Song: 'Every Heart' by: BoA
-oo-
The blonde man sat next to the hospital bed, his fingers intertwined with those of the pale-skinned man lying peacefully in a deep slumber.
If there were many tears falling down,
Every heart would become gentle.
If everybody expresses what they think,
Every heart can be satisfied.
The blonde sobbed quietly, silent tears falling down his tan face. He knew deep in his heart, that this time would be the last.
I was frightened by the never-ending night,
So I prayed to the distant stars.
He pressed the tangled mass of fingers into his forehead, relishing the feeling. He never wanted to forget.
In endlessly repeating time,
We were searching for love,
Because we wanted to become stronger.
We look up to the faraway sky.
The man thought back to the happy times the two had shared, when everything was simple and content. It seemed as though nothing bad would ever happen in those days, that those awful stories about illness and death were something that only happened far away, never to the people close to him. Never to him.
The two of us, smiling, meet here,
Every heart has a habit of receiving its dreams.
Sadness has no effect on us,
Every heart gains happiness when it flies.
He remembered them playing happily, blissfully unaware of the disease already infecting one of the boys.
Someday our souls will unite,
We will give peaceful approval.
The blonde felt more tears welling up in his cerulean eyes. He didn't bother to hold them back. He was past hiding his feelings. It didn't seem to matter anymore. Nothing did.
In endlessly repeating time,
We know why we are living.
We go through the nighttime laughing,
Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on.
He listened to the steady beeping of the heart monitor, trying to fall asleep, hoping that he would wake up to find this all a dream. His memories were one place he did not want to be. 'Dwelling on the past only makes things more difficult.' The boy smirked, looking at the one who had said that to him.
Memories of everything has settled,
This is a warm place to be.
The stars separate us from the future,
We are always so brilliant,
So shine.
'If only it were me. If only you could live. I don't want to see you like this, but I can't bear to leave. Do you even know what you are doing to me?'
In endlessly repeating time,
We were searching for love,
Because we wanted to become stronger.
We look up to the faraway sky.
'No, I don't want you to feel the pain I feel now. I'd rather you die, so I can bear the burden, and you may be peaceful. I don't want you to feel the pain of loosing someone you...you…'
In endlessly repeating time,
We know why we are living.
We go through the nighttime laughing,
Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on.
'…love.' The man blinked at his thought, then smiled warmly, before leaning down and kissing the dying man softly on his cold lips. 'I love you, Sasuke. May you find eternal happiness in the after life. I hope to join you soon.' The blond fell asleep against the intertwined hands. The beeping of the heart monitor slowing, until it turned to one monotone beep.
Both of us are mourning, yet we walk on.
