Pretty When You Cry////Asahi Azumane x Male/NB Reader

Chapter II

"Maybe the nurse is just in the bathroom?" I suggested I turn to him, but just when my head moved, a sharp pain sliced across my temples. I held my forehead and unconsciously bent over.

"L/N! A-are you okay? I mean obviously not, but I'm going to help you!" Asahi lifted me bridal style and carried me to the bed. The pain started to get worse as I grounded out,

"H-help. It hurts so much Azumane. Just please, please d-don't leave." I started to choke up.

This hurts so bad, there are more and more memories that I'm starting to forget my real life! This isn't good at all! I started to panic as more tears fell down my cheeks.

"I'm calling an ambulance, I'm sorry I don't know how to help you." His voice started to crack, I managed to open my eyes and saw him dialling on the wall phone.

"Please don't, I don't have Japanese insurance yet." Azumane looked at me with surprise,

"I'll cover the cost of the ride then, I don't know how much but I'll cover it. Please don't worry about anything L/N, you're in a lot of pain for some reason. Just please, don't fall asleep."

He dialled 119 and started telling the operator the situation of how I was hit in the head with a powerful spike during volleyball practice. I start to close my eyes as more and more memories fill my head, causing the pain to increase.

"Y/N! Come inside! Danny made us dinner, which means we need to order take out."

"Hey! It's not that burnt, there might be edible parts, I think." My eldest brother called out.

"I'll be there in a sec, let me just cool down with Jeri," I said back to him, gesturing to my older sister to order some food.

"You're lucky your brother was in the military, now you can be super fit for the upcoming running season and ACTUALLY win something."

"Ugh, how rude! Hehe!" I laughed as Jerico chuckled.

"You worked hard dude! I mean it, as the second eldest," He started speaking in a British accent, "I knight you, worthy of representing this family in the track." We laughed.

"Shut up man, let's go inside and shower you stink." I get up and walk towards the back entrance of our newly bought home.

"I stink? Dude, have you smelt yourself?"

"Yes I have, and I still smell better than you." I strut inside, leaving my brother shocked outdoors.

I walked towards the living room area but stopped to overhear my sister and brother talking.

"I mean honestly, I'm in my last year of high school then I could just get a job and help support us. It's not that big of a deal, I could always go to college later."

"No, do not give me that Artemis. You getting your education should be your top priority. I was able to hold us all together for years, and I can do it for more. Since, Jericho needs to step up and start helping financially. You need to live your young adult years."

"Yeah, but you never did! You should be out in the public scene, finding a girlfriend and then a wife. You should be able to find your happiness too! It's not fair if you completely break yourself at the expense of others, even if it's your loved ones." I step away from the corner to listen more to their conversation.

"Ugh, there's no point in arguing. You continue with your college prep and I'll talk to Jeri about him stepping up."

"So you can live your life, correct?" Artemis said, hoping he'll agree.

"If that is what it takes for you to fulfill your early adult years, fine. I'll get back into the dating pool."

"YES! This is great! You hear that Y/N?" Artemis said, getting up from her sitting chair and turning the corner to see my shocked face. "Oh come on, I know when my sibling is nearby, I have something like a spider-sense."

"So, does that make me the danger that you 'sensed'?" I asked laughing, relieved that she will pursue her dream career of becoming an architect.

"No, I could SMELL you from across the room. Quickly shower! Able finished up with his cafe early so we can all eat together."

"Haha! Fine, can we watch that show we like, maybe the pinheads might like it too!"

I started to open my eyes again, more tears streaming down my face, was that them, my two brothers? They were happy, and we were all together.

I wonder I don't care if this is some fever dream, I don't ever want to wake up.
