I saw my life pass through my eyes. I hoped I was dreaming and not actually dead. I saw all the war and tragedy, but also the good times. The times with Francis and Gilbert, and with Ned, Bel, and...Lovino. Lovino, all the good times with him, especially the times when he was little. A little puffball of red temper. It all stopped, and turned white.
I opened my eyes. How great it was to see the world again. When I woke back up I was buried in blankets and my head rested on a soft pillow. I looked to my left and saw my bookshelf. I slowly got up and walked over to it, pulling out a photo book from a while back. When I opened it photos fell out. One photo was of Gil and I and Francis photobombing in the back. Another was of me holding Lovi while Bel was laughing and Ned was just smoking his pipe. I placed the photos back in the book and placed the book back.
I opened the door cautiously when I heard soft footsteps in the kitchen. When I walked into the kitchen I almost bumped into Lovi. "Los Sientos, Lovi" I said.
He seemed angry but his fired look faded as he sighed. "You should be resting, you had me...worried... I sent for a doctor"
"The doctors alwa-" I said before getting cut off.
"Cut it out with your damn doctor jokes Toni, this is no joking matter" he said angrily.
"It's just a heat stro-" I tried replying before getting cut off yet again.
"Stop making excuses, how can you be so damn calm knowing your gonna die?!?" He said with a mixed expression.
I paced myself. Dying? Me? No. Impossible. Do nations die? "Well no reason to get worked up, I still have time so I'll live it and get on with life while I still have it"
"Jerk" he said
"No matter how many insults you want to say it's not gonna change the future" I said.
With me saying this I saw a tear from Lovino's face. I pulled a tissue from the box on the counter and wiped his tear while smiling at the touching moment even though I was still depressed over the fact I had a short life left.
He buried his head into my chest letting his arms hang on the side, loosely and weightless. I slowly wrapped my arms around him and kissed him on his head. He then wrapped his arms around me.
