Remember the day that I forced you to join the stride club? Remember the feeling of running together and connecting? Remember the day I confessed my feeling for you and you laughed thinking I was joking? Remember the day you got together with Sakurai? I remember that day very well. We were talking outside and she suddenly came to us and asked for a moment alone with you. You followed her to the back of the school while I was spying on you. I didn't know that spying on you that day as a bad idea. She turned around and looked at you. She was blushing and nervous. She opened her mouth to speak but was interrupted by you. I remember very well what you said that day. "If you're going to confess, there is no need because I like you too." Her expression brightened and she laughed. You followed her example and laughed too. Then suddenly you grabbed her and kissed her. I saw everything. It quickly turned into a make-out session. I couldn't believe you were making-out in front of me. I love you. Always have, always will. The next day during practice you told everyone you were officially going out. We congratulated you and her. I put on my brightest smile to hide the sadness I was really feeling. I turned around and said "I'm so happy for you two. I knew you were the perfect couple." while tears were starting to stream down my face. I excused myself and went to the bathroom that's when I broke down, you know? When we graduated you were still together and decided to live together. You went to the same University as her and studied the same things. Eventually she became a doctor and you a psychologist. The perfect match. Me, I owned a shop. Not much for a smartass as me, right? Years passed by and we kept contact, then one day you showed up at my shop for advice. You wanted to propose to her but didn't know how. Of course, I gave you advice while hiding my once again broken heart. Not that it ever was repaired. I love you. Always have, always will. I was invited to your marriage, as for everyone else. I celebrated with you and smiled just for you. See? I did all that just for you. I wanted you to be happy and even if it meant that I had to stay in the darkness and sadness for the rest of my life. A few months later after you r marriage, your wife got pregnant. Turns out they were two boys. You were so happy. I remember the look on your face when you held them for the first time. You were crying of happiness. I even got to be the uncle. I had to look after them when you were gone and take care of them. Oh how I wish they were our kids and not hers. Three years passed by and your wife got pregnant again. This time it was a girl. Again I got to be the uncle. Then I did something unforgivable to you. That night, 20 may, I forced you to sleep with me. After that I never saw you again. Why don't you get it? I love you. Always have, always will. The years passed by and I turned 30 then 40. On my 45th birthday I got in a accident and lost my voice and my sight. I was completely disabled. I could only hear and touch and taste. Hey, I wonder if you ever heard about the accident? I always hoped while I was in the hospital that you would show up one day. Ask me how I'm doing, helping me, taking care of me. But in the end you never did. Again the years passed by and I still love you. Always have, always will. One day I got a heart attack and spend a whole lot of weeks in the hospital again. The doctors told me I hadn't long to go and if I had any relatives I should see them again. Of course the one I wanted to see the most was you. I wanted to see you again. I wanted to hear your voice again. I wanted to tell you for the last time "I love you." but I never could. You never showed up. Not like I was expecting you to come but deep inside I hoped you would have. Dammit Riku! Why? Why? WHY?! WHY DID YOU CHOOSE HER?! WAS I NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU?! NOW BECAUSE OF YOU I'M HAVING A HEART ATTACK! Because of you.... I'm........dying..... . Riku, you killed me. You murderer. Haha. I love you. No, I loved you. I cant' love you anymore. Riku, promise me one thing. Be happy. After that my mind stopped working. My heart that beats for you stopped beating. And along with everything else I stopped loving you.
Well that is Takeru's death in his POV. I'm (not) sorry. Cya in the next fic.
