Gokudera thrashes around violently.
"NO! LET HER OUT DAMN IT!" He struggles and the handcuffs start cutting into his wrists. "I'M NOT GONNA LET HER DIE!"
"Come along, young Hayato. It's time for you to go back to your room."
Reaper snaps his fingers and the guards enter and drag Gokudera out of the room. As they pass the next room Gokudera catches a glimpse of doctors surrounding Phoenix's unmoving, bleeding body before Reaper shuts that door and forces him into the elevator. Gokudera screams Phoenix's name as loud as he can, hoping she can hear him.
"LET...GO...OF...ME! She needs me damn it!"
Reaper merely laughs as the elevator starts to move.
"From the looks of it, she doesn't need anyone anymore. Oh well." When the elevator reaches the fourth floor Reaper turns to the guards and says. "Lock him in his room and if he tries to escape shoot him in th-" Reaper's phone cuts him off. "Oh, hold on." The Hispanic man turns away and answers it. "Okay. Well if you'll excuse me I have errands to attend to. Have a good day, young Hayato."
"No, she can't be...she said she'd live. For me..."
Gokudera thrashes harder against the guards' hold as they force him down the hall.
"I DONT CARE IF SHE'S DEAD, I'LL REVIVE HER! REAPERRRRRRR!"
The guards force him into his apartment and one of them stays in the room with him
"Try and get out and I'll shoot you, boy."
Gokudera tries to calm down, knowing that his anger wouldn't help Phoenix at all.
"I don't care what you do to me. Just..." Gokudera takes a step closer to the door thinking. "Damn it, I need to see her. I need to make sure she's all right..."
The guard fires his gun and a hole appears in the floor a few inches from the bomber's foot.
"Back away from the door, boy." Gokudera grinds his teeth and charges at the guard, attempting to injure him but receives the butt of the guard's gun in the stomach. "Really, is that it? That's the best you got? No wonder Reaper took you-"
A knock on the door interrupts him, and the guard opens the door to see another guard.
"We can let him out now...They're ready for him."
The first guard nods and turns to Gokudera.
"Looks like they brought her up for you."
"M-Merda."
Gokudera starts to feel anxious about Phoenix's plight.
"I know she's alive. She has to be..."
The guard leads him into the redhead's apartment where another guard is placing the unmoving form of Phoenix on the couch.
"Go say your final goodbye, boy."
The guard pushes Gokudera towards the couch with a laugh. The tan teen glares at the guard but walks over to the couch and kneels down next to it, stroking his lover's wet hair.
"Hey Aydan, it's me, it's Hayato. Come on, you gotta wake up. We're getting outta here. We just gotta kick Reaper's ass. So...come on."
Gokudera's vision blurs as tears fill his eyes but he holds them back. Phoenix doesn't move and the guards laugh, which Gokudera ignores as he shakes Phoenix's shoulder gently.
"Aydan...Aydan, wake up." His voice cracks. "C-Come on, baby, you gotta wake up..."
One of the guards grabs Gokudera's should and pulls him back.
"Boy, she's dead. I checked her pulse myself. She's gone and nothing you say will bring her back."
Gokudera turns to look at the guard and, in seeing how serious his face is, turns back to Phoenix.
"She...she can't be dead. Not now. Not after I said all those things..."
Gokudera feels a single tear fall down his cheek and pecks her lips gently before holding her hand up to his cheek and leaning into it.
"Please Aydan...it's me, Hayato. I'm here for you now, Aydan. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I said those things but please...wake up...just wake up..."
The fifteen-year-olds voice falters and dies as his throat begins to knot up. The guards, however, just laugh and pull Gokudera away from Phoenix.
"She's dead boy; she drowned for her pathetic love." The guard scoffs at the idea. "So just say goodbye already, we need to get rid of the body."
"NO! She's not dead, damn it! She can't..." Gokudera tightens his hold on her as he holds it to his chest. "She's not dead. I won't let her die!"
"You're not gonna let someone who's already dead die?" The guard pulls Gokudera away from Phoenix's side and throws him across the room. "Boy, the girl's dead, accept it and move on. She's just a girl."
"SHE'S NOT JUST A GIRL!" Gokudera screams at the guard. "She's...she's my girl. And I love her...a lot!"
The guards all laugh at that.
"Oh I'm sorry she's your girl. Kid, a girl is a girl. There's plenty more out there. Just get another."
Gokudera snaps and attacks the guard, landing a hard punch on the guard's face.
"SHE'S NOT JUST SOME REPLACEABLE GIRL, GODDAMN IT!"
The guard snarls and twists Gokudera's arm behind his back.
"Then why were you so quick to doubt her?" The guard smiles as Gokudera freezes. "That's right. I know about your fight, she threw the idea that she was still working with Reaper out there and you doubted her."
The guard laughs as Gokudera falters.
"She...I...Tch. It just came as a shock, okay! Even if I doubted her, it doesn't mean I'd leave her just like that! I care about her too much to do it!"
Gokudera kicks his foot back, hitting the guard in the groin. The guard groans and twists the teen's arm farther behind his back.
"Right, you just keep telling yourse-"
The guard's sentence is cut off as he is pulled away from Gokudera by a barely standing Phoenix. She snarls and an animalistic look covers her face as she goes into a protective stance in front of Gokudera.
"Leave. Him. Alone."
