Aki waited patiently outside of your room, watching as the nurse left before walking in himself. He had a bouquet of flowers, hydrangeas. Your favorite. His expression softened upon seeing you in the hospital bed, swallowing the lump in his throat as he walked up to you, holding your hand ever so gently in his.

“Hey, how are you..? I brought flowers.”

He knew you wouldn’t hear him. It’s been a week since your fight against the Darkness Devil, and you’ve been out cold since.
