Pairing: Aomine Daiki and Kagami Taiga

Genre: Drama

Prompt: Kagami needs to go back to the US. Aomine doesn't want him to leave. 

Note: It's divided into two parts: Resonance and Lifeline. 

Resonance

It took me a while before I recognized this feeling. This feeling I've been ignoring for god knew how long already took its toll on me. I'm not really sure how to think about it, but it came to a point that I really yearned for his touch and warmth. And now, he's leaving Japan… for good. Maybe it's too late for me to confess this feeling. But I wanted him to stay. Stay beside me... forever. It took me this moment to admit the feelings I have been hiding since I met him. I'm confessing this to you, reader.

I am Aomine Daiki, and I'm in love with Kagami Taiga.

-*-*-*-

"Kagami..." I muttered as the red-haired japanese fixed his bags. We were standing in front of the Narita Airport, along with the Generation of Miracles and the whole Seirin team. Riko was crying, sobbing in Satsuki's arms. Kuroko was standing before me. The whole Seirin couldn't help but stare at Kagami with lonely eyes. Kise was carrying Nigou... and I must tell you, the wails of the dog were heartbreaking.

"There, there." Kise patted the dog's head, but even the blonde's touch could not suffice the pain the animal was going through.

"Take care, Kagami." Kuroko smiled as he gave a basketball full of everyone's dedications. "We’ll wait until you return." 

"Yeah! I'll definitely see you in a few years." The red-haired answered. A few years? Did this idiot know that he just told us an indefinite number? My fists clenched, wanting to knock some damn fucking sense out of this man. However, Akashi held my hand and looked at me. I knew what that meant. I unclenched it and watched as the others greeted him farewell. Every word I heard was like a blade cutting out my heart. How I wanted him to stay... I want him to stay.

"You've been a good player for our team, Kagami. It's hard to see you leave but I'm hoping for your basketball career to flourish in America." Teppei calmly spoke, while embracing Hyuuga who could not stop his tears from flowing. "I'll definitely see you soon... we will." He then placed a little kiss on Hyuuga's forehead and guided the captain to Riko.

"Kagamicchi..." Kise raised Nigou, and the red-haired calmly took Nigou to his arms. Nigou, on the other hand, clung to Kagami like he was his lifeline. Kagami laughed and buried his face on the dog's fur. Hell, if only Kagami knew that everyone didn't want him to leave. If only he could understand the pain we will be going through after he leaves.

Kagami was too selfish. He was selfishly in love with basketball. And here I am... helplessly in love with him.

It took me a moment to pick my own pieces again. Letting out a sigh, I approached the Seirin's ace. I don't fucking care if I look horrendous to everyone's sight. All I know was I needed to stay beside him. He might be the broken one but I'm having a hard time to admit that I need him to save me. I need his saving grace.

"Bakagami Taiga..." There... his beautiful name, colliding with my coarse voice danced through everyone's ears. He smiled at me as if like it was nothing to him that I looked stupid now.

"Yes, Ahomine Daiki..?" There again, his voice... so rough yet so soft in my ears... feels like a never-ending melody reaching its' end. He gave the dog to Kuroko who is standing across him.

"I... I..." The great Aomine Daiki bowed his head to this idiot. "I want you to stay."

I took a deep breath to force myself not to cry. For fuck's sake I have never cried in front of everyone in a long time. But he was an exception. And he would always be the exception.

The horror in everyone's eyes were vivid, I could feel that. Clear tears ran across my cheeks but I was able to maintain my composure. I raised my head and looked at him, straight to the eye, battling the train of thoughts inside my head. His serene face... his beautiful eyes... God forbid but I really want this man.

Kagami looked at me, and smiled. As he was about to speak the cabin attendant announced his flight details.

Kagami… say something. I thought as the latter lifted his bags and bowed his head. How dare he to defy my existence?

"KAGAMI TAIGA!" I roared, and it took me a moment to realize I got all of the people's attention. "CAN'T YOU HEAR ME? I SAID I WANT YOU TO MOTHERFUCKING STAY!"

Murasakibara took a grip on me, but I was unstoppable. Akashi did not do anything, Midorima did nothing but throw silent stares at the spectators.

"STAY... stay, Bakagami." I finally lost my shit. My voice cracked, tears endlessly falling from my eyes. "I love you so much... stay." I whimpered as the Aegis of Yosen released me from his grip.

Taiga bit his lower lip. After he threw a gaze, he closed his eyes and turned back at me. I let out a painful wail as he stepped away from me. He finally made his decision. He finally did.

All I could hear was the growling pain of letting him go resonating inside me. I stood up, wiped my tears using the back of my hands and made my way outside the airport. I did not give a shit if I hit everyone. All I know was that I need to leave the airport and mourn for the rest of my life. I was about to approach the exit when someone pulled me, pinned me down to the glass door and started kissing me. I was about to berserk when I realized those lips were familiar. Those lips… That grip… I broke the kiss and I saw an angel smiling, tears falling from his gorgeous eyes.

"I will." He spoke.

  Lifeline

Opportunities don't knock twice. Once someone gave you an opportunity to reach your dreams, you should grab it. Everyone will understand, everyone will cheer for you. Everyone will be happy for you. But every opportunity has it's downfall: there's a big possibility that you might leave everyone behind… including the one you love. The decision relies on you. Every action has its own consequence. Every step you make could lead to another path.

I can't just leave yet. Not yet. Not when I clarify things with him. Not when I can say what I really feel. He may be my mortal enemy in the basketball court, but he is the one I love. That person is no other than Touou's ace, Aomine Daiki.

…If he could only say stay.

I am Kagami Taiga, Seirin's ace player. And this is my confession.

-*-*-*-

"I understand that, Alex." I muttered as I looked at the folders in front of me. My mentor took a sip on her soda can and placed it on the table. Today was supposed to be a dinner date with Aomine, but Alex called me for an urgent meeting. "I know it's a good opportunity to train with NBA players, but.. do you think it's too early for this?"

The busty blonde shrugged her shoulders and threw another gaze at the folders she gave me. "True enough, it's too early for that. But it's a once in a lifetime opportunity I don't want you to miss. The fight with Yosen was proof enough that you can join NBA once you hit the proposed age."

"I know… but..." Seirin. Aomine. Those two things were the main reason why I played with all my heart. Never did I think that playing basketball could bring the hardest decision that I would make.

"Think about it, Kagami." Alex smiled. After a few breaths, the blonde spoke.

"Mind if I sleep at your house again? Hotel bed's too stiff. I prefer sleeping in your futon." She snickered.

"Suit yourself." I bluntly muttered. As the woman took her exit I gazed at the folders again, re-read every word imprinted on the papers. NBA... my dream was in front of me already. A few strokes of my pen on the signature field and I would be training with all of the people I looked up to way back when I was in the US. However there were factors that hinder me to sign these papers.

The Seirin team who believed in me all this time, whom I fought for months, whom I've shared my wins and defeats. And there's Aomine Daiki.

My number one enemy.

My number one.

My love.

I clasped my fingers. Tonight would be a long night for me.

-*-*-*-

"Are you sure?"

I sighed at Kuroko's question. I could not even answer it. I rested my head on the wall and looked at the clear, blue sky above me.

"I'm asking you, Kagami. Are you sure?" He asked again. Taking a deep breath I looked at the ice-eyed phantom.

"I'm not sure about it. Hey, it's my dream. However, I don't want to leave you guys. I promised you that we will be the best team in Japan, right?"

Kuroko shrugged. "True, but if it's your dream we are talking about then it's a different story. Captain and Riko-san would understand. The whole Seirin team will be there for you. If it's Seirin you're having issues with then I can say we will support you all the way."

A loud sigh escaped my lips. This was one hard decision to make. I couldn't leave them just yet.

After a few moments, Kuroko looked at me with his penetrating gaze. "Was it because of Aomine-kun?"

My face flushed. Bowing my head, I gave a short nod to the phantom.

"I'm sure Aomine would understand." He then took a sip on his vanilla shake and played with its straw. "He may break but he will redeem himself in time."

"Kuroko... I-"

"You love him." He then took another sip. "I know."

A loud groan then escaped my throat. "Aomine Daiki... why did you pop out of nowhere? I'm having hard time thinking about our future. I'm having a hard time deciding whether to go back to US or stay with you…" I muttered to myself.

"It'd be best to talk to Aomine-kun about this." He suggested.

"But how?"

"That I don't know."

-*-*-*-

Fast forward. Today is my flight. I'm in front of the airport. I'm packing my bags. Everyone gave their approval… except for Aomine. I couldn't say if his answer was a concrete 'yes'. All he said was…

"Do whatever you want."

Sure, I could take that as an indirect yes, but why did I feel like that I didn't really like to go to the US? Why do I have this feeling of regret..? I haven't signed the papers yet. Or I could say I don't have the initiative to sign these papers. Up to this time I could not decide for myself. I'm too overwhelmed to accept this offer.

Everyone gave their dedications, even Nigou gave me a licking which I didn't like but was able to endure. The whole Generation of Miracles were standing in front of me. Everyone seemed to be happy for my temporary decision except for the tanned Touou player, who has kept his silence since I told him the offer.

Everything went smoothly... not when Aomine spoke.

"I want you to stay."

Funny how those words broke all of my plans. Funny how those words resonated through my ears. Looking at him, I could now read the reason of his silence. He wanted me to stay. Stay beside him for good.

I was supposed to answer him but the flight attendant announced that the flight I was into would take off in a few minutes. That shook me. Aomine's confession... the NBA dream.. Those two collided inside my head. I bit my lower lip to control the confusion enveloping inside me. There's nothing I could do but close my eyes and plead to God for an answer. Then it hit me.

I have finally made my decision.

I turned back with my bags, ignoring the painful burst Aomine did. I immediately looked for Alex who's waiting inside the airport.

"Alex, I can't do this."

My mentor sighed and looked at me. After a few moments he tapped my shoulder.

"You are a full grown man now, Taiga."

I took that as a yes, pulled my bags and went back to the place where the whole team was standing. Upon reaching them I immediately looked for Aomine, but he was out of sight. I literally panicked when Kuroko pointed his finger at the exit. I dropped my bags and sprinted to the one I love. I pulled him, pinned him to the glass door and kissed him wholeheartedly. God knew I want to live forever with this person. He fought back but my grip was tighter. Aomine's my lifeline. I have no plans of letting him go.

It took me a moment to realize I have everyone's attention. The shock between everyone's faces was humiliating. However, it did not stop me to savor the lips of the person I adored the most.

He broke the kiss, looked at me with tears seamlessly flowing on his cheeks. I smiled at him, and our tears danced in perfect sync.

"I will." I spoke.

I did not know what happened, all I know was everyone in the vicinity shouted for gladness, and here I am, embracing my better half.

"I'm sorry, Aomine." I whispered.

"Don't have to be." He replied.

"I love you. I'll never go. I'll never let you go."

"You should. You must."

"I love you so much, Aomine."

"I know damn straight, Bakagami. I love you too."

I then cupped his face and kissed him. This time, sweeter than any other kisses we have shared.

His Princess [Tadashi X Hiro fanfic]

Title: His Princess

Word Count: 1,002

Pairing: Tadashi X Hiro

Prompt: Hiro remembered the time when Tadashi was still alive.

Note: Semi-NSFW. Do not read it if you don't like smut :)

------------------------------------------

Do you remember the day when you promised me that I will be your only princess, Tadashi? Do you remember the first kiss we shared, the first sensual touch you did on my skin? The first thrust you made while we're making love? Do you still remember it, Tadashi?

"Hiro.. wake up."

  I covered my face with my hands. That voice seemed familiar.

  "Hiro, you will be late for college."

  I sighed in annoyance. "Aunt Cass, my class starts at 2pm. I want to sleep more.."

  The woman laughed at my answer. "I know, I know. But it's already 12:30 in the afternoon. You should prepare fast, you know?~"

  I forgot what happened. All I knew was I almost jumped my ass off my bed while listening to Aunt Cass's laughter. A few cusses here and there as I took a quick bath. When I went out of the bathroom, my clothes are prepared. Thanks, Aunt Cass! I thought.

  Same old things: after wearing my usual clothes, I checked Baymax's program if there're bugs and viruses. Then I reminded him that he should take care of Aunt Cass while I'm gone. After much deliberation [and answering how would it make Baymax a better healthcare companion] I sprinted my way to SFIT. God.. It took me time before I got here. I immediately went to my study room and continued my studies about Microbots.

  Same old shit, I ended the day with an achievement this nerd school would appreciate. After saying a few goodbyes to the gang, I walked my way back home.

  Three years had passed since Tadashi's death, and I could still remember the times we shared. Those nights... those lovely nights I spent with him naked on his bed, kissing each other, touching each other's private parts, making love until we got tired, whispering our words of love to each other...

  Those nights were gone, forever.

  A kiss on Aunt Cass and a few pets to Mochi after, I went back to our room. I opened my bag and grabbed my laptop. I immediately jumped to Tadashi's bed, snuggling on its' pillows while finishing the report I owed SFIT.

  I was busy typing until my eyes met something. It was his old SFIT cap, hanging on one of his hangers. I smiled. I guess Aunt Cass placed it there in memory of him, to make me feel that Tadashi's still here.

  "Hiro, always remember.. I'm here beside you. I'll never leave your side. I'll love you until the end of my days. I love you, always have... always will."

  I closed my laptop and stood up. I went to the place where his cap was placed and removed the hanger in it. I sat down, closed my eyes and reminisced the days when Tadashi's at my side, caressing my face before he kisses me. After that, he would smile like an idiot until I fluster... and eventually kiss me again until I beg for more. He would lift me up, and lay me down gently on his bed. He would shower me kisses, from small pecks on my face down to my neck. Tadashi loved my ears, he would nibble it for god knew how long before his tongue trace down my collarbone. He would remove both of our shirts, and before I could even marvel at his wonderful body of his he would suck one of my nipples, the right one to be exact. He knew how to make me ask for more, he would start sucking it slowly, then his tongue would move around it, then suck it again before biting it playfully. His other hand, if not removing my pants, would start pinching my other nipple. When he got tired of playing with my right nipple, he moves to the other, while his other hand would start unbuckling my shorts.

  "I can't get enough of you, my princess." He would whisper before he licks down to my belly button. And in a snap, I could see myself ass-naked in front of this celestial being. I couldn't make him stop. He knew how to make me ask for more, he knew how to play with my soft spots. It's imprinted in his fat brain how to make me yearn for his touch, and he was using it expertly.

  "Hiro, I'll make love to you now."

  "Please do, Tadashi.."

  "You won't stop me, will you?"

  "..of course. I'm yours until the dawn rises. I'm yours until the sun sets. I'm yours forever."

  "That's good to hear."

  After that, that 'thing couples always do' would happen. He would start slow, testing the waters. When I got used to it, he would accelerate it to different heights. He had this power of making me feel like I was in a different dimension, with the touch of his fingers traching my backbone, his other hand supporting his thrusts. The he would pierce me deeply, until he hit my core. Then, he would start slow again, until I asked for a faster pace.. until I begged for my sanity to go down the drain.

  "Tadashi.. f-faster.. m-more.."

  "As you wish, princess."

  He had always succumbed to my desires. He was that kind. He was that affectionate towards me.

  Then I opened my eyes.

  Those days were gone already.

  I'm already alone.

  I'm not a princess anymore. I'm a normal kid now, 17 years old.. wishing that his older brother would come back again to me. Even though everyone did their best to lift myself up I know the fact already. Tadashi's gone. And he would never come back.

  I smiled. Not because I didn't care. But because I knew that I have invested my all to a person who deserved it more than anyone else. I know for a fact that someone would come along, and make me feel loved again, but nothing would replace Tadashi inside my heart.

  ..for he's the only one who could make me feel like a princess. His princess.

...NOT YET. [Tadashi X Hiro Fanfic]

Continuation of "Done". 

Title: Not Yet

Pairing: Tadashi X Hiro

Genre: Drama; Hurt; Angst

Many days had passed, and I haven't heard even a single word from Hiro. Since he moved to a different room, I could only see him a few times, all those times he was ignoring me. His stern eyes were already imprinted on his face whenever he saw me. He must hate me that much.

I lied to him. I found a girl worth flirting. Yeah, we had sex, casual sex to be exact. She was fun to talk to, she had sense of humor, she knew how to make me satisfied...things that I did not see in Hiro.

But that changed when Aunt Cass called that night, her worried voice echoed through my eardrums.

"Tadashi--" A pause. "Hiro... he's outside, waiting for you... sitting on the same spot for hours already. And it's winter. Please go back home."

It became a wake up call for me. I immediately took my bag, ran outside my fling's house and went back home, only to find out he's still awake. He had been waiting for me for seven hours.

"...Tadashi, let’s not make this complicated. You can just say that you found somebody worth loving than me, and I’m just a mere substitute for you, right?"

Mere substitute? I never thought Hiro to be the substitute. I just had to look for someone who has the same beat as mine. She was the substitute, not him.

"... I’m over you, Tadashi.."

No.. It can't be..

I used all my strength to pull him back in my arms, not letting him go. I cried buckets of tears but to no avail. He finally closed the door of reconciliation and it hurts me to see him change every single time.

"Thank you for loving me, Tadashi. You are now free."

He was not right. I wasn't free. I caged myself into my own guilt. Everyday I think about all the consequences of hurting Hiro. He was my lifeline. I did a single mistake, and it ruined all what I have worked for to make him step outside the boundary of brotherhood and love me selflessly.

A groan escaped my lips. The pain has to stop. I heaved a sigh, and as I do I heard a few knocks on my door. I immediately opened it, but no one greeted me. Only an envelope lying down the doorway. It had my name written on it. And by the handwriting I can say that it came from Hiro. I immediately opened it and read everything.

----*-*-*----

Tadashi,

Hello. It's been a while since we talked. Exactly two weeks since I moved to a different room. Two weeks since you last apologized. Two weeks since I stopped loving you more than I should.

Before anything else, I just want you to know that I'll always be right here for you.

Tadashi, it hurts. It really hurts to see you constantly lie about your whereabouts. Of all people, why do you have to lie to me? You kept on saying that the girl I saw a couple of weeks ago was just a friend, when I saw you kissing inside that room. Tadashi, I maybe blind but I'm not dumb. I know what was happening from the start. You might think that you had the upper hand but I'm just constantly observing you. I'm observing if your words were true. They were at first.. but you lied. Not just once, twice.. many times. In a span of two weeks I've been hearing nothing but lies from your mouth.

How dare you lie at me? How dare you shove your pathetic lies on my face when I did my best to love you wholeheartedly? You broke my heart two times. First, as your lover.. and the other, as your younger brother. There. I said it. Someday, you'll gonna realize your mistakes, or you already did. Well, I've got news for you. It won't take long for me to move on. It may hurt more, but trust me. I'll forget about this forbidden love we shared. One day, I'll forget that I have shared the same bed with you, I'll forget every single bit of the taste of your lips, every inch of your touch imprinted on my skin will be no more. That's how I am determined to forget you as my lover.

But you're still my brother. My older brother to be exact. It's hard to forget everything, Tadashi. I still love you more than a brother. But I need to end this.

I request distance from you. It might take days, weeks, months, even years to fully forget this feeling. I hope you understand. I can't hate you now, and I will not hate you. I still love you. I just have to stop this forbidden love we've been sharing.

Till then, Tadashi.

Hiro

----*-*-*-----

That night, I cried myself to sleep. I prayed that this wouldn't be the end for our relationship. He might think it's done.. but not yet. I'll change. I'll love him.

..only if he would give me a chance again. I already exhausted my chances, right?

DONE [Tadashi X Hiro Fanfic]

Title: Done

Pairing: Tadashi X Hiro

Genre: Drama; Hurt

Prompt: Hiro got tired. He loved him more than anything else. Now that he found another, Hiro had to stop loving him more than a brother.

I could feel the cold brush of the midnight wind, touching my cheeks as I looked at the highway. Staying outside wasn't a good choice, but I must endure the freezing breeze. I need to wait for my brother.. and my lover.

"Hiro..." The voice of Aunt Cass echoed through my ears. "Tadashi won't go home tonight. Go inside. It's cold there."

My head shook. "No, Aunt Cass. I'll still wait for him. After all, I can't sleep yet."

A sigh escaped her lips before turning the lights of the cafe off. I then reverted back my gaze on the road, watching the lights of the cars passed by. I could not help but tear up. A few weeks back, I'm on the same spot, his arms wrapped around my body, watching the same scene until we got tired of it. Afterwards, he would guide me to my bed. We would share kisses until we sleep. But those nights were no more. Lately, he's been going home late. No more hugs, no more kisses. He would just sleep the morning off and wake up afternoon.

"Tadashi! I already got the formula for--"

"I'm sorry, Hiro. I don't have time."

Door closes. That's it. No more conversations. No more "Me" time. No more Tadashi.

I wrapped my arms around my knees, battling the cold that was piercing my skin. I could not cry, not yet. I was still holding on the fact that he would come back to me and say sorry, just like what he did a few nights ago.

"I'm sorry, Hiro.. I'm really sorry.. I'll make it up to you next time."

"Who's that girl, Tadashi? Is she your girlfriend?"

"...No. My friends introduced her to me, and we just hang out."

"Honey Lemon doesn't know that girl."

"Uhm, my other friends.."

"No, you don't have friends other than GoGo, Wasabi and Fred. You're a nerd, how come you have these other 'friends', hn?"

"Listen, I don't want to talk about it okay? I need to go. We have a meeting. I'll talk to you soon."

Then in just a blink, my Tadashi's nowhere to see.

It took me a few minutes to realize I couldn't win with the weather, so I stood up and went inside our house. I went straight to our room and looked at my lover's bed. Memories started to rush again on my head.

"Hiro.." He spoke in such a loving manner, his eyes donning the fire of desire, piercing my insides. I could feel the love with the way he kissed my neck. I felt I was important.. I was his one.

"Yes, nii-chan.."

"I love you."

"I love you more... Tadashi." I responded. He then took a breath, a deep one, before he pressed his lips on mine.

A chuckle escaped my lips at that thought. He was that sweet before. He loved me that much. Now it was different. Way different than before... and it hurts so bad. Wiping the tears that glided down my cheeks, I leaned on the wall, staring at the bed that was once our lovenest.

After a few hours I stood up. This has to stop. I have given everything for him. I threw away all things because I love him. I love him that much. I was about to sleep when I heard a knock on the door.

"Hiro...?"

Shit. It's Tadashi.

I opened the door immediately. Tadashi's worried face greeted me. He then pulled me into a hug. I could feel his heartbeat again, synchronizing with mine. My eyes closed, my hands breaking the embrace. I then faced a baffled Tadashi.

"What's wrong?" He spoke.

A painful chuckle escaped my throat. "Let's not pretend that you missed me, Tadashi."

His eyes widened.

"Aunt Cass called you, I suppose. I've been waiting outside for three hours, stayed awake until now. Satisfied?" I let out a painful chuckle. "That's your Hiro Hamada update. I'm sleepy."

I was about to turn away from him when he pulled me and hugged me again.

I snapped.

"LET. ME. GO!!!!" I roared as I pushed him away from me.

"What's wrong, Hiro? I did say I'll make it up to you, right? Why are you turning cold--"

Wow.

"Turning cold on you, huh?" I gritted my teeth. "See Tadashi, I loved you more than you ever know. I loved you so much I could not sleep without you by my side. I loved you so much I endured the past weeks waiting for you outside to check on you. Tadashi, let's not make this complicated. You can just say that you found somebody worth loving than me, and I'm just a mere substitute for you, right?"

He fell silent. Bingo.

"See, Tadashi? You made love to your brother. YOU MADE ME FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU EVEN THOUGH IT WASN'T RIGHT! AND NOW THAT YOU FOUND THE ONE THAT YOU REALLY LOVE, YOU'LL JUST DITCH ME LIKE ONE OF YOUR BITCHES!"

I gasped for breath. That was the first time I screamed on my brother. I could feel my tears bursting out.. but I musn't cry. Not tonight.

"Hiro... I love you. You know that... but we're brothers--"

"BROTHERS! ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO HAVE SEX WITH YOUR BROTHER BECAUSE YOU LOVE THEM? REALLY NOW, TADASHI? REALLY NOW?"

He reached for my hand and held it. He kneeled in front of me, looking at me with apologetic eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hiro.. It's my fault."

I pulled my arm away from him, looking down at my brother. I was hurt. I was enduring it the whole time. This has to stop.

"I can't buy it, Tadashi. As much as I want to accept your apologies, the damage has been done. I'm over you, Tadashi.."

I gasped as he pulled me back in his arms and buried his face on my neck, sobbing painfully. "Hiro, please forgive me.. Hiro.. Please.." I tried to move away but his arms were too strong. I felt like I was on a cage. Moving left and right, I tried to escape but he wouldn't allow it.

"I love you, Hiro. Please... stay beside me."

I heaved a sigh.

"No, I can't. I can't love you more now. I have given too much. I have loved you more than myself, and it's tiring." I removed one of his hands. "I can't love you more than you want me to love you."

"But Hiro.."

I removed the other hand that's wrapped around my waist. My hand automatically reached and wiped the tears on his cheeks. I kissed his lips, and smiled at him.

"Thank you for loving me, Tadashi. You are now free."

I stood up, grabbed the doorknob, and before Tadashi could speak, I immediately closed the door.

I could hear Tadashi wail.

That was the time tears started to fall from my eyes.
