If I fall, would you catch me? (Magi x Reader)

Prologue

(y/n)'s P.O.V.

"-n)!"

"..."

"(y/n)!"

Huh? Someone's calling for me? I know that voice, since it used to call my name ever since I can remember.

"(y/n)! Come on (y/n), wake up!" I heard the cheerful and familiar voice saying.

I then felt something, or rather someone, shaking me softly and as I slowly opened my (e/c) eyes, I saw a boy at my age. We looked pretty much alike. I recognized him right away.

"Shin-nii..." I said sleepy. A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Hehe~ looks like you're finally awake." He said with a bright smile.

His smile always reminds me oft he sun, is what I thought before asking,

"Shin-nii, I'm dreaming again, aren't I?"

"..." He kept silent.

I've never liked it, when you kept silent.

"Well, I guess that means yes. You know, I really miss you."

He still didn't say a word, so I just kept going.

"Onii-chan, you know, when you left I felt like I was about to die as well. I just don't know what to do anymore, cause since you disappeared the only thing I could see was darkness..."

I stared at the ground and my bangs were now covering my eyes as they turned slightly golden.

"I couldn't even see the stars anymore. Why... why did you leave me?" I asked with a shaking voice.

Then he finally spoke, "There was nowhere to go but everywhere, so just keep in rolling under the stars... So you still remember." He gave me a soft smile.

"Of course I remember. You used to tell me these words whenever I was down after all. We would then look at the sky and see the stars shining bright above us. It always made me feel better."

My eyes returned to their original (e/c) color.

"I'm happy to hear that. Look." He said, as he pointed at the night sky.

I looked up and for the first time in five years, I could see the stars once again. Again it was quiet. But this time I felt at peace. It was a comfortable silence. We both just sat there holding each other's hand on a wide grassland, surrounded by my favourite flowers: forget-me-not. I coulnd't help but wish that this moment would last forever. But even so, it was all pointless, since my brother was already... dead.

After what felt like a small eternity, my brother finally broke the silence.

"You haven't changed at all (y/n), though you look a little older now."

"Neither have you." I said slightly smiling.

"It's almost time." He said as he looked at me with a smile. But this time it wasn't the cheerful smile he used to show me. This time his smiled looked sad... just as if he was pitying me.

But why? Why would you pity me? You of all people... You shouldn't look at me that way. After all, I ain't the one who died...

Just then I felt tears streaming down my face. My eyes were probably entirely golden by now. I slowly opened my mouth to say the words I've wanted to say for so long now, but couldn't say out loud, because they were just way too selfish.

"Please... stay. Don't leave me alone."

Once again he kept silent. His bangs were now covering his eyes, so that i couldn't see his expression.

I already knew that it was impossibe for him to stay, but I just couldn't...

No... It's not like I CAN'T let go of him, because even if he's gone, I will still have to keep on living. It's just that I DON'T WANT to let go of the only person who ever truly understood me.

Finally, Shin said something.

" I'm sorry (y/n). Please take care, and good luck."

He was about to leave, when suddenly he turned around to face me one last time.

"Oh right, I almost forgot..."

"...?"

"Happy birthday little sis." He said it with a bright smile, even so I could still see the tears forming in his eyes.

"Happy birthday Onii-chan."

-And thus, on the day of their 17th birthday, (y/n) was about to start the adventure of her life.-
