"You lied to me."
Pairing: KotoUmi
Umi never really mastered the way of lying. There was no way she could lie with a straight face, what more lying to her love?
There was simply no reason for her to do so.
She never thought Umi would lie to her.
Because no, Umi never go back on her words.
In these years they were together, she took comfort in the safety of Umi's promises, every one of them was promptly fulfilled.
Maybe she was too greedy, she thought.
And maybe she was asking too much.
"Don't worry, I will be fine."
"You're not lying to me are you?"
The sinusoidal curve on the machine reached its peak, and there was a soft beep.
"I need to make it through to celebrate your birthday with you."
There was an exhale, and the mask attached to Umi's mouth fogged up.
She could hear the air struggling to make its way out, and straining to flow in.
She began to tell Umi of her plans to celebrate the next day, crying all the while, but even so Umi had smiled, the tired eyes shining.
And that was enough.
She took comfort in that Umi never lied.
Umi's first lie was her last.
That was the fact that crushed her the most, because Umi never lies.
And even in death Kotori believed in her words, because Umi was going to be fine now, watching over her somewhere in heaven.
A/N: Fun fact this was an actual thing that happened in my life ;A;
