I really liked that thing you wrote for Midorima (the one where the s/o dies) so I was wondering if you could do one for Kagami too? Thanks!
Coincidentally enough Iād gotten the idea of writing a similar drabble with Kagami using a different song! Female pronouns used. -Admin Red

Kagami isnāt really the crying type.
If he can recall correctly, heās only cried in front of you twice.
When you first told him you loved him,
And when he walked through the door of your hospital room, only to have you look up and ask him who he was.
Kagami remembered it as if it had happened yesterday.
It was a Tuesday, the one weekday where the two of you had the time to meet between work hours during the day, between Kagamiās shifts and yours. Being a firefighter wasnāt easy, you knew, but you were proud of your boyfriend for being so passionately dedicated to his job.
Even if it meant spending less time with him, you made up for it by loving him more in whatever few hours you could spend together. Kagami didnāt mind that either, of course.
And everything began to move in a downward spiral from there.
The two of you had been together for three years. Three years of reluctant goodbyes at train stations, of light smiles and stolen kisses, of laughter and tears shared.
Three years of loving everything about you, and wanting to do anything for you.
All Kagami had ever wanted to do was to make you happy.
But now he can only sit outside your hospital room, unable to even make himself see you, the sadness and the guilt tugging at his heart so strongly that heās having trouble breathing, and he lowers his head to his arms, hoping no one can see such a strong man crying.
āWho the hell was that?!ā you yelled.
āJust listen to me! Calm down!ā Kagami shouted back. āI can explain! That was Alex, remember I told you about her? My basketball mentor from when I was in America! Remember?ā
āYour mentor?ā you laughed, and the disbelief in your eyes only caused Kagamiās heart to sink. āYou want me to believe that the beautiful girl kissing you in broad daylight is only your teacher? I expected excuses but this really takes the cake, Taiga.ā
Kagami took a shuddering breath. āLook, I told you before that sheās got a kind ofā¦kissing bug, I donāt even knowā¦itās really simple, Iāll just call up Alex, sheāll clear things upāā
He was reaching for his phone when you scoffed quietly, your back turned to him. āUnbelievable.ā
His heart clenched, and he froze. āWhat?ā he asked, voice harsh. You shook your head without turning around. āI may be a fool, but Iām not blind. Do you think so little of me that you think calling her will make me believe you?ā
Kagami swallowed, despite the dryness in his throat. His body felt hot, and he could hear the blood pounding in his ears.
āWhy are you always like this?ā he burst out. You turned sharply, eyebrows raised, and Kagami went on: āYouāre always looking down on me, belittling me, pushing me around. Why am I always the one making sure youāre happy?
Have you ever thought about how I feel?ā
āKagami-kun.ā
Kagami looks up at the sound of his name, seeing Kuroko in front of him. His best friendās face is impassive as always, but thereās a certain sadness in his eyes. āIām sorry,ā he says simply, and Kagami looks away.
āIt was my fault, Kuroko, Iāā
āThere was nothing you could do.ā
Kagami clenches his fist, slamming it against his knee angrily. āHow could you say that?ā he demands. āThere are so many things I could have done! I should haveāā
āYou couldnāt have stopped her.ā
Kagami flinches. āIf only Iādā¦ā
āYouāve spent too long making her happy that neither of you ever considered if you were happy,ā Kuroko says gently. āIt was only a matter of time before one of you gave out. It was only an accident that this happened. At least sheās still here, Kagami-kun.ā
Exhaling sharply, Kagami forces himself to look behind him, through the glass window of your hospital room, at your sleeping form, of a person who no longer knows him.
āIs she?ā
The fight was unlike any that youād had before.
Words were said that would have been better left unspoken, and threats were made that should have never left your mouth.
āIām not cheating on you! How many times do I have to say it for you to believe me?ā
āYou canāt fool me, Kagami, youāve lied to me before!ā
āI lie to you because I love you! Do you think itās easy to be with you?ā
āSo you admit it? Youāre sick of me so you went and got another girlfriend behind my back?ā
āTo hell with that! Why are you making me the bad guy? Youāre the one who wonāt listen to reason! Why are you making this so difficult for me?ā
āFuck you! Iām never listening to you again, Kagami Taiga. And you know what?ā
And then:
āI wish Iād never met you!ā
You look up, brow furrowing as the large red-haired man walks tentatively into your room. For such a big person he sure looks terrified at the sight of you.
āUm,ā you start, and Kagami inhales. You avert your gaze, unsure of why your heart is beating nervously. You have no memory of this man, so why is it so difficult to look at him?
Why does he look so sad?
āWhoā¦who are you to me?ā You say carefully, fingers tightening around the blanket on your lap. You watch Kagami from the corner of your eye, wondering how heāll respond.
Kagami takes a deep breath, then steps forward to sit down on the chair by your bed. āYou donāt remember me,ā he begins, and every word tastes like bile, burns in his throat and sends ice down his spine. āBut I had made a promise.ā
āA promise?ā You look so confused, so innocent - Kagami remembers vividly how angry, how hurt you were just a week ago.
āI promised to make you happy.ā Kagamiās voice shakes and he realizes heās crying. āI couldnātā¦I couldnāt fulfill it. I couldnāt keep my promise.ā
You frowned. āIsā¦is that why Iām here? Is that why I canāt remember who you are?ā Your voice is quavering and Kagami resists the urge to wrap you in his arms. He blinks rapidly, looking away as he wipes his palm across his cheek.
āYouāll find out eventually, but pleaseā¦ā Kagami clears his throat and stands, suddenly wanting to leave the room. He canāt hold his tears much longer, seeing you like this.
āPlease just knowā¦that I love you very much. And you wonāt be seeing me again.ā
Even though I am powerless
Even if my voice withers
Even if it will not reach you
I'll continue singing this song
If my wishes would come true,
I will make the flowers bloom again
A PAIN that was set deep inside my chest
that never seems to disappear no matter how long it takes
