Chapter 25: Of Farewells and Apology
It has been months since Chiharu and Katsuki's confrontation as well as Eijirou's declaration to Izuku. The ash-blonde really worked hard in balancing his studies and his furious training for four months to fulfill his promise that he'll dominate UA. As for Izuku and Eijirou, it has been awkward for the two of them when they meet each other unbeknownst to Chiharu. Though, the curly-green haired guy tried to visit her on time despite his tight schedule with his secret training with All Might plus his cruel struggle with his studies. Fortunately, the trio graduated on time including Chiharu, whom Shota suggested to be taught within the premises of the hospital until their graduation; even if she wasn't able to take a step within her school and graduated by their sides. With all those busy days passing by in a blink of an eye, the night before the entrance exam at the same time her scheduled surgery came.
The night came whispering sweet nothings, luring heat from tired muscles until they could rest no more. It caressed their skin until it stole the pink blush and replaced it with blue. Above was the beauty of the stars, the clear night allowing the meagre heat of the day to leave unhindered. The only notion of brightness came from a full moon, and even her light was a chilled silver beam.
"Tomorrow will be my surgery, Eraserhead..." She said, nearly clutching her chest warily, "Ahhh, I'm so nervous!"
"You'll do fine. Just relax." He said, then added, "I've been wanting to tell you but Chiharu, I'm your guardian, right? So, stop being formal to me. You can call me anything other than my hero name."
A grin spread over Chiharu's face, wide and open, showing her over-whitened teeth, "Really? I'm not really used to it... Eraserhead's name is Aizawa Shota, right? It's written in the consent form."
"Yes, yes."
"Well then," A soft smile stretched to her lips, her eyes flickering and dancing throughout the whole scenery as the next few words she utters are like music to his ears, "Sho...chan? How's that?"
As he watched the moon slowly ascend into the night sky through the parted curtains I watched it's soft, ivory light shimmer through the space of my curtains, illuminating her petrol-blue strands and sparkling purple orbs. The moonlight was a diffuse ocean above them, lessening the inky blackness of the night, but not so bright as to dull the stars that speckled and glittered in the heavens above. At this very moment, the woman that Shota really wanted to see know reflected within his eyes. Instead of seeing Chiharu, Taira appeared within his line of sight which made his heart beat fast. The tender eyes he always looked upon when they are in high school. The soft smile that caresses his heart heart all the time that he sees that. Everything went back to that time.
Taira...?
But the sudden call of Chiharu made him snap back to the bitter reality that Taira is no longer with him. The sudden void within his chest return back to him, screeching and echoing all throughout his minds. The guilt that he is trying to bury from his thoughts took over him.
"But I also call Todoroki-san 'Sho-chan' so I have to change it to something cute like 'Todo-chan' or Todocchi..." She mumbled to herself, and upon hearing that familiar name made him question her, "Todoroki? Do you know him?"
"Y-Yes? W-Why?"
"Did you meet him?"
"Yes, he bought me." Her straight and blunt words caused him to widen his eyes in surprise.
"What?!"
"I-I mean," She pauses, trying to clear out the misunderstanding she just caused with her own words, "There's an auction in our school then he coincidentally bought me for a dance, that's all."
"The next time he tells you about something negative, don't ever believe in him."
"A-Alright, Sho-chan!"
The sudden 'nickname' brought memories to him that he didn't notice how he frowns by her words. It wasn't that he is unhappy, he just misses how the girl he loved calls him like that.
"A-Ah, are you unhappy that I call you Sho-chan?! S-Sorry!" Clasping her hands together, she could feel the regret that she even mentioned that name because for some reasons she felt that that nickname holds something dear to him.
"It's alright, I'm used to it that's what your mother calls me." He deadpanned, hiding away all the feelings he has for her mother. Of course, he knows that it's bad for him to showcase to her that he still likes her in front of her. It felt like he is betraying his best friend, Ryuuji, for doing that act. He will be bringing these feelings with him until he dies.
"Then, I won't."
"Huh?" He gasps, gazing upon her strong fiery purple orbs.
"That's what Mom calls you, right?" She mumbled, then continued, "I should have an exclusive one for me. After all, that nickname seems to be so precious to you."
"No, it's alright. It's the only memory I have with her, might as well have someone use it again." He tried to reassure her, which made her nod in his consent. Suddenly, she exhaled heavily as she began to fully gaze upon the multitude amount of stars twinkling within the night sky, " Tomorrow, I will be able to have the chance to walk again, huh? Do you think I will be able to survive? Even though you know there are only 40% chances of survival... I didn't even tell Katsuki that I am fighting a losing battle but still you trusted me..."
"It's simple." He blurted out, making her turn towards his confident tone, "You are that stubborn guy's daughter. From the start, you are fighting a losing battle but still, even if you are aware of it, you kept on struggling and eventually winning the battle."
Her mouth slowly went wide upon his choice of words. Shota sighed heavily, bending forward to reach up to her head and rub it gently, "You survived the villain attack with 0% chances of living. Then, again, you will survive this surgery with 100% chances of living. Ryuuji's still not welcoming you up there so you better win this battle. After all, we will still find your mother."
The heartwarming encouragement he gave her somehow filled her the energy she needed to pounce frowning anxious heart. A smile stained up her lips, replying to him, "Thank you, Sho-chan! I'm glad that you're my guardian."
He only nodded to her response, signaling her that it's bed time and she needs the energy for her surgery. Tucking her into her warm mattress, as he helps her to move under her blanket for a comfortable position, Chiharu bids him a sweet Good Night before dozing off. Then, Shota proceeds to sit within a chair by her side and murmured, "No one's going to leave."
Today the sunlight conjured the most brilliant of mosaics, reflecting from each leaf and wisp of cloud. It was as if there was a pure joy in the light, as if it were happy to create art where it shone, warm and steady. It was as the smiles of friends, as fresh rain after summer sun, something to quench and soothe all at once.
"You don't really have to come and wait until my surgery! It takes a ton of hours, you know. It's boring!"
Shota hissed, glaring down to her supposedly 'daughter' for pushing him away, "I don't care as your guardian I have to watch over you."
However, Chiharu tried to stop him from spending time with her. She gets that Shota is worried about her, but the Principal needed him right now for their upcoming students. Plus, she wants someone to watch over her friends while she's gone, "You have to watch over Katsuki, Izu-chan and Eiji's exams! Plus, I've been getting your work hours because of me. The principal requests you to be there right? You can come midway!"
Shota understands her enough. Though, he is torn between his decision between dropping by and being there for her surgery. Thinking twice about his answer finally he replied with a solid conclusion,"Ugh, fine. But, I'll only drop by for some potential candidates afterwards. You have your smartphone right? Tell me when you're about to undergo the surgery. I have to go." Rolling his eyes over her for the umpteenth time, he left the room swiftly. As soon as she heard the door close, she immediately pulled out her smartphone and messages her favorite ash-blond.
[ Haru || 7: 10 ]
Good Morning Mr. Explodo~
Ugh
Shouldn't you be awake already?
Exams starts at 8:00, right?
[ Jerk || 7: 13]
I. AM. AWAKE.
So stop fucking texting me early in the morning
I'm on my fucking way to UA
Now get rest
Dumbass
[ Haru || 7:15 ]
You don't really have to add the last part, geez
Where's Izu-chan
Aren't you supposed to act like good friends and go to UA together?
[ Jerk || 7: 16 ]
I'm not good fucking friends with that shit
Who gave you that idea?
[ Haru || 7:17 ]
I have my eyes on you even if I'm not there
MR. BAKUGO KATSUKI 눈_눈
[ Jerk || 7:17 ]
I'm not his fucking mom to know his whereabouts
I can see the shit by the entrance
Happy now?
[ Haru || 7: 18]
Yesssss
[ Jerk || 7:18 ]
I'm entering the main hall now
Stop fucking texting
[ Haru || 7:19]
Ahhh wait wait
Before anything else
[ Jerk || 7:19]
What?
Hurry the fuck up
Suddenly, his phone vibrated, signaling that there's an incoming call from the girl he's chatting for a couple of minutes. Rolling his eyes in complete annoyance, he step back from the entrance of the main hall and answered the call from the petite young lad.
"What?" He deadpanned, waiting for the other line to answer back.
"Nothing much."
"What the fucking hell does that even mean? I'm hanging up, good fucking bye!" He's about to let his fingers dance through his phone to hang up to her 'unreasonable call' when Chiharu immediately spoke up in hurry.
"A-Ah, w-wait! W-Wait! Don't hang up!"
"What now?!" He angrily argues, scowling at every student entering the hall.
"I-I just..."
"Hurry the fuck up!"
"I just wanted to hear your voice for some reasons."
Immediately, in a speed of light, his irritation towards her depleted in a matter of seconds. He couldn't find the next words he should spout out because of her 'nonsense'; though maybe this is a good time to make himself relax for the exam. He couldn't bring himself to scold at her for wasting his precious time when the hammering of his heart is too visible for him to feel. His cheeks suddenly turned red, refusing to let himself get swallowed by all the pent-up meaningless feelings his chest is setting upon.
"Do your best in your exam. Remember, you have to become number one in UA, right? So hurry up and dominate UA then come back to me, stupid."
"Yeah, I will. Don't worry about me, idiot. Worry about your fucking self, you have a surgery to 'dominate' as well, right?" A small smirk suddenly pave a way across his lips, as if he can see how she chuckles and smiles upon his words. At the same time she cheers for him, he should be returning the favor as well since her surgery is no joke. Admittedly, he is anxious about the whole ordeal, but it happens to stop when Chiharu continuously reminds him that she'll never leave him alone and win.
"I will, DAD~"
"Don't you fucking call me 'Dad', shithead!"
"Well, I think I've caused you enough trouble. Do your best! I have to hang up! B-"
"Wait," He halted her farewell for the last second, making her attentively listen to his next thoughts.
"Hm? What is it?"
"Don't leave me the fuck alone."
"I won't die." She paused, inhaling sharply on the other side of the line, "After all, you have to build a castle for me for me, right? My king~"
"W-What the fucking-"
"Bye, Katsuki!
As the petrol-blue haired girl hanged up her phone, Katsuki exhaled deeply on his pace. The call from the pesky idiot somehow got him rejuvenated to get his shit straight and dominate the whole entrance exam. After all, he needs to get stronger in order to become the best and return to her.
Haru is fighting as well. I have to give everything to this shit. After all, as she have said, I will fucking build a huge-ass castle for her.
Chiharu giggled in her hospital bed, hovering her fingers to the screen to make another chat for Izuku. Heaving a deep sigh, she tried to calm her raging heart that is about to explode in a matter of seconds. Just thinking about the surgery did made a number to her emotions; flooding her different kinds of doubts crippling to her mind.
You will die.
You won't become a hero.
You'll leave.
You can't do it.
Weak!
Frail!
Fragile!
"Chiharu-chan!"
Her sudden wave of anxiousness came into a halt when someone called her out of nowhere. Snapping herself away from those eerily thoughts, she turned her attention to the familiar black-haired guy with red eyes; screaming determination and manliness. It was Eijirou and as if he is a good ol' ghost, her eyes broadened in surprise.
"E-Eiji, what are you doing here? Exams starts at 8:00AM, right?! W-Why?!" She stammered by seeing his presence. Though, she's thankful that there's someone who visited her, rather who took the risk to see her, but this is crazy for her.
"I have to wish you luck before the surgery!" He smiles at her, "After all before I go to an all-out battle, I need to see my charm."
"H-Huh?! Did you left your charm within my room? You should have just texted me instead of going all over the way here." She began to squirm within her seat, trying to find anything similar to what he have said. Instead, Eijirou giggled by her attitude, making her snap in his direction and scowled at him bitterly. However, her attempted scowl didn't faze the guy at all but instead broadened his smile more at her.
"W-What's so funny!?" Pouting at his echoing laughter all over the room, finally Eijirou stopped and corrected her mistake, "It's you." Then he added with his sunshine smile, "My charm is you, Chiharu-chan." There was something about the way he smiled; the way butterflies seemed to escape from the pit of her stomach and the way the sun had somehow toppled down from the sky and made a home right there in her heart. He had the kind of smile that made her feel happy to be alive and just that little bit more human. For a split second, the happiness within her is replaced by guilt.
It's because her charm is not Eijirou.
"Here," He brought out a knitted a small brown bear, giving it to her warm palms, "I'm not there to cheer for the success of your surgery but with this little guy, maybe, he can guide you all throughout the surgery."
"I don't have anything for you. Sorry. I will just e-mail and call you for a good luck b-but..." She paused, murmuring her last few words, "You're here..."
"You don't need to feel sorry, Chiharu-chan. I wanted to see you. It's my choice. Plus, I get a little bit excited when I tried to knit and stayed up all night." He scratches the back of his hair, does signaling Chiharu the band aids wrapped within his hands. This is just too much for her to take, Eijirou is too sweet for her and she felt like she'll have cavities for his actions. Biting her lip in frustration because she wasn't able to give something for the sweet guy over here, she thought of something in exchange for his kind act, "Eiji, in exchange with this cute bear, I'll do anything to give you some charm? Since you said that I'm your charm?"
"Really? Then..." He hummed and thought of anything he wanted right at this moment, and felt a tiny light bulb lightened up his clouded mind, "Close your eyes!"
"O-Okay..." She slowly closed her eyes, not bothering to sneak a peek because she trusts the guy in front of her.
Eijirou's smiling face faded into a serious one. Observing the pale features of Chiharu as she waited for what he'll do to her, his eyes glanced over her hands and intertwined his fingers with hers. His surprising action sends a wave of warmth to her cheeks, making her squeak softly from what he did. It's just she's not used to him at all. She can do all sorts of cuddles with her best friends; Katsuki and Izuku but intertwining hands with Eijirou did give her a number. A heavy blush crippled within her cheeks, feeling the hammering of her chest continuously. Nevertheless, she remains her eyes shut.
"Chiharu-chan, are you listening?"
"Y-Yes."
"Thank you for making me realize everything."
"Y-Ye-Yes!"
"It's because of you, I'll attend the exam later."
"Y-You don't h-have to... You even go all over the way j-just to s-see me."
She can't help but stutter in her words when she felt the warmth of his hands on top of her.
"If ever I passed the entrance exam and scored within the top 3... I have something important to tell you."
It looked serious.
But she answered, "Alright, I'll wait. Do your best."
"Don't open your eyes yet."
She obliged and kept still within her position.
Suddenly, Eijirou moves his head closer to her. She sits frozen, anticipating the next move he'll do. Abruptly, Eijirou's lips alight on her forehead like a dew freckled petal caught in a breeze, so soft and with the smallest hint of coolness. All it leaves is a little wet mark; a shallow pool of saliva on her forehead. Upon the small touch of his lips, she couldn't help but feel warmth spread through her limbs and her mind feels a pleasant buzz. Squeaking by his sudden move, she opened her eyes hurriedly and saw Eijirou covering his fiery red face with his cheeks. At first, she couldn't register what happened. She thought that maybe, something just touched her forehead, denying that it was a kiss from him. However, by the result of his actions, she already knew the answer. And upon reaching the conclusion, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded by the sequence of the scene; blushing red as a tomato.
Eijirou kissed her in the forehead.
"G-G-Good luck on the operation!" He swiftly retrieves his bag on the floor, dashing away from her room, leaving her completely shocked. For a few seconds, the nurse came in the room, and is surprised by the color of her cheeks.
"M-Ms. Aragaki, what happened to you!? Do you have a fever?"
Chiharu couldn't produce a reply at all as she is having a hard time processing everything.
W-What just happened?
"Achooo!" Katsuki sneezes all of a sudden. His chest tightened from the awry feeling within himself. Did something happened to Chiharu while he is gone or is he just exaggerating things? Needlessly, he traveled all through the mountains of chairs to find his seat number. Finally, after looking over his number, he spotted his original seat but instead of being relieved that he is done with all the bullshit; he didn't. Now that, he is seated with the familiar curly-green haired guy beside him. And that only he founds out that this arrangement is according to their respective schools. Scowling and grumbling to this fuck up situation, he has no choice but to seat beside the scrawny teen and get this over with. His eyes glance over Izuku's belongings seating at the top of the chair beside him which made him curious.
"Put your fucking belongings within the floor, Deku." Katsuki hissed like a venomous snake. The All-for-One user hitched his breath, replying, "N-No one's seating here. P-Plus, I made this seat vacant for Chi-chan."
"Haru?" He asked, "Did your dumbass brain consumed you whole already? We fucking know she's not taking the entrance exam."
"She is." Izuku shot back, "S-She passed the form earlier before us. Though, h-her guardian requested not to make it null though. So that, it was as if she's here, right? Taking the test with us."
For a moment, he hated to admit it, but he agreed with the idea of Izuku. Plus, it would feel like they are making their dreams together. Although, it was a bullshit imagination, he can't help but feel that he wanted to go along with it. Grabbing the paper within his pocket, he scowled at Izuku, as he flinched in return, "If that fucking seat is for Haru, then put your fucking shits on the floor. You're fucking disgracing her seat for goddamn sake!"
"Ah, y-yes!"
"Instead," He pushed the permit towards Izuku's chest and glared at him, "Put her fucking permit on that chair." A while ago, her guardian approached him and gave her permit to him. Although, for a few seconds, he tried to ask him the purpose of the null permit but shrugged it off as he didn't want to make another conversation with the asshole.
Izuku is a bit bewildered at his situation. Normally, Katsuki won't go and make some delusions about Chiharu seating beside them. But he guesses that the curly petrol-blue hair did have a special place in his chest. Though, he didn't bother to ask the spiky ash-blond and placed the permit on her chair.
"WELCOME EVERYONE TO MY LIVE SHOW!"
With that being said all eyes focused within the stage for instructions, however, Izuku couldn't help but smile dearly to himself. He couldn't hide the fact that he is so much joyful to what they've did. Although, it was for a few minutes and a bright imagination, it was as if they're taking the examination together as friends; just like before.
[ Aragaki Chiharu || 9:00 ]
I'm going to take the surgery now~
Sho-chan (≧◡≦)
[ Sho-chan (´｡• ? •｡`) || 9:00]
ok
be there after a few
[Aragaki Chiharu || 9:00]
You're too lazy to type some text messages
Send me your daily doze of love
DON'T LEAVE ME ON READ
HERY!
*HEY
WISH ME LUCK
GONNA TAKE THE SURGERY NOW
HMPF
See you later
Shota didn't mind the pile of messages she just texted him a while ago and rolled his eyes. He'll only stay for a few minutes and later on sprint towards the Operation room. For now, he has to inform the principal that he'll be leaving after viewing the candidates. For now, he really wishes that Chiharu will really survive the surgery.
"Aragaki-san, we will now inject the anesthesia to you so you may not feel anything while taking the operation." The doctor tried reassure her that everything is fine, soothing her with his calm tone.
Chiharu replied softly, "Okay..." Then, she added, "Hey, Doctor. Everything's going to be alright, right? I will survive this, right?"
The doctor answered, "We will try our best."
That vague answer nearly shakes her down to the core. One thing is for sure, everything is in her hands whether she'll be able to hang on or not. Slowly closing her eyes, she recollected all the positive messages she received up until this day and hopefully she'll still be able to hold onto those words.
Katsuki might be defeating tons of enemies now. Eiji might be striving to reach for the top as well. Izu-chan is fighting a good fight as well. They all have in common; pouring out all their bests in their respective fights. So, I should also put a good fight and win this surgery and may be a hero as well together with them...
Katsuki sighs, glaring upon the huge gray gate in front of the examiners.
Haru is currently struggling to make her dreams come true. In that while, I have to be the top in order to protect her from all the villains after her. I won't ever make the same mistake again... In this school, I will be number one then I will go back to her.
His train of thoughts stopped when everyone heard Present Mic giving the starting signal "...AAAAAAND START!" Eventually, he blasted himself towards the gate, propelling towards the sky without any care to the word. His crimson eyes searched for some robots to take on. There are tons of examiners running all over the place as well, searching for some robots. Well, he wouldn't let anyone take his victory, isn't he? From the corner of his eyes, he stumbled upon a huge robot and as fast as he could, he aimed his hands towards it, preparing for some explosion to his hands, "Get your shits straight motherfuckers, die!"
The doctor had the posture of a soldier. Every action he took was precise and purposeful. Everything is calm and silent as they exchanged glances in every equipment they'll need in order to make the surgery continue. Continuously, the heart monitor continued beeping, telling them that she is getting the hang of it.
Every second, every minute, Chiharu tried to fight for her life...
Just like, everyone else...
That's when the heart monitor rang, stirring the stillness of the room into alertness. It was decreasing.
120...
90...
Everyone immediately struck back from reality when they realized that the surgery only has 40% chances of living and it all depends on her immune system whether she'll get a hang on it or not.
"Doctor, what should we do?! She's losing blood!" One of the nurses called out the doctor, snapping him away from his deep thoughts. It was all sudden, he couldn't think where he is wrong or maybe Chiharu just can't. However, he tried to be calm despite the ringing of the heart monitor. He analyzed the chart for a few seconds and looked up with extreme serious etched in his face.
"For the mean time, fetch some blood bags." He ordered, and the nurses started to move their legs to retrieve the said bags. Then he asked his assistants, "Where's her family? Her guardian?"
"Sadly..."
"There's no one... for now..."
"Another one!" He shouted, aiming his hand towards the robot and exploded it, "Fucking die shitty bastard!"
Haru, you better get a hang on this! You're strong!
He swears on himself after the exam he will rush towards the hospital. He is dead worried about her. And he hated how he couldn't be beside her of all the times. So, he decided to pour all his anxieties towards the huge robots in his line of sight, hoping that it will clear all the thoughts in his mind. The more robots he destroyed, the more his adrenaline rushed.
Shota hurriedly staggered in his feet in the hospital hallway. Apparently, the current nurse in-charge sent a message to him, telling him that he has to go to the operation room. The raging thumping of his heart caged within his ribs didn't really helped him at all. He is worried sick about Chiharu. There's no way there will be another one in the Aragaki household to leave; he won't let that happen.
When he arrived in front of the operation room, he could still sense that the doctors are still trying their best in making the surgery work. He sat on the couch, rubbing his palms on his forehead, crossing his fingers that everything will be alright.
"Ryuuji... Don't take her away... Please..."
People seemed to notice that Katsuki went crazy, but they ignored him rapidly as an enormous robot approached. He kept his rough pace, he was so busy crashing and laughing that he didn't realize its presence.
Fortunately, many shouts made him calm himself down a bit, just the time needed to take a look at the big thing. "Just in time! I'm fucking getting bored with these spineless shits!" He commented out loud. Some people was running away from it after trying to punch it with no succeed, and others were that scared that they didn't move and stood there completely in awe, risking their own lives. But he didn't act the same.
His odd urge had the control of his body and obliged it to run to the robot. His grin widened at every step he approached.
"Hey! Where are you going!?" "
"That robot is no use!"
"Stay away!"
Most of them shouted to him, but he didn't hear them, he was only focused in his desire: killing it.
If he turns his tail and run, then what's the fucking point of aiming for the top? What's the fucking point if she's taking risks while he is here just blowing fucking robots? He needs to get this message across to her.
He runs faster than before and jumped straight up again, the robot tried to throw a punch, but he didn't let it touch him. He aims his palm towards the head of the robot, earning some ballistic explosion in his hands, grinning maniacally as he released a huge blow, "WIN THE FUCKING FIGHT, HARU!" He shouted, due to the amount of force he made while exploding the metallic head of the robot into pieces.
"THE TEST IS OVER!" Announced Present Mic, but nobody was paying him any attention. In fact, all eyes were directed to the victorious figure right in front of them. Katsuki's grin disappear, raising his fist up in the air. Though, right at that moment, he felt something different as a lone tear escaped from the corner of his eyes.
He wasn't sad or anything. In fact, he should be proud of himself that he defeated a huge ass robot. However, something is giving him a bad vibe. Then, as if on cue, from behind the gray smokes coming from the robot, there stood a familiar figure with curly petrol-blue hair with purple eyes. Everything in his whole surroundings began to blur like he is in an imaginary world with only the two of them.
She is pale, like the snow. Her lips were so white that it hasn't given much color. Her eyes has dark circles under her eyes. Chiharu gave him a soft smile across her lips, as she began, "Congratulations... Katsuki..."
"H-haru? Why? Isn't this only an imagination, r-right?!" He clarified, with his eyes widened in surprise.
But, Chiharu didn't answer, instead she flashed him that sad and worried smile which makes him feel that something is awfully wrong. This is just his imagination, right?! It's all in his goddamn head. He must be so tired that he imagines her right in front of him.
"H-Haru, what the fucking hell is happening!? Answer me!" He yelped in frustration but he received no answer at all from her. Abruptly, bit by bit, her body turns into transparent, fading slowly.
"Wait... Wait!" He pleaded, furrowing his eyebrows in complete distress, "Please... don't go..."
"Pester me to buy fucking anything to you!"
"..."
"Call me again anytime just to fucking kill time!"
"..."
"I don't fucking care whether you annoy me to death!"
"..."
"Just please, don't go! Don't fucking go!" The sobs were stifled at first as he attempted to hide his grief, then overcome by the wave of his emotions he would break down entirely, all his defenses washed away in those salty tears, "Don't fucking leave me behind, Haru!" He roared all throughout his surroundings but young lad just stood there in pure sadness. Tears began to trickle down her cheeks, gazing upon his crimson orbs, melancholy washing whole her being. His legs began to move, chasing after her disappearing body, reaching his hand towards her.
However, Chiharu lets out her last sob and smiled at him, "Farewell..." Then, everything disappeared, not a single strand of her is left within his vision.
This has to be a joke.
"You fucking promised! You fucking lied to me! You told me you are strong! You told me you won't die!" He gnashed his teeth heavily, spouting nonsense to the air, "You told me that I am your king that I have to build a fucking huge ass castle for you!"
Silence.
At that moment, he realized he is talking to no one but himself. Soft sobs continued to escaped to his lips furiously, "I can't... do... it... Haru... No, no, no, no, no! It's unfair, you know? I did my best, I kicked ass... Why?! Don't give me this bullshit!"
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Tear stream down his cheeks, his whole face is red, and he screams at the very top of his lungs. His upper body and shoulders wrack with every sob that forces their way out, chest rising and falling unevenly as he gasps for breath, and he squeezes his eyes shut, balling his hands into fists each time he throws his head back to let out a blood curdling scream.
"HARUU!"
Don't leave me alone...
"Her heart rate is decreasing! What should we do?"
"We really should gi-" The doctor's eyes spotted something in her that made all of them surprised. In the midst of the quietness and wariness, a lone tear escapes from one of her eyes, as if it spokes out her emotions all throughout the battle. They understood what that meant, and hopefully they'll manage to change that message into a hopeful one.
The pain that once burned like fire had faded away to an icy numbness. Black filled the edges of her vision and the only thing she could hear was her own heartbeat. Her breath came in ragged, shallow gasps.
They wanted to save her. If she could have, she would laughed. Surely they could tell that it was far to late for her to be saved, yet they were like children, naive to the darkness of the real world. The despair and suffering of the world that took everyone she loved away from her.
I would be joining you soon...
