"I have cancer."

The sorcerer couldn't believe his ears as he stared at the stream that was opened in front of him. Y/n's, his beloved, showing a small genuine yet sorrowful smile.

"Yeah. Unfortunately, I have cancer."

The liver let out sad chuckles. Shu watching the screen now has tears rolling down his cheeks.

"But don't worry, I'll still stream!... until I die."

No don't say that. You won't die...

Denial. Shu curls up into a ball, his head buried in his knees, silently sobbing.

"Shu, are you watching?"

The purple haired male's head jerks up, looking at the screen as if his life depends on it.

"Baby, I love you so much. Stay strong, yeah?"

Stop. Why are you talking as if you're going to leave...

"Keep living your dream. Keep streaming. No matter what happens. I love you, my little Shubert."

Shu reach out his hand, touching the heated surface of the monitor screen. Tear filled eyes yet full of love.

"I love you too."

The next day, Y/n would stream as if nothing had happened. The day after that. And the day after that. Until, they didn't stream.

All fans, including Shu, anxiously reloading their twitter feed and looking at the time.

Where's Y/n?

Y/n's channel never went live that day. And the day after... Days became weeks, weeks became months, until a year and a half passed.

"Eyyyy, hi chat." Shu started the stream. Despite his heart feeling empty yet heavy he had to stay strong, for his viewers, for his friends, and for you. His stream was live for a few hours until he decided to finally end it.

Shu stretched in his seat before he fell back into it. Gravity got stronger, he suddenly felt very limp and numb. Shu opens up twitter, tweeting his after-stream tweets. He was about to close it but refreshed to him timeline only to see tweets relating to... the death of a streamer he loves dearly.

He knew what they meant. He didn't want to see it. He wished to close the tab but as if his body had a mind of it's own, it clicked.

Rest well, Y/n. The memories will be treasured.

O7 @btdiya
I wonder how Shu is holding up... o7 Y/n

O7 @amogus
I can't handle this. It's so hard accepting it...

Shu's body went limp. He wanted to cry and let it all out yet nothing came out. The man forces himself up and fell on his bed.

Just sleep. Sleep it away.

He couldn't sleep. The sorcerer slowly curled up into a ball, tears running down his face once more. Oh how much he needs you right now...

Hours passed. He hasn't eaten anything. Shu groans as he felt a headache rush in from all the crying. He had no more tears left.

"Stay strong, yeah?"

Shu pushes himself back up with his shaky arms. He had to eat something or he'll die. Die? That's an option...

The man shook his head to ignore the horrible thought. Y/n wouldn't want that.

The messy haired man reaches for his phone and opens twitter, seeing the numbers on his notification page he decides to clear it and maybe mute the tweet everyone was replying in.

The moment he switched to that page his eyes widened. A notification from an account that should have never tweeted anything - an account that went inactive for a year and a half. His shaking fingers clicked the profile.

Shu's Y/n @y/f/n
I'm not dead, idiots.

A knock.

Shu jumped from the bed and ran through his house and burst open the front door, meeting eyes with a color he has missed so much.

"Hello, Shubert."
