[Angst]

"Why don't you get it? I don't love you!" He screamed at the crying girl that look pale as a ghost.

"C'mon please, Atsuya! It's not like I want your to love me but let's hang out together!" You cried out when the said male refused to look at you, hearing him clicking his tongue. You know he is annoyed.

Annoyed of you.

He then fully turned to look at you, his index finger was pointed towards the maiden, "Listen here!" He hissed, "I love Nae and she is the only one for me. Got it? Gimme a break." He growled at the end before shoving his hands inside his pockets and start walking away, leaving you.

Alone.

You had to bite your lips to not let out a whimper. That's it until you could feel yourself want to vomit out something that you hand to throw your palm to your mouth, preventing it from coming out.

Well, for now.

Tears start to weld up because of the pain of rejection and in your lungs. It's really painful and you couldn't stand it. Someone walked over to you as he stared at your painful state. He couldn't do anything when his own state is same like yours.

"[Y/N]..." He whispered your name in a loving way, hating to see you in pain.

You held onto his shoulder and parted your mouth to say something but was cut off soon when the feeling of dryness once again appeared in your throat. You immediately stormed off to the nearest restroom to vomit it out.

Vomit the bloody petals out.

You coughed harshly, feeling your throat is in fire that you had to grip your own neck because of the pain. You already bear the pain for 6 months.

You couldn't bear it anymore.

There are two ways to stop the pain. Surgery or loving someone else.

But you are terrified. Terrified of the reality when the negative emotion start poisoning your mind especially the certain question.

What if he won't love me back?

You don't want to bear the pain again.

Coughing the petals out once again and flushed the toilet and walked out from it, only to see her gaze fell on the mirror to look at her face since she gained this illness. When is the last time she smile?

"Oh my god.." She walked closer and placed her fingertips on the glass that reflected her own face. She need to admit that she looks horrible.

Your face is completely pale as if all the your blood drained from your face. With dark bags that are now visible under your eyes from the lack of sleep because you would coughing out the petals each every 20 minutes.

Washing her face with cold water and closed the tap, she walked out from the rest room but much to her surprise when she see someone that she didn't expected to see is waiting for her in front of the restroom.

"Shirou? What are you doing here?" You questioned, coughing lightly. One of your eyes peek at him but realization hit you like a train that caused your eyes widened like a full moon.

He look exactly like you as he flashed you a sad smile. Your eyes widened and your whole face exchanged with a surprise one. The [color] haired maiden rushed over the male when he start coughing intensely with petals that some were covered with his blood flew from his mouth.

"Guess we have a same fate, huh, [Y/N]?" He chuckled bitterly and slowly looking up to lock his tired gaze with yours as you shook your head in disbelief.

"W-Who? Was it Nae? Or-" You had mentioned every girls name in Hakuren school and even at Raimon but he only reply with a negative shook, making you frowning even more. Your best friend have an ill and he is going to die in anytime because of this unrequited love illness.

Like you.

You whipped your head around to find something or a glass of water to stop him coughing any further but your gaze then landed on him when he softly grabbed your hand in his, blood stain at the corner of his mouth.

"Isn't is obvious, [Y/N]? I love you." You stopped panicking at his confession. He just confessed and you are the lucky girl. You are happy but you wouldn't call yourself lucky in this situation.

"Sorry Shirou, I can't return your feeling so please, get the surgery for me."You pleaded, looking at him with pleading eyes as your eyes start watery. You know you can't. You can't force yourself to love someone, do you?

He shook his head, holding both your hands in his, "I would never get the surgery. If that means that I'll rid my own love for you, then I'd rather die happily."

Your eyes widened at his words, tears finally spilled from your eyes, "But..."You don't want him to die. Not because of you the reason.

"I don't want you to die.." You whispered in a low tone, gazing on the floor as he cupped your cheeks in his cold palms. Even so, he have a different idea. To save both you and him.

Right at the corners of your eyes, you saw Atsuya but he is with Nae, happily chating with each other before bursting into a fit of laughter. Both their arm was linked together and the look on Atsuya's face. He is happy.

Your heart start aching again at the sight. You should be happy for him but why you couldn't? Is it because of your I'll made you feels like that? You don't know anymore.

"Then let's hang out together."

Your head snapped upwards to look at him with shock clearly at it written all over your face. What is in his mind?

"What?"

You frowned, in a time like this? But as you stared deeply in his eyes, it looks like he have a plan that he is sure it would be a success one.

"The main question is, do you trust me or not?"

He looks serious and you know he is but what is stopping you? Hesitation? Fear? You bite your lips nervously and slowly nodding your head, telling him that you agreed.

His whole face lit up.

Since then, both of you start hanging together but of course the ill wouldn't disappear like that but they are not giving him. They would spending their time together, studying together and do everything together that people around the school even look at them as a happy couple.

You wouldn't deny the fact that you like that. He would make your heart fluttered at his gentlemen attitude, his smile and everything about him make you look at him like someone else. Not as best friend anymore. You remembered the sentence that you read in a book in the school library last week as you are waiting for him to come back from restroom.

Probably because of the illness.

'A guy and girl can never be just friends.'

At first, you were confused but now you are not when you finally understand the meaning.

Shirou let out a yawn and look around him to clean it. But he found nothing. This leave him confuse but his eyes slowly widened at the realization that he even burst into tears of happiness.

"It worked." He murmured, couldn't stop the happy smile that slowly making its way to his face.

-At Hakuren-

Atsuya walked through the corridor with his hands in his pockets, he is not in mood to make some chaos around the school. Something is bothering him. You have stopped bothering him.

He should be happy but something is not right. Not that he care.

He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw the familiar figure is running towards his direction. She looks happy in his point of view.

He rolled his eyes with a sly smirk on his physiognomy, something is not change huh?

When you are getting closer, he waited for you to tackle him and plead for him to hanging out together but much to his surprised when you only ran past him.

He titled his head behind to look at you who is now jumped into his big brother's arms as they laughing happily with him swinging her around in the air before placing her on the ground and his eyes widened with his pupils dilated when they kissed.

He turned his head around to look at the window and sighed. Guess like he has gotten use with your presence.

But it looks like you will never return to him again. He forgot about one thing about human.

When they are on their limits, they stopped.
