I hummed happily as the radio played, I was cooking breakfast, I was the only one up so far. I was cooking pancakes again. It was beginning to become a tradition. A pair of arms wrapped around my waist.
"Mornin' Gen!" I said cheerfully. He made a kind of noise and rested his chin on my shoulder.
"Yer up early." He said yawning. I shrugged with me free shoulder.
"Ev'rybody's gotta eat breakfast." I replied. "I figgered that I'd get an early start on it."
"Mm." He yawned, spreading his mouth big and wide. "Ain't heard a peep frum Ri an' Aono's room." He said looking in the direction of their door. "Wonder why huh?" he grinned suggestively and wiggled his eyebrows.
"Gen stop thinkin' like a perv." I said shaking my head. "Aono'd never do sumthin' like that." (A/N: Are you so sure about that Kouji noda?? ^,^) We stayed silent for a little while, just standing there with his arms around my waist while I cooked. When the radio started playing a new song, Gen perked up slightly. I kind of recognized it, I heard it a lot before.
"I like this song." Said Gen smiling slightly. The next statement was said slowly, like he was embarrassed or something. "I-it reminds me of you...a-a- an' me..." I felt my cheeks get as hot as his probably were.
"O-oh." Was all I could say. When the words started, Gen started to sing along, very, quietly though, which was a big surprise because Gen never sings hardly. (A/N: 'Nother mini disclamer noda: I don't own P.O.D. ..... And also na noda...I changed it around again na noda...jus' to make it more romantic!)
"//Everyday is a new day I'm thankful for every breath I take. I won't take it for granted So I learn from my mistakes.//"
Mistakes. Wow, have we made a lot of those. I thought as he rocked the two of us from side to side.
"//It's beyond my control, sometimes it's best to let go Whatever happens in this lifetime. So I trust in love, You have given me peace of mind.//"
I felt my cheeks get hotter. Did he really mean all of this?
"//I, I feel so Alive, for the very first time. I can't deny you. I feel so Alive. I, I feel so Alive, for the very first time. And I think I can fly!//"
He can't mean what he saying. My mind jabbered. He couldn't mean this.
"//Sunshine upon my face, A new song for me to sing. Tell the world how I feel inside, Even though it might cost me everything.//
I kept telling myself that this isn't real. Gen never says- -much less sings anything like this. Ever.
"//Now that I know, It's all beyond my control This I could never turn my back away. And now that I see you, I could never look away.//" ~Wheeee! This is jus' like on T.V! ~ My insides screamed. My brain told my insides to shut up. During the instrumental he kept kissing my neck and it was *so* sweet and *SO* romantic and I don't care *what* my brain says, it *was* just like on T.V.!
"//And now that I know you I could never turn my back away, And now that I see you I could never look away...//"
His voice was shaking slightly for a reason or another. Was he nervous?
"//And now that I know you I could never turn my back away, And now that I see you... I'll love you no matter what they say! //"
Love? Love. LOVE!!! Wow!!! He actually said it!! Or sung it...but, whatever! He loves me! Wow!! Could he mean it? Did he mean it? He said this song reminded him of us. He loves me! (A/N: One of us needs to switch to decaf Kouji an' it ain't me noda.)
"//I, I feel so Alive, for the very first time, I can't deny you, I feel so Alive. I, I feel so Alive, for the very first time. And I think I can fly! And I think I can fly! And I think I can fly!//"
The song was over so quickly. We both just kind of stood there for a minute.
"I-I-I...Kouji, I uhm..." If it was possible that anything in the world was redder than Gen's hair, it would definitely be his face. "...love you..." the last two words were mumbled and said quickly. I stood there in shock. He sang it and now he said it! Wow!!! He was looking at me, waiting for an answer. He looked a little bit disappointed when I didn't give him one. I grinned slowly. Without even thinking about it, I pretty much glomped on him, knocking both of us into a counter.
"I love you too Gen." I replied. He stared at me for a second and blinked a few times. Then he smiled, and not the big goofy grin that he usually wears either. A real smile. He hugged me. Kissed me. My knees are going to give out. I know it. The pancakes were burning now but I didn't care. This was so great! As he was kissing me I could vaguely hear coughing, that's not what made us jump apart. What made us jump apart was a shout. Before I knew what was happening, Aono was in the doorway with a bundle of blue in his hands. Blue and....red. I cried out when I realized what the bundle was.
"We have to get Ri to the hospital now!!" Aono's voice was bordered on the edge of hysteria.
"Wh-what's wrong wi' him?" Genrou stammered.
"I don't *KNOW* he just started coughing up blood okay?" Ri looked scary. I'll be honest: he looked freaky. His eyes were rolling around in his head trying to focus on something. A hand fumbled up and grasped Aono's shoulder.
"I-I..." he started coughing again. Blood spurted from his mouth, spattering on Aono's chest and face. Some of it got on mine too. I screamed. That's all I can remember, I screamed. Then we were in the car. That's the next thing I remembered. Being in the car. Ri was coughing blood again. Bright red blood. That meant it was straight from his artery. He was dying.
"God, hold on Ri, okay? Hold on." Aono pleaded with him, running fingers over what I'm sure was an icy cheek.
"Aono, Aono..." The name slipped again and again from the blood encrusted lips. He repeated it over and over. His eyes suddenly widened. "Can't see you...stay..." he whimpered.
"Genrou hurry!" Aono pleaded.
"I'm goin' as fast as I can, we're almost there awright?" Genrou ran another red light, we were at the hospital in seconds, I'm serious, it was like I blinked and we were there.
"This can't happen." I whispered as I watched the attendants hoist Ri up on to a stretcher. "I ain't real." I murmured as Aono stood in the doorway looking even more lost and sad than the day I first saw him. "I'm dreamin'...I gotta be." I told myself as I buried my face in Genrou's shoulder. "I'm dreamin' ain't I Gen?"
"Kou, I hop we're both dreamin'..." He replied as the doors closed. He tree of us were left alone, Gen holding me and Aono standing off to the side in that bleak white room where death was waiting, perched and smiling on the rafters.
