/AN:: This is a modest fanfiction written for my English class. We had to write a short story using the guideline '' A day in the life of...'', and I decided to write a little tribute to Yumeka Sumomo, who's one of my favourite mangaka.

Disclaimer: Even though I would love them to, Uka, Mikami, and all the other characters and concept are not mine. They belong to their creator, Yumeka Sumomo-san.

Warning: nothing, unless you can't stand two guys kissing.

I woke up that day, it was still early in the morning. My legs hurt, but it was common to me so I didn't pay attention. I got up from bed; my head hurt too, and I fainted. Nothing new under the sun.

Luckily we had this meeting with my doctor already planned so we didn't go for nothing.

-Seems his condition has gotten worse.

I heard the doctor and my mom talk outside the office.

-It can't be, he was feeling better recently, he could play outside with Lily, I even saw him run after her, can we check one last time?

It was no use. Even if mom denied it, I had felt worse this last week.
He did check me up one last time to quiet her. Then he left and his assistant brought me my clothes.

«How's it going with Mimi? She asked.

-It's Mikami. » I didn't like it when they called him that. Now that I knew him better, I hated that nickname, given by classmates, people that barely knew him. « How many years do I have left? One, maybe two? I asked, ignoring her question.

-I told you to stop that. You're still so young, you should have more faith in the future. Today is special, so cheer up, okay? » Well, anyway. I mean, it was my birthday, but I didn't feel any different than yesterday. Just another year passed in a cocoon, waiting to be free.

We left shortly after that. I suddenly had the urge to call him. To hear his voice. To ask if I could see him, and be with him forever. But he did first.

« Can I come over now?

-Sure, Mikami. » And that was that.

We sat on a bench in a park near my house. « Can you hear it? I know you can. Seems I'll become a butterfly sooner than I thought.

-You're a weird guy, huh? You're still here right now, so don't say that. I don't like it. »

Mikami can hear when someone is dying. I never understood how, but I think it's just because he's so kind. He can feel people that way. That's why sometimes he doesn't want to see me. He says it hurts.

« Feels like my wings have grown larger, » I laughed. Becoming a butterfly seemed so much better. I liked that idea. « this way I can always watch over you.» Then he kissed me. I pretended I didn't feel his tears falling on my cheeks. I hold him in my arms.
« You are definitely the weird one. » I felt like I would never die. Or like I was already dead. I don't know. « Uka, the butterfly man, watching over his lover from the sky.

-It sounds great, doesn't it? » I smiled. « No... » He said, and kissed me again. « but happy birthday.

-Thanks. »
