50 Days With You

I

Mayuzumi thought today would be just another morning with Imayoshi.

The usual morning where Imayoshi woke up first and spent a moment to admire his lover's sleeping face as Mayuzumi nuzzled his face to Imayoshi's neck.

The usual morning where they shared a few kisses here and there when Mayuzumi finally woke up.

The usual morning where they took a bath together, Mayuzumi leaning against Imayoshi comfortably while having a small talk and letting his lover kiss his shoulder or nuzzle his neck.

Mayuzumi should've been making their breakfast now, with Imayoshi hugging him from behind.

Just like the usual morning they have always had.

Mayuzumi stayed silent as he looked at the number on Imayoshi's chest.

'Why?'

'Does that mean we only have a month left?'

'Why?'

'It's supposed to be fifty...'

'Why?'

'Did Imayoshi hide this from me for nineteen days?'

'No, it can't be.'

'We took a bath together earlier.'

'There was no number on his chest.'

Questions came flooding to Mayuzumi's head and he couldn't take it.

This was too much to handle.

And it was still 9 AM in the morning.

"Mayuzumi?" Imayoshi called softly as he approached Mayuzumi, wanting to make sure if he was alright.

The grey haired male only responded with a shake of his head.

What do I do?

The silence was deafening for a moment or two. None of them found the right words to say after knowing that Imayoshi only had a month left to live. Especially the former Rakuzan member since he was never good with words from the very start.

"Maybe we should celebrate it? Have some sake or something~" Imayoshi finally spoke.

That usual voice with that cheerful tone. Mayuzumi sometimes couldn't understand Imayoshi.

"Want to order some McDonald's? You get to pick the menu~"

No.

Mayuzumi didn't want those.

"I suddenly want their fries again. Along with the ice cream~"

Was it just him or the room suddenly felt cramped?

It was hard for him to breathe.

Maybe if he cried, he would've felt better?

Mayuzumi didn't say a single word nor move an inch when Imayoshi wrapped his arms around his waist.

"You don't want to celebrate? It's your big day after all," Imayoshi smiled as he caressed his lover's cheek.

The words made Mayuzumi look at Imayoshi with a questioning look.

'How did it become my big day? What is he thinking?'

And Imayoshi seemed to understand.

"You get to be the last person I spend my life with," Imayoshi answered and kissed Mayuzumi's forehead softly.
