What you Missed

The Price

I do not own KDA, LoL, or anything referenced.

-Grey POV two weeks after last chapter-

I groan and try to move as my body screams in agony. "F-Fuck." I groan out and try to grab my throat. When I move my arm I cough violently.

"I told you it was life threatening." ??? says and I turn my head so I can see her out the corner of my eye. "Was it worth it? You could have let them die so you could weaken it." She asks and I look at the ceiling.

"I want to die anyway. But dying to protect them. I'll regret nothing." I say and she sits on the bed.

"Why do you wish to die?" She asks.

"All my life I've felt like an outsider. My parents and older sisters made my life happy...made me feel like I belonged. When my younger siblings were born I became chopped liver." I say and she nods.

"What about all of your fans? Your music career." She says.

"They don't know what goes on behind our masks. I become a different person with it, cause I know I can be free." I tell her and she nods again.

"What about your friends? Obviously they would care if you died." She says and I sigh.

"They don't need me. They deserve a friend that doesn't consistently lie to them. They all have amazing careers if they want them. But no, they settled for dealing with my music." I say and she nods again.

"You may think that now. But you'd be surprised just how much effect you have on the people around you. Just stay strong." She says and I look at her.

"Why do you care so much?" I ask and she smiles at me.

"One day child. Good luck." She says and vanishes in a white and black mist.

"What?" I say to myself before the door opens. I see my mother come in with the rest of my family.

"My baby boy!" Mother screams loudly and jumps on the bed hugging me. I grunt in pain at the pressure on my body.

"Dear you're hurting him." Dad says and Mom hugs me tighter.

"We almost lost our only son! I need to hold him so he can't die!" She cries and I feel tear drops falling onto my head. "Oh my Baby Boy. I've been too relaxed in my training!" She sobs more and I look at my Dad.

"The hell is going on old man?" I ask weakly. Guess that conversation took more out of me than I thought. Dad walks over with Byleth and Fiora. (Should I do a chapter for the family?)

"You were close to death Grey. It took three days just to stabilize you. Even then no one was allowed to see you. They brought in a specialist and whatever you did was draining your blood and life force. Thankfully they were able to fix it before anything was permanent. If you do that again...they might not be able to save you." He says and I nod.

"I forbid you from ever doing that again! I don't care how many people die!" Byleth demands and I look at her.

"I can't promise anything Byleth." I tell her.

"Good thing I wasn't asking." She says looking into my eyes.

"How is everyone doing?" I ask quickly changing the subject.

"Not taking it well Kiddo. The girls have been hyper aggressive towards anything with a pulse. Shina has been by everyday begging to at least see you." Dad says and I frown.

"I'll have to see her after I get out." I say and gasp in pain as Mom hugs tighter.

"You're never leaving my sight again!" She sobs louder.
