Don't Go... {A KuroKen Fanfic}

-Chapter 29-

The silence became increasingly loud, almost defeaning. I sat there, my hand on his, my heart broken in two. I gently rubbed the palm of his hand, longing for him to wake up.

I knew what had to be done, I just wish I wasnt the one that had to do it.

Someone once told me that all good things come to an end eventually. I never really took these words to heart, but now I think I understand what they meant.

One moment you have everything you've ever wanted, and the next it's all gone.

I still had my everything for now, but I know soon he would be snatched away from me.

(The next day)

I entered Kenma's room, seeing him still asleep on the hospital bed. The monitor continued to beep, the ventilator continued to make a never-ending buzzing sound. Someone must've taken his hair out of the ponytail because his hair was in it's normal state, messy and covering half of his face. I chuckled a little and walked over, sitting on the chair next to his bed. I had spent all of last night doing a little project, hoping that he would get to see it.

I sat there for maybe an hour or two, watching him as he slept peacefully. He actually didn't look like he was in any kind of pain at the moment, he just looked unlike himself in the sense that he wasn't smiling or making dark jokes. I missed hearing his heavenly laugh and seeing his gorgeous, breathtaking smile. I missed seeing those cat-like eyes light up as soon as I entered the room. I missed everything that we had.

I noticed the monitor begin to beep a little bit faster, his heartrate obviously increasing. This was odd because normally it would decrease in speed due to him going deeper into his coma like sleep.

I raised an eyebrow in curiosity and stood up, preparing to call the nurse. When I went to turn towards the door I heard the smallest little sound. I barely heard it but sure enough it made me turn my head.

My expression completely changed from a worried frown to a shocked smile. I saw the small blond boy laying on the bed, his eyes cracked slightly. His hand twitched as his gaze trailed up to where I stood. He moved his mouth but no words came out. I ran over, my body shaking with shock. I didnt wanna scare him so I gently sat down on the edge of his bed, a smile plastered on my face. "Hey Kitten..." I said, tears forming in my eyes. "It's been too long..." I whispered happily as I sobbed.

I could see a very faint smile form on his face as he moved his hand over towards mine, grabbing on. He didn't grip my hand hard due to lack of strength and exhaustion, but he still held on. My heart exploded like it was filled with fireworks. My mind raced as I thought, maybe, just maybe, he would be okay.

He finally managed to get a few words out. "Kuro?" he mumbled, his eyes filled with confusion and worry.

I nodded my head, rubbing his hand softly. "Yes Kitten?" I replied, obviously worried about him.

"It's really you? I- I'm not imagining you...?" he mumbled with uncertainty. I smiled sadly and shook my head.

"No Kitten, it's me. I'm really here..." I managed to say, tears running down my cheek.

"Why are you crying Kuro?" he asked, sounding unsure.

I wiped the tears that had formed on my cheek. "It's nothing. I'm just glad I got to talk to you again..." I assured him, keeping the real reason a secret.

He sighed and coughed a little. "Kuro, my chest hurts..." he said, his eyes wandering around the room as if he was going to pass out. I stood up quickly, pressing a button that signaled for the nurse to come.
