100 themes of kurofai
Heaven
(fai POV)
They say that money can't buy happiness, that riches and lonliness go
hand in hand. When I was a kid I couldn't disagree more. I had a huge
house and everything I ever wanted, not to mention my brother was
there to share it all with me. Fai, my beloved nii-chan, thought just
the opposite.
"Yuui, these riches won't be able to get you everything. One day I'll
be gone and you'll have to find someone to spend your life with.
Promise me that you won't use money to find them." that's what he told
m the night before he died. We were only 17. My family was on our way
to the airport to go home from our vaccation in Japan, when we got
into an accident with a drunk driver. I lost an eye, but ny parents
died as well as my brother, and suddenly I was the sole heir to my
family's fortune. But after that... I didn't want it anymore. I sat in
my hospital bed signing the papers to collect my ineritance, and I
felt disgusted with it. Fai was right. Money means nothing with nobody
to share it with. The day after that a nurse wheeled in another boy,
who looked to be about my age.
"I'm terribly sorry, mr. Flourite, but you're going to have to share a
room. This is Kurogane, he was also involved in the same crash as you."
I looked over at him and felt my heart wrench. He looked absolutely
fine except for one thing. His arm was missing.
"What the hell are you looking at?"
The week that followed went by without anything really happening.
Until Friday that is. The nurse came into the room and looked at
Kurogane sadly.
"Mr. Suwa... Your parents died in that crash... And your inheritence
isn't enough to cover your hospital bills any longer. We have a few
options you can take for a loan or-"
"I'll pay for it." in that week I had gotten to have a strong...
Liking for him. I didn't want him to have to leave.
"No it's fine I'll just leave and go home..."
"I'll pay. I've got plenty from my inheritence and... I don't want
this filthy money anymore."
With quite a bit of persuading, I managed to convince him to let me pay.
Two weeks later he was fitted with a prosthetic arm and we were both
released at the same time. We were both 17, and had no friends or
family to speak of, so we did what any teenager would do. I invited
Kurogane to stay at my house. By that time I knew I was falling for
him, and I knew that it probably wasn't in my best interest to be
around him all the time, but I couldn't help myself. And it turned out
that my bad choice paid off. We were sitting in the movie room
watching The Pursuit if Happiness, and I was reminded of what my
brother used to say and of the promise I had made. I hoped he didn't
consider paying a $10,000 hospital bill to be buying someone's
affection, because I knew I just had to go for it.
"Kuro-pon?"
""What the hell is with those nicknames? And what do you want?"
"I like you. A lot." short quick and o the point. Good so far. I was
sort of surprised at his reaction, though. He said nothing, just stood
and stalked off to his room to brood. Two hours late he came back
downstairs. I was still sitting on the couch in the tv room, watching
a new movie. Hhe sat down next to me and pulled me closer to him.
"Me too."
It was at that moment that I realized what Fai had been talking about.
I didn't care if I had nothing, I only cared that Kuro-run cared about
me. I was truly happy, and if I had died at that moment I would have
had no regrets at all. It felt like I was walkibg in heaven.
This one sort of sucked ._. sorry
