"tsuki?"

i walked towards the bed, smiling as a beautiful voice called my name. clutching the basket of fruits that i brought almost everyday on my left hand, i moved the curtains aside with my right one.

there he is.

a breathtaking smile was embed on his freckled face.

but medical cords and needles were pierced through his skin.

they don't make him look less beautiful.

"hey there, angel."

i heard him giggle at the nickname i have given him, ere placing the fresh strawberries on his bedside table. i have cast aside the pride and embarrassment i felt with being affectionate a long, long time ago. i sat on the cushiony chair right next to his bunk and brought out my book to read.

this has been my routine. visiting yamaguchi in the hospital, bringing him fruits, and reading novels instead of listening to music through my headphones to pass the time. he would eat or hum to his favorite song on the radio while i read. the silence that enveloped us throughout the whole process is both endearing and comfortable.

"tsuki," he called out.

i hummed in response, looking up from my book to look at him. he flashed me a blinding smile.

"do you think i will still see you after tomorrow?"

my heart dropped at his question. i instantly felt the tears that i have been holding back streaming down my face. he frowned, motioning me to move closer to him. i did do it, hugging him as he held me in his own arms.

"tsuki, don't cry. you'll make me want to cry too," he said, tears threatening to escape from the corners of his eyes. it made me cry harder. i was shaking, trying to calm down and choke back my tears.

"yamaguchi, please make it out okay. don't leave me," i begged, clutching on his white hospital gown as if he was going to disappear if i didn't.

"i will, kei. for us. for you," he replied while combing my blond locks with his cold, slender fingers. i held on to him tighter.

"tadashi, i'm terrified of losing you."

he kissed my head.

"you're not going to."
