Chapter 108 - The death march finally come to an end

When you realize your time's coming to its end, how do you want to spend your final moment?

The Todoroki family were outside the hospital. They were all silently watching the downpour. It felt as if the sky was crying with them; they finished saying their goodbye and now they're waiting for Michiyo to come out by herself. 

"Even in the very end, Touya-nii hated us all." Fuyumi suddenly said.

"It's his final wish. I have no complaint." Endeavor looked up at the sky. The clouds covered the blue sky, not a sign of the rain coming to a stop. They will be stuck here for a while. "Five years..." 

"Did you manage to tell him all you wanted to say?" Rei asked Endeavor. Saying goodbye to her eldest son was hard. She felt she didn't do enough as a mother to protect her own son. When she chose to stay with Endeavor and burden the sins with him, she was berated as if she was never a victim or deserve to be a victim. Some people ridiculed her for staying with the man who caused her so much suffering but she never cared about the harsh words because she had already decided what she must do. What happened to Touya, it wasn't just Endeavor's fault. If she tried harder to be a mother and not cower away, maybe things could have been different. She will live her remaining days atoning with her husband.

"I still have a lot I want to say." Endeavor started to break down and cry again. He wished there could be a little more time but seeing Touya holding onto life and getting to this point, it was enough for him, right? Extending his life will just cause him to suffer. He listened to Touya's last wish and he made it come true. "He wanted to see Michiyo in his last moments." On the way to watch the rain out here, Endeavor heard nurses whisper about Touya's last wish and they all thought Touya was selfish to see someone else's fiancée instead of his own family. Endeavor didn't care if people whispered about it behind his back because he and his family were prepared for it anyway. His son told him he hate him... but he did thank him and the family for letting him have one final and selfish wish.

"It's going to be hard on Michiyo-chan. It's so unfair." Natsuo thought it was unfair though. "The last goodbye should be for us to burden. We shouldn't push it all on her. Just what is Touya-nii thinking?!" 

"Natsu-nii, that thing we need to tell Michiyo..." Todoroki wondered if Natsuo forgot about it? 

Being reminded of it, Natsuo winced. He didn't want to remember it because it meant Touya will not be here when they need to tell Michiyo about it. "Shouto, have you ever thought about not saying a thing about it to her?" 

"No. I will say it even if you don't say it. Touya-nii won't say it to her in person so we need to be the one to tell her." 

"It's too cruel! What is she supposed to say about that?! She's your fiancée! Touya-nii knows that! It feels as if he's trying to get one last dig at you before he-" 

"I don't think it's cruel on Touya-nii's part. For the first and last time, I get to experience how it feels when two brothers fall for the same girl. We really are brothers; similar taste in food and falling for the same girl." Todoroki never once thought Touya was selfish in what he wanted to ask Michiyo. Todoroki smiled, "I think Michiyo is blessed." 

Natsuo's lips parted slightly but then he couldn't say anything. He sadly smiled and he looked at the rain, listening to the sound of it landing onto the ground. "You're too kind, Shouto. Even though he is so selfish."

The Todoroki family watched the rain, all of them wondering when the rain will come to a stop...
