If Only

"Oh god! Kouichi!" Tears streamed down my cheeks.

Kouji wasn't so brave either. Some tears rolled down his cheeks while Takuya patted his back. "Onii-san!" A whimper choked in his tears.

I'm not brave at all! I just let the tears fall down. I'm such a baby!

I can't even help the one I love. By this time, tears fell harder and I created a little puddle on my skirt. "S…stay with me K…k…" I couldn't hold it anymore. The tears ran faster. Kouji kept light tears, trying to keep himself brave. The others watched in silenced as heavy rain began to pour. Today is a perfect day for rain. Sadness fills the air and only sobs and rain can be heard. "Um…Zoe? I don't know if you are willing to listen to me but, there is still hope of bringing Kouichi back to us." JP put his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him in the corner of my eye but tears still streamed down. "Y…you need to talk to him. Give a reason on why he can't leave." He backed away. "Try it Zoe. You too Kouji." Takuya encouraged. "I won't give just one reason! I'll give them all." Kouji mumbled.

Kouji

"K…Kouichi? Onii-san? You know you cant leave. I know life is hard! I know life is cruel! But we can do this together. You have friends and a brother who needs you. How about Zoe? Will you just leave her? Remember that friends are always by your side and we'll help you!"

That was pretty short but I know he has a lot more to say. He just doesn't want to show off his true emotions. I stared at Kouichi and patted his forehead gently. "Kouichi? You know that Kouji is right and…what will happen if you leave me? I'm here! I'll always be with you! You know I love you, so why are you not here yet? Please Kouichi! I really need you now more than ever!" I finally found my voice. The tears came a little bit slower, but my heart still ached.

If only I could be back in your arms again.

And I can make you feel the love we knew back then.

Maybe you and I will stay forever if only I can be back in your arms again.

"Hmm." A small moan escaped Kouichi's lips.

I looked at his face and tears started to fall more slower.

Kouji looked as well. Our eyes widened. Come back to me! Come back to me!

All right! Kouichi's eyes slowly opened. I threw him a huge hug and so did Kouji, but my hug was harder. "Ehem! Excuse me guys but I don't want to die. Can I have some air please?" Kouichi gasped. We backed off and smiled. "Don't ever do that again!" We all yelled. "Promise." Kouichi kissed me on the cheek.

KM: Okay, this is a songfic for the couple of Koizumi (Kouichi x Zoe) I don't really like it. What do you think? If you don't like it…I'll be happy to change it!
