Nightmare
"Y-Yui?"
Pitch-blackness was everywhere. She couldn't see, couldn't hear, and couldn't feel anything.
Soon though everything came into sharp focus and she could plainly see the unmoving body of the one she held so dearly to her heart.
There was so much blood and the maroon stain kept growing on the unconscious girl's side.
"Yui!"
She finally was able to move her legs as she quickly ran over to the body and began to push her hand against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding. It wouldn't stop and Yui's body was growing colder by the minute.
"G-gomen ne…"
That voice sounded so weak as Yui called out to her, eyes half-lidded and obviously in pain.
"D-Don't say that…"
"…g-gomen…"
"S-Shut up s-stupid, y-you'll be f-fine…I just have t-to call the…" Her phone was missing, why of all times was it missing now! She looked around frantically for the device but was only surrounded by darkness. There was no way to find it now, and Yui was slowly leaving.
"I…I l-lov-"
"Shh…You'll b-be okay….don't leave me."
She felt Yui take a deep shuddery breath before exhaling deeply…and didn't breathe again. Those half-lidded eyes stared up into her own, and she could feel her own will snapping as she pulled the body close and began to rock slowly back and forth slowly.
"…n-no…Y-Yui…."
Nothing will bring her back.
She was dead.
Dead…
"N-no! YUI!" Azusa snapped up in bed, shaking violently as she tried to breathe, when she felt it impossible to control herself as she began to fumble around for the nightstand before tumbling out of bed onto the cold ground.
Cold sweat dripped down her body as she tried to calm her breathing, but she noticed that with each shaky breath she took, less air she got.
"Azusa! What's wrong?" Came a worried reply before a figure got down on the floor with her. "Kami-sama! You're so pale! Calm down…calm down!"
Arms wrapped around the frightened kouhai trying to soothe the shakes out of her with calm strokes as Azusa continued to hyperventilate. She couldn't get the image out of her head.
Yui dying and bleeding.
Yui's last breathe.
Yui dead.
It sounded so final.
And as Azusa reached out to take hold of the person cradling her she finally focused her eyes on who it was.
Yui.
She was alive, breathing, not hurt.
"A…A-ah…Y-Yui?" Azusa whimpered out, unaware of the tears streaming down her face as she looked up into the worried chocolate eyes.
"Azusa, it's okay…what happened? Why are you shaking so much?" Yui asked as she looked around for anything she could use to help the younger guitarist to calm down. She grabbed the cup of water near the lamp on the nightstand hand held it out to the still panicked girl. "Drink this, and take deep breaths…in through the nose out through the mouth."
After Azusa took three large gulps of water she began to take Yui's advice and slowly but surely the quakes rocking her body died down and she was finally able to breathe correctly.
Yui continued to rock her lover back and forth slowly, helping to soothe the shaken kouhai before she planted soft kisses along Azusa's face before pulling back to see even more tears then before and her lover's face was scrunched up in agony.
"Azusa?" Yui whispered worriedly as she pushed her forehead against the younger girl's. "Shh…it's okay…don't cry."
"Y-Yui…" Azusa whimpered out as she raised her hand and began to feel around Yui's side. Yui was a bit confused by what Azusa was doing and tilted her head slightly, but allowed Azusa to continue to map out the area with shaky hands before they wrapped around her tightly while Azusa buried her face into the fabric of her nightshirt. "I-It was…j-just a dream…y-you're okay…y-you're fine…"
"Oh…you had a nightmare?" Yui asked as she carefully picked Azusa up, bridal style, and laid her back down on the bed before getting into bed herself to just hold the still frightened girl close. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"You don't have to if you don't want to…but it may help get out those shakes…I've never seen you shake this much…what could it have been about?"
Azusa looked away and couldn't help herself as a broken sob escaped her shut lips. She didn't want to remember it, but images kept flashing through her mind every time she closed her eyes.
The pained look on Yui's face, the broken voice of pain, the blood.
Azusa unconsciously began to wipe her hands on the bedding, trying to get the imaginary blood off her hands before Yui's grabbed her own tightly, stopping the movement.
"Azusa…please tell me, it's scary seeing you act like this." Yui said softly as she brought those hands to her lips and began to kiss each knuckle slowly.
"I…I-I had a d-dream about you…"
"Why are you crying if…it was about me?" Yui asked naively, those innocent eyes searching pained hard eyes.
"B-Because…y-you…y-you w-were…" Azusa felt more tears slide down her cheeks as she closed her eyes tightly while yanking her hands away from Yui's to bury her face into the palms while sobs started to come more frequently.
"A-Ah, Azusa, don't cry…"
"Yui! You were dead!" Azusa cried out before she tossed her arms around her lover's shoulders and buried herself in the warm embrace, crying her heart out as Yui's eyes went wide with shock.
"You were dying, you got hurt….y-you died in my arms! I…I d-didn't ever want…I don't ever want to w-watch you…d-die." Azusa moaned out pitifully as she nuzzled her soaked face into the crook of Yui's neck as she felt those warm arms wrap around her tightly before nuzzling the side of her head slowly.
"Shh…it's okay…I'm not dead…calm down."
"N-No…I can't get the image out of my m-mind…Yui…there w-was so much…"
"Azusa…look at me." Yui said firmly as she pulled back from the distraught girl and cupped her cheeks before looking sadly into those now red eyes. "Look…I'm not hurt…I'm okay…I'm worried about you, but that's besides the point…" Yui said with a small smile as her thumbs continuously stroked away tears that escaped those garnet orbs. "Look…take my image in now…the one that is breathing…that's very much alive and not going anywhere…do you understand?" Yui asked as she searched those clouded and pained eyes.
"…B-But what i-if…"
"No Azusa…nothing will keep me away from you…do you understand? I'll be by your side for as long as you continue to breathe…" Yui admitted as she pulled the girl close and stroked up and down her back once more before kissing the side of her head. "My poor Azunyan…it's only a dream…I'm not going anywhere…I'm right here…still living…still yours."
Azusa felt her eyes close slowly they were in pain from how much she cried as she leaned into the warm embrace.
Yui was right. She wasn't hurt, wasn't dying, so different from the Yui in her dream. She tried valiantly to banish the images that still tried to torment her before she felt lips press against her own.
Take my image in now…the one that is breathing…that's very much alive and not going anywhere.
Azusa instantly pressed forward, kissing Yui desperately, hands clutching her shirt top tightly as they kissed over and over again, Yui comforting her lover with each deeper kiss. It wasn't much longer after that Azusa finally fell back asleep…
"Ne Azusa! Over here! This spot is perfect!" Yui called out from on top of a grassy hill. She was in a pretty sundress with a picnic basket as she ran towards a lovely blooming cherry tree.
Azusa found herself in a similar sundress that was blue instead of bright yellow and she smiled happily as she ran after the girl she loved.
Yui sat down the basket before holding out her arms as Azusa ran into them, the two of them wrapped in a warm loving embrace before laughing out as they fell to the soft grass below.
"Isn't this perfect? You can see all of Tokyo from up here." Yui said as she sat up with Azusa in her lap and looked out over the blue skies at the city miles off.
"It's beautiful…how did you ever find this spot?" Azusa asked as she wrapped her arms around Yui's shoulders, peppering her face with affectionate kisses.
"I dunno…but it's great isn't it! I'll bring us here every year, it'll be like a tradition!" Yui stated proudly as she returned those kisses before pushing her forehead against Azusa's. "Ne, Azusa?"
"Hmm?"
"I'll always be with you…so there'll be hundreds and hundreds of times we'll come out here…and each time…let's do something wonderful okay?"
"What is that suppose to mean Yui?...every day is wonderful with you…" Azusa whispered happily as she kissed Yui once more. "Thank you…for being you…Yui."
The brunette just smiled as she wind blew pleasantly passed them as they met in a passionate kiss.
Author Note: Okay, this may be short, but it was very much needed. I was feeling rather depressed about one of the newest chapters of a story I read a lot, and to get out my depression I had to write something that started out depressing but ends up being sweet. So forgive me if it's a bit messy, but it helped so much. ;A; *still shell-shocked*
EDIT: lulz there were tons of blaring spelling mistakes so I fixed them! It was bugging me...also goes to show ya, you shouldn't write when emotional. XD
