"Be careful, you're more fragile than you thought."

"I told you to not use your Sage Transformation!"

"If you keep doing this, you will die in the end!"

"You have an expire date..."

The blue haired boy checked the blood tests result maybe tenth time to see there was a mistake but wasn't. The result was true. He was dying. It was hard to believe and accept but...

"Meow~"

His cat rubbed it's head to Blue haired boy's hand as if it knew everything and wanted to support him. Blue haired boy stroked the cat's head and then took it in his arms.

He had to find someone who taking care of it after his own death -Oh my god, his own death-. He couldn't give his cat to Sarada because of two reasons. First, pets weren't allowed in Sarada's apartment and second she was already dead in the war. and Boruto was irresponsible (a little bit) but there was no other option.

He left the cat and collected the belongings of it and made his way to his-secret-crush-for-four-years's home. Before he knew it, he was front of his door. Blue haired boy rang the bell and waited for a minute.

"Mitsuki?"

The blonde opened the door. He was wearing his black cloak even the inside of his house. One of his eyes were injured by Kawaki who no longer alive.

"I'm here to ask you something and tell you something. May I?"

"Of course."

"My cat...Can you take care of it when I die?"

"When you what?!"

This talk was going to be a long one.

Boruto pulled him inside the house and made him sitting down the couch. His breath wasn't proper, Mitsuki could hear his heart's arrhythmias.

"What do you mean?!"

Mitsuki had to straight as much as he could because he had no right or intention to lie his Sun.

"I'm dying."

"You...You what...?"

Mitsuki gave him one of his signs, an emotionless smile and released his cat from his arms.

"I have only an hour left. Actually, I used ten minutes of it while coming here so I think I have only fifty minutes."

"What...? I...You are joking, right...?!"

"I'm sorry Boruto but I'm not."

He tried to remain his calm attitude. He had to do that or his fear was become apparent. He didn't want to be remembered as a coward by his crush.

"How can you be so reckless?! We need to do something! You can't die! I'm gonna take you to your parent and--"

"It won't work."

"Why?!"

He cried out. Why had Mitsuki to die just like his parents, sister, friends and teachers? Why everyone he loves had to die? Mitsuki was the only one he had now and...

"My parent didn't design me for a long life."

Mitsuki admitted.

"I am synthetic, so it was obvious from the start that my life won't be a long one."

"..."

"I've always knew, I have an expire date but normal people have one too, right?"

Boruto didn't response.
