Seiya x Reader Scenarios

How he made me cry

This scenario and the two following are requests from @MylaByers! As always, thank you for your requests!

The first time I felt true despair was when Seiya returned after his battle with Hades, his body limp and lifeless, just as his eyes. With a heavy heart Saori informed me that Seiya's soul was sealed within his body because of Hades' sword, making Seiya unable to sense anything, let alone move his body.

It was like he was in a coma.

I tried to be hopeful and rented a place for me and Seiya to live. Saori reassured me that she would try to cure Seiya but so many attempts were failed. Doctors couldn't find a logical solution, legends and myths said in every country were discovered to be useless for Seiya's condition and every hope started to feel like a weight on my heart.

After one year of his brothers desperately trying out anything to save Seiya, I finally broke.

I was sitting at his bedside when Shiryu returned. He was on the search for a miracle healer who apparently could heal anyone but seeing how he returned empty handed just gave me enough answers. Trying to suppress a sob, I looked back to my sleeping boyfriend "Another failure, huh?"

Crestfallen, Shiryu couldn't even look me in the face "I'm so sorry..."

"You don't have to. I am sure that you did everything you could."

While I was just sitting around...

It was at that time that Seiya opened his eyes, having seemingly awakened from his slumber. Smiling, I brushed his bangs from his eyes "Good morning, Seiya. Have you slept well?" I stood up and pushed the wheelchair in position "Let's get you dressed and then you can enjoy some fresh air."

Clenching his fists, Shiryu stared at the floor "I... I'm sorry."

"What are you sorry about now?" Smiling, I tilted my head to get a look at Shiryu's face "Hm? What is going on?"

Hesitantly, Shiryu stepped closer to me "Because we were of no help, Seiya..."

"It was Seiya's decision to step in the way of Hades' sword. Even if one of you stepped up, I'm sure that Seiya would have taken your place." It was an argument I already did dozens of times, may it be with Shun or Hyoga, even with Saori who blamed herself for her saint's injury "You shouldn't have to blame yourself for it."

"But..." His fists were shaking "You are suffering so much because of it. Both of you."

Surprised, my smile faltered and I met the blazing eyes of the dragon, shaking because of grief. The pain in my heart intensified and I had to sit at the bedside to not fall to the ground. Placing a palm above my chest, I tried to suppress the grief in myself "I always... knew that one day something bad would happen..." I took a deep breath to stealth myself "But everytime he left... I always thought that death would be the worst that could happen... Never did I think that-" I suppressed a sob, not wanting to break. Feeling pity, Shiryu tried to place his palm on my shoulder but I shook my head "The worst think about all of this... isn't the fact that Seiya might not wake up... but that I can't do anything to help him."

"Is this how you really feel?"

Finally a tear slipped down my cheek "Seiya might end up dying but all I can do is sit here and pray for someone to stop it." Letting the tears fall freely, I just let Shiryu pat my back, begging him to help Seiya somehow.
