Chapter 1; Don't Leave Me...Please
Crow walked into the cafe and sat down at a table away from the others. Rom, Yaiba and Aion looked at him concerned as he ate slowly not saying anything.
"Something's wrong." Rom whispered to the others. "So you've noticed it too hence." Yaiba whispered back. "Yeah." Rom nodded his head.
"Crow what's wrong?" Aion walked over to him and rested a hand on his hip. "Nothing." Crow shrugged as he looked up at him.
"You're lying. You have dark circles under your eyes obvious signs that you haven't been sleeping well. Now Rodent tell me exactly what's wrong." Aion crossed his arms and tilted his head. "Nothing is wrong Wimpion. I've just been having trouble sleeping." Crow looked away as Aion frowned.
"I know you're lying and I will find out what it is." Aion cupped Crow's chin in his hand before releasing the smaller man and walking away. "You won't get the chance to." Crow mumbled before turning back to his food. Aion continued to watch Crow concern and worry shining in his eyes.
"Crow don't." Aion took a step forward as Crow stood on the edge of the roof. "It's too late for me goodbye." Crow stepped off the edge. "Crow!" Aion rushed forward but it was too late.
Aion sat up in a cold sweat gasping for air as his heart raced. "Good it was just a dream." Aion sighed in relief as he looked around and saw that he was in his room.
"Aion!" Rom barged into Aion's room and a chill went down his spine. "What happened to Crow!?" Aion looked at Rom the fear obvious in his face and voice.
"He's in the hospital. I'll explain more on the way." Rom replied not even surprised at what Aion had said. Aion jumped up and quickly pulled on a shirt as he followed Rom quickly out of the building.
Rom and Aion made their way to the van. They sat down in the back as Maple took the driver's seat. Rom turned to Aion a serious look on his face as soon as Maple started driving
"Crow, he well he tried to kill himself." Rom took Aion's hands within his own. "That idiot. How bad?" Aion looked straight into Rom's eyes as he tried to keep his voice steady. Rom noticed that Aion's hands began to shake and the fear in his eyes.
"He's lost a lot of blood and they can't say for sure. Yaiba's already there." Rom's voice shook. "Why couldn't I save him I knew something was wrong but I let him go why?" Tears began running down Aion's face. Rom said nothing he just held Aion against him gently.
They soon arrived at the hospital and Maple stopped the van outside the doors. "We're here." Rom said quietly. Aion quickly wiped his tears. They entered the hospital. Rom spoke to a doctor who led them to the room Crow was in.
When they got to the room Rom opened the door and they walked inside. Aion looked at the heart monitor and IV set up near Crow. Yaiba sat on a chair beside Crow, he stood up when Aion and Rom entered. "Good you're here hence. He's stable for now." Yaiba walked towards them tear stains on his cheeks.
"Aion we know you have something important you have to say to him so we'll leave you alone." Rom opened the door and ushered Yaiba out. Aion was left alone with Crow.
"Crow." Aion whispered as he walked towards the bed blinking back tears.
"If you die I'll never forgive you." Aion sat down on the edge of the bed. He took Crow's hand in his own and looked at the unconscious red head. Crow was pale very pale, he looked already dead the only sign of life being the small rise and falls of his chest.
"I know you probably feel like you have nothing to live for but you're wrong you have us you have your music. Please Crow don't let the crimson fire of your soul burn out. Rodent I really hope you can hear me because i've been hiding something important from you that I've been meaning to tell you but I didn't know how. I hate to tell you this when you're like this and you probably can't hear me but I need you to know." Aion closed his eyes and took a deep breath as he tried to steady his voice.
"Crow I love you more than you can ever imagine. Long before you rescued me that time. I wish that I could have saved you this time. My heart is breaking to see you like this. So Crow if you need a reason to live I'm right here and I will never let you fall again. So whatever you do Rodent live for me." Aion squeezed Crow's hand and kissed his forehead. When Aion pulled away he swore there was the faintest of smiles on Crow's face. Aion didn't know how long he sat there watching Crow before he drifted off.
AN- This is part 1 of a series of 3 called The Crimson Legacy Series. The series is an Mpreg series although the actual Mpreg happens in one fic and as per usual it's Aion/Crow because I love them and this pairing so much. So this is more or less a heads up about the Mpreg thing. I hope you enjoy this fic and the rest of the series.
