"No. . . no. . . Zurui, no. . . don't leave me. . . ZURUI!!"

Ootori Kyoya shot out of a disturbed state of sleep, heart racing and breaths raging. Once again, he had been dreaming about her. Zurui Takishima.

The dream was the same as it always was every single night. . .

"Kyoya, I'll never leave you. . . I'll always stay with you. . ."

The young Ootori stared at her, smiling gently. "Likewise Zurui. . . I'll never leave you because I—!"

Those were all the young boy could say before darkness took over, and she suddenly disappeared, leaving Kyoya wide-eyed and yelling at her to return.

In place of where Zurui stood moments ago, bloomed a dark blue rose. Which shattered right before Kyoya's eyes, the pieces swirling upwards and changing colours, until they formed a white carnation.

Zurui's voice, just as it always did, sang out. . .

"Cherished; Loved,
Parting,
A blue rose bloomed.
Loyalty.
Then it was shattered,
Unfortunately.
On the ground,
Broken.
Swirling pieces,
Changing,
Morphing,
Rejected.
A new flower,
A new meaning.
A Carnation.

Kyoya drew a ragged breath, willing himself not to cry. There she was again, her face clear; the wounds fresh again. Against his will, hot tears began escaping.

Seems he'd be crying himself to sleep once again.
