Kel sighs and wraps his arms around Sunny's waist, pulling him close. "I love you baby." He says quietly.
Sunny, fast asleep, doesn't reply.
Kel's breath hitches and he buries his face in Sunny's hair. Tears prick at his eyes and he shuts them tightly, trying to prevent them from falling.
"I don't want you to leave."
Life hurts so much right now. Sunny's health was declining. Aubrey and Basil were out of town and couldn't do anything to help. Mari and Hero were basically never around, both were always busy with their jobs. And every doctor they went to said they couldn't help and to just let nature take its course.
It hurts.
It hurts so much.
Nothing helps.
No one helps.
"I'm sorry I can't do anything."
Only their pained wishing can keep their hopes up. But only barely.
It hurts.

"Heyyyy Sunny!!" A boy calls from outside.
The dark haired boy turns to the direction of the shout. He turns to his mother. "Mom? Can I go and hang out with Kel?"
"Honey, you're still sick."
"I feel fine, though. So can I?"
His mother sighs. "Alright. Just be careful, okay? And no junk food, you know it's bad for you."
The boy gently stands up. "Thank you, amma." He says, bowing his head before going to the door. He slips on his shoes and opens the door.
A brown haired boy stood on the sidewalk, looking excited, as he always does. "Sunny!! You're here!! You're outside!!" He exclaims, rushing toward his favorite person.
The dark haired boy is enveloped in a tight hug by the brunette. "Hehe, hey Kel!" The noirette chuckles happily. The brunette nuzzles and kisses the noirette's cheek.
"C'mon!! There's a new comic series at Hobbeez!! I want to read it with you!!" The brunette says loudly, pulling the noirette along.
"Oh! What's it called?"
"Parfait girls! It looks kinda girly, but I thought you'd enjoy it!"
"You thought I would enjoy it? Last I checked you liked cutesy things."
The brunette's face reddens heavily. "Shush."
The noirette chuckles softly. "I think it's cute."

Kel sighs quietly, sitting up. He looks over at Sunny, still fast asleep. Kel places his hand gently on Sunny's arm, shaking him gently. "Hey, it's time to wake up." He says softly, coaxing his husband awake.
In the back of his mind, he couldn't help but worry that Sunny wouldn't wake up.
Thankfully, Sunny's eyes flutter open. Kel smiles, letting out a silent sigh of relief. "Hey, good morning baby." Sunny turns over onto his back, staring up at Kel with tired eyes. "Good morning…" He replies, his voice deep and croaky.
