My hand rests on his. Some tears still slowly wash down my face. I've moved my chair over to his bed so I can sit with him.
I interlock our fingers and admire the figure in front of me. He's getting paler.
A wave of worry collapses inside of me. My stomach feels empty and apart from worry I feel almost feel numb.
I've barely been eating and every time i try to sleep I either get kept up by my anxiety or woken by a nightmare.
Maybe he's right. Maybe life isn't worth living...
I feel my phone ding in my back pocket and immediately check it.
New message from 'Soy Sauce Face'
[Hey Bakubro, you weren't in class today so I emailed you the work. You alright? Your not in your dorm and we're all kinda worried...]
Sent at 3:56pm
[Thanks I guess. I'm just visiting Kirishima, try not to worry about me]
Even if I did want to address Eijiro by his nickname 'Shitty Hair', his hair is down and straight. It looks really nice.
'Soy Sauce Face,' at 3:57pm
[Alright, hope your feeling better man]
I close my phone and shove it back into my back pocket. The eerie feeling and smell of the hospital is starting to trigger me so I decide to take a walk in the garden.
Greenery surrounds me and I feel my anxiety start to calm down just a notch. The fresh smell of plants and water soothes me.
Hanging plants surrounds me, accompanied by tall tress and bushes scattered around. I make my way towards a small, wooden bench and take a seat, attempting to relax and calm down.
Stay with me Eijiro...please
"...hey" I hear a familiar voice say and swiftly turn in the direction of sound.
"Oh..aren't you Eijiro's sister?" I ask.
"...yeah, I was just about to go visit but got a bit lost," she states coming to sit down next to me, although uninvited.
"Aiko Kirishima, right?"
"Yes," she states, silence filling the room apart from the occasional tweeting of a bird.
"You and Ei seem to have been good friends," she says, breaking the silence.
"...yeah," I mumble, "this must be hard for you and your family, right?"
"No loss is easy, but he's not gone yet," she says, "My mums finding it the hardest. I haven't seen her eat in days, she keeps blaming herself when she did nothing wrong."
"...yeah, I understand. What about you?" I question, trying not to come off as insensitive.
"Fine I guess. I'm doing better than my mum, still not great though," she explains, "and you? You seem to be a lot...calmer than the last time I saw you,"
"I'm...trying," I state, "I've been visiting everyday, not taking it too well."
"Sorry," she mumbles and I hum, finally looking at her. She has long, black hair and red eyes, almost a replica of Eijiro.
"How old are you?" I ask.
She looks about my age, maybe younger I'm not sure.
"Fifteen," she states, "I'm guessing your the same age as my brother, sixteen,"
"Yeah..."
Again there's a long silence. I start to pick at my nails and take off the skin. My legs won't stop rocking but it's fine it always is.
"He's getting paler..." I murmur.
"...what?"
"He's getting paler." I repeat, this time louder.
Again with the silence, but this time it drags on. I feel my anxiety start to worsen, it's getting dark and I'm starting to get paranoid.
I see a slight shadow, like a glimpse of people in the corner of the room but when I look there's no one there.
"...there's no one over there, right?" I ask, pointing to the corner of the room.
Her face flushed with a look of concern and pity.
"...there's no one there," she starts, "I really don't mean to be rude...but are you...suffering from something? What made you think there might be something there...?"
"Oh..." I mumble, "I guess. I have GAD, also known as a generalised anxiety disorder. It's pretty common," I explain.
"Sorry for asking," she mumbles and I shrug, "let's go see Eijiro."
I lead her up the stairs walking to his room, as a doctor or maybe a nurse stops us in our tracks.
"..can I help you?" I ask.
"Katsuki Bakugou?" She questions.
"That's me..."
"Eijiro Kirishima is awake."
