he was awake... for now.

sicheng cried. a lot. yuta barely had the strength to move. they were only barely keeping him alive with multiple different machines hooked up. just until his family came.

"do you... really want to h-hear me sing again? im not that good." he murmured- the quietest voice he'd ever heard from the older boy. "no, you're going to hurt yourself even more."

"my organs are crushed. i don't think anything can hurt more than that." he tried shifting in the hospital bed- but ended up letting out a shrill yelp- and sicheng covered his ears. he felt like trash for being the cause of his pain. especially since he was typically the strongest, and most calm of the group.

his head was spinning as a doctor came in to rehook some needles and give him an injection before she was out again like a flash. yuta simply coughed- although it sounded more like a wail. "please, stop... stop..." he thought to himself, a tear slipping from his cheek.

the older frowned. raisint a shaky arm to wipe it away. "one last time, sicheng? i... dont mind." he wanted to shake his head no- that he wanted him to just sleep and heal. but in the back of his head, he knew;

yuta was going to die.

he wiped his own tears again, and nodded briskly, checking the clock before picking up his good hand once again.

"sometimes, im afraid... your smile that's so beautiful. what if it's fake? are you a fox wearing... a mask of an angel? im actually worried-" as tired and lazy as he sounded, he was trying his best, and sichent wanted to burst into tears all over again. he rubbed his arm when he started coughing again.

"i saw the face of an angel- saw the face of an angel... i saw the face of an angel- face of an angel..."

those were the last words he would ever say. he would leave the world with a small smile on his face, and his life lingering in the air with only one final sentence.

"i love you... sicheng.
forever and always."
