A/N: the following is a random oneshot 5927 fic that was inspired in the middle of the night by the Song Time Of Dying by Three Days Grace. It is by no means my best work; it's actually rewritten while I had the song on repeat so it's less sad than the first draft I had written. Please enjoy.
Time Of Dying A 5927 oneshot.
Gokudera sighed. His life was flashing before his eyes as he lay on the ground outside the now destroyed Vongola Mansion. He felt himself fading into the void, but forced himself to hold onto life. Tsuna came running over to him. "GOKUDERA!" He screamed, kneeling next to the fallen body of his Storm Guardian and right hand man. Gokudera looked at him, his eyes full of pain.
"Juudaime... I can't move..."
Tsuna's eyes fill with pain and fear. "RYOHEI! SOMEONE! OVER HERE HELP!"
Gokudera smiled weakly. "Don't worry Tsuna. I will not die. I'll wait here for you..." then the darkness overtook him. Was he asleep? Was everything that happened just a dream? If it was he hoped Tsuna would wake him soon. It felt like he was living a nightmare. I will not die. He vowed to himself. I'll wait here for Tsuna...
Two Months Later
Gokudera lay in his bed, watching his life pass him by. He was in the newly rebuilt Vongola Mansion, in his and Tsuna's room. He was recovering well but it would still be another moth at least before he could walk. Was it too much, or not enough? He wondered.
At least he was able to keep his promise to Tsuna. He hadn't died. Sure it had been touch and go for the first three weeks, but he had pulled through. In fact he'd done well enough to be sent home early to recover. He still had visiting nurses come every day to bandage the wounds on his back and chest. The chest wound had been the very thing that had almost killed him, and the wound on his back had temporarily paralyzed him.
Then they would leave and Tsuna would talk to him, telling him everything that had happened that day, and promising that he would always love him. It made him happy to know that he had someone like Tsuna to love him and be there for him no matter what. They shared a bed, and even when Gokudera had nightmares, Tsuna would be there to hold him and comfort him.
Gokudera's resolve was hard, and he vowed that he would walk again, would serve Juudaime as the Storm Guardian for the rest of his life.
As long as Tsuna was beside him, he would not die.
************************************************************************ The first steps were painful, but he did it. He could walk again. It was now three months to the date from the attack on the base that had nearly killed him. He would still suffer nightmares, but other than some impressive scars on his chest and back there was no lasting physical damage. He was alive and back to normal, fighting alongside Juudaime and the other Guardians.
And that was the greatest gift he could have been given.
To emerge alive from his time of dying.
He vowed that he would never let anything like that happen to him again.
E/N: Like I said not my best work, but it's just a short little oneshot. I tried to break it up, sorry if it's too choppy or whatnot. I like reviews, it's nice to know what you guys think. Please tell me what you thought of this.
