Can we Make It?

Kokichi's POV
"Shuichi!" I yelled right when I woke up. My wounds were screaming as pain radiated through my body. I wanted to tell him that I just wanted to die...it hurts so bad!

I writhed in pain on the bed as Shuichi made his way over to the bed. "Kokichi! Don't move so much! Let me get you some more pain medicine!" He placed his hand on my cheek to wipe some of my tears before he left to the table grabbing the same bottle of pills from last night.

"Here take these...it's going to be ok, I'm right here," He handed me the pills helping me take them while I was laying down again. He caresses my cheek helping the pain not feel as bad...but it still burned.

Scorching pain radiating through my body. Boiling my blood and piercing through my skin. The stitches held the cuts closed but it felt like the pain would rip them over all over again. I knew that if they did open again then Maki would have to sew them up again...and she is coming to redo the bandages today...Shuichi suggested that he does it instead which made me smile.

"Oh hey, Maki!" Shuichi said before walking away from me again. I felt a groan come out of my mouth as his calming touch left me. They said somethings to each other but I couldn't focus on them because the pain was now clouding my already foggy thoughts.

"Hey, you need to stay still ok?" Shuichi's hand soon returned making me sigh after letting out another groan. The bandages were sticking to the scabs...I'm glad Shuichi was going slow when he was pulling them off.

His hands were cool and calming as they brushed against my skin. I almost relaxed when the bandages came off but then they started to clean them again. I clenched my teeth and tried my hardest to keep my arms and legs still for them to work.

It stung for a while but then the pain lessened. I think it's because the pain medication I took earlier was finally kicking in...and it was just on time.

"Could you pass me the bandages..." I heard Shuichi speak to Maki before he started gently wrapping my legs. It hurt a little whenever he went over my wounds but because it was him I didn't mind that much. He was being so gentle and slow that I forgot that I was in pain for a moment.

I just looked at him as he worked. He was biting his lip as he worked. I noticed before whenever he is in a stressful situation or a time crunch he will bite his lip. I mean he bites the inside of his lip as well and that's why it was a bit hard for me to figure this out.

He looked nervous and I could tell that his hands were slightly shaking. He had some tears in his eyes as he looked at my wounds...he almost looked guilty. I felt my face fall into a frown.

He is probably still blaming himself for this. I should have stayed behind with him just so he doesn't have to feel guilty about this. But I know I did what I needed to do...even though Maki looked like she could handle herself I could tell that she was a bit overwhelmed when she saw all the people that were attacking...

I noticed Maki was walking out of the room after handing Shuichi some extra bandages in case blood seeped through or something else made the ones I had on dirty in some way.

I need to help Shuichi.

He seems really troubled about the whole thing...

I looked down at the ring on my hand and smiled. I just need to tell my lover and my fiancé that I love him...and it wasn't his fault that I was reckless.

"Hey Shu, it's ok," I placed my hand on his head. He raised his head slightly and smiled up at me. I could tell the smile was forced and that he wasn't feeling good at all...I could see in his eyes that all he wanted to do was cry.

"Hey, I love you ok...and it doesn't matter what happened, all that matters is that we are together now," I tried to sound as genuine as I could and tried to not make my voice sound as weak and helpless as I felt. Shuichi looked away from me for a moment before he moved his head to my bandages.

I was a little confused as to what he was planning to do. As soon as the thought came to mind he kissed my leg. He kissed over the bandages on my legs and slowly moved up to my thighs. I felt a warmth come to my cheeks as I watched his slow and calming movements.

It was like gentle touches of pleasure calming the pain I felt in my wounds. It was sweet and calming...making my eyes slowly fall. They didn't close all the way but they were half lidded.

"I was worried I was going to lose you...but I'm glad you are here..." He whispered against my skin. The vibrations from his lips make me laugh slightly.

"I know you love being kissed...and you are touch starved so being stuck in bed must be hell for you..." He paused as he finished the last couple of kisses on the bandages that were wrapped around my chest slowly moving up to my shoulder.

"So, I'm here to make sure that my beloved Kichi feels loved...because I love you," He kissed my right cheek for a moment moving his hands up my side. He was being gentle so he didn't put too much pressure on my wounds.

He kissed my left cheek soon after making me smile. He stayed there for a moment moving his hand to my chest. Then he moved his trail of kisses up to my nose before moving down to my chin...and lastly he moved to the side of my mouth.

The heat from his breath and him looking into my eyes was making me feel like I was melting into his embrace. His golden eyes moved closer to me and our noses touched for a moment before his lips finally met my own.

His lips were calm against my own. They made my thoughts all stop in there tracks. All my senses consumed by the sound of my heartbeat and the feeling of him next to me.

"I love you Koki," He mumbled against my lips before kissing me again. I pulled back slightly to tell him the same.

"I love you, Shu," I whispered before I moved back in to kiss him again. He would mumble sweet nothings into my mouth as we slowly kissed each other. It was peaceful and almost like he was the only other person who existed. Shuichi and I were the only two things that mattered and the love we have for each other,

Is infinite
