[Light]

"Literally, you became the light of my life."

Makoto sat there in her hospital bed, a day just like the rest. She let out a small sigh, staring out the window, thinking of Takashi. He was at school at the moment and said he'd visit afterwards.

The doctor walked in, a smile on his face and light in his eyes. "Makoto."He said.

Makoto looked to him. "Ah, doctor. Good morning."She greeted him kindly.

"I have good news." The doctor seemed excited, eager yet he had sorrow in his eyes hidden behind the light of happiness.

Makoto tilted her head to the side. "Good news? What is it...?"She asked, her heart thumping.

"We...we have a heart that will fit you!" He exclaimed, filled with joy.

Her eyes widened. Unbelievable. Was this a dream? "W-What?" She stuttered, gripping the bed sheets." Is this.. for real?"

"It is..!"

Her blue eyes watered. She was so happy. She wanted to tell Takashi right away , tell him in person, but she couldn't get up and go to the school . She didn't want to risk her heart failing now.

She got up off her bed and hugged her doctor."I-I'm so happy...!"

The doctor left.

She recalled Sunday night. She spent it with Takashi. They were spending time with each other at the hospital garden, sitting on a bench.

Makoto looked up to the stars."I am.. really grateful for all you've done."She suddenly said, looking to her boyfriend." With you, I am the happiest I've ever been..." She gazed at him gently.

Takashi smiled only slightly. "I love you." He said, leaning in and kissing her sweetly. Makoto kissed him back, her weak heart thumping in her chest. Her cheeks heated up and if she had a happiness meter, it would surely of broke by now.

Makoto pulled away from the kiss only to reply. "I love you too.."In her gentle tone.

Takashi stared at her, wanting to say something. He never talked much but tonight was different. He glanced away then back at Makoto. "No matter what happens."He said. "Be happy , okay?"

She was slightly confused as to why he said that but nodded her head." Okay. I promise." She said, making Takashi smile.

They spent the rest of their time in each others arms, embracing the warmth they gave each other.

That night she was showered in love by her boyfriend.

That night she forgot about the death that was hunting her down.

Being happy with him..that was all that mattered at that moment.

Current day, this night, she would have the heart transplant.

Makoto looked to her phone to text her boyfriend, who wasn't here yet at the hospital strange enough, even though it was night time. ' Hey Takashi. Where are you?' She sent. She had told him about the heart transplant and he hadn't gotten back to her.

Two minutes later she got a reply.' I am busy at home. I promise to be there soon.' Then a few seconds later after sending that.' I am so happy you got a heart. I hope it goes well.' After that he sent a few smiley faces, which was strange.

Takashi never sent those when texting..

Makoto shrugged it off. She went to have her operation though she wished Takashi was here.

He was busy, that was okay.

Everything was going to be fine after this after all..hopefully.

It took a long time, but it was a success.

A few hours later Makoto woke up in her hospital bed. She slowly sat up and put her hand over her new heart.'It.. was a success?'She thought.

The doctors , nurses and her family walked in, smiling.

"Makoto..!" Her mother smiled wide, her eyes tearing up. They were all so happy they didn't know what to do with themselves.

"You guys.."Makoto mumbled, filled with joy. She bit her lip, her eyes watering too, but not in sorrow, but in joy instead. "I-Is Takashi here yet..?" She asked.

Their smiles fell. They had to drop their happiness act now.

Her mother looked to all of them before looking at Makoto with a dull expression on her face. " Takashi.." She put her hand where Makoto's heart was." is here."

Makoto stared at her. It took a few seconds before it clicked and any happiness on her face washed away. Her eyes widened in fear and sadness. Her, Takashi's..heart hurt. It hurt so much. "N-No.." She choked up. "No..!" Her mother took her hand off where Makoto's heart was, only to be replaced by Makoto's own hand, gripping her shirt material.

Her body trembled and tears fell from her eyes as she looked down." Takashi...!"

Takashi Morinozuka, upon receiving permission to do so, would give his heart to Makoto. Only under extreme circumstances

Current day, Makoto stood in front of a grave stone that belonged to a quiet, tall man. Sadly she gazed down at him. "You know.." She chuckled weakly." I always thought you would be the one standing at my grave."

She sat down, her eyes tearing up. "W-Why...?"She clenched her fists." Why must it of gone this way..? Could this of gone another way? Is there a universe where we die , but this time together.. perhaps when we're old and wrinkly?"

She ran her hand down the gravestone.

The graveyard was quiet, just like Takashi.

"Would I..."

Takashi stared at her, wanting to say something. He never talked much but tonight was different. He glanced away then back at Makoto. "No matter what happens."He said. "Be happy , okay?"

"even be able too..."

She was slightly confused as to why he said that but nodded her head." Okay. I promise." She said, making Takashi smile.

"keep that promise?"

[ 'True' Ending.]

[Obviously the real ending is where Makoto dies but this was just the one that I originally planned to do.]
