Still 🖤

Concept: Kaminari is really sick, but he doesn't want Jirou to worry about him. When things get worse, Jirou promises to stick by his side

(Kaminari's POV)

"You're going on another trip? For how long?"

"Just a few days, love. I'll be back on Monday."

"Okay...well, be safe. I'll be here when you get back."

I don't deserve her. She loves me so much, and she trusts me. She doesn't even ask why I go on these trips. That's a relief for me because I don't have the heart to tell her the truth just yet.

I hate leaving her so much, but maybe it'll all be worth it.

The truth is, I've been traveling to different places to see if they can help me. I've been in contact with several different doctors and hospitals. So far, I've been to three, and they couldn't help me.

It's only a matter of time before things start to get worse. I have to do this stuff now.

I have a brain tumor. An uncommon one. Surgery to remove it is extremely complicated and difficult. If I can't get this treated in the next few months, I'll be dead.

This next hospital I'm visiting is my last hope. The doctor sounded optimistic when I talked to them on the phone, so I'm hoping they can help me.

I'm going in for a consultation, and then hopefully, we can discuss treatment. That's the plan.

"Alright, Mr. Kaminari, we have good news and bad news."

"What is it?"

"The good news is we can help you. We can do the surgery."

I gasped a little. This was the news I've been waiting for.

"But we don't have much time. We'll have to do the surgery within the next two weeks."

I nod, "I can do that."

"But there's about a thirty percent failure rate."

"I'll still do it."

"And...there is a slight chance you might lose your memory in the process."

What?

"Slight chance? Like, how slight?"

"About a fifty percent chance."

My heart dropped.

I could lose my memory. It's basically up to a coin flip.

If I do the surgery, I could lose my memory.

But if I don't, I'll die.

I thought about it for a moment.

It's better to try. I can't just sit here and let this thing eat away at my life. I can't just sit here and do nothing.

"I'll do the surgery."

When I got back home, the house was quiet.

"Kyo? Are you here?" I call.

She walks out of our room, but she didn't greet me with a hug or a kiss like she usually does.

"Hey-"

"Why didn't you tell me?" She spoke firmly.

"What..?"

She looked me in the face, tears in her eyes, "Why didn't you tell me you're dying?"

She said she went to use my laptop while I was gone, and she saw the emails from the different hospitals. She wasn't mad at me, just frustrated.
