The Ice in my Heart (K/DA x Male Reader)

18 | Awakening

Seraphine POV

The heel of my boots resounded throughout the empty hospital hall as I walked through. A few nurses zipped about, but it seemed everyone mainly kept to themselves. I kept my eyes forward, checking the plaque of each door as I passed. Finally, I found the one I was looking for and stopped. I took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Beep...Beep...Beep...

There was a rhythmic inhale and exhale sound from the oxygen respirator. Each breath filled me with relief that he was still living.

I took the vase from the table and emptied the old water, refilling it with fresh hydration. Inside was Ahri's beautiful pink camellias that she brought, and I wanted to make sure they were well taken care of. I inserted the daisies I bought as well, adding a bit of color to the assortment. When all that was taken care of, I took a seat next to his bedside, brushing a strand of hair from my face.

I smiled weakly as I gazed at the unconscious boy in the bed, but I couldn't hold it for long.

(Y/N)...it's already been a month...

The doctor didn't lie right? He would wake up right?

I just didn't know what to do. Every time I visited and I saw (Y/N) still comatose, my hopes grew dimmer and dimmer. I wanted to believe that he would come back, but it's already been so long.

Seraphine: "Hey (Y/N)...I'm back again."

There was no response, as expected.

Seraphine: "We finished that new song a little bit ago. I think we're all pretty happy with how it turned out."

"......"

Seraphine: "It was kinda funny actually. We had to redo Kai'sa's verse so many times because she kept messing up this one part. Though, I'm pretty sure I messed up more than all of K/DA combined."

"......"

Seraphine: "It's crazy to think that I'm actually doing a song with K/DA. The very people I've looked up to for so long."

"......"

I took his hand, clutching it tightly as I tried my best not to cry.

Seraphine: "Thank you. You told Evelynn to feature me right? If it wasn't for you, I would still be cooped up making covers of old songs, desperately hoping someone would notice me. You've been there for me all this time. But it's always been like that hasn't it?

I fiddled with the hem of my shirt.

Seraphine: "It was my first day on the job, and I was really nervous. You and Ben were so encouraging though. Sucks though that my first customer happened to be a little bit of a jerk."

I laughed reminiscently. 

Seraphine: "Still, that was the first time I ever saw you mad. And probably the last time, too. The face he had when you dumped the drink on his head...it was so wrong, but I couldn't help but feel a little happy, you know? That someone would care about me that much to go that far." I sighed. "I'm sorry. You got fired from that though."

I was quiet for a moment, half-expecting (Y/N) to suddenly pipe up—to finally hear his voice again. I was only left with agonizing silence.

Seraphine: "You were always hung up on paying us back, but it feels like you were the one helping me all this time. From when I first started the job, from when I needed help on homework, and even to when I cried on your shoulder as I thought about giving up everything I worked so hard for. You saw me at my lowest...but sometimes, it's like I can't even see you at all. Like there's this wall around your heart and you keep pushing me away every time I get too close."
