Stay: a todobaku story

Chapter 16

Shouto's POV

Everything hurts. I don't know where I am, I don't want to. I just want it to stop. I want to slip away, let go, give up. The pains not worth it, nothing's worth it. I then felt myself do just that, let go. My senses where fading, the pain was leaving, I was leaving.

"DON'T LEAVE ME!"

Who was that?

"Please!"

They sounded broken.....they sounded desperate. Why....who?

"Shouto please!"

Katsuki......Katsuki.......katsuki! I can't leave him! I wont leave him! Why would I ever even consider that?

Yet, I could still feel myself slipping out of life's grasp. I...... can't hear Katsuki anymore. No.....no...no, no, NO! I fucked up! I want to live! Don't give up on me!

DON'T LEAVE ME!

PLEASE

I don't want to be alone

.....Please....

————————

I sat bolt upright, I saw bright red flames dancing across my arms instantly. I was panicking, what the hell happened! Where the fuck am I! Is Katsuki ok? Am I in danger?! I was gasping for breath, which was slightly painful.

I still remember everything just as vividly as it had happened.

The blood

The pain

The screams

Wait!? I thought.....I thought I was dying........I'm alive? All these thoughts rushed through my head in less than a second, almost dizzying. I don't understand anything....what's going on?

Suddenly, two strong hands griped my arms, and I quickly looked to see who it was. It was Katsuki looking panicked and worried.....yet extremely relived at the same time. I completely froze when I saw him. Those ruby eyes stared right into mine for a short moment of silence. Katsuki......I was almost sure I would never see him again. I felt my eyes water, my emotions where completely overrunning me. I was confused, relived, happy, and upset all at once. A single tear feel down Katsuki's cheek as he quickly enveloped me in a hug. I hugged right back, so relived and thankful that I'm here, actually seeing Katsuki......but how?

I....I was dying. I'm almost sure of it. I.....I felt myself slipping away.

"Katsuki......what the hell happened?"

Katsukis POV(flashback)

"DON'T LEAVE ME"

Was I screaming? Was I shouting? I don't know. I don't care anymore, Shouto's not breathing. The one person I actually let in, the one person I feel deserves anything and everything. The one person I've ever fell in love with. Gone. I was hitting his chest, I won't let go. Then I felt hands trying to pull me away. I don't know who, nor do I care. I fought back, but there where so many people. I was being dragged away from him.

"LET ME GO"

I was angry, I was crying, I was ready to give up. Yet I can't, I don't want to. I clawed myself back to the pale body in front of me and one last time....I pounded against his chest.
