Hey guys so yeah I think your going to hate me for this but here's the next chapter for Fragments of Memory!

Recap of last chapter No POV

"Masamune-kun.....Me and my wife have come to a decision. Albit it is the hardest most painful decision to have come to as a parent and as human beings in general. We have decided that if Ritsu doesn't wake from this coma by the end of this year...then..,"

"We're going to take him of the machines." Mr. Onodera said.

Masamune POV

I could feel my body start to shake as my mind tried to process what I was just told.....what I have been in fear of. My eyes burned with tears at the news. My already tired mind tried to wrap itself around the new information.

Until the end of this year they said....wait whats today? March 1st...that means he only has 9 months, 306 days, 7344 hours, 440640 minutes, and 26438400 seconds, and the seconds are already ticking away as I think this'

"Why....Ritsu please.....wake up please" I shook Ritsu lightly the hot tears finally spilling over my eyes. "I....I can't go on without you so please, please wake up." I bend my head down on the bed next to Ritsu's Unconscious form as sobs racked my body. I suddenly felt someone hug me from behind. I turned slightly to see Mrs. Onodera right there, her eyes raw and puffy from her crying earlier.

"shhh Masamune...Calm down" her voice trembled slightly and I could tell that she had stopped crying and was trying to be strong for me despite the fact that she might lose her only son. After a while of her trying to soothe me I finally calmed down.

"Lets just pray and hope for the best Masamune" Mr. Onodera claimed. With that they left to give me privacy with Ritsu. Getting up from my position I quickly discarded my clothes in favor of some sweats and then got into bed with Ritsu. Holding him close to me. As I held him my mind started to race.

'Maybe I can lock down in here with Ri again' but then I thought about what Mrs. Onodera said. She was right....Ritsu would be happier free rather than being trapped in a coma. 'Mr. Onodera is right all I can do is pray and hope he awakes before his time limit is up.'

I then said aloud into my loves ear, hoping he could here, " Please wake up Ri," I started, using the nickname I adopted calling him a few weeks ago, "I won't leave you if you don't though...No I will follow you wherever you go."

After getting that of my chest I felt suddenly tired from my previous crying fit and fell asleep next to my the one that holds my heart.

Currently I was heading to the bathroom to take a piss before returning to the storyboards I was working on. As I did, I heard the door to Ritsu's room crack open and I heard a familiar voice.

"Hey Onodera, I have some new's for you, look's like Kisa got engaged yesterday. Isn't that great? Although he decided to wait to get married until next year. He hopes that you can attend his wedding, he hasn't given up on you. Also the author that you managed, well she's having a baby in a few month's. She told me that she wanted you to met the baby when she has it. Also that editor that you used to manage back at your parent's company, well I heard that he's finally going to do a world book signing. I was told that you were the one who originally suggested it back when you managed him. I think he planned to tell you himself, but his little lover was having some medical issues and asked me to tell you instead. I also heard that your parent's adopted a dog and named her Shiba. She's very loyal and sweet which is surprising since she's a full breed pit bull. It is kind of sad, we think she was abused in her earlier life because if you raised your hand as if you were going to hit her she would run away ears flat and tail behind her legs. She is a great comfort though, I wish she can meet you soon."

I zipped up my pants and left the bathroom and looked at Yokozawa sitting on a chair next to Ritsu. "How the hell do you know all this?"

"Because, unlike some people, I actually get outside and talk to people." he huffed at me. Yokozawa then got up and picked up a bag that smelled wonderfully like tempura. "Ah here, Hiyori was worried about your nutrition and made pork tempura for you."

"Ah, thanks I haven't had tempura since a few moths ago when Hatori brought some to me" I went and took it from Yokozawa. I then got out my pair of chopsticks. They were bright yellow ones with cute panda bears on them. As I ate, my old friend pulled up a chair next to me.

"Oh yeah that reminds me, how is Hatori doing?" I casually asked yet paid close attention to how Yokozawa's reaction. I saw him stiffen a little. "He's still on leave....apparently there was an issue with Chiaki that was never noticed till now."

"Issue?" I tilted my head curiously.

"Yeah.....apparently there was a fragment of bone stuck in between It never harmed him until he tripped and hit his side causing the bone to jar free from where it was at and pierce Chiaki's lung. He's still in surgery so to speak."

"Pft," I started to laugh, "hehehehe"

"What the hell MAsamune? this is no laughing matter! Have you finally lost it?"

"hehehehe Gomen but don't you find it funny and ironic? First that poor Misaki kid, then my Ritsu, and now Chiaki....It seems like fate is trying hard to claim all of the uke's. Wouldn't it just be great if it just left them alone? Or better yet, why doesn't fate just come try to take us instead. Why is it all ways the ukes that suffer? Why can't it ever be seme's? I mean it's not like any self respecting yaoi fangirl actually likes this kind of thing....right? It hurts so much not to be able to do anything" I felt tears starting down my eye's which.

"Masamune" I heard yokozawa softly say my name.

We sat there in silence for a while before Yokozawa started to speak again.

"It'll be alright, he'll pull through I know he will. He's got a stubborn will. He won't give up. He will hold on, and he will always make it before any deadline. Whether in his authors deadline's or now. He won't give up." With that said and done with, I heard Yokozawa get up. "I need to head home now....but please Masamune call me if you ever need anything." and with that he left.

I thought on what Yokozawa said and I knew he was right. Ritsu does indeed have a stubborn will. In all my years of knowing him, I knew that if he said he would get something done he would get it done. Just like with his mangaka, everyone gave up on her except for him. However he was persistent and stubborn, and despite being told by everyone that he wouldn't make it, he pulled through. So why should this be any different? Lust because he's in a coma?

Just because his life has now been given a deadline? Will that make him give up?

No I got to believe that he will pull through, just like how I believed in him then. That he will eventually come back to me. We can't be separated after 10 years then reunite just to be separated again. I don't believe the Angels would let that happen and if this is what they were intending then screw them.

I glanced at the calendar and sighed. I guess it's just hard to keep a straight head and calm demeanor when your soulmate has a deadline that has to be made...because unlike in the editing world, this deadline will have a devastating punishment if he's late.

288 Day's Left Until Ritsu's Final Deadline

Any way I'm looking for other yaoi authors to please join in and participate in the contest. I have aleady a few nomanines for each catefory listed for this year but a lot of those cateergoies are nearly blank, so either you nominate your story or nominate a friend, that can be very very helpful. And just so you know there are prizes for winning (Not just a tittle, you get actual prize) but for more info on that you can read the Yaoi Watty Awards Rule Book on my other profile page here @Yaoi_Watty_Awards
