Hikaru at first seemed to sleep all night. I moved around the room, finding different things to do. I was tired as hell from everything, and wanted to wake up as if it was all a sick and cruel dream, but I knew I had to spend all of the week with my Hikaru.
So I ended up laying in bed next to him, his warm breath rocking me to sleep as I stroked his cheek, aware that he was awake. He groaned under my touch and I watched him fall asleep with troubled eyes.
It was taking my Hikaru slowly. He tossed and turned all night until I layed his arm across his chest and he woke up with wild eyes. "K-Kaoru...god...my dream..." I sighed.
"Tell me."
His eyes scanned my face and a tear rolled down his cheek as he buried his face into the sheets. "It was you..."
I closed my eyes and when I opened them he was sitting upright, his face and chest turned blue from the moonlight coming through the window. I sat up and met his eyes, pleading for a longer life. I would've given it to him if I could.
He moved closer to me, shaking the bed, and for a split second I wanted to take my own life just to meet him at the golden gates...
He wrapped his arms around me and dug his face into my chest. "Kaoru...I'm not going to leave you..." My arms went limp as I wished it were true, and I realized how long the days would pass without him with me...
...Hikaru was dying and I had no say in it whatsoever.
