Someone You Love •OffGun

FIVE

Third

Off never saw Gun that whole day after he left for check up. Off even planned on asking him why is he here?

Off again felt empty after his friends left the hospital. The time where his room become silent is the time his mind will become active and loud.

He felt empty inside. More empty than ever. And Off doesn't even know the reason. Why and how can he fulfill that emptiness inside him.

He was so used to feeling like that but he still hope he can fulfill the hole inside his heart. He hopes he can fulfill the emptiness.

Off was interrupted by the knocked on his door. Off looked at the wall clock. It's 8 P.M. the doctor will gonna check him at 11 P.M.

The door carefully opened and Off saw Gun with a wheelchair. Off watches him in confuse.

"Hey, Come sit here" he said as he pats the wheelchair. He was whisphering.

"Why?" Off asked. He also whispered for some reason. But Gun just smiled at him and helps him to sit on the wheelchair.

"I'm going to take you somewhere" he said before pushing him slowly. It confuses Off even more.

"We can't go anywhere now, Gun" he said being nervous of the idea of being caught while sneeking out.

"You don't have to worry. I am doing it for a long time" he said as he opened the door carefully, not wanting to make a noise. He pushed Off outside as Off immediately looked at his left and right side, trying to see if there is anyone that could see them. Off sigh when he realized what he is doing.

Gun pushed him again after he finally closed the door. He's pushing him carefully in the corridor.

Off was confused when they entered the elevator and Gun pressed the top floor. Off was now getting an idea on where Gun is taking him.

Off can hear Gun giggling while the elevator is going up and he just stared at him. Realizing that he wasn't feeling the emptiness anymore. He stopped overthinking and he's heart isn't that heavy anymore.

When the door opened, Gun carefully looked outside, trying to make sure there is no one. He then looked at Off, smiling big before pushing him again.

They stopped at the stair, Off now looked at Gun, silently asking him what should they do now. Gun just smiled at him like he already made a plan.

He pushed Off at the dark corner and gently helps him get up. He holds Off's hand wrapped it around his shoulder. Off's heart began to beat faster again.

"We will leave that there for now" Gun whispheres and helps Off take a step on every stair. He helps him took a step as silent as possible until they reached another door.

Gun opened it and their faces touches the cold breeze. And they were welcomed with the city lights.

Off looked around at the rooftop. He looked around the city. Off was amazed seeing the city lights. It was calming him. Seeing those building lights in a dark city just like how the moon and stars shine in a dark sky.

They both sat down and looked up at the sky.

"It's beautiful, isn't it?" Gun asked, also smiling big. Satisfied by the older's reaction.

Off just hummed yes to his question. He will never get tired looking at the view like this. The breath taking view that calms him.

It was silent. Both of them are enjoying the view. Gun was smiling while Off's smile is now faded. He never likes quite place. He might feel suffocated now if the view isn't beautiful like this.

No one is talking but Off never felt alone. It was new. He never knew that someone's presence can make him nervous and calm at the same time.

The only thing that keeps on running on his mind is what is the younger doing? What his reaction? Does he also feel relaxed? What he is thinking? All about him and nothing else.

Off gazed slowly turns to Gun and was surprised by the younger who was now looking at him. The same like the way he looked at him that time. The look like he knows everything.

"Does it hurt so much?" His question caught him off guard. His heart beat became faster and louder.

No one ever asked him how he feels. No one. Not even his friends. Not even his best friend.

Off cleared his throat and gulped before answering his question.

"M-my legs? It hurts a b-bit" he stuttered. He doesn't know why he stuttered. He knows that's not what he meant. He meant something. But he can't just open his heart and talk about it to someone he just met and barely knows.

He never really shared anything that was going on inside his head. He never shared his pain. He never open up to anyone except for Tay who knows all of the things that Off have been through.

People like Off was being called cold because that is how they treat someone who's trying to get closer to them. Some may do that to protect theirselves but Off is doing that to protect that person and himself.

He was used to live while pretending. Trying to hide all the thoughts inside his head that is slowly killing him. Trying hard to fight it because he doesn't want to hurt his friends but he still ended up hurting them.

Off knows his friends are the only reason why he's still here. No matter how much he wants to end it, he was still fighting it for his friends. Because he doesn't want to see them hurt.

And being read by the person he just met last night is something that Off can't understand.

Gun pointed his chest, right in front of his heart.

"I mean here. Does it hurts a lot?"
