!! Trigger Warning !! Remembering death, gore

...

I finally got a text from Amber; only weeks later, informing me she was going to a funeral. Must've been that girl that allegedly commits suicide; Amber's been struggling. Suddenly, there was a knock on my window.

"Yīkào... you idiot..." opening up the window for him to climb in, "You're should be at the hospital"

"You can't blame me for wanting to see you... can you?" I couldn't blame him; not at all. "I brought my heart monitor this time," wrapping his arms around me and I immediately wrapped him back. His hugs always made me feel better, and that homework didn't exist; he didn't let go of me.

About his heart monitor, though, the doctor said because of the transplant that if his heart rate is too high, it'll explode... I don't want that to happen to him. I set us both down on my bed and took his heart monitor so I can look after him.

"Amber offered us to come to Isabella's funeral. Are you coming?" Yīkào wasn't even allowed to go anywhere apart from the toilet... but I'm a bad influence because he's in my bed right now.

"Definitely I am," I glanced up at him, his eyes teasing me. Telling me to do something, but I ignored it and nuzzled into his chest.

"I'm gonna go too, with you, and we can make Amber happy. Plus Isabella's colleagues are going too. They were all invited." Anteiku was the place Isabella was working at and apparently living too. Her life must've been tough if she ended her life with no surrounding family or lovers.

Life was quiet before I gazed back up at him. Despite living in the hospital for most of his life, his appearance as a teenager was good- making me jealous. I then remembered that I wanted to show Yīkào a music band. It made me feel good... helping him to save me 10 years ago and also to spend more time with him again.

I wish this will never end.

"I-I wanted to show you something. It's a band I've been listening to for a while- I think you may like them," grabbing my phone on my nightstand and going to Spotify; the band I've been listening to is called 'Set It Off', just something about their songs make me feel at ease and I can just listen to them nonstop. I figured out what songs I could play to him before giving him the right earbud of my wired headphones- I took the left side and played him a few songs while remaining eye contact. We got one of my favourite songs, 'The Haunting'.

"I like this song. So angry..." smiling and intertwining his fingers with mine, it felt nice, "When I get my phone back I'll listen to this every day for you"

"O-Oh you don't-" I tilted my head as my door opened, my dad scoffing at the door of seeing Yīkào; it's a regular occurrence at this rate.

"Hi, Mr Quinn. Pleasant morning, isn't it?"

"You should be in hospital; come on, the ambulance is waiting for you outside," I wanted Yīkào to stay for longer and hold him, but I knew he wasn't up to full health yet and probably won't be until they find some medicine to make sure his heart doesn't explode on him.

"It was nice seeing you for a short time, Adam," giving me a kiss on the head, which I blushed at. He hushed Yīkào out my bedroom and downstairs. I wanted to rush downstairs and hold him in my arms for 2 more minutes... but it was too late now.

My dad came back upstairs to my room and saw my disappointment.

"Kiddo... I know you're upset that you can't hang out with him, but he's unstable and you know that," I don't want to believe that he's unstable; in my mind he's completely fine, and I will continue to believe that.
