❀ Flower Shop ☾ - Tomioka Giyuu

Chapter 23

I haven't seen Giyuu in awhile. I've stopped trying to attempt to leave my place, simply because I've given up. There was still no sign of a cure for me and Sanemi, I'd never think there would be but I have completely lost hope at this point.

I think I can accept that I will die soon as a demon. It seems better to die that way then to die a painful death. I'd only have regrets; regrets that can't be ignored though. 

I sat in my house shuffling cards. I've been building a card tower ever since I became a demon. I would push it down once I became human again but since that day will never come, it has just been getting higher and higher. Everyday I have stacked it up one card higher. It seems like the tower is 4 months worth of cards now. I sighed, damn, it's been awhile, huh?

I was standing on a chair, keeping my balance to place a card on the top of the tower. But before I could even touch the card, the tower fell down.

Giyuu

I feel really bad about not visiting Y/N enough. No one has heard from neither Sanemi or Y/N. I'm glad they were finally accepting that they shouldn't leave but knowing them, it's not normal for them to give up so easily.

That made me worry a little. More like a lot.

"Don't worry Tomioka-san! I'm sure they're fine! You worry too much," Shinobu reassured, placing her hand on my shoulder.

"Shinobu, you think you could cover my missions for me today?" I turn to face her.

She looked at me for a moment, then laughed, "That's ridiculous! Why would I do that for you?"

I sighed in defeat, "I was thinking I could visit Y/N. It's been awhile since we've seen them."

"Tomioka.. there's one thing you just keep forgetting; we don't always get what we want." she said without smiling this time, "Some things will happen, even if you don't want them to happen. It's just your fate."

"And it is her fate to die a demon."

Shinobu

After that last sentence, he froze up. I know it's a little harsh but he needs to accept it. If we can't find a cure for them soon, they will die like that.

That's 2 other people I love, dead.

Sanemi

I was bored out of my mind so I decided to see if Y/N was willing to do anything. I knocked on her door but no one responded. I noticed that the door was open so I just let myself in.

I stepped into the living room, expecting to see Y/N. But it was way different then what I expected.

"Y/N..? What happened here?" 

She was lying on the floor unconscious with playing cards scattered on the floor around her.

I tried shaking her to wake her up but she wouldn't even flinch. Her pulse was slowing down and the tips of her hair were slowly turning into ashes.

Y/N

'Sitting alone, I hope we're still friends, I hope you don't mind..!'
