Hello! So I'm relatively new at this sort of thing, and I am experimenting with different types of stories. This is way different than anything else I've ever done so please bare with me! If any one wants to help out with ideas, or maybe advise that would be much appreciated!
This is a Yaoi fanfiction! You have been warned! More than likely nothing more than pg13 will happen, but I will change the rating if that changes in the future. Also some characters may seem more OC than normal, again I'm new at this and I am experimenting still. Now relax and enjoy!
I don't know anything related to Diamond No Ace!
It all happened so fast. One minute they were together, then the next they weren't. His lungs burned, legs sore, panic filling his chest. He gritted his teeth, his eyes watching the figure get farther and father away from him. Why was he so far away? He picked up the pace, why had he let it come to this? Why did he allow this to happen? That's when he heard it, a loud bang, a scream, and then silence.
He whipped around the corner, his breath hitched. He stopped, as he saw the scene before him. No… no no no no no! His feet moved, rushing to the unmoving figure in front of him. His vision blurred, this can't be real… this CAN'T be happening right now.
It all happened so fast, one minute they were together, then the next they weren't. His chest ached, his arms wrapping around the figure as he brought him closer "Eijun, hey Eijun can you hear me?" he asked the younger boy. When he received no answer, more panic filled his chest. He barely heard the concerned voice calling out to him, but when he did he demanded they call for help.
His eyes snapped back down to the boy in his arms, and he tapped his cheek softly "Eijun, Eijun I need you to stay with me… oh god… you better stay with me!" he chocked out. When he heard a strained groan, he snapped his eyes over to Eijun's.
He felt more fear, and when he looked more closely he could see there was barely any life in those golden orbs he was so allured by. He looked the boy over, placing a hand over his mouth. He had only just noticed the blood… so much blood.
This wasn't happening, no, no this seriously wasn't happening. Kazuya quickly placed his hand on Eijun's stomach, as he tried to stop the blood "Ka… Kazu.." Eijun struggled with his words. Pain was etched into his face, and he was struggling to keep his eyes open. Kazuya shook his head "don't talk, you'll only make it worse you idiot. You'll be ok, once we get someone to check you over you'll-" he was stopped, as Eijun shook his head.
Kazuya felt hot tears invading the corner of his eyes, as Eijun weakly placed his hand on his cheek "love you… I love you… so much Kazuya" he muttered weakly. It was then that the boy used whatever energy he had left to pull him closer, before placing a messy kiss on his lips. Kazuya's eyes widened, but he slide his eyes closed and returned the kiss. Kazuya held him closer, before their lips parted. Tears dripped down his cheeks.
Kazuya knew, he knew what this kiss was meant for. He didn't want to accept it, he didn't want to accept this goodbye. He looked at Eijun weakly "don't you dare leave me, you can't leave me!" he croaked. Eijun gave him a weak smile, his hand slipping from his cheek. Eiju's golden color started to fade quickly, his eyes sliding closed "love you…" he whispered, before everything seemed to slow down.
It all happened so fast. One minute they were together, then the next they weren't. He began to shake his shoulder, as the boy in his arms grew colder and colder. Red and blue flashed, sirens blared, and voices rang. Kazuya just stared forward, not able to respond. Everything didn't seem real, COUNLD'T be real. When something tugged at the body in his arms, Kazuya refused to budge and held to boy closely. He refused to accept this, Eijun wasn't dead, he was just tired. He'd wake up, and brush his finger tips across his cheek before cooping it while smiling at him with that goofy face of his. Then Eijun would scowl at his snippy comment and he'd lean in and silence him with a kiss.
However, none of that was ever going to happen again. Not if he truly believed Eijun was gone. That's when the world grew cold. It was as if time itself had come to a stop. This wasn't real… this couldn't be real!
Present Time
His eyes snapped open, his breath hitched. Sweat coated his skin, his shirt soaked. He blinked, his hand resting on his head softly. He quickly grabbed his glasses and placed them on so he could see. His tired eyes moved to the side, and stared at the small clock to the side of him. It was 5:30 in the morning, and a groan escaped his lips "again huh…" he whispered, gripping his chest.
It had been two years and seven months since the death his sun, two years and seven months since his life turned dark, and two years and seven months since he still couldn't accept his lovers fate. Kazuya thought about that night everyday, if only he had been faster, been smoother with his words… maybe then he'd be smiling at the boy next to him as he greeting him with a morning kiss.
He rubbed the bridge of his nose, before looking at the empty space next to him. It felt so wrong, all of this felt unnatural and cold. How could the world just keep on going as if nothing ever happened? Sure people grieved for a few months, but sure enough they slowly went back to life as if nothing ever happened in the first place.
His heart ached, it ached so much for his lovers golden eyes and brilliant smile. He cursed, and slowly got out of bed. He quickly got rid of his sweaty clothes and jumped into the shower, before getting out and dressing himself. Kazuya couldn't remember the last time he actually had a good nights sleep, after the incident he never was able to sleep without having that dream.
It was his fault, 100% his fault. He had said things he hadn't meant to say, did things he hadn't meant to do. Now, the one good thing in his life was gone forever. He slammed his fist against the counter "damn it… you idiot! You selfish… foolish… idiot" he chocked weakly, placing his face into his hands.
He sighed, closing his eyes as he moved out of the room. He didn't bother to make food to eat, Kazuya just didn't have any appetite after seeing that dream. So he kicked on his shoes, and locked the door behind him as he left. He walked slowly, his mind in a haze. Before he knew it, he was now standing in front of a grave. His eyes looked at it sadly, his fingers bushing against the engraved words "why didn't you let me explain? Why did you have to run off like that bakamura, it wasn't what you thought… I didn't mean for you to get so upset" he chocked.
He fell to his knees "If I could go back… If I could fix this then I would… I loved you so much… so much so that I'm lost without you, have no reason to live without you, and my life is just dark without you" he whispered, closing his eyes.
"Then why don't you go back and fix it?" a voice called. Kazuya's eyes snapped open, and he looked up. No one was in front of him, maybe behind him? When he turned, he saw a person dressed in all black "what do you mean change it? He's… he's already…" Kazuya didn't finish.
The figure remained unmoving "I see… if you've already given up, I'm afraid I'm wasting my time" the figure said, before turning to leave. Kazuya jumped "wait, wait!" he called.
The figure stopped, looking back over at him "do you still deny the reality of your situation? Do you still curse the fate that was thrown upon you? Do you still believe you could have saved your loved one from perishing?" the voice asked.
Kazuya didn't understand what this figure wanted, but he couldn't help but feel that if he didn't speak he'd regret it for the rest of his life "yes" he answered without hesitation.
The figure smiled cunningly "I see, then there may be hope for you yet. I can feel the resentment and anguish you feel, you want to re-do what has been done… but I do wonder, can you really change fate?" he asked aloud.
Kazuya gulped, clenching his fist "I won't stop, I'll never stop thinking that this is how the world was supposed to be like. I refuse to live in a world where that man doesn't exist" he said.
The figure smiled "Good, I can feel the determination flowing through your words… what if I told you that you could have a second chance, that you could have a chance to re-write what fate has in store for you" it said.
A chill ran down Kazuya's spine, and he stood "I'd take it without hesitation" he replied quickly.
The voice laughed a bit eerily, "even at the cost of time itself? If you re-write what fate has predestined, you may lose the one thing you love the most… are you still prepared to go through with it? You may re-live that moment, or even re-live something worse than what fate originally planned, are you still willing to try, even if the rate of success is less than 1%?" it asked.
Kazuya blinked, could he still go through it? Would he lose Eijun, would he never be able to be together with him? He shook his head, life was already dull and grey. There was no point to this life, no point in living in this time. He looked up determined "I don't care what the risks are, and I don't care how low the success rate is. If I can save him, I'll do whatever it takes… whatever the cost" he said.
The figure shifted forward "even at the cost of your own life?" it asked.
Kazuya nodded "even at the cost of my life" he stated instantly.
The voice smiled "good, good, very good! You only have one chance, one trip, and one life" it said. Kazuya nodded, not exactly sure what was going to happen now.
The figure moved forward again, before thrusting something into his chest. Kazuya gasped, coughing as something cold and chilling entered his body. He couldn't move, couldn't blink, couldn't breath.
The figure started to blur from his vision, their last words ringing in his head "I cannot say where or when you'll wake up… however, remember you have one chance to make it right… one chance to make sure fate doesn't go as planned. Safe journey, and may fate get destroyed in your wake" it echoed.
Then everything went black.
Well that's it for this chapter! I hope you all enjoy, please leave comments and let me know how I'm doing! Chapters will not have a regular update schedule. I'll release chapters when I feel ready to. Mostly due to school taking up my life haha, but don't worry! I plan to stick with it and write as much as I can! See you next time!
Note! Present Time is referring to Kazuya waking up from the "dream" he had of the accident that night.
