Chapter 5

His eyes fluttered open.

The white ceiling of the room greeted him and his eyes blinked. The faint scent of antiseptic and disinfectant lingered in the air, tickling his nose despite the cannula. His brows furrowed and a frown formed on his pale lips as his eyes peered around the room.

He sighed as he realized he had collapsed again.

He hated this place. Everything was cold and harsh, from the bad news the doctors uttered to the hallow walls of the white room. Horrible memories returned and haunted him again. Memories of which loneliness was the only feeling he had felt before.

He wanted to be in someplace else. Where everything was warm or at least, where that warm feeling would fill up his chest, reminding him that he was alive.

But more than anything, he wanted to be in the place near her. But where was she?

A warm, petite hand squeezed his own, that was when he noticed that he was holding it the whole time. He sat up and saw her, Takane, sleeping peacefully at the edge of his bed, her white headphones hang freely around her neck.

Haruka smiled as he carefully counted the slow paced breaths she took. He ruffled her soft raven locks and caressed them with his own fingers. He gradually began to feel calm and peaceful.

"Haru-ka…" He flinched as she softly mumbled his name in her sleep, a small wrinkle creasing her forehead. "Don't go."

He went still for a moment, but then he gave her his kindest smile and squeezed her hand. "I won't."
