Hold Me (Keith Kogane X Reader)

16- The End...

>-+*Your POV*+-<

It's the day of my release and my donor is getting better at the whole breathing thing. I haven't gotten to meet him yet because the doctors said he's still under close supervision by staff. I'm happy that they're taking precautions to ensure his safety. But today is the day. Takashi told me he is now open to visitors.

I got him flowers. It was the least I could do since he gave me his lung. I wanted to go with Takashi so he could introduce me but he has worked. I've been extremely nervous. Meeting the person who saved my life, my hero alone is extremely intimidating. It was even hard trying to walk into his room. By the time his door was in view, every step I took going forward was reversed.

This is what you have been waiting for Y/n. No backing out now! You can talk to him! Just a simple "thank for the lung" and a "how are you doing" and you're fine!

After half an hour I finally build up the courage to talk to him. I walk in and... he's asleep. I plop my arms on the sides of my body and slouch a bit in disappointment. I thought Takashi told me he was awake. Even if he was asleep I grabbed the empty vase on the table set on his vase and fill it with water. I place the bouquet of Lilium starlights (which are very beautiful btw), maroon roses, red dahlias, and small blue bunches of flowers. I sit on the cushioned blue chair on the side of his bed he rested peacefully on.

I lingered in the feeling of frustration and emptiness for a while. I hated that he had to suffer through what I should be going through. I didn't deserve his kindness. I'm supposed to be dead! The silence swallowed me whole and I couldn't bear to look at him in a hospital gown with wires and tubes tangled around him and in his body. Even if I could hear his heartbeat I couldn't help but think he was dead. My heart sank and I start crying.

"I know I don't know you but you have changed my life. I'm grateful for you and your kindness." I said in between sobs. "I thought I could talk to you today but I'll try again tomorrow. I really want you to hear my gratitude, " I finish off letting the sobs and whines echo in this empty room.

All I could hear was my disgusting crying and... heavy breathing. The beeps I drowned out became clear and played a rapid beat in my ears. I look at the male that laid in front of my face who was struggling to breathe. The frustration and emptiness that I once felt turned into panic and worry. I spammed the button for a doctor for a solid minute. No one came so I ran out of the room screaming for help and to get someone to help. I screamed and yelled for what felt like forever. Soon a crowd of doctors and nurses ran my way and pushed me out of the way. The door closed and I was left to only wonder what was happening.

My knees fell to the ground, more tears fell from my eyes, my head throbbed, and my heart broke.

This is all my fault. I KILLED HIM! PLEASE, GOD, KILL ME NOW! LET MY LUNG COLLAPSE AND LET ME PASS OUT! I WANT TO DIE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!!!! I-I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Heavy breathing, tears, heartbreaks, cancer, death...

I thought things would change and I would be happy. I have gotten my life back so why does my welcoming party feel like crap? I tried my best. I thought it was enough. Now it's not?. When will I ever be happy?

Buzzes were all I could hear from that point on. Something underneath my head was wet. I was warm and comfortable. Suddenly everything hit me. I was at home, in my bed, laying on a pillow soaked in my own tears. But how?

On my bedside table was a note.

"Y/n, I dropped you off yesterday. You fell asleep in the middle of the hospital hallway crying. Idk if anything happened but please don't cry. You look better when you're smiling :)"

The note ended there but there was no clear information of who it could be from. Still, I couldn't help but smile at their words. I assume it was Takashi but he's never one to leave notes. He would just drop me off and then stay. Sighing I get out of bed and groom myself to try again with Keith today.

----TIME SKIP----

I check into the front desk, go into the elevator, and walk over to Keith's room to friend it empty... I look around his room and in the bathroom but he's not there. I walk out to find a nurse.

"Excuse me?" I caught the nurses attention.

"Yes? How may I help you?"

"What happened to the patient in this room?"

"He was discharged from the hospital last night."

"Oh really?" I looked down. "Why?"

"There was nothing the hospital could do for him so it would be a waste of money and time if he stayed any longer."

I didn't know how to feel about the situation. I was angry and confused. I walked away from the nurse and left the hospital. Months pass and my parents wanted me back in Japan. My flight is today. I'm already at the airport and Takashi is seeing me off.

"Its gonna suck not seeing you as much, " Takashi said.

"Don't worry Takashi! I'll make sure to visit!"

"Hopefully. I'll miss you so much Y/n!" He wrapped his arms around me in a right bear hug.

"Shiro!" A male voice yelled in the background.

Takashi let go of me and I turned around to find myself face to face with an Asian boy with a mullet. He was wearing a black shirt, a red and white jacket, jeans, and boots. He seems familiar but I didn't know how. He stopped and stared straight into my eyes.

The boy left his luggage right behind him and ran for me. He engulfed into a big hug lifting me off the ground. I was shocked but his touch was enchanting. I wrapped my arms around his neck touching his fluffy, soft mullet. His scent was extremely familiar. I was comfortable in his embrace. He let me down and I stared into his deep purple eyes.

"Keith..." I whispered. A tsunami of memories crashed down on me and I could remember him. He was my dream boy.

"Y/n... Do you remember me?" He asked.

"I do. I really do." Soon more memories filled my head. He's my donor. "You gave me your lung!" he chuckled.

"Keith, are you done being so lovey-dovey with my little sister?" Takashi interrupted.

Keith soon let go and gave Takashi and simple bro hug.

"Thanks for picking me up Shiro, " Keith said.

"No problem. I had to drop off Y/n any way."

"Where are you going?" Keith asked me in a more monotoned voice than before.

"I'm going back home to Osaka."

"Oh"

"Where did you go?"

"I went home to."

"Where to?"

"Korea."

"I see." I checked my phone and saw my flight would almost be loading. "Ah! I gotta go! I'll see you guys next time I visit! Bye!"

I jogged away from them. Every step I took felt like I was leaving part of me behind. I didn't want to leave. I stopped in my tracks and looked back at the two of them who were watching me.

"Call me Takashi!" I yelled back and looked at the boy right next to him. "And Keith! Take care and thank you so much my dream boy!" I waved and left for my flight.

This is it. The end of my story here.
