I watch as Yoshio moves to stand up. He walks towards a curtain, and rips it from the window. He falls forward and starts to cry in pain while clutching onto his shot wound.

Yoshio...

-Desperate-

Y/N P.O.V

I try to come closer to Yoshio, but his shield keeps on preventing me from coming closer. Tears starts to form on my eyes. I turn to look at Hanasaki in anger. I walk up to him and slaps him across the face.

"Why'd you do that?! You know that I only love Yoshio. I don't see you that way, Hanasaki! You're such a jerk!" I cried out. I keep hitting him in anger, until someone steps in and stops me from hitting Hanasaki. I turn my head to see Nii-Chan.

I burst into more tears at the sight of my adoptive brother. I wrap my arms around him as I start to cry harder. He places his hand on top of my head, gently caressing my hair.

"Help Yoshio, Nii-Chan... I want to help him but I can't even come close to him" I cried out. He places his hand on my shoulder. He turns to look at Yoshio who's still in pain. He reaches down and grabs a pebble. He toss it to Yoshio, only for it to get flicked away by his shield. But his shield seems weaker.

Nii-Chan commented that due to his shield activating in respond to his desire to death. Now that it weakens, it means he wanted to live. It makes my heart aches. What can I do for him?

Nii-Chan walks away without saying anything else. I just keeps staring at Yoshio, wondering what I can do to help. Inoue-Nii takes note of the curtain and how Yoshio laid on top of it.

He suggest that we should try to move him by holding onto each end of the curtain. He tries his best to stand up. I step aside as the two of them try their best to not drop Yoshio, while slowly moving him towards Inoue-Nii's wheelchair.

We're now back at the office. Yoshio is laying on top of the table. He looks so weak and in a lot of pain. I clench my hands into tight fists, feeling utterly useless because I can't save the boy I love. I don't want to ended up losing Yoshio. There has to be something I can do.

"Yoshio... you have to take this medicine" Hanasaki said. He gently squirted some alcohol on Yoshio's wound. He let out a pained sound, making my chest tighten painfully at how much pain his enduring.

"Yoshio, please... at this rate, you're going to die. I don't wanna lose you" I pleaded. Yoshio didn't respond to me and just keeps his eyes close. His breaths sounds shallow and deep, letting me know that he's having a hard time to breathe.

Inoue-Nii said that the only way for Yoshio to survive is he have to have the desire to die. So his power will try to save him from death. But how can we make Yoshio wants to die?

I turn my head to the lift when it makes a sound. I notice a guy, he claims that he's friends with Hanasaki. He invited him to join him to a party. Hanasaki turns his head to look at Yoshio and at me. He closes his eyes and walks away.

I notice Yoshio slowly opening his eyes. He turns his gaze to look at Yoshio. He blinks his eyes as they start to swell up with tears.

"Yoshio

"Yoshio..." I said, staring at him with a sad expression. He turns to look at me and closes his eyes. The shield around him starts to get stronger. I watch as the bullet moves out of the wound.

I let out a sigh of relief. At least now his wound won't be infected now that the bullet is out. But he will get weaker if he keeps losing blood. I try to come close again, but his shield prevents me.

"That kiss means nothing to me. You're the only one I love. I swear... I don't want anyone else but you. I love you, Yoshio. Only you... please believe me" I said, in the softest voice I could muster. I lift my hand and let out a sigh of relief when Yoshio's shield didn't activate on me.

I quickly move to his side and gently place my hand on his wound. My hand glows a soft f/c, as his wound starts closing. His face relax a a little as the pain inflicted by his wound decreased.

"I can only heal your wound... but you've lost too many blood, Yoshio. So you need to rest" I said. He just nod his head weakly. I choke out a sob as I place my head on his chest. "Thank you for believing in me, Yoshio. I love you, so much" I said. I feel his hand gently place on top of my head.

"I love you too..." he whispered softly. I hear a soft snore not long after that. I pull away slightly to see that he had fallen asleep. I just smile softly and place my hand on top of his head. I brushed the hair away from his face. I lean down and place a soft kiss on his forehead.

I lean my back against the backrest of the couch. There's food on the table for all of us. I'll eat them later. I can't move much since Yoshio is laying next to me with his head rested on my lap. I play with his hair as he sleeps peacefully.

I notice his nose moving a little as he sniffs the scent of the foods. He opens his mouth. I let out a gasp as all the food is sucked by him. He's not joking when he said his body would suck any food in desperation to keep him well.

I smile softly as I caress his cheek. He lift his hand and grab my hand. He gently moves it, letting our hand rest on his chest. He entwine our hands. I close my eyes as I smile softly as I continue to play with his hair with my other hand. A soft smile appear on his lips as he slowly drift off to a deeper sleep.

"Get well soon, Yoshio..." I whispered softly. I lean my head on the backrest. I close my eyes and let myself drift off to sleep. I can relax easy now that I know Yoshio will be alright.
