Chapter 1...

Touya and Cheren were boys who lived in a region called Unova. They had normal lives living there. They would chat to one another through their phones or their Xtranscievers. They would hang out sometimes. Sometimes they would talk to Bianca.

Cheren did become a gym leader in Aspertia City. He also became a teacher too. He is a Normal type gym leader, then again. Touya decided to pay Cheren a visit. He walked to Cheren's house in Nuvema Town and knocked on the door. Cheren opened it. "Hey, Touya." He said to Touya. "Hey, Cheren!" He replied with a smile. "May I come in?"

Cheren nodded. "Of course." He replied and moved so Touya can enter in. Touya entered in Cheren's house and looked around. "Wow, Cheren. Your house barely changed." Touya said with a quiet snicker. Cheren blushed a little. "S-Shut up..." Cheren said quietly, loud enough for Touya to hear. Touya did a snicker in return.

Touya and Cheren talked during Touya's visit until Touya left his house. Touya decided to go back to his house and lied down on his bed. He loved everything about Cheren. His black hair, his blue eyes, his glasses when he had them, everything. He just loved everything of Cheren. Everything about Cheren was so loving to him.

But what he didn't know was that he would never see those looks again.

Never again...

Touya then began to feel drowsy. He then fell asleep on his bed. He dreamed of Cheren. In case if anyone hadn't noticed, Touya had a crush on Cheren. He slept very well. He knew that one day, he will confess to Cheren. Or so he thought.

Later at night...

Touya was sleeping until he felt a very hard shake on him. "W-what?!" He screamed until he saw who shook him awake. "T-Touko?! What is going on?!" He yelled at her. "Look, you can snipe me for this later! But something terrible is happening!" Touko replied. Touya can clearly see the panic in her eyes. "Well, what is going on?" He asked.

"It's Cheren! His house is burning!" She yelled. Touya stood there frozen.

'His house is burning!'

'His house is burning!'

'His house is burning!'

Those words kept repeating in his head and he runs out of his room and out of his house. Touko following behind him.

When Touya ran out, he saw Cheren's house in flames. Touko was right. His house is on fire. Bianca, Touya's mother, Touko, Touya, and other people who lived in Nuvema Town saw the burning house. He realized something. Cheren was not out of the house. Oh god, Cheren! He needed to save him!

Touya then ran into the burning house. "Touya!" His mother, Touko, and Bianca screamed as Touya ran inside.

"Cheren! Cheren!" He called out but no response. "Cheren! Cheren! CHEREN!" He yelled out. He kept calling out for Cheren until he heard a groan. He saw Cheren, stuck under a table after the table crashed on him. Touya pushed the burned table off. "Are you okay, Cheren?" He asked.

Cheren was dizzy a little. "I-I don't know..." He said in his dizziness. "Come on, I'll get you out." Touya said and Cheren slowly nodded. Touya took Cheren's hand and they tried to get out of the house that was getting consumed by the horrible fire. Cheren then heard a strange noise. He looked up to see a major part of the ceiling about to fall on Touya. "Touya, look out!" He screamed.

Touya looked up to see the falling ceiling. Cheren pushed Touya out of the way and the ceiling crashed on Cheren. Cheren let out a painful and a loud cry becuase of the burn. The ceiling was burning and it did landed on Cheren very hard. Touya gasped at the horrific sight. "Cheren!" He cried out and tried to get the ceiling off him but let out a loud yelp as he suffered first-degree burns from it.

"Don't worry, Cheren! I'll get you out!" Touya yelled as he tried to push the ceiling off. Just then, a little part of a ceiling fell on Touya's arm and Touya yelped. He looked at his arm. It was only a second-degree burn.

"Touya..." Cheren coughed out. I looked at him. "You have to get out...now..." He coughed out even more. I was shocked by this fact. "What?! No! I'm not leaving you, Cheren!" Touya yelled. Cheren looked at him. It seems that he had small tears in his eyes. "You have to...You'll die if you don't get out..." Cheren breathed out. "But you'll die if I don't get you out!" Touya replied.

Cheren looked around. He knew that the house was probably gonna explode in a matter of minutes. "Touya...go..." He groaned out. Touya started crying. "No, Cheren...I won't leave you!" Touya said while crying. Cheren looked at him once again. Touya saw his look. He wasn't mad at all. Instead, he was smiling? "W-why are you smiling, Cheren?" Touya asked to him while choking on his sobs.

"Touya, listen to me...I know you like me. I can understand that through your kindness towards me and all...But I don't want you to die here and now. You must live on." Cheren replied to Touya with tears finally falling down his cheeks. "I know I'm gonna die anyway...Go Touya...Save yourself..." He replied. Touya heard those words and more tears fell down his face.

Touya nodded and left the house quickly. "Save...yourself..." Cheren breathed out before the entire house was engulfed in flames.

Touya managed to get out and look at the sight. Cheren was trapped. Touya knew that Cheren was gonna die. Touya looked at his mother. His mother was calling 911 to report the burning house. Touya then felt dizzy from being in the burning house. He then fell to the ground. However, Touya falling did made a loud noise in which everybody noticed.

Bianca ran to him. "Touya! Touya!" She called out. What Touya only heard was Bianca calling for him, police and the fire trucks coming, people screaming for help, his mother calling out for him, and nothing else. His vision began blurring. Touya then passed out and everything went black.
