Countdown ~TsukiHina~

~5~

~Tsukishima~

I got the last text from Hinata about ten minutes ago. He said that he was two minutes away from school I said I'd wait for him at the gate and we can walk to class together. Ten minutes later and there's no sign of the little fucker. Don't tell me he got abducted on his way to school. I swear to god, I've said it before and I'll say it again, if anyone brings harm to my little ginger boy I will not hesitate to commit murder. Wait no, I'm being paranoid, this is Shoyo we're talking about. The dumbass probably just found a cat on the way and got caught up petting it.

"Kei! Over here!" I look towards the familiar voice and smile at my little boyfriend as he runs over. He has something in his arms, it looks like... holy shit is that a fucking squirrel? Why the fuck is he carrying a squirrel around? "I'd like you to meet Squizzy!" Of course he named the damn thing Squizzy, what kind of name is Squizzy?

I look down at him, somewhat disappointed but honestly I'm not at all surprised. "Shoyo, put that thing back in whatever bush it came from." I roll my eyes and fold my arms.

"But Tsukki, he's so cute!" He whines. "I can't let him go when I'm emotionally attached to him!" How the fuck is he emotionally attached to him? He's known this creature for what, ten minutes? Oh my god I am voluntarily dating this dumb little piece of shit... Wait no, don't think like that. Shoyo may be a dumb little shit but you love him for it. Let's be honest, life would be so dull without him. "He's part of my family now!"

I sigh. "Shoyo, he's not part of your family and you're not emotionally attached to him. He's a wild animal and you need to let him go back to his bush home and to his own family, ok?" I take the squirrel out of his arms but, as he clings onto him, I notice a big change in the number on his wrist. It makes my heart stop, drop and roll out my ass and across the floor. How? How did it drop by 302 days? What happened? Oh my god I feel like crying; I might start this day off by crying. My Shoyo, my beloved Shoyo, the light of my fucking life is going to die in five god damn days! He can't die yet, there's still so much we have to do! He's still so young, he needed that last year! I drop the squirrel and step back, feeling a few tears spill down my cheeks. "S-Sho.." I'm going to have a fucking panic attack, I swear to god.

"Kei? What's wrong?" He rests his hands on my forearm and I can see the confused expression on his face through the tears. That's probably the worst part about all of this, he doesn't even know and I can't bring myself to tell him. I don't want to be the one to break his precious little heart like that. He pulls me into a hug. "It's ok... I don't know what's wrong but it's ok..." He rubs little circles on my back, something my mum used to do when I was younger to calm me down. But nothing's going to calm me down, not this time.

I grab his hand and start dragging him along the street, away from school, while wiping my eyes with the other hand. "I'm skipping today and you're coming with me." He looks at me, still very confused but following my anyway. "Please don't give me that look Shoyo, I need to calm down and...the only way I'm going to calm down is by being with you..." I bite my lip and grip his hand tight, like he'll slip away from me if I let go. That's when it hits me. In five days, he's going to slip away from me forever...
