"43" (Kenma x reader)

3

It was around 2 weeks later. Kenmas condition was worsening. He couldn't get out of bed most days because it was to exhausting. You had adjusted to the chemo and radiation, but you still felt like shit.

"What are you reading" Kenma said pausing his game. "(Fav book) it's my favourite I've re-read it multiple times" you said looking at him. For a few minutes you guys just laid there. Looking at eachother. You felt your face heat up. All you could think about was kenma. The way his hair looked tied back, the way he looked at you. In that moment all you wanted was to be with him, in his arms. To be safe.

"Read to me" he said lowly. You gave him a puzzled expression. "I want you to read, out loud so I can hear" he said turning onto his side to look at you. You smiled, and you began to read.

You read out loud to him for over 2 hours. For some reason it was comforting, as if it was out of some sort of romance novel. You finished a chapter and looked over at kenma. He looked tired yet content. His eyes were barely open and he had a soft and kind smile.

"Keep reading please" he said lazily blinking his eyes. You started reading again. Kenma listened, your voice comforting him. He loved your voice he wanted to hear it for the rest of his life. He wanted to hold you in his arms, but he was to weak to really do anything about his want.

You finished reading. "The end" you said closing the book and putting it on the table next to your bed. "That's a good book" he said "yeah, that's why it's my Favorite" you said laughing a little. Kenma laughed softly and then looked at you again.

"Wanna play?" He said reaching his arm out with his switch. "Really?" You said kind of surprised. "Yeah go ahead" he said. You got up. Took the switch and sat at the end of his bed.

"You really suck at that game" Kenma said laughing a little. "It's my first time playing! I'd say I'm doing pretty good" you say. "Well, I guess for your first time your decent" he said. He watched as you played.

"Here, let me show you" he said taking the switch. "Now watch" he said explaining how to play and be good at it. "Now you try" he said passing it back to you. You played and he watched. "Good you got your first win!" He said. "YES FINALLY" you yelled. You started another round.

"Your getting better" he said still watching you play. "I am, but that's because I had a great teacher" you say. "The best teacher." "The best teacher" you said looking up and smiling. Kenmas heart pumped faster. He looked away and tried to calm down.

"You okay?" "Yeah just I got excited" he said rubbing his chest gently. "Want me to get a nurse?" "No im okay, keep playing" he said.

You played until his switch needed to be charged. Then you both talked for what felt like hours until the nurse told you both to get to bed.
