Gotta put some trigger warnings on this one. Death and blood.
Inspiration behind this one was Crash by Sum 41. I recommend you listen to it while reading this. It really brings out the emotions. The woman mentioned in this can be whoever you want. No name or features are mentioned. I wrote it with a few specific women in mind, but you can imagine whoever you want.
"Seto? Seto, stay with me. Don't you dare close your eyes."
The brunet's vision blurred in and out as he tried to focus on the woman's face, and he felt his thought processes slowing down. But as the sounds of chaos around him became muted as if they'd been stuck behind a glass wall, he gazed up at her, feeling her arms around him. He knew it. He was going to die. This was it. He had to give her a proper goodbye. So he drew in a breath, knowing what he needed to say.
"I need you to listen to me." He whispered, not finding the strength to gain anymore volume than that. "We both know how this is going to end, so I need you to remember what I say, right now."
Tears began to fall from her eyes, and she shook her head. "No. No, you're going to make it. We'll-"
"Stop. No crying." He watched her nod her head, and he continued. "This isn't how I wanted it to end. There may have been a time when I wanted a short life. I don't now, because of you, but I guess this fate was meant for me." He took in a ragged breath as he began to see spots. He needed to get on with it, and after a sigh, he kept speaking. "I want to stay with you. To grow old with you. But now I see that it's not going to happen."
He saw tears forming in her eyes again, and he shook his head, but didn't respond to it. He just continued with his farewell words, his voice growing even quieter. "I know you'll find a way to keep living. But you'll have to be strong. You can't dwell on my memory. You have to move on."
"I can't do that." The tears streamed down her face anyway. "I can't."
"You have to." He responded, not allowing her to speak any further. "I refuse to hold you back. It's over now, and as much as I don't want to say goodbye... it's time."
The sound of ambulances approaching grew louder and they stopped near by. The woman looked up, a spark of hope in her eyes as she looked back at him. "No, Seto. You're going to live. The ambulances are here; you're going to be fine."
He didn't even have the strength to swallow. But he gave her a weak, regretful smile. "It's too late, love. I can't fight anymore... Just remember... you mean everything to me, and I love you. I'm so sorry... for everything..." His words were barely audible as he closed his eyes, and when that last breath left his lungs, he didn't draw in another.
The next few minutes were desperate as the paramedics finally reached the pair. They tore the woman away from him, who was screaming pleas for him to come back. As hard as they tried, rescusitation was impossible. He'd lost too much blood, and it was too late to do anything.
Seto Kaiba was announced dead on the scene, and when they drew the sheet over him, that intersection of Domino was darkened forever.
