i would die a thousand times, just to see you in another life.
pt 1. i'll still love you.
a bright light would wake you up, everything looked so blurry. you'd turn your head to your left, seeing a monitor and some wires. you'd then follow the wires with your eyes and see it connected to your arms.
slowly, you'd start hearing the beeping sound released by the monitor and the same beeping sound to your right.
realizing that this was a hospital, you turn your head and see another person beside you, a monitor beside them and wires attached to their body. you'd use your arm to prop yourself, as you try to stand up. a voice would then ring in your ears.
" i wouldn't recommend you try to move. " he'd say, his voice a bit groggy.
you'd glance at him, answering " and who are you to tell me that? "
" i have a medical degree, take it from me. " he'd say, adjusting his position in the bed. he was now sitting down and you could finally see his face clearly.
you'd feel a sting, you weren't sure if it was emotionally or if it was the bandaged wound on your chest, either way, you paid it no mind.
" does it hurt? " you finally strike up a conversation after a short silence. you'd point at the wound on his shoulder.
" im sure it doesn't hurt as much as your wound. " he'd chuckle softly. " i heard your heart stopped too, probably why they put us in the same room. " he'd say, glancing away from you.
you look at his wound and yours. " can i ask a question? " you glance up at him.
" you already are. "
" what happened.. ? after the fireworks, i mean. "
he'd now lock his gaze into yours, another sting, this time you knew it wasn't your wound at all.
" they said, the rescuers saw a metal rod stuck to your chest.. and they said it looked like you were protecting me from it. " he'd explain.
" they probably saw wrong. " you'd speak, your voice hoarse from dehydration. " i don't even know who you are. "
you'd try to stand up once again, wanting to grab a glass of water. your head would start to spin as you hold onto the railings. the man would try to stand up too, grabbing you to prevent you from falling.
a bang in the sky would echo throughout tokyo, a blast of color decorating the dark night sky.
" do you wish to take permanent residency? "
" no. we're going back together " you'd glance to your side hearing the source of the words. his hands were pressed onto your chest, blood covering his fingers. his other hand would carress your hair, " please ____ , hang on just a bit more. "
" are you okay? " you'd hear the groggy voice once again.
you dont reply to him as he puts a hand on your arm, you'd look at him with sadness in your eyes.
" ____ " he'd breathe out your name, guiding you back to your bed, letting you sit on the edge. his voice would come out, softer than you could ever imagine " you remember.. dont you? "
