It's been many days, and (Y/N) was still admitted in the hospital. The doctor has instructed her that she must remain in there till further notice. There wasn't a single day when Tsukishima wasn't by her side. He was the one who fed her, accompanied her on walks, and was just generally there for her. Like an emotional support friend.
He would go to school and then come home for a few minutes to shower before going to see the ill girl. He'd tell her about his day, and she'd also quip in with her own stories and the new acquaintances she'd made during her hospital stay.
"You know, Hotaru-chan, you could just leave me here alone."
Tsukishima was peeling a tangerine when he overheard her say something. He halted immediately and flashed her a glare, causing her to gulp.
"I could, but I didn't, so shut up and eat your damn tangerine," he said, handing her the peeled citrus. She pouted and grudgingly accepted the fruit from his outstretched palm.
"You're making it so much more difficult for me to say goodbye, Kei."
That was heard by the tall boy. He bit his lower lip and blinked away his tears.
"Then don't say goodbye. Stay here, with me." (Y/N) glanced at him and smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes.
"Everybody's bound to say goodbye, Kei."
His lips quivered, and soon enough, tears welled up in his eyes.
"Why are you so adamant in leaving so soon anyway?" he whispered, looking down on his lap as he bit his lip harder. He let the tears flow uninvitedly.
"I'm tired," she simply answered as she reached out a dainty hand him. He held her palm to his cheek and pressed a swift kiss on her wrist.
He stared at her with such emotion in his golden eyes that she nearly wept.
"Then allow me to be your rest."
