Save Me. - Reituki - Oneshot/Drabble
(Ruki’s POV)
How many more tears? How many more wounds? I try to look up but what I see it’s not a light; it’s dark. So dark that if you stay with your eyes closed or opened wouldn’t make any difference. I try to reach up for something to hold on to, but there’s nothing. That’s when I realize I’m alone. There’s no one near me to hold me, to touch me or to whisper to me. I’m here by myself and it’s frightening me. So much… I try to steady my heartbeat but it wouldn’t calm down. Now I hear sounds. Maddening sounds. Screams of pain that rip me into pieces. They’re so painful… I want the silence again. I feel a touch on my shoulder. So after all… Am I not alone? But that touch burns. I feel wetness on my shoulder and I realize it’s blood. Who’s blood is that? Is it mine? Or of the one that touched me? ‘Who are you?’ I want to ask. But then I realize that no sounds would come out from my lips. I can’t talk.
What is going on? I feel the burn growing bigger. Now not only my shoulder but my arms and my face also burns as hell. I try to scream, to move to escape but I can’t. It’s like I’m trapped with an invisible rope. Will someone help me? Will someone get me out of here? I’m starting to loose my hopes. And I feel my heartbeat slowing down. Now it’s barely present. Is this it? Am I going to die now? I can’t breath. I’m slowly loosing my consciousness. But before it happens, there it is. A faint light. It’s faint but I can still see it. Soon the burn disappears. And I’m waking up to a voice’s sound that screams my name. That voice is familiar. And it’s filled with pain… Why? I don’t know but I feel myself slowly opening my eyes. This time the light is too powerful as I try to adjust my eyes to it. When I do…
(Normal POV)
Reita shook the soaking boy as powerful as he could. He couldn’t allow to let him die. Not now. He couldn’t believe that this was really happening. He and Ruki were walking home when they started to fight. He couldn’t remember the reason. But the fight got more heated. And he said things to Ruki… Painful things that he didn’t mean. He never realized the way Ruki’s face became pale and how tears formed in his eyes as small sobs escaped his lips. He told him he wished he would have never met him. He told him he hated him and that the world would be a lot better without him. He was blinded by rage. And he walked away. He turned with his back and walked away from the crying man. He had hurt him again. He always hurt him but he loved him. And now he hated himself for not always showing that to Ruki. He wished he could have turned back time and do what he had to do. He wish he could have turned back time and stopped Ruki.
While he was walking away he heard a splash. When he turned around Ruki was nowhere to be seen. His heart stung immediately as he looked down the bridge they were on and he saw him, his lover in the water. He was terrified at the view. Ruki couldn’t swim. He got down as fast as he could from the bridge and jumped into the water. When he got his boyfriend out of there he wasn’t breathing. So Reita did all he could to woke him up. He was still trying now, pushing down on his chest. It seemed to not work. That is until the man on the ground slowly opened his eyes.
‘Rei..?’ the other’s voice was weak but it was there. It was more than enough for Reita. He took the boy into his arms and held him tight. He was going to make things different from now on. He wasn’t ever going to let something like this happen again. He let his tears fall free. Because now everything was going to be fine.
