Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation or anythin' that goes with it- although sometimes I wish I did.
Author's note:I got this idea from reading a poem off this here webpage(actually,I had this planned a long time ago-the poem gave me motivation.Yeah.Thats it.) So thanks to whomever did that. It was a great poem!
Oh! and one more thing-the title is inspired by an Erasure song! It's a line from their Spiralling song. Yes,thats my secret. I listen to Erasure while I write. it doesn't have to be like tha-at...(Get it?)
Pairings:Since this is pretty much all a tragedy story, I don't think there will be any. Also I'm flaky towards that sort of thing. So-sorry!
You Give Me the Courage to Die-Chapter 6-A Slight Chance
The words echoed through Yuki's head. Uesugi san, this man isn't dead. This is too good to be true he said to himself. Wouldn't I have known…?
"I know what you're thinking Uesugi-san. I've seen this happen a lot. Let me start by asking you a question."
"What?" Yuki was curious, as well happy. Instead of blood, his face was covered with tears.
"Did you go to medical school?"
"N-no." Eiri was taken aback at this question.
"Do you know how to perform heart surgery?"
"No."
"Any surgeries at all?"
"No, but I…I can fix cuts and scratches…"
"Doctoring a cut isn't good enough. Your problem is that you think you should've known if he was alive, right?"
Yuki looked away, embarrassed. "Yes."
"You're damned lucky you brought him here in time. Another hour and he would've bled to death."
"So…so he really is alive? But he's not breathing!"
"Oh he's breathing all right, just very faintly. It's normal not to notice though."
"Oh…" Eiri ran over to the table and hugged Shuichi tight. "I'm so glad…you're okay…" Yuki paused and looked at the nurse, then at the doctor. "He is going to be okay, isn't he?"
The doctor turned from his gaze. "There is a very slight chance that he may live."
"And how do we ensure that this 'slight chance' can become a reality?" Yuki asked the doctor.
"Well, first off, he's going to need some blood transfusions."
"Well get to it then! If I have to become poor and hungry for this kid to live, I WILL!" Yuki turned to Shuichi's colorless face and whispered. " I'm serious. I'll do anything to bring you back."
I would like to thank (again) everyone who made reviews! I will keep going until this story is over!(I don't know when that may happen.) Thank you for giving me something to go on.Please keep reading, new chapter usually come quite quickly...
So I went with the hope line. I let him live. Since most of the reviewers said let him live...I think it was nice, although I seriously was going to let him die!
Again, thankyouthank you thank you!
