A/N:get the tissues.

   "Do you need something, dear?"

   "I'll give you anything you want my flame princess!"

   "Even when bed ridden you are still enchanting."

   Little things. It was the little things in life that mattered. Like the little things he did. The fresh rose put in the vase by the bed every morning. Or the way he'd fall asleep on the bed when guarding over me. I was thankful for him and his love. But I knew, I knew it wouldn't last long. My illness, it was getting worse by the day. Living, living was getting harder as well. It was jutst minor coughs and sniffles, then it became serious. I constantly threw up blood, I knew something was wrong.

   Every morning, I would wake with him there. Unless he was away in battle, which I was glad when he came home unscathed. He was the love of my life. I loved everything about him, his hair, his eyes, his touch. Everything! Even his cockiness. His confidence. Everything I could ever hope to want or to be, was him. And waking up to his touch, was one of these mornings.

   "Good morning my flame princess!" he sighed.

   "Good morning, Yifeng." I giggled. He caressed my cheek gently, he smiled. 

   "Would would you like for breakfast? The doctor said you should eat well so you can get better!" he beamed as he started to get up. I frowned and grabbed his arm, tugging it.

   "B-But Ran-he said I only had a f-few weeks...!" I whispered.

   "He said not for sure." he replied seriously.

   "B-But still!" 

   "(Y/N)." he said. I looked at him in the eye, he never really calls me by my name. Usually he'll call me by pet names.

   "Sorry, my love. I forgot," I lifted my hands to my face and smacked them a bit,"only happy thoughts! Be positive!"

   "That's my girl!" it was funny, how he was so positive in a time like this. I was only diagnosed a few months back, now I'm close to death. I was scared, but I have to be positive, at least for Zhu Ran. I smiled a bit, but that stopped when I started coughing. I coughed violently too. Zhu Ran was panicking, usually he wasn't here when I was actual sick.

   "G-Get the b-bucket!" I gasped. He immediately ran and grabbed the wooden pale. I coughed blood and spit into the bucket. I sighed and laid back down, it wasn't as painful as it mostly is. Though, tears still pricked my eyes.

   "I'll get you a cold rag," he walks and takes a white clothe and soaks it in water. He then comes to put it gently on my forehead,"are you okay?"

   "I'm sorry y-you had to see that Ran." I speak. He frowns.

   "Now I know what you go through all day. I'm taking the day off." he replied. I shook my head.

   "No, you need to do your duty!" I scold.

   "Right now, you are most important." he says. I sigh and hold his hand. I remember the doctors visit from yesterday, I almost started crying.

"I'm sorry, but your last days are near. They are closer than predicted. You could pass any day now."

   I held a hand over my eyes. I started to cry, I didn't want to go. I wasn't ready. There was so much I still wanted to do. I wanted to fight again. I wanted to have a family. I wanted to see everyone again. I wanted to spend more time with Yifeng. 

I needed time.

   "(Y/N)! H-Hey what's wrong!?" Ran asked frantically. Just hearing the worry in his voice just makes me cry harder. Soon I'm just wailing with worried husband at my side.

   "I-I'm so s-sorry Ran!" I sobbed.

   "For what? You are the best partner I could've asked for!" he smiled weakly. I couldn't look at him.

   "I need more time! Please God give me more time!" I exclaimed. He froze.

   "Tell me what's going on (Y/N)! I need to know!" he replied.

   "The medic, h-he said-h-he s-said," I paused before wiping the hot tears on my cheeks,"he said I didn't have much time. A-Any day could be my last. I'm so sorry. I'm sorry." I sniffled. I whispered more apologies before he took my hands in his own.

   "Y-You can't apologize for something that is out of your reach. I should be the sorry one. I never spent much time with you." he started to cry, which made me cry. We just sat there grieving. Time ticked away and it became night. I asked him to go to sleep in his chamber, we had a debate for an hour before he finally left. I sat there, staring at the ceiling. I drifted off to sleep as soon as I heard the crickets.

Time Skip to the Morning~!

   I woke on a warm afternoon. My body felt heavier and more fatigued. I looked to my right and saw Zhu Ran, sleeping. I examined his perfect face. I was so lucky, minus the illness part. I looked over more and saw the red rose in its vase, perfectly fresh. I smiled. There was so much to miss, my husband, my roses, my friends, my life.

   "This is where I shall sleep, I'm sorry Yifeng. For I could not give you a family, I could not give you everything you deserve. I'm sorry mom, I promised to be a brilliant wife and mother. I'm sorry dad, for rebelling against everything you taught me. I'm sorry friends, I wasn't there to help. I was just a burden. I am just a burden!" I cried. After I calmed down, I got up and walked over to the vase. I took the rose in hand, holding it softly. I trudged over to the bed and lay again. 

   It had been too long since I have held one of my gifts. I was so thankful and so blessed. I held the rose against my chest and sobbed. I cry too much, don't I? I close my eyes, but not before taking in the beautiful view of my dear husband.

May death do us part.

But I don't want to go.



And so, that day, (L/N) (Y/N) had passed away. She was a beloved wife of Zhu Ran, she was the most cherished and favorite. Though she grew ill, he still loved her. They were like two puzzle pieces, perfectly fit together. When she died, grief struck him. Heart breaking cries racked throughout his body. Many personal friends came and cried for her. Zhu Ran built a garden of roses for her. She always liked roses. She was relieved, her pain was gone. The job was done. Her earthly life, was done.
