Onodera Ritsu.

I layer there for a moment. No one told me anything. The feeling of vomiting coming on my throat for the fifth time this week.

I heard the door knob twist and open. Seeing Takano coming in, his bangs covering his eyes.

"Takano?" I called, 'what's with him?'

He didn't say anything, except that he came closer to me. Then he gave me a hug, a tight one. This shocked me, I couldn't say anything.

"T-Takano. Y-your scaring me." I said.

I felt his grip tighten, and then something warm and wet meet the clothe of my shoulder.

'Is he......crying?'

Takano. Crying...

"Takano?" I called again, feeling my voice choke. "What's wrong?" I asked, still chocking.

"I'm sorry." He whispered, his grip tighten. I noticed that my hands gripped on his sleeves. Then tears streaking down my face.

"Takano....please...." I begged.

He kissed me deeply, lovingly. Thats when I knew something was wrong. This kiss, it was as if......as if he knows I might leave.

"Ritsu." He called.

I put my hands on his cheeks, feeling his warm tears.

"Tell me.." I begged, feeling my own tears river down.

"I love you...." he whispered.

Now I know something is wrong.

"Takano! Tell me! You scaring me!" I finally shouted.

He didn't say anything through a thick silence, that's when his eyes met mine. The loneliness in those eyes, a lost soul in them. I nearly broke down just by meeting that gaze.

"You have Stomach Cancer....." he said.

I froze.
