Proof of life
Two-Shot I think...
Prologue (Somehow)
He smiled up at me as I entered the small cozy room. It was winter and I brought him a mug of hot milk. We, somehow, survived and got educated by a very kind couple who adopter us when we were still young. Now that we wanted to let go of them since they have a child now, they tearfully said their goodbyes.
"Hey, Noll…" Gene said weakly with a smile.
It brought a searing pain in my chest as he said those words.
"How are you feeling now, Gene?" I said with a forced smile.
My voice almost cracked that time. He got this kind of sickness which was unexplainable…It's just that, he's becoming weaker and weaker by the day. I would gladly take it away from him and instead have that sickness in me. I pain me just to look at his pale face, trying to express as if it's okay.
"I'm fine, Noll! Merry Christmas!" He laughed.
I couldn't help but smile sadly, "Merry Christmas too Gene…!"
Then we chatted as if we haven't seen each other for a long time. We laughed and jokingly hated each other. But still…I couldn't help but see this as if this was his goodbye.
No, that couldn't be it.
He'll live…I promise that…he would really live.
Crack!
My eyes widened as Gene's mug slipped from his shaking hands.
No.
Gene Looked at his hands, shocked. He then looked at my fearful expression and smiled, tilting his head a little. I excused myself and opened the door, saying, "I'll make some dinner alright?"
He nodded and I closed the door.
I rested by back at the door and lifted my hands to my eyes as salty tears cascaded down my cheeks. Why does he have to suffer this…?
Kami-sama why!
"I beg of you…" I mumbled, "Please…help my brother…"
Please…
