So this is some H/C | Drama | History Shinsengumi Fanfic I wrote a couple years ago. (As a comission)
I got bored on my all-holiday train ride and due to the fact that I couldn't get ideas for my Drabble collection, I translated it into proper English.
I didn't even remember writing this, I hope it's not to late..
Warnings: Contains a lot of sad moments, character death, war flashbacks. Don't like don't read.
Afraid.
"I wonder if you even had a fair chance..."
It was a cloudy, grey day when he went off to the Matsumoto Ryoujin hospital. I would have loved to follow him.
Now, that I know what was wrong with him, I didn't want to leave him alone with it. But I didn't have a choice at all. The Boshin war left to many corpses, to many crying children. If I went with him I would have been a traitor to all of them. And I couldn't forgive myself for that.
"I wonder if he cared for me as well..."
I watched him leaving the headquarter in Edo. His body vanished in the burning evenings horizon and everything on my mind was his face. Even though it changed, he never lost his smile during that time. Whatever has happened to us, Soji kept this strong smile of his.
