"What would you do if you could live forever?" He asked her, his eyes glassy and voice fragile.

She pondered the thought for a moment, resting her hand on her chin. Her onyx eyes were squinted as if she was calculating an intense math problem that required the utmost concentration.

"I'm not sure Shouto," She said, her voice smooth and calm "I suppose I'd want to find the cure for cancer, or end world hunger." She chuckled before smiling softly at him

"I'd ask you the same question, but I suppose it would be pointless." She chuckled again, tenderly putting her hand on top of his.

Shouto scoffed, glancing away angrily for a split second, before sadly turning back to her.

"I don't want to live forever." He sighed

"Why's that?" Momo questioned.

"Because I would have to live without you."

Momo sighed sadly, laying back into her hospital bed and gently releasing her grip from his. She shut her eyes and rubbed her temples. Shouto hated seeing her this way.  

Todoroki looked over her pale, deteriorating body, thinly veiled by hospital-grade pyjamas. She was dying, he knew she was dying but yet, he couldn't bear it. Her once pink cheeks were now grey and hollow as her ribs jutted out from her body. Her skin was as white as fresh snow and her silken hair fell loosely around her. 

He took a sip of his wine as he looked up at her thin, pale face. Even within this dying body, he still found comfort when her eyes met his. Those onyx eyes were bursting with light and life. Along with her smile, that bright, tender soft smile of hers never failed to bring joy to him. 

Now, even the light in her eyes seemed to fade, and her smile became less and less prevalent.  Heart disease, more specifically, Cardiomyopathy had almost completely stolen the girl he loved. 

But what infuriated Shouto the most was not that the love of his life was dying, but the fact that she refused to do anything about it. She had taken minimal medicine and was refusing the open-heart surgery that could save her life.

"Please, Momo" Shouto begged, "Don't do this, don't make me watch you die."

Momo looked at him sadly as she straightened up a little bit, clasping her pale hand within his.

"Shouto." She said, her voice shaky "I don't want you to watch me die."

"Then the surgery-"

"You know I won't make it out alive. Even if I tried to." She paused again, "Shouto, there's no saving me."

Shouto's heart wrenched in his chest as he collapsed into her arms.

"Curse you, curse you- you damned woman! You've bewitched me. How am I supposed to carry on in a world without you? Curse you, curse this fucking disease."

Momo stroked his hair as he held him.

"How is it that I'm destined to live over 10,000 years and the girl I love can't even be destined to live for 25? If I could, I would give up my immortality for your life in a heartbeat."
