"Good morning, Mr. Shindou." Said the Nurse as she gave a small bow.
"Good Morning, Katie." Shuichi chirped to the Nurse.
Shuichi gave a small wave before continuing down the hallway towards Yuki's room. It had been two weeks since Yuki had been put in the hospital. Everyday Shuichi came down to the hospital with a new flower he had picked out on his way here, hoping that, that might help Yuki.
Shuichi turned into Yuki's room and smiled happily, "Hey Yuki! I'm back!"
Yuki, who was still lying motionlessly on the bed, didn't respond. The only thing that responded was the silent beeps of the machines. Shuichi walked over to the chair that was set next to Yuki's bed and he sat down before placing the flower into a growing vase of colorful flowers. Shuichi smiled and looked over to the 'sleeping' Yuki, his heart pounding and started silently breaking again as he watched his lover just lay there lifelessly. Shuichi had promised himself not to cry while he was around Yuki, he didn't need Yuki to know…
Shuichi rubbed his throbbing cheek and said, "Your sister hit me again, claiming I was the one who did this to you." His right cheek was a bit swollen and discolored when Mika slapped him across the face while he left yesterday.
Shuichi moved his gaze to the floor, "But it wasn't my fault, was it Yuki?" He questioned, his throat swelling up again as he tried to hold back the tears. His voice was merely a whisper as he repeated, "Right, Yuki?"
The singer rubbed his throat, trying to loosen up the muscles. He knew if his throat did that he wouldn't be able to sing right for awhile. Shuichi tried to give his best smile, although his heart felt like it had leaped into his throat, and his muscles were preventing it to get any further. Shuichi drew a heavy breath and looked out the window, it was a beautiful day outside, and to think it would be nice to take a walk with Yuki.
Shuichi giggled to himself, "But first I'd of had to get him out of that damn study of his." Shuichi folded his hands on his lap as he looked back over to the blonde. Shuichi bit the inside of his cheek as he shifted in his seat a little, wishing Yuki would and could wake up.
The pink headed singer gave a yawn, he hadn't gotten a decent night of sleep for awhile. He was always curled up on Yuki's bed silently crying himself to sleep each night, sometimes not even sleeping at all.
"Oh Yuki.." Shuichi whispered bringing his knees up to his chest and resting his chin on them, "Please, please wake up soon.." Shuichi quietly drifted to sleep.
"Shu.."
Shuichi grumbled a bit to himself as he hurt his name being called out. Opening his tired eyes his violet eyes met the warm gaze of orbs of gold. Shuichi felt his throat tense up again.
"Yu-Yuki?" Shuichi's voice said as he looked over to the novelist that was quietly looking at him, his breathing a bit ridged.
Yuki forced his stiff face into a warm welcoming smile, "Shuichi.." He said, wanting to sit up and wrap his arms around the thin boys waist.
Tears of joy found their way to Shuichi's violet eyes, as they started to spill down his cheeks. "Yuki, you're finally awake." Shuichi quickly bent down over Yuki to give him a long kiss and a tight hug. "I-I can't believe it! You're finally awake.."
Yuki gave a small chuckle and said, "Ok, now let go, I can't breath when you do that, brat."
Shuichi laughed and sat back down on the chair, tears still streaming from his eyes, "Oh Yuki, I missed you so much."
Yuki gave a sniff nod and then noticed he bruise on his right cheek, "What happened to you're face..?"
Shuichi rose a hand to lightly touch his throbbing cheek, "Oh, this?" He said looking at the ground, "Mika smacked me yesterday as I was leaving.."
Yuki blinked at him and muttered, "Make sure I don't end up murdering her later.."
Shuichi chuckled and said, "Of course."
Yuki closed his eyes, a slight pain in his stomach again, "Hey Shuichi..?"
"Yes, Yuki?"
"Sing me a song, I don't care what one or what type, just sing to me." Yuki said, his breathing slowing a bit.
Shuichi could tell something was slightly wrong, "Yes, of course Yuki.."
Shuichi waited until his throat loosened up:
Well, hope is an anchor and love is a ship,
Time is the ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're goin' 'til you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars, well you better have a map.
A compass and a conscience, so you don't get lost at sea
Or on some old lonely island where no one wants to be.
From the beginning of creation I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us through the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world where we have never been.
We'll climb up on the mountain, y'all, we'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried it, they'll be the first to sing.
Shuichi looked over to Yuki, his eyes closed and it seemed like he was sleeping, Shuichi knew what was going to happened and quietly pushed the button to call the doctor in the room. Shuichi saw the light breathing of Yuki's rising and falling chest. Tears started to form around Shuichi's eyes as he continued when Yuki muttered, "Please Continue.."
Whoa, my, my
I'll see you on the other side if I make it
And it might be a long hard ride, but I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my.
Yuki nodded to himself slowly before a loud long beep was heard. Yuki was dying or already dead. Shuichi broke into silent sobs and covered his face as he whispered the rest of the song as the doctor rushed in to hear the beeping.
You don't bring nothing with you here
And you can't take nothing back
I ain't never seen a hearse, with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up prayin', scarred my back from fallin' down
Spent so much time flying high, 'til I'm face first in the ground.
So if you're up there watchin me, would you talk to God and say,
Tell him I might need a hand to see you both someday.
Shuichi brought his knees to his chest sobbing heavily into his knees, soaking his pants in salty tears, as he silently finished the song and the Doctor yelled for nurses and a few more Doctors to come into the room. Shuichi's body shook as he finished the last paragraph.
Whoa, my, my
So I'll see you on the other side if I make it
And it might be a long hard ride, but I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems that I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know that I wanna go where the streets are gold
'Cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my.
'Cause you'll be there
Oh, my, my...
"Yuki!" Shuichi yelled before standing up and looked down at the once again lifeless body. Shuichi rasied his hand up in the air and brought it down hard across Yuki's face. "Why are you leaving me here!" He cried before two nurses grabbed him from the arms and tugging him away from Yuki. Suddenly, everything went black.
Cat:I went through a lot of blood sweat and tears making this short chapter. XD. I told my one friend that Yuki eh, somewhat dies and she attacked me. I was running around the room screaming as my sister held her back and I tried to get away from her grip! Then she bit me drawing blood… Then I cried as I used these lyrics… They're so sad. I love the song, but it can make me cry.
Title of Song: You'll be there.
Singer: George Strait
If anyone doesn't like Country. -raspberry- Haha, to bad.

Anna Sartin: Thank you so much for correcting me, I must of not been paying attention while typing. -gives a bunch of muffins-
Aacire: Ooh! Maybe they'll make it out ok, maybe not. Maybe I'll have a change our heart and let Yuki die? Nah, I'm not that mean, but I'll put you under the influence maybe. XP.
Enelya Aldarion: I'm so sorry about the Doctor thing.. I really don't know about doctors much, all the doctors I had were perverts or I just plan hated them. Plus, I wasn't around for anything tragic. I was unconscious when they brought me into the hospital about when I got hit by a car so I didn't know how he was like. Sorry!
