"You are my sunshine." 8)
❀┊ Tadashi’s body was pale and lifeless resting there in his assigned hospital bed. Sunlight filtered through the tiny window on the far wall of the room. It was so cliche. This was the sort of scene you would see in a movie or read about in books. Except in those scenes the girl would come in and he’d wake up. They’d laugh, they’d cry. And they would go home and live happily ever after. This wasn’t suppose to happen in real life. This wasn’t suppose to happen to him.
The engineer’s raven black hair littered his pale face in an unsightly manner. But it suited him. There was no telling what hue his eyes held under those lids. Was it pain or anger? Or a deep chocolate in peace and contempt? It didn’t matter. If it wasn’t for the shallow rise and fall of his chest, Tadashi could easily be mistaken for one of the dead.
The room was set to a warm temperature. The sunlight streaming in relentlessly from the window fell just short of Honey’s face. Surely she should feel some sort of heat there? Some kind of warmth from the woolen blankets that covered her mid torso down. Or maybe even the aches and cramps from sleeping in a hospital chair night after night. Nothing. There was simply nothing.
She wasn’t cold. She wasn’t warm. She just was. She was alive, but unable to live. Dead, but breathing. It was as if even though he lay in that freshly made hospital bad, Honey Lemon’s body was the one that was giving up.
The room just sounded empty and bare with only the steady beeps and whines of the machinery monitoring his body and keeping him alive. Keeping her Tadashi alive.Why couldn’t someone walk in the room, look at the screen, and just tell her that he was here. That he heard her. That he understood her and more importantly that he knew was sorry.
A shaking hand reached out to press her palm over the scarred skin, littered like beautiful dripping parchment after a fire. After THE fire. ❝I’m sorry I never got to tell you. I’m sorry—— I.. Tadashi I love you. Please don’t leave me behind. Hiro needs you, everyone back at the lab needs you, I need you. I don’t want to be alone again.❞ Tears of pure agony and heartfelt throbs threatened to spill from the edges of her eyes. Honey choked back a sob before her thoughts suddenly interrupted by loud screeching. The room was overtaken by hectic beeps and screams from his monitors. ❝No. Not. Yet. Tada —— ❞
Honey colored eyes shot wide with panic as she launched herself out of that rock-hard guest chair by his bedside. Running to the door in her pastel socks, she allowed the tears to run freely down her cheeks as she screamed into the hallway. ❝NURSE. I NEED A NURSE. A DOCTOR. SOMEONE, ANYONE! HELP HIM!❞
The chaos of machines and determined yells of doctors wrenched her back into the cruel reality of the situation at hand. This wasn’t some silly movie where the princess finds her prince and they grow old together.
This was life. And life was very real.
Part of her wanted to crawl back into her mind and just think about him. Think about them before the fire. Before he she left the expo that night with only the comfort of hidden smiles and concealed glances. Before she unknowingly walked away from her best friend forever. He deserved better than her but she just wanted to remember. It made her happy and calm. But right now she couldn’t be that. Right now she had to be strong for him.
Forcing her way through the crowd of doctors and nurses that guarded the bed, she let out an inhuman sounding cry when they took out the defibrillators. Grabbing his hand, she screamed at them. They were going to hurt him. They were going to hurt her Tadashi. She felt the rough grasp of someone grabbing her, trying to force her away from the bed. Away from him. But she couldn’t leave. She wouldn’t abandon him in his time of need. Maybe he didn’t know she was there but he NEEDED her right now. She had to be there.
She screamed and fought against the hands that tried to direct her out of the room. But she held tight, even as she started to lose the battle did she hold tightly. Yelling out, she watched with desperation as the monitors declined and grew ever louder. As his pulse fell and his hand grew cold. And then there was nothing else but darkness as she watched that precious glowing line fall to a flat.
There was only darkness as the sunshine that filled her world died away in an instant.
