(Dying of Love)
Typical!
Momiji awoke; his back aching like mad. He looked up and saw the one girl he had ever REALLY liked still fast asleep.
She looked so peaceful; the way she was laying had changed since the accident and there was more colour in her cheeks. But still, it had been almost a week, and there was still no sign of her waking up.
"Yo Momiji," said a voice from the doorway to the room.
Momiji turned, "Haru! What are you doing here?" Haru walked slowly towards Momiji and sat in the chair next to him. "I'm here visiting Tohru. Oh, and don't bother telling me why you're here…" said Haru reading the look in Momiji's eyes, "Momiji, it's been a week… there's no chance…"
Momiji looked at Haru shocked.
How could he say such hurtful things!?
"Have you not sat and watched over Rin every time she's been in hospital!? Why should it be any Different for Hinata!? She knows as well Haru! I told her and that's why she's here! Because I got all love-sick and told her!"
Momiji stopped yelling, His face deep red, and plopped himself down onto the seat next to Haru again. "Look Haru, sorry, I just needed to get it off my chest…"Croaked Momiji. Haru just nodded and left.
Why!?
Why had he done that!?
Momiji was tearing himself up inside.
I insulted Haru, who's not only a friend but family too!
But he was right; it had been a week…
About 3 hours later, a nurse arrived to give Hinata a wash. Momiji decided he would go and see Tohru, who was also in hospital.
As Momiji walked alone through the wards he thought about what future he and Hinata would have together, if there was to be one at all. With every step he took and every thought that blossomed he became more and more depressed.
It was lucky he arrived at Tohru's room when he did, or he may have just broken down and cried then and there.
He knocked before entering, and was surprised that the door was answered by Rin.
"Oh, hey Rin. Um… I was wondering if I could come in and see Tohru."
"Yeah whatever, me and Haru were just leaving anyway." Said Rin slowly, before opening the door wider and sliding out with Haru.
They both walked past Momiji without another word.
Tohru was delighted to see Momiji, The bubbliest Sohma by far.
But when he told her about what had happened, she realised that; maybe he wasn't so immature after all.
"Momiji, It wasn't anybody's fault, you haven't done anything wrong.
Go back to her; stay with her and comfort her until she wakes up.
I just know she'll wake up soon!" said Tohru with a smile.
And Momiji, with a new attitude to what had happened, left.
Momiji pulled a chair up to the bedside and took Hinata's hand in his.
He spoke to her as if she was awake; "Hinata, I'm sorry for what I did… But this wasn't supposed to happen! I swear that if you never wake up, I would never forgive myself…" His voice faded out and he began to sob.
It had been welling up inside of him for the last week.
And when the tears came, he couldn't stop them.
"Hinata, please, please Hear my voice!" he said through desperate sobs.
He withdrew his hand suddenly.
He could have sworn Hinata had just squeezed his hand!
He looked hopefully at her face; and saw her eyes flicker, before opening slowly.
And she spoke, words that would make Momiji's heart flutter for the rest of his life; "please don't let go, your hands are warm…" Her voice was shaky and quieter than usual.
But they were words, words from his lover's mouth.
Momiji showered and ate in the hospital canteen, before returning to Hinata's room with a small, blonde toy rabbit from the gift shop.
He thought the rabbit looked much like himself.
And bought it for a laugh.
When he entered Hinata's room he was surprised to see her sitting upright, reading a book.
"Um...hi Hinata!" Whispered Momiji.
"Mo-Chan!" She replied, a smile gracing her beautiful features.
Momiji rushed over and sat on the edge of her bed.
"I thought you weren't gonna wake up!" he said tearfully.
"For a while, I didn't think so either. But Momiji, did you really stay with me for the entire week?" Hinata asked in a slow and serious voice.
"Yes, because you ran before I finished telling you what I had to say." He replied, looking at the immaculately clean floor.
"I'm sorry. It was my…" She stopped abruptly as Momiji covered her mouth gently with his hand.
"It wasn't anyone's fault..." He said removing his hand gently, "the other thing I had to say was that; I love you…"
Hinata looked at him in shock. He loved her!? Was she dreaming?
"But Momiji, what about your…well… curse?" Hinata whispered.
"Can you not see past that?" Said Momiji worriedly.
"Of course I can! But I mean, are you all right with it?" she said, rushing through her words.
"I can, if it means that I can stay with you…" he said looking into he yellow eyes with his contrasting dark, almost, black ones.
"We can stay together, forever…" breathed Hinata as they moved closer and closer to each other.
But just as they were about to touch a nurse came in through the door and they moved apart instantly.
Typical!
