Curses - Luxiem + Shxtou Fanfic (ft. VoxTo and ShuCa)

~Chapter 1~

Welcome to the first chapter of Curses! I hope you enjoy ^^ Also, sorry if this isn't the best story. I tried.

Vox held Shoto's hand tightly, praying that he would survive the disease. Vox looked up at Shoto, "Please live for me Shoto." Vox whined as he rubbed Shoto's hand. Vox looked at Shoto's body and looked away. Vox wasn't typically allowed in the room because Shoto's disease can spread to others. The condition is also very deadly. It's a miracle that Shoto is even breathing.

The doctors didn't let Vox inside the room for his safety, but Shoto was getting better and he was healing so they allowed him in for a limited amount of time. Vox looked back at Shoto and smiled, "You look so peaceful laying there." He said as a tear ran down his face. It had been a month since Vox was able to touch Shoto's body. It hurt him a lot.

"Mr. Akuma, your time is up," A young lady said quietly. Vox wanted to pretend that he didn't hear her, but that would be too rude. Vox kissed Shoto's hand one last time and smiled, "I'll be back soon...dear." The young lady smiled as she heard those words. Vox walked out and sighed, "Will he survive?" Vox asked. The young lady looked at Vox. His face looked pale, a little too pale.

"I'm sorry, we still don't have enough information. It might take another month before we find out what he has. We've never seen anything like this before," The young lady said. She sounded like she was scared to say it. Vox's face looked upset. He looked angry, sad, and even dead.

Vox looked at the young lady and nodded, "Thank you. I'll be going." He said and walked off.

Vox sat in his car for about an hour before he decided to call Ike. He needed someone to talk to. Vox sat there waiting for Ike to answer, but nothing happened. Ike didn't answer his phone. Vox sighed and tried to call Mysta and again, no answer.

"What are they doing?" Vox asked as he looked around. He looked at the time and groaned, "8:45 already... damn." He turned the car on and leaned back for a second. He didn't want to leave Shoto, but he had no choice. Vox hated to be in a cold empty bed. Going back to the same dark and gloomy room made Vox uncomfortable and depressed.

Shoto would always make Vox happy. He made Vox warm inside and laugh. But without Shoto, Vox could barely look at others.

The thought of losing Shoto or any of his friends scared him. He couldn't bare seeing them die. Vox just couldn't take that thought and he would always try to distract himself from that thought.

Vox opened the door to the house that Luxiem lived in along with Shoto. As Vox walked inside all of his friends rushed up to him to try and make him feel better. Ike looked at Vox, "So...how did it go?" He asked as if Vox went to a job interview. Vox stared at the ground. There was an awkward silence that filled that room. Luca went up to Vox and dragged him to the living room.

"It's going to be ok Vox," Luca said as he put him on the couch and rushed into the kitchen to get some water. Mysta sat beside Vox and messed with his hair. Vox still said nothing.

"Come on Vox. Cheer up. I know Shoto. He won't die so easily," Mysta tried to cheer up Vox, but like every other day, Vox didn't smile. He didn't laugh. He just sat there. Quiet. Shu looked at Ike and sighed, "Vox, please. You can't be like this for the rest of your life! Just because Shoto is in the hospital, it doesn't mean you can't be happy!" Shu said. He sounded annoyed. Shu hated to see his friend so depressed.

Ike went to Shu, "Calm down. Give him time, he's heartbroken and scared. Just give him some time." Ike whispered. Shu sighed and nodded. Vox then got up and grabbed his stuff, "I'll be in...my...room." Vox said and walked off.

Mysta looked down and closed his eyes, "I wish we could make him happy. . .but nothing we say and do. . .nothing works." Mysta cried. Ike went to Mysta and rubbed his back, "Vox just needs some time to relax and understand that everything is ok. Just give him time."

Mysta got up and looked at Shu and then at Ike, "Yeah. . .he just needs time." He walked away. Mysta also hated the fact that Shoto was in the hospital. Mysta didn't like to see Vox in this much pain. Luca walked back into the living room and looked around, "Um...where did he go?" He asked Ike. He turned to Luca, "He's back in his room."

Luca sighed, sat on the couch, and turned on the TV, "Wanna watch something with me?" He invited Ike. Ike smiled, "Sure why not."

Vox looked at his phone for a while. It was like he was waiting to see if he would get a message about Shoto. Vox laid back and put his arm over his eyes, "I shouldn't have donethat to you..." Vox cried. He remembered that fight they had before Shoto ran out. He could remember all the nasty things he said that Shoto. He regretted it all. Everything that he said and did. He regrets doing it. He knew how much it hurt Shoto and now Vox will probably never get to see him again.

He had begun to lose hope that Shoto will ever return to him. Vox wondered if maybe, just maybe, if he didn't let Shoto leave that night if Shoto would be safe in his arms once more. It hurt Vox. His thoughts were like torture. There to ruin your life and make you do bad things, make you think bad things, make you say bad things. Vox ached as curled up all alone in his bed. It was cold and lonely being in that room. It was killing Vox. Not being able to tell his loved one sorry, not being able to laugh with his loved one, not being able to hug his loved one.

It made Vox cry and scream in pain. Shu, Luca, Mysta, and Ike rushed as fast as possible to Vox's room. "What happened?!" Shu asked, worried for his friend. Vox looked at all of them wide-eyed. Ike rushed over to his side along with Mysta, "What happened Vox?" Ike asked. Vox closed his eyes as tears began to run down his face.

"I can't do it anymore... It's all my fault way he's in the hospital," Vox cried. Mysta held Vox and rubbed his head softly as if he was calming a child from a nightmare.

"It's not your fault Vox, why would it be? Because you fought with him? No. Shoto got sick, that's all. Now he just needs some time to heal." Mysta said calmly. Luca sat on that bed and Shu sat in the chair. They all talked for hours until Vox fell asleep. Ike smiled as he saw Vox sleep peacefully. Mysta got up and looked at Luca who was almost asleep.

"Luca! Wake up!" Mysta whispered and giggled. Ike got up and covered Vox with one of Shoto's blankets, which made Vox smile. Shu was the last one to get up. He didn't say much and he looked quite pale. Luca groaned and looked around, "What?" He asked as Mysta 'Shh' him. Luca nodded as he looked at Shu, who wasn't looking good. Luca went to Shu, "Hey, Shu...? Are you ok?" He asked.

Shu groaned and nodded, "Y-Yeah...I'm just tired." Shu got up and almost fell. He groaned in pain, "I'm fine." He whined. Luca looked at Shu, "Are you sure? You don't look fine..." Luca grabbed Shu. His body was cold. Ike and Mysta looked at Luca with worry. Luca walked out of the room. He set Shu on the couch and Shu groaned. He wouldn't let go of Luca.

"Babe, let go please," Luca begged, but Shu groaned. Mysta looked at Shu and Luca then at Ike, "Do you think...?" Ike shook his head, "Shu could just be tired and cuddly. We can take him to the hospital tomorrow if he isn't feeling better." Ike said and Mysta nodded. Shu started to cough which caused him to let go of Luca. Shu started coughing up blood and something purple on Shu's neck. It looked like a rash but it was purple. Shu rubbed his neck and coughed more. Luca was trying to help Shu along with Mysta. Ike rushed to the kitchen to get Shu a cup of water.

Tears started to run down Shu's face. Shu wasn't able to breathe and he wouldn't stop coughing up blood. Luca was panicking and Mysta was trying to call the hospital. Ike looked at Shu and saw tons and tons of blood. His eyes went wide and Luca grabbed Shu and took him to the car, "I'll take him! Ike come with me! Mysta, you stay and watch over Vox!" Luca yelled. Mysta nodded as Ike got in the car and Luca rushed Shu to the hospital.
