I closed my eyes as I lay on the hospital bed. Yes, I was ill. I was suffering from cancer. It's been a while since I last went out of the hospital. My family? I don't have one of those anymore. I ran away from home when I was little out of anger to my dad. Yes, it's hard for me to be a working student since I was all alone, but I don't regret it. Ever since I met a certain someone...
Last year, there was a meteor shower. I thought it would be great to watch it on top of a hill, so i went to the nearest hill. There, I met a slightly younger guy who was taller than me. His name was Ryutaro. Ryutaro had a lover named Daiki. Unfortunately, on that same day that I met him, his lover broke up with him. As a new friend, I thought I should probably comfort him. So I did.
"Ryutaro-san.. it's okay.. There are lots of other people worth your love.." I said as I gently patted him on the back. "I mean.. There's still your family right?"
"I don't have a family anymore." he replied with a sad tone of voice.
"Ah.. Sorry for bringing that up. But hey, we're the same." I smiled. "I too don't have a family anymore."
After saying a lot of stuff that can comfort my new friend, thankfully he cheered up. We had a lot of similarities. We were both working students and had no family. Two weeks after, we became very close friends. Not only that...I also fell desperately in love with him.
Another two weeks passed. I finally decided to confess to him. I knew it was weird to confess to a guy, but I couldn't help it.
"Ryu-chan." I called him.
"Yeah? What is it?"
"I love you." I said straightforwardly. I had to much courage, but it didn't matter.
Ryutaro tried to stop himself from laughing. "Pfft.... I like you too Chii! What's with suddenly saying that you love me? You're not gonna die are you?"
Oh my God. I didn't realize he was really THAT slow. I already said it in the simplest way.. I had to give up on confessing that day..
The next morning, Ryutaro left our litlle apartment earlier than usual. We lived together because we couldn't afford to buy one apartment for each of us. We were THAT poor. He was fired from his previous job but he immediately got a new one. He was working at a gas station and I was working at a small convenience store.
After taking a shower and dressing up, I left the apartment. I was walking on the sidewalk when I saw that there was a fire nearby. It was the gas station!
I ran with all my might. Tons of people were seriously burned and some were dead. I quickly searched for Ryutaro. He wasn't in the crowd of people who got injured. This can't be happening.. I saw two firemen carrying a covered dead body. Please... please let it not be him.. I went close to the body and uncovered the face. My tears fell in an instant. It was him. It was Ryutaro.. He had serious burns on his body, but his face was still recognizable.
My heart hurt more this time. I'd rather have him love somebody else than to die. I want to see his smile.. But now, I can never see any of it ever again.
Months passed since that day. I went to visit his funeral every weekend. I was just really lonely. The pain I was feeling when he left never lessened.
Now here I am in the hospital, suffering every minute of the day. If I can just have a glimpse of him.. the suffering would go away.
Suddenly, I felt this warmth. Someone was holding my hand. I slowly checked to see who it was. My eyes widened as I saw him. It's him.. It's Ryutaro.. He was smiling at me and was saying something. I couldn't hear him... so I read his lips.
"I love you too." he said.
I was starting to cry. I was ready to leave. I was gently closing my eyes. My life was complete.
