Real Strength Comes From Within {Vi X Reader}

Chapter 14: Rebirth

You occupy a special place in the Yuji's heart. He truly believed that you were special. You voluntarily helped him, you cared for him, and you loved him. 

Other people kept on giving him dirty looks and stares, while you..you looked at him with no signs of criticism, no hate. You treated him with utmost care. You supported him. You loved him dearly. You were a friend that he needed, that he wanted to have, that he thought that he could never have. He was more than glad that you existed. 

You led him to a brighter part of the world, away from the negative things. You were the source of his positivity. Just knowing that you were always by his side..it was already enough for him to have his signature grin. Knowing you would hangout with him, it was more than enough for him to be happy for a whole week. But knowing you were here, laying down in this bed, unconscious and having a possibility of dying..it was enough to make him depressed for his whole lifetime. 

Why? Why does it have to be you? Why does it have to be someone important and dear to him? The world was already so cruel to him. 

Now they're taking you too?  Kyouwa kept crying, never-ending tears pouring out. He remained to stare at you, clinging onto the hope of you suddenly waking up, that you were fine. But, he was just naive. He looked at you, " (Y/n)....." He mumbled quietly, then continued in a broken-hearted tone,

" Don't leave me alone... "

{~With Vi~}

The door silently slid open, revealing a familiar female. Violetwalked in the quiet room, an unreadable expression settled in her features as he looked at your unconscious form.

You lie still in your bed, hooked up to various machines that beep and whir. Vi sits beside you, watching over you with a heavy heart. She takes your hand in hers, holding it gently in the suffocating silence of the room, and she can't help but feel a growing sense of despair with each passing moment.

Vi wonders if she and the group made the right decision by bringing you home instead of keeping you in the hospital. She'd read all the medical reports and knew that your condition was serious, but the surgeon assured her that nothing more could be done in the hospital... so perhaps being in your own bed with your favorite blankets and pillows could help in your recovery.

She doesn't know how long he has been sitting there, lost in her thoughts, when she hears the door open. He turns to see Caitlyn, Serah, and Niro entering the room, all looking just as lost as he feels.

"Any news?" Caitlyn asks softly.

Vi shakes her head, not trusting herself to speak. The surgeon said there was nothing more they could do but wait and see if you woke up. It was a waiting game, and they were losing.

Serah moves to the other side of the bed and takes your other hand, offering a small smile. "You're strong, (Y/n). You'll wake up soon, I know it."

Niro grunts in agreement and takes a seat in one of the plastic chairs that they've brought to your apartment. "You better wake up soon, cousin. We got a world to save, and we can't do it without you."

Vi's stomach churns with guilt and anger as she reflects on the events of the past few days. Everything that  Anakin had heard, it was all a sham, a trap set up by a woman  to draw you out into the open and eliminate you. The more she thinks about it, the more it makes sense. It was all too convenient that Anakin was in the perfect place at the perfect time to overhear them eagerly divulge confidential information about their plans.
