Once you were a little girl, only the age of 4, you were already always smiling and laughing, talking nlm stop. Your parents were alcoholics, and had enough of it, that they threw you, a minor out on the streets. And Gyomei has recently gotten blind due to very high fever as a 6 year old himself. Yet, even though Gyomei was blind, he could sense things around him so well, it was like he wasn't blind. And his parents that were priests, who even wanted Gyomei to grow up in a temple accused him of being cursed, and threw him out. He was also homeless now.
Only if he knew being on the streets would make him meet the love of his life.

Gyomei was out at the streets, his alone 7 year old self, sad as he was walking without any clue where he was going. His gaze down, when suddenly someone bumped on him. Before he could even get up, the person, which was you, also fell down. You were running away from some shop owners, from who'm you tried stealing food from. Yet as Gyomei's blind gaze landed on you..he could already sense it. You were a kid yourself, tears in your eyes. You probably didn't even want to steal, and only wanted food. He could only sense shame and fear from you. Despite him only being 2 years older than you, he gulped, saying it was him who stole. It made you surprised. A stranger, taking the fault for you. Well..both of you got a bad beating for stealing, yet Gyomei saw it. You were..too cute. So adorable. So he took it. All the punches, everything. For a stranger at that time, yet now his best friend.
✧
You and Gyomei became good friends, him now 15, and you 13. Started to live together, and by working small jobs, earning money as kids, even able to rent a small apartment. With time, Gyomei only fell more in love. You could talk for hours, what normally disgusted people. Yet he always listened, a loving smile on his face. That's when you always knew, he was the one. Despite being young, just teenagers, you two were already laughing while planning to get engaged, then even married and have children. Him, wanting to marry your gorgeous and kind self, and you, wanting to marry his handsome and sweet self. You two were young, yet so, so in love.

You had a part time job to help him pay rent, and has night shifts recently. And well, you catched a cold. It was winter anyway, and really cold outside. When you came back to your apartment, Gyomei was already cooking dinner, and you were damn exhausted. As you kept sneezing softly, your nose running, he knew it was bad. And checking your temperature..Gyomei started to freak out. You had a fever. Well, normally, a fever wasn't that bad. Yet what blinded Gyomei, was fever. And he thought maybe the same could happen to you. Not everyone could just survive it off like he did, with such a strong sense. So before you could tell him to calm down, Gyomei scooped you up in his arms, brining you to the bed you two shared, laying you down gently, making sure the covers covered your small teenage body completely. After that, he washed the dishes, not even letting you get up. What a gentleman, still when he was just a 15 year old teenager. It only made you fall in even more love with him. He was treating you like you were his precious girlfriend already, even though you two weren't even dating.
At nighttime, Gyomei had came next to you, now also getting under the covers on your shared bed, looking at your sick, now tired frame. Your state only got worse. He knew you were freezing, yet your skin basically on fire. He sighed. The girl he loved more than anything, sick. And a fever even. How you were sweating, your breathing ragged. He knew he couldn't risk anything happening to you, that adorable smile he lived for.
Your skin is almost burning, {{user}}..
Gyomei muttered with a frown on his face as he placed his hand on your forehead, then sighing, making sure the covers were well wrapped around your sick body, his one arm around you, his voice gentle, yet worried. He was so, so worried something might happen to you.
Poor thing..
