Ahoy! I'm back! I'm sorry for a whole two-month silence. I'm sorry! It's just... ((thinks of a valid excuse)) Um... ((sighs, defeated)) I can't think of any! ;p It's the time!

Anyways, this is my last chapter. Which is also the reason why I'm sad. I'm not so sure why, though. Anyways, I want to tell you for the last time, that Touya and Yukito are not mine. I'm just borrowing them from their owner, of course.
On with the recap! Then the story, at last!
Recap:
The darkness. It's so relaxing... Maybe, I should just let go...
He let his arm fall recklessly and said heaving a sigh every now and then, "I— I'm sorry, To-ya. I'm just... so... tired..."
I want to go to sleep. Sleep... and never wake up...
Chapter 6
I Love You
"Okay, Yuki... Rest. Just rest, okay? I'm going to get you to the hospital... And we're going to see each other again... Okay? Just— rest." Touya said softly and quite pleadingly.
Rest... He just wants me to rest... Okay, To-ya... For you... I'll fight Death...
Yukito smiled faintly then allowed the darkness to overwhelm him completely.
He was inside a vast white surrounding.
There was nothing and nobody aside from his own lone self.
There were no doors.
No windows.
No way to get out.
Wait, how did I get in?
Where am I?
Why am I here?
What am I doing here?
What...
...happened?
So many questions...
But there was no one to ask to.
---
There was a whisper.
Yukito...
It was calling his name.
Yukito...
It was so soft, so gentle.
He followed the voice.
Yukito, come...
It was coming from an open room.
How did the room get there?
He didn't mind.
He was now in front of the being that called him.
So beautiful...
No. It is so magnificent...
No. There are no words appropriate for its splendor.
"..."
He wanted to say something...
Wanted to ask his questions...
But he couldn't speak.
In as much as he wanted to, he just couldn't speak.
His mouth wouldn't move, his throat would produce no sound...
He stood there, stunned.
Its arms were now outstretched.
Come with me...
Waiting for him to reach it.
What a marvelous creature...
Yuki...
What was that?
To-ya?
I thought I heard To-ya call my name...
Yuki...
There! It is much louder.
He looked over his shoulder.
A swirl of silvery smoke came out of nowhere.
Dancing and twisting into an obscure image.
Until the image finally cleared to be...
Me! That's me!
What's going on?
He could see from the image that he was lying on a bed.
Sleeping, I guess.
And Touya was beside him.
Touya was holding his hand passionately.
Yuki. Wake up...
He looked again at the being in front him.
He could see it was smiling.
He let out a sigh of awe.
I feel so glad... So contented.
Come with me, now...
It was encouraging him to come.
So mesmerizing...
He looked again over his shoulder.
To-ya...
Wait! What was that?
He couldn't believe his eyes!
Touya. He was actually... crying.
For him.
Please don't go...
No... This can't be happening.
He was fully facing the image now, distracted.
His backside on the waiting being.
To-ya...
Come with me, Yukito...
No. It is unfair of me to have my time of my life here while To-ya...
To-ya. He's...
He's...
Crying. Depressed. Desperate. Forlorn. Disheartened.
I can't leave him like that.
It is now that I want to be with him the most.
Yuki, please...
He needs me.
He stepped closer to the image and away from the glorious creature.
I need him.
All because, I love him.
Wake up...
Yukito woke up and found himself lying on a hospital bed.
What happened?
Was that a dream?
It felt so real...
He groaned as the brightness of the room caught his eyes unguarded.
Touya, sleeping with his head on the bedside, abruptly woke up from the slight sound of his patient.
Yukito instinctively moved to sit up as he recognized the presence of Touya beside him, but only winced as the sudden movement caused a brief stab of pain.
"Yuki!"
The taller man quickly supported the silver-haired, gently laying him again on the bed.
"Yuki, don't move too much. You haven't fully recovered yet." Touya said anxiously.
"Good morning too, To-ya." he replied wryly. I'm so tired. I want to sleep again. But I'm with Touya now... Oh, I missed him so much! Perhaps, sleep will be best later...
"Sorry, I was just worried... So, how are you feeling?" he asked excitedly quickly changing the mood.
"Never felt better! You've stayed here the whole night?"
"No. Just the whole time..."
The two broke into laughs and no sign of any tension could be seen.
"Yuki, I want to tell you something." Touya began cheerfully.
Then, as he got the complete attention of Yukito, he turned serious and continued.
"Yuki, I..."
"To—"
"Yuki." Touya cut gently. "Please, listen to me first. I want to tell you this, now. I won't let this opportunity pass through me again."
Touya cleared his throat before he started to speak. I'm sure now. I will start and end this thing.
"Yuki, I... I was so scared. I thought, I thought, I'll never see you again..."
Yukito remained silent, listening carefully, stunned with what his friend was saying.
"I felt guilty. Felt helpless. Felt defeated. I've felt everything!"
Touya paused as if forming his words precisely, then continued without hesitation, "I thought you're gonna leave me, alone, with nothing but pain... "
"I thought you're gonna give up and won't fight to make it through... when I haven't told you what I felt!"
"I thought it was already too late and that I already lost all my chances, of saying to you, what I feel, what I am feeling, and what I will feel forever."
"Yuki, I... I..." Don't stammer! I MUST say this NOW!
"I love you Yuki... You're the best that had happened to me. I want to tell you all that I feel every time I'm with you, but I will take years and decades and centuries to finish. You are just perfect. Yuki, I want to be with you, always. I need you. I love you."
Touya finally stopped and looked at Yukito intently.
Yukito, on the other hand, was somehow torn in between shock and joy. Oh my God! He said it! He just said it! What should I do? What should I say? Oh no! I knew he would somehow say that he loves me, but what I didn't know is... what I'm gonna tell! I...
Yukito let out his breath he didn't noticed he held, then said brokenly, "I— To-ya... I love you too! I— don't know what else to say! I—"
Touya couldn't hold back his smile as he finally heard the sweetest sentence he had been anticipating to hear for ages.
"...You don't have to say anything else..." Touya said before slowly advancing, taking Yukito into a warm, tender kiss that last, for what seemed like forever....

A/N: Huhuhuhu... :'c ((I'm crying, if you didn't notice)) Oh no! I finished my story!!! But! There's a BUT! I am planning on writing a story again... If it's okay with you, guys...
Anyway, I want to thank with all my heart... Shinigami! You are such a great friend!
Now then, I really was having so much difficulty in writing that 'confession' thingy... As if I had comprehension on those things! Well, did you like it? Huh? Huh? I'm sorry if it's amateurish. It's just because this is the first time I wrote a story. This is the first time I wrote a shounen-ai fiction. And this is the first time I ever posted a story... What a start, eh?
I just hope you liked it... And review please. So that I may know if you want me to write again or not. It's all based from you, readers...
And for those who read this... Please, have a heart. Give a review. It's like a salary given to a hard-working employee. It makes the employee feel that his job was good. Or like a star given by the teacher to her diligent student. It makes the student study more. Get it? Wish you tell me what you think... Thank you! I love you all!
Peace!
