Even if time runs out (DaiSuga and AsaNoya soulmate AU)

Blood

Date: May 7

Time until death: 24 days

Nishinoya ran. He ran as fast as he could. He couldn't bear it anymore. It was too much to be away from him anymore. He wanted more time, as much time as possible, there wasn't enough time...

It was raining. He didn't bring an umbrella. He couldn't care enough to bring a coat. All that mattered was seeing him. As much time with him as possible.

He wasn't quite sure exactly how it happened, but next thing he knew he was on the ground curled up in pain. He could see blood oozing out of multiple spots, contrasting with his pale skin. The rain pounded onto his head, thrumming in his ears, making his loud heartbeat a little more noticeable. His tears mixed with the rain, and his skull felt like it was getting hit by a hammer over and over again. He was so tired. So, so, tired. Could he just curl up here and never wake up? That would be nice. That would be very, very nice-

"Yuu?"
He stirred and hazily opened his eyes. He was facing a dark brown mass of fabric that he took to be a couch, and was wrapped in a mass of blankets. It was warm. Comforting. He slowly looked around at his surroundings until his eyes met a pair that was a brilliant chocolate brown, so bright it seemed to radiate with its brilliance. Soulmate's eyes. Noya's eyes then traveled to the mass of dark hair tied up in a loose bun, the scruffy chin, and the thermometer in the pair of rough-looking hands. But he knew how gentle those hands really were. "Azumane?" He sat up and the slight throbbing in his temples suddenly turned into an insanely painful headache that made him grab his head and groan slightly. "Wait, lay back down, you could have gotten sick from the rain, and I need to take your temperature," Asahi said and gently pushed the smaller boy down. Yuu didn't have much energy, so he laid down and let Asahi take his temperature without putting up a fight.

"Yep, you're staying here tonight. Your temperature is way too high to get off that couch on my watch. Why were you running without a jacket or umbrella anyway?"

I can't tell him the truth.

"I, uh..."

"No, never mind, just lay down and rest. I'll get us some food in a minute."

Thank god.

Asahi left the room and Noya sighed defeatedly.

Asahi has less than a month to live! I can't be laying here! I have to do something! If he spends all of his last days tending to me then there's no way he'll enjoy them! He-

"Yuu? Are you okay?"

"Oh! Uh, yeah. Sorry."

"Okay, here you go." Asahi handed him a bowl of soup and a spoon. "Now eat." He obliged.

As Yuu laid there that night, in his boyfriend's arms, all he felt was guilt.

There were 23 days left in May.

And Asahi would have to spend many precious hours of his limited life taking care of him.
