Fever

Len's POV

I groaned a bit rolling around in bed and looked at Kaito who still had a worried expression.
"I told you to stop worrying" I said with a raspy voice "It's just a normal fever. No reason to worry"
I gave him a reassuring smile.
Kaito touched my forehead still not looking convinced.
"I'll be right back" he said leaving the room. I sighed a bit. (...)
Kaito came back with a wet cloth in his hands and placed it on my forehead.
"Do you want a tea? Or a hot soup?"
"Hm, soup sounds nice" I slightly grinned. It's cute how caring he is.
(...)
I woke up a few times at night. Either because I had to cough or because of a weird fever dream. When I was finally able to fall asleep I got woken up by Kaito.
"Hey, good morning. Want me to stay home today?"
Still half asleep my brain tried to process what he said. I shook my head.
"It's fine" I said and sneezed. His worried expression came back after he touched my forehead again.
"The fever got higher.."
"Kaito. I said I'm fine. Why would I lie to you?" I tried to suppress a cough. He still wasn't looking convinced.
"Go to work, ok? If it gets worse I'll call you. I promise" I said smiling. He looked at me for a few seconds.
"Fine"
(...)
After he left the room I turned around trying to get some more sleep. I woke up from another fever dream, my heart  beating faster than usual. I looked at the clock. 2pm. God what a weird dream. I coughed. I decided to get up and go get something to drink as my throat was feeling hoarse. As soon as I got up I felt a wave of dizziness overcome me. I got a hold on the wall and blinked a few times waiting for it to go away. I slowly walked out of the room and down the stairs yawning a few times. Still feeling dizzy I got myself some water and gulped it down. What should I do now? Go back to bed? Watch TV? Why is my heart still beating so fast? I coughed again.

Kaito's POV

My boss placed a stack of papers on my desk.
"This needs to be finished till tomorrow" he said without even looking at me. I sighed. It's almost 3pm now. I wonder what Len is doing. (...)
Mid work I heard my phone ringing. Without looking who it is I accepted the call.
"Hm?" My voice sounded annoyed.
"Kaito?" It's Len. I heard him coughing really bad.
"Kaito. I think- I think I need your help-" His voice cracked. I felt anxiety creeping up on me.
"Len? What's wrong?"
"I- coughed up blood- Kaito- I'm scared" he said between coughs. My heart skipped a beat. I knew I should have stayed at home.
"Don't be scared. I'll come as fast as possible." My voice was filled with fear. I hung up and ran out of the building. I didn't care if I would get fired for this. Shaking I started the car and drove as fast as possible ignoring red traffic lights a speed camera. (...)
I could hear Len coughing while opening the door. Inside I scanned to room looking for him. I heard another cough coming from the kitchen. (...)
Len knelt on the floor shaking besides the kitchen counter. He was crying and some blood was dripping from his mouth. He looked at me and started to cry even more. My eyes widen in shock. I ran up to him and knelt down besides him. He looked so scared. Suddenly his expression looked pained and he tightly closed his eyes. With one hand he grabbed his chest the other covered his mouth. He heavily coughed. Blood came out from between his fingers and dripped on the floor.
"My- my chest hurts- my lung-" he coughed again before he could finish the sentence.
"Fuck. I-I'll call an ambulance" shaking I took out my phone. I took Len's hand while I tried to be as calm as possible. (...)
"Everything will be ok. They'll be here soon"
He coughed again. His eyes widen in shock. He covered his mouth with both hands. He bend over a bit and started to shake even more. Another muffled cough was heard. Even more blood splattered on the floor leaving a little puddle. Tears began to form in the corner of my eyes. This can't be happening. I don't want this. Will he die? He won't die right? He can't die.
His nose started bleeding. He digged his nails into his chest and cried out in pain.
"It hurts- so much" he said barely understandable. I'm was pretty sure the amount of blood on the floor was way too much. I took his hand again not caring about the blood on it.
"H-hey, it'll be ok. They should be here soon. Everything will be ok. I promise."
(...)
The paramedics arrived. While one of them continuously asked Len questions to keep him from fainting the other two carefully helped him to get up so they could lead him out to the ambulance. Len's legs were shaking with every small step he took. (...) Suddenly he stumbled and was about to fall. The paramedics tried to keep him from falling. He wasn't responding to the questions anymore. Then he just collapsed. I just stood there frozen in shock. Tear after tear rolled down my cheeks. The paramedics tried to get him back to consciousness.
Am I dreaming? This is just a bad dream right? Right? This can't be real. It can't. I want to wake up. This isn't real. Why won't I wake up?
"Sir, please calm down" (...) My view was blurred from the tears. My legs felt as if they can't carry me anymore. I knelt down on the street. I looked over to Len. His eyes were still closed. I wasn't able to see what the paramedics were doing.
"No heartbeat"
What. Did I heard that right?
"No pulse either"
I couldn't believe what I just heard. My heart felt like it would shatter into thousand pieces. They started to resuscitate him. Minutes passed. Or were it hours?
"Time of death 4:23pm"
They stopped.
I can't believe this.
It's not real.
It can't be real.
I slowly crawled over to him. He looks so pale.
"Len?"
My hand was shaking as I slowly touched his cheek.
It's cold.
"Len, please"
I sobbed.
A tear fell on his cheek.
"I'm sorry for your loss Sir"
One of the paramedics touched my shoulder.
I turned around to him. Disbelief in my eyes.
"This isn't real. It can't"
"I'm sorry"
"Stop lying. He isn't dead. He can't be."
I looked back at Len.
I shook his shoulders a bit.
"Please wake up."
He wasn't moving.
Why isn't he moving?
"Len-"
I sobbed and hugged his limp body.
He can't be dead.
I listened for his heartbeat.
There is none.
None.
Why?
He's dead.
He won't wake up.
He's dead.
Forever.
"Come back"
I tightly hugged his lifeless body.
"Please come back.
Don't leave me.
Please.
I love you.
You can't leave me.
Please.
I'm begging you."

I love you

(I think I overdid it a bit)
