Infinite Cold by Yukari
I can't feel your touch anymore.
"Hayate!!" Himeno's voice tore through the darkness. "Hayate wake up, please. Hayate..."
Plip.
Plip.
Hayate!!!
I can't see your eyes anymore.
"H-hime...meno..."
"Hayate..." her voice was low...relieved.
Hayate fought to open his eyes. Himeno was holding his hand to her cheek. How desperately he wanted to wipe away her tears. But... "I can't feel your hand."
Her gasp was inaudible, but her face spoke volumes. "No Hayate, you can, you can!" She looked as if she was slowly being torn in two, her tears splashed everywhere.
I can't hear your voice anymore.
His eyes were threatening to close...he needed a picture of her to bring with him. He didn't want to remember her in pain. "Hi...me...no..."
The pain was beginning to set in. He wouldn't last much longer...
An attempt at a grin. "S-smile for me, once more..."
His lids were lowering...
The darkness gathered at the sides of his vision...
I can't smell your hair anymore.
A watery smile broke through the dam of tears. Darkness engulfed him.
I want to stay, but they're pulling me away.
Hayate's hands wilted in her hand.
"No! Stay with me! Hayate?"
I want to stay...
Himeno placed Hayate's head in her lap, finger combing his hair. Tears fell unchecked, onto his face.
A soft whisper broke the stifling silence. "Stay with me. Stay with me...forever."
...but they're pulling me away...
