These days,not many people die from asthma. It's only those who's is too bad or those who overwork themself that die from it.
Sadly, Riku overworked himself and died from suffocation before the ambulance arrived.
He died on stage in front of a crowd of over a million,in Iori's arms. The last words he'd heard were Iori's.
"I love you,Nanasae Riku. I love you."
And with Riku's last breath,Iori mustered up all of his courage and smiled,watching as Riku closed his eyes,his chest stop moving and felt his heart stop.
The curtains closed on the seven and the microphones were turned off. Iori broke down into a fit of tears,as did the rest of the group. Even Nagi and Yamato cried.
The president and Banri stayed strong until they could no longer handle it and cried too.
The hurt poked them in the chest,sharper than any other pain that has ever stabbed anyone.
Iori silenced his sniffles and started to sing a choked,forced,hoarse version of Memories Melodies, the rest of the group joining in one after the other.
When the ambulance arrived,Riku was covered over with a sheet and taken away,leaving the members shivering outside in the night sky.
The audience had been sent home,all worried about Riku.
The rain poured down and the members were left there. It took awhile but the president finally asked the question "Who's going to tell Kujo Tenn?"
"We should all do it... Make an appointment with Trigger for tomorrow..." Yamato said,finally wiping the last of his tears.
The president and Banri did just that.
Still,that night,the remainders of Idolish7 slept in the front room,each as depressed as the other.
The next morning, they were all dressed and ready by 6:30am. None of them got that much sleep in the night,it was too much.
Riding to Yaotome productions dragged on. It felt like hours,although it was just mere minutes.
Riding the lift to the floor that Trigger lived in,knocking on the door,the six of them and Banri and the president entering Trigger's room,where Trigger and Yaotome Sousuke waited for them. It all seemed surreal. It didn't have to be real but it was. It was too real.
As soon as they all sat down,Tenn asked "Where's Riku?"
Iori sucked in a sharp breath through his teeth,snapping his head down to look at his legs.
Sogo was the one to speak. He was great at comforting and breaking bad news to people. His kind nature made that easy.
He shyly sat next to Tenn and touched his shoulder. "Tenn-kun...I-I I'm really sorry...Riku...he passed last night...We haven't officially announced it to the public yet...people are suspicious though...I'm really sorry,Tenn-kun."
I bet you,you've never heard a pained cry like it. It was a scream,rather than a cry.
His tears slipped down his face in thick bulges. After about thirty seconds, Tenn's nose was running,he was drooling and the crying was screams of pain.
Sogo moved out of the way and sat back with Idolish7. Gaku pulled Tenn into his chest,cradling him like a baby. Ryunosuke rubbed his back and got him water.
Tenn's pained crying set Iori,Mitsuki and Tamaki to start off crying again.
Yaotome Sousuke looked over at president Takanashi with wide eyes. He saw everyone's pain...and for the first time,realised his son's.
Riku existed to perform and sing. He convinced many people with Asthma that they could do anything. But he no longer convinced them....
When the news was released to the public,everyone mourned and went crazy.
The funeral was the month after Riku's death. It was expensive.
Thousands of moneys worth of flowers were layed out. Each boy wore a black suit with their significant colour.
The service was full of crying and pain. Nobody had dry eyes by the end of it.
Saying their final goodbyes,idolish7 and Trigger each layed down a bouquet of flowers with their respective colour.
Tenn cuddled with his parents at the after party,making amends with them and not leaving them,just as Riku would want.
Everyone smiled at Iori,knowing what he'd done. Before the coffin and Riku were taken for cremation,he kissed the coffin gently and placed down a photo frame with a picture of them with Trigger.
Riku's death may have been sad. But everybody learned. They all learned that a friend like that...with talent like that...only come once in a lifetime.....
Words:774
I know it's short but I really had to get this one out. I had the idea and had to write it.
I hope you're not too depressed? Okay?
Later crew~Fleet.
