"You can't be serious!"
"I'm sorry but we can't let you in!" A man dressed in a white robe said, blocking a certain blonde's way.
"And why is that?" Cloud exclaimed in panic. His boyfriend, Reno Sinclair, was dying, alone, in a hospital room due to some 'unknown' poison and there he was, arguing with some stupid doctor!
"I-" The doctor hesitated. "I'm really sorry but I just can't let you in."
Cloud groaned in anger and without thinking two times, he grabbed the smaller man's collar and lifted him so that they were of the same height. "Listen up, jerk, you will tell why the fuck I can't go near my boyfriend when he's dying alone in some random room of this damn hospital!" The blond bit his lip to suppress the rising sob and struggled when two pairs of strong hands grabbed his arms, trying to calm him down.
"P-Please!" The doctor yelped in scare and disgust. "T-take this fag off me!"
Cloud narrowed his eyes so much that they were almost closed. "So that's why I can't go near that room?" He hissed, sending the small man against the floor with all his strength. "You won't let me get near Reno because we're a fucking gay couple?!" The blond screamed so loud that everybody around stopped just to listen to their fight or to send a look of reprobation towards the doctor. "Out of my way!" Cloud yelled, running as fast as his legs let him, praying that he wouldn't get there too late due to some stupid doctor's prejudice. "301, 303, 305, 307!" The warrior nearly cried, seeing the room where his lover would be, waiting for him.
"Time of death: 18h41."
Cloud stood frozen in his place in the doorway, watching as a nurse covered Reno's once handsome face with a soft, white sheet and walked away, never daring to look at the blond warrior in front of the room. With a broken sob, Cloud fell beside the bed and cried, clutching at his lover's lifeless hand. His partner in life had just died in the worse way possible, alone, just because they were victims of the society.
Cloud ended up closed in his room for the rest of his days, that weren't that much, distancing himself from his lover's killer.

Theme: Death/Homophobia
Word count: 386
I hate homophobic people so this drabble is based on one of any sentences related to it that I have on my profile. Btw, if you didn't squint the drabble enough to get it, Reno didn't die because there wasn't a cure to the poison, he died because of the doctor's prejudice towards him. In other words, the doctor let him die because he was gay.
Homophobia is wrong so do your part to end it.
