he had patience for the girl he so desperately loved, he waited for when she was ready, for when she was out of her comfort zone. she was scared, absolutely terrified to let this happen. she wasn't ready for this, but she knew being with him was goi...
"in love and sickness will I only ever feel those feelings of dread for you."

as you could tell, y/n was having a coughing fit right now. this has been happening for a couple of months now, she's gone to the doctor; this made her dread it the most because the shocking news she had gotten wasn't good at all.
for this she had to wait till the doctors were able to finally get the results back. and ever since that day she's been getting sick more than she could keep up with; miles had gotten the hang of it and he's been taking care of her with the help of mrs. grose and flora.
as of right now today was one of those days where she wouldn't stop from coughing for at least five minutes. this made her vulnerable and she didn't like it at all, yet she felt as if she would just collapse being by herself. miles had come back to the room with a cup of water for her, holding luna as he walked in.
"here moony, I got the water and the painkillers you asked for." he handed them to his wife, and as he did he felt her hands were as cold as ice. he sighed and put luna in her crib as he grabbed blankets and put them on top of her, trying to get her fever down.
"I'm sorry for being such a burden milo." he shook his head, "you aren't a burden, I'm doing this because I care for you. and what akind of husband would I be if I didn't take care of you?" y/n chuckled, well that was cut short when she went into a coughing fit.
miles sat her up to help her relieve the coughs or to help her. luna from the crib stared at her parents as she saw this, she whined out loud; she didn't know what was going on but she knew whatever was happening to her mother wasn't good.
"m-ma-mama!" both miles and y/n looked at their daughter with wide eyes and big smiles. "y-" she went into a coughing fit again, when she calmed down though she looked at luna.
"yes sweetie?" luna held her small hand out to her, y/n grabbed it and smiled. "o-okay?" luna asked her as she rubbed her mother's cold hand.
"I'm fine, love." the one year old baby nodded. "she's adorable, I hope she grows up to be a fine kid." miles looked at y/n, "what's that suppose to mean?" "it means nothing milo." he nodded, still not convinced.
*+:｡.｡ ｡.｡:+*
it was the middle of the night and y/n needed to use the bathroom. she of course didn't want to wake miles, so she got up and decided to this herself. and as she did that, she grabbed the wall for guidance, she was quite weak right now but she needed to do this.
"come on y/n, you can do it!" she whispered to herself as she walked to the bathroom. and before she could even turn the bathroom light on she saw black dots clouding her vision and she collapse.
this woke miles up as he saw her in the ground next to the bathroom. he quickly got up and picked her up, he put her on their bed and checked her temperature, and when he did she was burning. he grabbed a towel and wet it quickly with water and put it on her forehead, he didn't know what happened or how this happened, but he knew she was trying to go to bathroom.
"come on moony, please wake up. or at least try and calm your temperature." miles at this point was worried more than anything, mrs. grose walked in and saw this. she walked over and helped miles.
"what happened miles?"
"well she was going to the bathroom and then she collapsed" the older lady nodded, still helping miles with y/n.
*+:｡.｡ ｡.｡:+*
a few hours passed and y/n woke up. she sighed, she didn't mean to wake miles or anyone with her collapsing. of course she looked around and saw miles playing with luna.
she smiled at the thought but quickly went into a coughing fit, her nose started bleeding all of sudden.
miles - who had known y/n was now awake - got up and wiped her nose as she coughed. after her coughing fit he kissed her forehead. she smiled at him, even though he didn't see it.
"I hope there's a cure for your sickness, moony." he said out of the blue. "me too milo, me too." she sighed, she hated keeping things from miles, even though she knew that she didn't have much time to live. his happiness always meant something to her.
she knew this was the sickness that took her father. she remembers those nights her mother spent with her father as he coughed and everything. she knew she was going to get it sooner or later, she just hoped it was later.
"milo, can we speak?" miles looked at her worriedly, he didn't know what it was or anything, but he didn't like the tone she used, but nonetheless he sat down on the bed.
"what is it?" y/n cleared her throat before speaking.
"this sickness isn't cure-able. and it never will be, it's something I have to deal with until I finally rest from the sickness. my dad had it and apparently it followed me, I'm so sorry for b-being li-like this." she had started crying, she knew why though - it was because her heart was being shattered as she spoke about it.
"so, you're stuck with this?" miles' voice cracked as he asked, this meant he was on the verge of tears. "yeah, I only have a few months- maybe years even, if I continue but I don't think I will. so promise me, if don't make it...."
"what is it?" both were in tears at this point, he didn't like this at all but he had to promise her.
"promise me... promise you'll move on when I pass, pr-promise you'll live your life to the fullest even if I'm not there anymore. promise that when I pass that you'll take care of our daughter the same way you'd do with me. even if it hurts please live even if I'm not here anymore." he nodded, his tears falling down like a water fall- except this was never ending. y/n wiped his tears as she herself cried, and as she did she gave him a smile full of love and happiness.
"and even if you don't believe me, I'll be watching you from the stars and heaven. and if I end up in hell I'll still find a way to care for you from afar. because you are my one and only, including our daughter. so please promise me you'll do this even if it kills you and luna." miles continued crying, y/n knew this was going to happen, yet it still hurts even if she repeated these words over and over to herself. miles smiled at her, wiped her tears and he gently kissed her hands that were on his cheeks. and he spoke:
"I promise moony."
*+:｡.｡ ｡.｡:+*
"but even those weren't enough for me to feel you beside me, because our love was supposed to last.
even if it hurt us till death did do us part, and well that did happen to us."
