Passing Time [KHR]

"So [Name]," I once again directed my attention to him. "I'll ask you again but, will you be my girlfriend?"

I quickly choke on my last bite of tiramisu cake I was munching. "A-Again?" I wiped my mouth and drank my latte.

He just gave a smirk, "I'm persistent."

I pouted and sighed, "I've told you before, but no. I've only got.. a year and a bit more to live." I mumble out, seeing my own reflection from my cup.

"How can you be so sure? It might be a coincidence."

My grip tightened, "I don't know. I just know it." I whisper out. "I dreamed of when he, I don't know whoever he is, making a wish and agreed to that price!" I unconsciously raised my voice.

Seeing the look of the people around, I shrunk in my seat, "S-Sorry.." I mumble out.

"Don't mind them." Reborn mumble out and wrapped my hands. "It's fine."

I shook my head, "It's not fine." I look at him. "I don't want to be in a relationship if I know I'll leave my partner away soon."

"You also deserves to be happy." He reasoned out. "And if it's still a year, you can leave something for your partner." He whisper out. "A child.. perhaps?" He playfully say with a sly face.

I bit my lips, "I can't." I whimper out.

I can feel his hands stiffen, "What do you mean?"

"I have an MKRH* syndrome." I whisper out, tears threathening to fall.

His breath hitched, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to-"

"It's okay. It's not your fault," I breathed out, sucking back my tears. "That's one of the reason as of why I didn't accept your, nor Tsuna's confession." I voice out. "I can't be that selfish."

"And who said that?"

My eyes widen in surprise, "What?" I mumble out in confusion.

Reborn scoffs, "I ask you who said you can't be selfish? You only live once, enjoy your life to the fullest." He explained. "If everyone can be happy, why can't you?"

"I don't want to hurt others." I told him. "I'm only be able to be happy for a while, and then I'll leave." I retorts, looking into his onyx eyes. "After I left, everyone I'm close too will be hurted! That's why I wish no one will be attached to me. So no one will be hurt when I die."

"But at least, you'll be happy right?"

"I'm already happy!" I raised my voice, slamming my hands at the table. "I'm happy that you, Reborn, and Tsuna came to me as if you've known me from a long time! I'm happy we get to spend time together, once in a while. Being with you two were my most happiest time!" My voice trembles a bit. My hands stings a bit, and I can feel my tears are already flowing out. "I would love to spend a lot of times with you and Tsuna. But I can't! I'm- My family is cursed!"

Reborn just shadowed his eyes.

I regain my composure and tried to calm down. "I want to be with you two, but I don't want you two to be hurt when I leave." I sobbed out.

Wiping my tears with my sleeve, I didn't direct my attention to anywhere else but Reborn. "I'm sorry."

"It's also my fault, don't mind it." He replied shortly. "You've been through a lot haven't you?" He then whisper soothingly.

My eyes slowly darted away from Reborn's face, unable to keep up my confidence to see him in the face. "I don't know, I barely remember my childhood memories." I mumble out.
