Precious Memories- TYL59XReader
It all started with a headache
"Hey [Name], you alright? You don't look so good."
"Yeah, my head hurts. I'll take aspirin later."
Such a small, small headache
"You sure you're fine? It's been a week since you first complain."
"Trust me, a headache like this will go away soon."
And then the vomiting
"Oi woman, you sick? I can tell Juudaime I'll take the day off for you."
"It's okay. Maybe I gave myself food poisoning earlier…"
Lastly a fever
"That's it! I'm asking Juudaime for a day off!"
"*Tiny, weak smile* If you say so."
I should've known
"I'm going to drag you to the doctors so you'll stop complaining!"
"*Pout* You know I hate the doctors."
That something was terribly wrong
"Stupid woman, let's go."
"Where?"
"Fresh air relieves a headache."
I should've notice the hints
"Hey, hey, hey, remember our first times?"
"Which one?"
"Well, there was one when we held hands and kissed and…"
Her behavior
"[Name]…[Name]! Are you listening to me? What flavor ice cream do you want?"
"…What? Oh, ummm, that one! That's the one I want!"
The car coming our way
"[Name], [Name], [Name]! Answer me!"
I couldn't make it in front of her in time
"Please! Just answer back…"
And then the worse began
"Mr. Gokudera? It seems like [Name] didn't suffer major injuries in the crash…"
I saw his grave expression
"Oh, so she's okay. Right Doc.?"
"…The operation we did on her…it helped us find a tumor in her brain. Now, the one she has causes cognition and behavioral impairment."
I didn't know what to say at that time
"There's the option of surgery but the chances are very low. I'm sure you both don't want to go with that choice but it's open anytime."
If she saw me then, I know she would've said 'It's speechless! You're being speechless right now Hayato!'
"She'll lose her memory every 10 days. I hope you can cope with that."
"…S-sure."
I'm going to miss her greetings
"I'm Gokudera Hayato, your boyfriend, and you are [Last Name] [Name]."
"Oh. I'm…[Name]? And you're…Hayato- san?"
"Well, it's a start."
Her jokes
"G-Gokudera, right? And you're [Name]'s boyfriend?"
"No, you are [Name]. I'm your boyfriend."
Her hugs
"Wait, can you say that again or did I hear wrong? You're my boyfriend?"
"Yes I am. You have a brain tumor that…"
The warmth from her hands
"Mr. Gokudera? Wow, I never knew I had a hot boyfriend."
"No, leave the mister out. I'm just Hayato."
"But…I barely know you. Why 'Hayato'?"
Her kisses
"Mister, you're very nice and all but can you stop following me?"
Her laughter
"G-get away from me! I don't know you, okay!"
Her smile
"P-please! I just want to be alone! I don't need you!"
"Listen to me! Just let me explain everything. It all started when you had this headache…"
That beautiful smile, gone.
"S-so you expect me to believe that we've been dating since we were 15 years old, been together for 8 years, you of all people took all of my firsts and I have this tumor that makes me forget everything every 10 days? That's…absurd."
"Well, 10 years now since yesterday marked our anniversary and 2 years since the tumor was found."
Has it really been this long?
A pause.
"You…You must have been lonely for these past two years. I've hurt you so much. Surely you can't keep this up anymore?"
Time sure flies by whenever I'm with her
"[Name]-"
"If- if having that surgery will restore my memories back, then I'll do it! For both of our sakes!"
"…Are you sure of this?"
"I want to remember everything we did together since we first met! From our first kiss to- to, well everything!" A light hue of pink dusts her cheeks.
Oh, how I miss seeing her like that.
"Then I'll inform the doctor tomorrow. Let's enjoy today; I'll treat you to some ice cream. Oi, and just to let you know, you hated doctors~."
The surgery proceeded soon after and it wasn't long before the surgeon came out
"Oi doctor! Was the surgery a success?"
"Yes it was-"
"That's great then!"
"But I suggest you go to her right now."
The surgery was only a success for gaining her memories back
"N-no, it can't be true!"
"I'm sorry."
I was devastated
"[Name]…[Name]."
"What's with the long face? I'm back."
I couldn't do anything to stop Death
"Stupid, of course you are."
Nothing about the tears threatening to spill
"Hey, hey, hey Hayato. You remember all of our firsts?"
The whisper in her voice was so fragile
"W-Which ones?"
Her breathing was so shallow
"Well, there's when we held hands and kissed and…"
Everything she said was in an exhale and she couldn't even finish that sentence
"I'll open a window; you know fresh air relieves a headache."
By this time I held back my sobs
"Where's Tsuna- kun and everybody else?"
But they were very noticeable
"O-oh, Judaime and that baseball freak? You know, same ol' stuff."
I struggled to keep an undersized smile on my face
"Hayato, I going to miss everything. Especially you."
As I attempt to say this to her while on one knee
"[Name], I know you've been waiting for this ever since and now I'll say it; will you finally marry me after all these years?"
"*A feeble gasp* Of course I will!"
The ring glistered in the sun as I put her treasure on her ring finger
"Hayato,"
I hung onto her every word
"You'll be okay by yourself, right?"
And the tears never looked so heartbreaking in her teary eyes
"[Name], I can't live without you. And I know that you've heard me say this billion of times but I'll say it again. I love you."
She gave me her best effort of a smile
"So how about a kiss?"
And we did; my tears dripped down and fell on her still face
"*Sob* [Name]…"
I'll never see that smile again
