"I promise, I'm not going anywhere"

============================

Pain is never a pleasant feeling

That is the first thought came in mind the second I regained consciousness

Seems like days have gone by already, my entire body is numb

"Water?"

Looking to the direction of the voice, I am greeted by a pair of heterochromia eyes

And instantly, guilt starts to devour me from inside

"Sor-"

Violent coughs took control before I could project even 1 single word

A burning agony followed through, from my trachea

"Stop talking, your larynx is damaged too much to function properly"

Obanai warned me as he stood up, pouring a cup of water before returning

"This might hurt"

The Serpent Hashira warned me again in which I only blinked in confusion

Without paying much attention I chucked the cup of water down my throat, I am technically, dehydrated, extremely, may I add

But not many water actually went down my body

A pattern of burning pain hits me as I immediately spit the rest of the water out, gasping for air as I gripped onto the blanket, hoping to release the discomfort

"I warned you"

Obanai only shrugged his shoulder upon my suffering, earning a glare from me

"I'll get Kocho, and I'm warning you, do not move around, you are extraordinarily weak at this point"

He briefly explained, as if I am not about to choke to death, and left the room

I leaned back onto the pillow behind me, closing my eyes, concentrating on subsiding the pain in my throat

Another part of me, is craving for Muichiro

I want him by my side, just his presence is enough to comfort me

Especially in these times when I feel so...weak

Taking a few deep breath, not gonna lie if there's some painkillers then it would really help here

Just as I am about to fall asleep again, sound of rushing footsteps woke me up

Groaning in tiredness, I opened my eyes, quite annoyed, as my gaze landed on the door, wanting to find out who dare to disturb me from falling asleep

The door slides open rather slowly, and I just have to blink my eyes from soreness

However, when I reopen them again, a slim figure rushed onto my body, forcefully pushing me back onto the pillow that I was resting against

I didn't have to look down to know who it is

The familiarity of his scent, his figure, even his breathing patterns reminds me, constantly, who this is

Tokito Muichiro

With trembling hands, I slowly, but firmly, circled my arms around the boy who is tightly clinging onto my clothing

Carefully, I buried my head in the crook of his neck, receiving the comfort I've been craving since I woke up

"I'm sorry"
