Keep Smiling

It's Nice To Meet You

It's the middle of July, summer. It's too damn hot... I scoffed the ice cream I had in my hand as I walked back to Izaya's room whilst holding his iced coffee against my forehead, it cooled me down a lot. I finished my ice cream by the time I got there, I opened the door to hear what sounded like a girl giggling. I looked into the room to see a girl around the age of five sat on the bed opposite Izaya, she was smiling and giggling whilst Izaya was talking. He looked tired, his face couldn't be more pale or thin. He's reached his limit... That's all I could think... He looked over at me and smiled a little
"Welcome back. I thought you were getting an ice cream too?"
"I ate it already... It's too damn hot, I needed something to cool me down quickly"
I walked into the room and held out his coffee for him, he took it from me with shaky sloppy hands
"Makes sense.... Thank you"
I look at the girl who was staring back at me, her hair was black and very long, it went down to her elbows by the looks of it, her eyes were a deep dark blue, like the sea. I tried to smile at her
"So who might this beautiful young princess be?"
She perked up a little and smiles shyly, her voice was very quiet
"I- I'm Yuki.... Am I r- really a princess?"
Izaya watched and smiled
"Of course! A girl as pretty as you must be!"
Yuki frowned a little, she was going to say something but was interrupted by the nurse who walked in
"Yuki you should be in your own bed resting and Mr Orihara is ill too" she gave me and Izaya a small soft Smile "I'm sorry if Yuki's been bothering you"
Izaya put his hand up a little and smiled "it's fine, she's actually stopped me from being bored" he then looks at Yuki "but shouldn't you be going back to your room? Your parents might get worried"
Yuki was looking down and fiddling with her skirt "no... I don't have parents. I'm here.... B- because I'm getting help to become a real princess a- and go home to my parents in a big castle!" she didn't sound as squeeky and happy like before at the beginning but then perked up a little, the nurse smiled a little
"That's right Yuki, but could you please go back to your room? The doctor is there to check if you are top marks like usual!"
Yuki smiled then jumped off the bed, she smiled a big grin at me and Izaya
"it was nice meeting you Ojisan and Izaya! I'll come back later!!" she then skipped out the room happily
"Wait..... O- Ojisan?! I'm not old! Cheeky little-"
"Shizuo." Izaya cut me of but had a small smile on his face, I smiled too and sat down finally the nurse was frowning now
"I'm very sorry about Yuki.... She's only five and is a patient here. Unfortunately she's an orphan... She'd here until... Well no need to guess... Her treatment's too expensive for the hospital alone to cover"
Izaya's smile went, so did mine. As much as I hate humans... Letting a kid die is too much... Izaya yawned, I sat up and looked at him "you need to sleep, that kid's took too much energy out of you"
He nodded then laid down and went to sleep, the nurse left quietly and I just sat there. I watched his monitors continuously beep the same rhythm, Beep.... Beep.... Beep.... Soon it'll be continuous... I closed my eyes and tried to think of other things, take my mind off that.
