Sleepovers «Juuzou X Reader»

°Help! Not just anybody°

~Your POV~

When I woke up, it was night time. It was just Juuzou and I in the room.

I yawned and looked at Juuzous lifeless face. I missed his smile. I wanted him to hold me and repeat that it'll be okay, but he can't do that if he's the one I'm scared of losing.

I held his hand. His other arm had an IV in it. I wanted him to wake up. I thought he'd never wake up. Pessimism was filling my head.

I heard the door open. Aiko ran in and hugged me. "Mommy, is daddy gonna be okay?" She started to cry.

I kissed the top of her head. I hated that she had to see Juuzou like that. Juuzou was somehow paler then usual. He was incredibly thin and cold. "Aiko, he'll be okay. He loves us and he wouldn't leave us." She was crying harder then the day I found her.

She didn't say anything, I just held her in my arms. Larkin came in with Cosette.

I didn't want to cry in front of Aiko when she was hurting. I had to stay strong.

I rubbed her back to calm her down, as Larkin sat in the other chair.

I stayed holding Aiko until she fell asleep. I was still really tired, but I was emotionally drained.

"I think you need to go home, okay?" Larkin suggested.

"No. I took a nap and that's enough. I'm not leaving Juuzou." I whisper yelled. I was upset that he told me to leave.

"Listen, it's not healthy for you to be here like this."

"I'm not leaving Juuzou. What if he wakes up and I'm not here? What if he dies and I'm not here? I'm not leaving Juuzou. Now please just take the girls home. I'll go out and help you with putting them in the car, but that's it." I stood up and walked out of the room.

Larkin followed me behind. "Fine, but please try to get some rest tonight. You need it."

I let Larkin go ahead in front of me; I didn't know where he parked.

I set Aiko in her car seat and buckled her up, as Larkin buckled Cosette.

Once we where. Done, we hugged each other and said our farewells.

I hurried back into the dull hospital room. I was really tired, but I forced myself to stay up. I was having cup after cup of coffee.

I was all drained of tears, so I couldn't cry.

It was miserable, not knowing if your husband would live. The love of your life.

I didn't want to sleep, but I couldn't help but basically pass out of exhaustion. (Being vegetarian, you get tired easier. I was already tired all the time before I went vegetarian, but it got worse when I cut protein out. It was horrible when I was first vegetarian. I couldn't get out of bed and go to theatre.)

When I woke up, they were doing something to the machines keeping him alive.

I looked out the window, the sun was just coming up.

"Here comes the sun." I whispered.
