{ Twenty Third Day } Promise Me: Hayato x Reader

As the smoke cleared, your eyes widened in horror, registering the dreadful scene that unfolded before you; Hayato had pushed you away to avoid a lethal blow from the enemy, and he took the attack instead. You immediately rushed forward to the injured man, tears flowing down uncontrollably as you tried to staunch his wound with little success.

You hugged him tightly, hoping that by some miracle or chance, someone might come by and save him; and that he didn't need to submit to this horrible fate.

But all was life's decision.

You could only watch as he withered away, the single speck of life ebbing from him as you clutched his hands tightly. You wanted to be the last person he was with, and that his final smile would be your only treasure...

"Promise me you'll live on, [Y/N]."

And in that moment, all was lost.
