28. Sorrow.
He would never forget.
Never forget his smile, or his laugh, sweet or arrogant depending on the situation. Never forget his teasing eyes or his wild hair that tickled his nose at night. Never forget his cocky attitude or his harebrained schemes. His intelligent remarks or his sassy comebacks. Never forget Him. His Lover.
She would never forget.
Would never forget his pranks, his attempts to keep from going insane. The smell of cigarettes that hung around him like a shadow, making all of them wrinkle their noses. The way he would smile just before he ducked into an air vent to escape. Never forget her Sempai.
He could not forget.
The small boy he'd found in the streets, nurtured and molded into the person he was. The one who dragged him back to his humanity, kicking and screaming. He would never, ever forget the spark of light that he'd brought into all their lives.
And as he lay there on that stark white bed, all three of them promised him, that he would not be left to sorrow again.

This just sorta…happened. I didn't plan on it, and I think I like it. Just a study of Reno as he's in the hospital close to death or something. He pulls through of course…..just not without that heart wrenching 'oh no'.
