"I have your best friend's heart now. I'll be your best friend now…"
TITLE: My Best Friend's Heart.
DEDICATION: greentulip, this is dedicated for you. Thanks for introducing the site to me, it changed my perspective on things ;). Thanks so much.
COUPLE: MikanxHotaruxYouichi
GENRE: Hurt/Comfort/Tragedy
She's dead. And there's nothing I can or could do about it. Not a ritual, not a prayer, not a single thread of hope can bring my best friend back. I'm such an idiot really. I thought everything in life would be optimistic for me while I was still in my youth, and as I grow older, life gets harder and harder. But I was wrong. Life was never easy, even when I was an infant. But I should've known. I should've known my best friend was an organ donor. I was her best friend, so I should've known everything about her. But I didn't. Forgive me Hotaru.
Sob. Blow. Sob. Sniff. Sniff.
This was my life currently. I was cuddled up in the middle of my bed with millions of tissues surrounding me. Crying was the only thing on my agenda right now. How could I not cry? My best friend had just recently died, and from what? From donating her heart to a little nine-year old boy. Not that I could blame him for Hotaru's death.
Imai Hotaru died three days ago. That was the day where I had the biggest weeping session of my life. And this time, I was alone. All my other friends were the through it all to comfort me, but I was lifeless therefore I pushed them away further from me.
Imai Hotaru was an organ donor. I had just found out two days ago. That was the day where I could finally see a positive side to her death. But still the rest was negative and cruel.
Imai Hotaru donated her heart to a little nine-year old boy. I only found out one day ago. That was the day where I hoped so much just to meet him. Who knows? It was sort of a small world, anyways.
Imai Hotaru's heart was beating healthily and lively in this little boy's body. I only found out four hours ago. Today was the day where my hope had established itself in my life once again.
The most inspiring thing about this little boy was that, the simplest of words had deeply and greatly affected me. It tore me to bits.
"Sorry, I have your best friend's heart now. I'll be your best friend now if you want." That was what the boy had said to me. Of course, I was in a loss of words from being touched. Therefore I had just nodded numbly to his simple request.
"It's alright. Hotaru donated her heart for a reason. I would never hate you for being her reason."
After crying, I realised I was being stupid, more stupid than ever in my entire life. Hotaru would've never wanted me to cry like a baby over her death. If she were here now, she would have said, "Stop crying, idiot. You're snot makes you look uglier than before." I laughed at the irony before putting my foot down – figuratively - and deciding that crying wasn't the solution. Starting from today, I have a new best friend. No, I won't be ditching Hotaru for someone else. But today, I'll have both my best friends living in one. Literally.
Youichi and Hotaru. Now they are my best friends.
"Hotaru, I want you to know I'm fine now. You don't need to worry about me no more. But remember, you'll always be my best friend in the whole entire universe. Goodbye, I love you."
I could've sworn I heard her small, tingly chuckle. I smiled to myself and thought, 'Hotaru and Youichi give me hope.'
Woooo. I finished with this 'drabble'. It was supposed to be a short drabble, but turned out to be a really really long one, but a really really short one-shot. So please forgive my clumsiness ;P. Thanks, hope you guys review. And I'll be updating more long/short drabbles here. Oh yeah, this story was based on a true story in ;D I hope you guys read it! It's VERY inspiring.
Disclaimer: I do not; in anyway, own the GMH stories, or Gakuen Alice. Thank you very much. Come again ;).
