"Sora, are you sure you're okay…"
Riku's voice sounded distant as they walked home from school. Sora's face had been flushed for a few days now, and even though they knew he had a cold, something seemed off about him. The brunette staggered up the hill, Riku's hand on his back.
"Fine…" Sora said weakly, sniffling heavily. Riku didn't seem convinced, and Sora felt more pressure from Riku's grasp.
Sora had been sick for about three days and wasn't getting any better. Right after Sora had the problems with the bullies calling him weak, he contracted a horrible cold from being in the rain for so long, and it hadn't gone away. Riku was worrying that it was something worse than a cold, because Sora's ever was getting worse. Riku, Hana and Halen (even Kairi too) tried to get Sora to stay home, but he point blank refused to listen and got ready every morning.
Stopping at the top of the hill and looking out, Sora swayed dangerously before he started coughing violently. Riku patted his back lightly, but Sora continued and tried to take in a breath, but it seemed to catch in his throat. Riku sighed and looked at Sora whose eyes were rolling back into his head, his breathing shallow.
Riku gasped and caught him before he fell completely. Sora eyes were closed tight with pain and his face was flushed.
"I…can't breathe…Riku…"
"Sora!"
-After the Battle-
Darkness…no…
It wasn't darkness…it was too hot…
I can't breathe…my chest is so tight…
"Sora!" said a familiar voice. Blue eyes appeared in front his. Roxas was standing in front of him, as he often did in his dreams.
"Sora! Sora, come on! Wake up!"
"I…I can't Roxas…I can't breathe…"
Roxas had his hands on Sora's shoulders shaking him. "Sora…"
The name kept repeating as Sora fell deeper into sleep.
Sora…Please…Wake up…
-After the Battle-
They said it was pneumonia. Sora's mother held his clammy hand as the doctor explained what they were planning on doing. Riku almost couldn't hear the doctor as he stared at Sora's pallid form, the brunette's breathing harsh.
"His case is really bad…It's due to his slight asthma….I thought he had finally grown out of it….we will provide him with antibiotics to fight it…but the rest is really up to him…"
Riku looked at the doctor, his green eyes widening. Sora's asthma….
The doctor left and Hana looked back at her son, tears falling from her eyes. Riku didn't know a thing about Sora's breathing problems and he had been around since Sora was four years old. Yeah, Sora was sick a lot as a child, but he had no idea that was partially because of his asthma.
"Asthma…?"
Halen nodded from his place on the other side of Sora's bed. "My father has problems with asthma, I have slight problems with it, and so does Sora, although, he's very lucky that his was so mild that it got better as he got older. The only thing is we have to get him to be careful when he is sick…"
A voice that Riku heard that was familiar came from the bed, but it wasn't Sora's.
"I-I….not…weak…." said the softer voice of Roxas. Hana and Halen didn't notice, but just slightly laugh at the statement from their son, because that meant he might be alright. Riku immediately grabbed his cell phone from his pocket (an early birthday present from Sora, they got cell phones together) and ran out the door.
-After the Battle-
"Kairi, Roxas is talking through him. I heard him. Sora must be lost…we gotta get him back! Kairi, I know that Namine and you can help him. If we don't act fast, he'll be gone. Sora and Roxas!" Riku said into the phone outside the hospital, pacing back and forth quickly.
"Sora's fever might be causing him to go within himself to get better. Roxas must be trying to tell us he needs help. I'll be there soon."
Riku heard the line go dead and he hung up. Looking back to the doors he saw himself looking back, his eyes worried and features paler than usual.
"Come on Sora, you have to get better…."
-After the Battle-
"Sora!"
Sora could feel his hands on his shoulders. Wait…his hands…no…Roxas' hands…
"Rox…I can't…"
Roxas was holding him up. "No, Sora, you can! You can get better! I told you it wouldn't be a good idea to do everything while you were sick! Come on Sora! Mom, Dad and Riku are getting worried and I can't keep this up! This body is ours, and it takes both of us to work! Light and Darkness!"
"Roxas…I…" Sora closed his eyes again, "I need sleep…"
"Sora! No! Don't fall asleep! Sora!"
Darkness surrounded him and he couldn't hear his other's voice anymore.
-After the Battle-
Kairi and Riku had been there for almost four days now, and Sora still hadn't spoke. Roxas had also only spared a few updates, saying that he was trying very hard to get Sora to wake up, but even the other's voice sounded weak.
"Kai…can you…" Riku said, looking at her.
"No…I can't feel him at all…Sora's heart is really weak…Namine says that Roxas is also weakening…"
Riku looked back at Sora, whose eyes were opening slowly. Hope filled his heart but he realized soon that it wasn't Sora. The blue eyes were slightly devoid of emotion and didn't have the light that Sora's normally had. It was Roxas again, looking weaker than he had before.
"Sora…says….sorry…and…he…loves…" Roxas was gone again, and there was an outflow of breath from Sora's body, then…nothing. Riku stood up and took Sora's hand in his, and Kairi did the same.
"Sora! Wake up! Come on, So! Don't die on us," Kairi said, her eyes filling with tears, holding Sora's hand close to her heart. His parents came back in at that moment, Hana gasping.
Riku felt tears fall down his cheeks as he brought Sora's hand up to his cheek.
"Sora…please…don't die….I love you…"
