Broken - Just for Elaine~
"(first name)… where are we going?" Kuroko asked, confused as you ran up the dirt path. Where were you heading?
"Adventure!" You exclaimed with enthusiasm. Hiking was one of your favorite past times. The forest was practically screaming, 'Exploring Me!'
"Come on Tetsuya!" You called out as you crawled over a large log blocking the path.
With a sigh of exhaustion Kuroko pushed through to catch up to his overly excited girlfriend. He wanted to impress her by showing her that he too could get through this without breaks, but of course due to his low stamina he was always right behind her. Although, this did count as training for Tetsuya, so he quietly followed behind.
It was nice to get out every once in a while. With the fresh air filling your lungs and the smell of wet bark, all of this was peaceful and relaxing for you. And you got to spend this time with your boyfriend! Could this get any better?
After a few hours of treading on through the maze of trails, Kuroko started to realize something.
“Hey… where are we?” He asked when he managed to catch up.
“Um… I don’t know… I was just planning to wander then head back when we both had our fill of nature. I actually thought of heading back, but… I don’t know where to start,” you admitted, now feeling bad, but you perked up so Kuroko wouldn’t worry.
“But hey! I got us in here so I’ll get us out!” You proclaimed. Suddenly, you lost your footing. With wide eyes you felt yourself falling. Then nothing. There was just black.
“(First name)!!!!!”
…
Opening your eyes, you could see the stars above. It was night time but… what happened? Sitting up, you rubbed your eyes. You felt so tired. But what you saw next was all the more shocking. Kuroko… was holding a body in his arms. He looked injured and pale, but what was more surprising was that fact that it was your body.
“I-impossible… why… what…?” You turned around as you crawled toward Kuroko with terrified eyes.
“T-Tetsuya! Hey, are you okay?” You asked. You reached out to help him up, but like a ghost your hand just slipped through. Your hand rippled, then slowly went back into its ghost-like form.
"I’m… fine… (first name)… please… don’t leave me… I love you… I don’t wanna be alone anymore… not you too.” He tugged harder on your limp body and pulled it into his embrace, trembling.
Tears poured from your eyes as you watchdd Kuroko’s calm attitude breaking. It was hard to watch.
“K-kuroko… I’m here... don’t cry.”
“(First name)? Is that you? Where… I can’t see you…” He looked up almost like he was staring at you, but you knew that he couldn’t actually see where you were.
“Yeah I’m here… Tetsuya… I… I think I’m dead," You said bluntly as you stared at the cold ground.
“…” Kuroko nodded to show he understood, but looking closer you could see he was trembling. He was probably questioning his sanity and trying to process everything.
Eventually Kuroko made it out of the forest, but he refused to leave your body behind. With no words exchanged between you two, he started to sob silently in the street. People who were near by look shocked, and some of the women screamed at the sight of your dead body. Luckily someone called a ambulance for Kuroko.
A few hours later Kuroko was left with a sprained arm. That was a good sign, but… that didn’t change the fact that you were still dead. You tried talking with other people, but they just walked by. They couldn’t hear you. It seemed Kuroko was the only one. Was it because he was with you when you died? Possibly.
“Hey… Kuroko, I’m so tired,” you admitted. For the past few hours it seemed that sleep tugged more and more at your eyes. You were unsure to why this was, but you started to have a feeling that you wouldn’t be able to stay here as long as you thought.
“What do you mean, (first name)?”
“Kuroko… I think it’s almost time.”
“For what?”
“For me… to be dead.”
Kuroko’s eyes widened then he searched around the room frantically.
“N-no… you're supposed to stay by my side…. You're mine, (first name), and you’re the only one I want with me!” He fell to his knees looking around for the source of your voice.
“I am yours Tetsuya… and I’ll always be but you know I must leave. I love you so much.”
“(First Name), I want to tell you something.”
“What is it?” You asked in a soft, quiet tone.
“Please… marry me.”
Your eye’s widened with the sudden question. A blush rose to your cheeks as you stared at your boyfriend, then a gentle smile rested on your lips. Tears of sadness filled your eyes.
“Yes,” you whispered as you leaned over and place your lips over his. “I love you, Kuroko.”
With those same words echoing in his ears, you gave into the sleep and disappeared.
Kuroko sensed your presence leave. He stared at the floor with a soft smile, but the tears wouldn’t stop. He was truly broken.
