Chapter Fourteen: Goodbye
Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock.
The sound of the ticking clock was the only sound inside the quiet room. The needle pointed at 12, while the sky outside was dark, with a big full moon shone upon the hospital.
Tokiya was awake. Syo had drift to a deep slumber few hours ago, but Tokiya still couldn't close his eyes. The certain redhead was still there, staring. He was expressionless, and his face was pale as sheet. Tokiya wanted to communicate with him, but he knew that it was useless, moreover he would wake Syo. So he decided to shut up and tried to fall asleep, but failing miserably.
Why…
Tokiya kept on asking that for these few hours.
He saw Otoya when everyone was assembled, and he could see him properly. His expression… his reddened cheeks and nose.
And his tears.
Don't cry, Tokiya really wanted to say that, but his throat felt dry. Realizing his uselessness, he couldn't help but cry, as he wasn't able to shout or talk.
He ended up worrying his mates again.
Tokiya sighed. Even Syo cried for him. He felt really bad now, but Tokiya couldn't do anything about that. This matter was too sensitive for him and it drove him crazy. He couldn't control himself and became so rash, all for Otoya.
But…
Seeing Syo cry wasn't any better than seeing Otoya cry. They worried for him, they took care of him, all when he tried to kill himself. For the sake of Otoya.
Tokiya sure felt guilty for the death of Otoya, and he was willing to sacrifice himself for it.
But if he killed himself, he would drag his friends to trouble. And he didn't want it.
Otoya… what do you really want?
Tokiya looked to the right, and saw a knife. Syo used it to peel apples for him. He stared at it, long.
"Stop that thought."
The voice distracted Tokiya, as he looked to the blonde.
"You're awake?"
"No, I sleep talk."
"…You could be sarcastic sometimes."
"I'm just goddamn irritated by your actions," Syo said, scratching his head. "Ah, my hat!"
"You look short either way, Syo."
"Shut up!"
Tokiya chuckled at that. "You never change."
"So do you."
Tokiya's smile faded. "Me?"
"Even though you aren't acting cool and stuff, you are still Tokiya," Syo said, facing his back to Tokiya. "My teammate. My friend. The one I cared for. So shut up and do not do anything silly."
Tokiya was surprised. He would never expect Syo to say such thing. Tokiya smiled… for the first time after Otoya's death.
"Thank you."
"You have to thank me by getting better and not to try that again."
"Yes."
"Good. Now I want to sleep again."
"You weren't sleeping the whole time, didn't you?"
"Shut up."
He must worry too much until he couldn't sleep, Tokiya thought.
"Thank you."
"You had said that."
"Yeah…" The dash of red.
Disappeared.
And Tokiya didn't regret it.
"Thank you, Otoya." Tokiya smiled once again. Taking the hospital's pencil and note, he wrote down something.
A lyric.
I used to see your smile everyday
Now I don't, and I'm lost in the darkness
Without your light I was helpless
And it was so dark, until I want to die
But then I forgot
Something that you have left me
The memories
With you
With everyone
And I want to treasure that
Even though I'm walking on
A pathless path
But you will always hold my hand
And everyone will guard my back
I have nothing to worry about
Since you are here… in my heart
You know…
I love you
So much
But I guess
This is goodbye
And the end for us…
THE END
It's not satisfying enough, huh? The ending, I mean. Maybe I'll write a sequel or an epilogue, depends on my mood. Anyway, please review! I want to improve the ending, and if there's anyone who got an idea to improve this, you are welcomed! Thank you for reviews, follows and favorites! I love you all soooo much! Kisses!
