I sighed in exasperation, an adamant bluenette sitting by me. Ever since we got Aichi back, he was irresponsive, his eyes barely showing any signs of life. We changed him into different clothes, a white shirt with purple here and there, jeans, and navy blue shirt, but we got no reaction.
I even tried to tell him him how happy we were to have him back.
Nothing happened.
I tried to coax him to eat, opening his mouth and putting a spoonful of rice there, only to find that he didn't chew, just sat there, staring at me blankly. I sighed, moving his head and chin to try to make the food somewhat chewed, and rubbed his throat to make him try to swallow.
I succeeded, but I didn't feel happy about it. I wanted Aichi back.
I wanted the Aichi I loved back.
Every now and then, he would mutter just one word, a bead of water coming from his eye.
We all tried, but no one was able to get any reaction from the dormant bluenette. We even convinced the Quatre Knights to try something, but nothing happened either. But for some reason, whenever I tried kissing his forehead, his eyes would light up.
But that's all.
And I couldn't take it anymore.
I took him outside, or, carried him. He silently flopped in my arms, just continued to stare into space silently.
The sky was grey, and the air was getting colder, but to my relief, Aichi started shivering, another sign of life. I hugged him, letting my warmth envelope him, and I caressed his cheek.
It was ice cold, as if it had no sign of life in it, but I knew Aichi was still alive, we checked his pulse.
I threw him down on the concrete in frustration, my despair and anguish of losing my lover's glow overwhelming me as snow started falling, falling to the ground and melting in a moment.
What a transient life...
I sighed, looking up at the sky, cold flakes falling on my cheek. Snow reminded me of Aichi, piling up like a light. The thought made me want to shake Aichi and tell him to wake up.
"It's no use..." I sobbed, tears streaming down my face. My heart was tearing itself apart.
"Please don't leave me, I beg you!" I screamed, unable to stop my voice from wavering. I recalled all the times when Aichi smiled, when it felt like the sun was basking me, and. I always felt warm inside.
Now I felt as hollow as Aichi's eyes.
"Please, if possible, take my voice and give it to my loved one..." I whispered croakily, my tears falling on Aichi's face along with the small flakes falling from the sky, seeming like the only thing moving in my motionless world.
I screamed, sobbing, more tears plopping on Aichi's face. My feelings were starting to pile up on me, like the snow, surrounding us and covering everything in white.
Small beads of water coming from hollow blue eyes. His mouth twitching.
A soundless voice.
"Ai...chi..." I whispered, hugging him. I felt like I was hugging a bag of ice, but I didn't care.
I felt like the gray sky was starting to clear. I felt my shoulder become wet, as the flakes piled up, more and more, covering the small weeds and trees, the gray world seeming to close in on me.
"I love you... So please, return to normal..." I whispered, my cloudy breath tingling both of our cheeks, as I witnessed light finally shining in his eyes, our tears melting the snow below us, as the life flooded back into him. He looked at me with those gentle, angelic, blue orbs.
And he smiled.
