"Ah, Dr. Tsukishima"
You smiled as the blonde went in your room. He placed his clipboard on your nightstand and sat on the chair beside your bed. "I told you to call me Kei"
You chuckled. "Kei-kun, how's my leukemia?" A frown formed on his lips. He didn't want you to ask that, he swear that he could feel a part of him dying whenever you asked such a question about your disease.
"Fine"
You quirk an eyebrow, slightly gripping the bedsheets that warmed your legs. "The truth?" He sighed, placing his arms on your bed. "Getting worst"
Instead of frowning or getting teary eyed, you faintly smiled. "I see"
This is what Tsukishima hates. You, just smiling about your disease slowly killing your health. "Why are you even smiling?" He mumbled as he laid his head on your bed but look at the other side, which the back of his head was facing you.
You reached his blonde tresses, gently caressing them. "Is it bad for me to smile?" He closed his eyes, letting the soothing feeling from your hand flow.
Your smile widened, knowing he loved the feeling. You bend your head to kiss his cheek, causing him to flinched with your sudden action. "Have a rest"
But he didn't want. He want you to be cured, alive, be right there for him and always smiling. However, he was already late. Abnormal white blood was slowly eating your red blood cells (from what I have understood) and soon, you'll .. He couldn't say it.
He just .. can't accept
"I need to go" he stood up but stopped when your hand gripped on his. "What?" You pouted, patting (using the other hand) where he laid earlier.
"Stay for awhile"
Spend time with me, while I still can.
He looked away.
Why did this happened? Why not him instead of you? That kept on running on his mind as he just watched you smile despite the sickness, you are having.
He sighed as he did what you wanted. You smiled, caressing his blonde tresses as he looked at you. Then you caresses his cheek. "Kei, thank you"
"Don't say that"
His hand overlaps yours, rubbing his thumb on your knuckles. "Don't say that" he repeated, not knowing what to say next as you only nodded.
You decided to change the subject. "How's Kuroo-kun and Bokuto-kun?" He rolled his eyes, once he heard those names.
"They've been a pain in the ass since they saw me" you giggled.
Your hand was still on his cheek, caressing it while he talks about his day, about how tiring his work is and everything that made you smile or either make you giggle.
This pains him. He squeezed your hand, just you were talking about the funny moment you had yesterday. "And she said I was big enough!" you laughed.
"Kei-kun?"
"Mm, I'm listening"
You smiled, this time holding his hand. "I know that I am the one who broke first our relationship and yet I am still the one starting to get affectionate this time" as you intertwined your fingers with his.
"You could say this is flirting" you giggled.
"It was for a reason" he cleared it up as you only nodded. "For a reason"
"Stop doing that, making things hard" he mumbled, looking away. "I'm sorry" you apologized, using your other hand to ruffle his blonde hair.
"Kei-kun"
"Mm?"
He looked up at you, to see your eyes filled with seriousness and could say a little sorrow. It wasn't the same eyes that were full of life and cheerfulness.
"Please spend time with me before my lifespan ends"
This time, he didn't complain nor ignored it

A/N: So, I don't know how to end this, supposedly you die in this one-shot but I changed it. So, yeah kinda suck.
