Our Withered Daisy {A Kotaro Bokuto X Female Reader}

Untitled Part 9

"Your time is limited young one. You will die soon and leave that boy all alone in this cruel world."

Who are you...? How... how much time do I..... have?

"Not enough to save this boy."

There was a swoosh and the strange silhouette of the man disappeared to reveal Ko. He was hunched over, his back facing me.

What is Ko doing?

"He is trying to kill himself. He wishes to be with you more than anything, but he also blames himself for your death."

W-WHY?!?! HE CAN'T DO THAT!!! HIS FAMILY FUCKING NEEDS HIM!!!

"And he needed you, but you left. He's going to follow after you and leave them all behind."

I can't let him do that!!!

"No, you can't. Now go young child. Save him and save them too."

And then..... I opened my eyes.

The bright white light was burning into my eyes, but I didn't care much. I looked around and spotted Kei sleeping softly with Ko next to him.

"Ko.. Kei.... wake up." I whispered.

Kei groaned in response and moved his head a bit before going back to snoring. "Kei get.. up.... Ko you too!" I said louder this time. Both of their heads jumped up and looked at me dazed.

"THANK GOODNESS YOU'RE OKAY Y/N I WAS SO FUCKING WORRIED ABOUT YOU!!!" Ko screamed as he pulled me into a tight hug. I let out a cough and he dropped me instantly. "...sorry..." he muttered.

"I'm fine.... can I have some water?" I asked. Kei ran out of the room after yelling, "Yeah I'll go get it!"

"So how are you feeling?" Ko asked gently. "I'm fine...... is there a tube in my nose...?" "Yeah. They put you on oxygen." "Oh......."

"Was the IV really necessary? Did..... why is there.... a blood bag.....?" I asked as I looked around. "You started coughing up blood..... the doctor said he had to give you a blood trans whatever," he said in response. "I think the doctors just wanted to scam us for money," Kei piped in as he handed me some water.

"Thank you," I said as I grabbed it and took a gulp, the cold water flooding my dry throat.

"Woah slow down. Don't drink too much!" Kei said as he took the cup back. I nodded.

"So... when am I allowed to leave?" I asked, eager to get out. "You're not leaving. Ever. It's a miracle you've survived this long but after doing some tests they don't think you have much time. You're staying here." "No! I have school!And a life outside of this hospital!!" I retaliated. "I don't care! It's for your safety! Plus I'm your legal caretaker and you're still a minor. You don't get to decide! It's for your own good anyways!!" he screamed. "Hey guys! No yelling!" Ko intervened.

"Ko. Stay out of this." "You're not leaving and that's final." Then Kei walked out of my hospital room.

"I will leave this room. I will and I'll do it without anyone noticing. Then I'll escape and.... and...." "What?" "I'll get out of here and we can run away together!" "You know we can't do that Y/n.... even though I'd love to run away with you," Ko whispered as he stared at me.

".... I can't stay here...." "You have to. And I won't let you leave. I'll visit everyday so it'll be fine," he said as he pulled me into a hug.
