Time Skip 3 Years
I was playing with the babies and the dog in our living room. Watching Disney with them, the twins singing their little heads off as they played with the dog. I sat on the floor recording the chaos and cuteness in front of me.
The front door opened. Wakatoshi came in with his bag from volleyball. The twins ran up to him and our dog jumping on him. Wakatoshi smiled as he knelt down and picked up the twins.
Asami and Eita.
One boy and one girl with a chocolate colored dog named Akihiko.
I wanted to name one of the babies after someone important in my life, I decided on Eita. I was really considering you brothers name but he comes over so often that I'd be confusing.
Eita comes over mainly on holidays now. Same for most of the guys. My brother has two beautiful babies and a wife, Reon is married with a baby girl. Tendo has a beautiful girlfriend, Shirabu and Kato are engaged. Taichi has a boyfriend and same goes for Goshiki.
Eita... well...
He's on tour right now. He's one of the biggest celebrities in Japan right now. His music is incredible. It's a nice mix of many genres. He has this song called "Golden Dove" and it's my favorite. It really feels personal.
"Now she's walking down the isle, towards the love of her life. They'll be together while my heart slowly dies."
"She shines brighter than anyone else, now she's married to another man, I'm just her friend; nothing else. Now I'm just another fan."
"The golden dove, soaring through her skies. She's perfection, she's the best. I'm just the best friend, not the man by her side."
I decided to text Eita while Wakatoshi went upstairs with the twins to put them down for their nap. He left me on read so I called him. When he answered the phone, my heart dropped.
"Eita! Hey how's it going-"
"Eita isn't here.."
"Where is he?"
"The cemetery. He asks to be left alone-"
"Why?"
"His sister recently passed away-"
I hung up the phone and grabbed my car keys. I ran upstairs and told Wakatoshi that I'd be back. Wakatoshi told me to be safe as I ran back down the stairs.
I got in my car and drove to the cemetery. My mind filled with thoughts. I pulled up to the cemetery. I ran around, trying to find him. I found him sitting by a grave in the back, underneath a tree.
You: Eita!
He looked up at me with tears falling down his face. I ran over to him, hugging him tightly. He hugged me back tightly, sobbing into me. I held him close, refusing to let him go even for a second.
The pain in his voice, his yells and cracked words as he cried. It pained me. I hated hearing him cry and being sad.
After a bit, he calmed down a bit, he got tired. His body relaxed in my arms. I still held him tightly, as his head rested on my shoulder.
You: Eita..?
Eita: ...why did you come here...
You: You were hurting and you didn't tell anyone-
Eita: So?
You: Eita, I'm here for you. I won't leave your side-
Eita: You already did!
I let Eita go. I could see the genuine pain in his face. His tears running down his face as his eyes burned red.
Eita: You left my side 6 years ago...
You: Eita..?
Eita: Golden Dove. You know, you're favorite song that you play on loop constantly? ...that damn song is about you!
You: ...it is?
Eita: Who else [y/n]! The woman I love! Who can shine the brightest in any god damn room! Who ended up marrying my best friend! And I'll only be your friend...
Eita's words pierced my heart. He was exhausted, you could see it in him. He was breaking right in front of me... and it's all my fault..
Eita: Now my damn little sister is gone, my parents were never in my life.. the love of my life is married to my best friend...
...I have no one...
You: Eita! You know that's not true. You have so many fans, friends, you have so many people around you-
Eita: I don't care! I couldn't give a damn about the fans, my money and fame... all the people I wanted in my life are gone. Everyone acts like they know me.. no one really listens..
...I'm just so fucking lonely...
I hugged Eita. He cried into me, holding me so close to him. I held him tightly as well. We heard yelling in the distance. The rest of the guys had shown up. They all ran down the hill to us.
Shirabu hugged Eita. We all did. Our best friend was hurting and none of us helped him till it was to late. The guys got Eita out of there, bringing him back to his house. Shirabu and Kato said that they'd watch over him tonight. As everyone went back to their cars, I stayed behind.
I looked at his sisters grave. Her picture of her bright smile and beautiful purple flowers laid next to her. The beautiful golden necklace that had a golden dove charm attached to it.. I felt tears run down my face. I had a small smile on my face as I looked at her grave.
"...I'll take care of him for you.."
"...I promise..."
"...From a golden dove to another..."
