Tw: death of a loved one, funeral, depression, hospital, coma

Third person:

Kit sits there as his boyfriend over a year lays there in the hospital bed, iv, and a breathing tube connected to him. Kit hasn't left River's side, obviously to go home and shower, but it's only for like an hour max

Alice has postponed the filming of season four as there has been so much stress that has been put on kit. He can barely memorise his lines. And he can't stop thinking about river

Time flys past, a week, its Christmas, two weeks, its new years, a month, valentines day, three months, past kits birthday, four months, past rivers birthday, month after month, kit stayed by rivers side even though seeing his boyfriend in a coma broke him

Every day, seeing his boyfriend laying there helpless, doctors attaching things to him every day or something like that makes kit feel like he's messed up as a boyfriend

But there was one specific day, a Wednesday, 17th of August, a little over two years of them dating. Kit was sitting next to River talking to him like he does every day

Doctors every once in a while walking over, checking on how river is doing, but this day was different

Doctors came more frequently like every half an hour, it was 4:29pm, kit was just coming back from the bathroom when he hears the alarm

probably another kid getting scared over a needle again. Kit thought

As kit made his way back over to rivers hospital room, the alarm gets louder as if it's coming from the room he was making his way over to

He quickens his pace and walks into the hospital room. Over ten doctors were in there surrounding his boyfriend, worried looks on their faces and frantic movements being made

Kit trys to get through them, tears welling in his eyes. Three doctors notice this and try to move kit out of the room

"No, let me in!" Kit crys

"I'm sorry, sir, but we can't let you in." One doctor says

"T-thats my boyfriend! He's my boyfriend! What's happening!?" Kit says, crying terrified

"Sir, we don't know!" Another doctor says, trying to keep his cool

Two doctors lead Kit out of the room and sit him on a chair, one stays with kit comforting him while the other gets called back in

After what seems like hours, a nurse walks out, and she has tears in her eyes while other doctors walk out with river's clipboard and stuff that have been previously keeping him alive

Kit stands up, looking at the nurse

"I am so sorry to inform you, but your boyfriend River seabrook has been pronounced dead about five minutes ago." she says gently

Kits eyes shoot up he's shaking his head from side to side, laughing with tears in his eyes

"Alright, alright, funny joke,"

"Mr Connor, I'm sorry, but this is not a joke. we did everything to save him," she says

It suddenly hits kit, he falls to his knees, and bursts into tears, sobbing uncontrollably

~~~~~~~~~~

IM SO SORRY FOR THIS, BUT IVE NEVER BEEN TO A FUNERAL SO IM JUST GUESSING ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS

The sombre sky mirrored the heaviness in Kit's heart as he stood among the mourners, each face a reflection of shared grief. River's absence echoed through the air, a void too vast to comprehend.

Kit stands in the hallway of their empty house. It felt so quiet without River here. Kit stands there looking at the hallway mirror, fixing his tie

He sighs before putting on his shoes and making his away over to the church

In the quiet chapel, whispers of memories danced around, celebrating River's vibrant spirit. Kit found solace in those moments, clinging to the echoes of laughter and warmth that River brought into his life.

As the ceremony began, words of love and remembrance painted the air, honouring River's journey and the mark he left on every soul he touched. Kit sat, surrounded by friends and family, holding onto memories like fragile keepsakes.

The eulogy painted a portrait of River's essence—a canvas of kindness, love, and the unwavering courage he embodied. Tears flowed freely, mingling with shared embraces, as each mourner carried their own piece of river within them.

They all soon made their way down to the graveyard kit standing at the front next to his parents and rivers parents

The final farewell arrived, marked by the gentle lowering of River's casket, a symbolic descent into the earth. Kit's heart clenched, the reality settling in, whispering the permanence of loss.

Yet, amid the sorrow, a flicker of hope emerged—a promise to cherish the legacy River left behind, to carry his light forward in every smile, every act of kindness, and every moment of love shared.

As the ceremony drew to a close, Kit stood by River's final resting place, whispering a silent vow to honour their love, forever preserving River's memory in the sanctuary of his heart

"River I'm so sorry I couldn't save you" his eyes start to well up and his voice starts to break "I am so so so fucking sorry"

Joe stands behind kit his hand on kits shoulder while kit his crouched by the side of the tombstone

"You have made my life so much better, you have made me a better man and I am so grateful that I was able to meet you" Kit says while crying now "i-i love you so so so much, please never ever forget that"

Kit broke down at that last sentence and joe sat next to him and hugs him tight rubbing his back

Kit looks up at the sky knowing his boyfriend is up there looking down at him telling him to continue and to never ever give up
