After few more days, you and Chuuya grew closer, went to all kinds of place you used to go and did all kinds of things you used to do.

In this time, you became more open and he became friendlier towards you.

One morning though, everything you managed to built between you two, came down in a matter of seconds...

08/11/2023
That morning, you woke up and did whatever you used to do every morning. In the meantime, you realised that Chuuya wasn't home. He was at work as always.

After eating breakfast, you sat in front of the TV as you did every morning when Chuuya was at work. You noticed that an envelope was laying on the coffee table, thing that was strange because Chuuya's house was always flawless, not a piece of dust on that table, let alone, an envelope!

Out of curiosity, you picked it up and saw that it was already opened. You guessed that it was a bill, like the electric, water bill, that he opened in the morning but forgot to file away.

Wrong...

In this envelope you found the most heartbreaking thing you could ever imagine.

You read and read and read the papers again and again but nothing changed. The latter kept telling you the same.

For some reason, it all started make sense, him being tired every day, even when he wasn't working, being in an off mood, everything...

You passed the next two hours just looking at this paper.

He was going to die. He was going to die in two months...

You read it again.

And that's when it hit you. He was going to die.

After the realisation, you mechanically got up, grabbed your jacket and walked out of the house.

You went to the roof. The weather seemed rainy. Black clouds had covered the sky and thunders echoed. You didn't care when it started raining, you just kept walking closer and closer, closer to edge...

[...]

That's what he needed now, rain.

Yeah, it was early for him to leave work but Mori let him leave earlier today. He knew that he was hard for him, the diagnosis...

And on top of that, he had to walk all the way home in the rain. And also, the hardest part, he had to tell you...

When he finally arrived home, it came strange to him that you weren't there, very strange.

He tried to look for you at your bedroom, in the kitchen but you were nowhere. Then, he went to the living but he didn't found you there too.

That's when he saw it, the envelope. He remembered going through it this morning and turns out, he didn't file away. And worse thing of all, the papers were out when he clearly remembered that he had put them in the envelope.

Right then, he ran out of the house, towards the roof of the building. How could he be so stupid and leave this "bomb" in plain view! Now, he just hoped that he would made it in time...

[...]

The air felt cold against your skin. But you didn't care, in while, everything would come to an end.

Right when you were about to take your last step, the door swang opened and in a matter of seconds, Chuuya was holding you in his arms.

Chuuya: You promise you wouldn't do this again!!!

He said but didn't got an answer.

Chuuya: Y/n, please don't do this again...
Y/n: Why?
Chuuya: B-because...-
Y/n: What would my life mean without you when you die? I will be alone since I can't go back to my life...
Chuuya: Y/n...

He said but didn't continue.

Chuuya: Y/n, I want you together with me...

He said and then you felt water on your skin, and it wasn't the rain. It was his tears. He was crying...

Chuuya: Please, I can't go through this alone...

He said and held you tighter.

You reached his cheeks and wiped his tears.

Y/n: What will I do without you...

You said tearing up.

Y/n: Are you sure there's no cure?
Chuuya: I'm sorry Y/n...
Y/n: No...

You said and started crying.

Chuuya: Please Y/n, stay with me...

You hugged him tighter.

Y/n: You won't be alone...

You said, trying to be brave.

Y/n: I'll never leave you, I promise you to my life.
Chuuya: Thank you Y/n, thank you...

He said and pulled you closer.
