I only own the idea.

PROLOGUE

The smell of antiseptic filled the room.

The pale green walls meant to aid healing had seemingly no effect.

All this accompanied by the constant humming of machines and its steady beeping to remind me that you are still very much alive, but all in a vain if it was an attempt to comfort me.

Why.

We knew the world was cruel.

But so as long as we were together, everything will work out eventually.

Or so we thought.

So is this the price for wishful thinking?

"Akashi-kun…"

"Now Tetsuya what did I say about calling me by my first name?"

"Sei… Seiju… Sei-kun!"

Only if you were awake.

I would tell you how my heart was filled with warmth, one that soon flooded my entire body with content that I would otherwise have never believed existed.

Those gentle hands trying to hide your lovely face.

That gentle tinge of pink against your soft, pale skin.

What that is now left behind.

Not the ghost of your smile let alone that blush I loved so much.

Gaunt and drained of all color.

Hands so bony and heartbreakingly cold.

So frail as though the windows were all tightly shut to prevent the wind from sweeping you away.

"Seijuro, we were young and wilful, but time had caught up with up, we're no longer sixteen. Let's put an end to this game, it is time to move on."

"I don't understand… Why the sudden change…"

"Sei, please, take it as my own selfish request, if you can't accede to my request, then I'll just end it here and now with my own hands."

"Tetsuya, I love you. I always will, no matter the circumstances."

You are too kind my love.

The emotions your eyes betrayed over words that day.

The amount of sadness and desperation spilling from that pair of clear blue orbs.

The depth of those feelings no one could phantom.

But how those words pierced my heart that day.

Not because you believed that those white lies could escape my eyes.

But for you to think that it would be for the better for you to face this alone.

Staring at your long eyelashes, will I ever see those honest eyes again?

While those lids tightly shut, I'll remain here by your side.

However before you wake, should I leave?

Okay that's all for now! It's my first fic, ahh I'm so nervous right now! Hope you'll be kind to me! Forgive the occasional fragmentation, but we don't always think in proper sentences right? Review maybe? But most of all, thank you for reading!
