26 ❋


How many times have you stopped and appreciated everything you have in your life?


How many times have you told yourself you're worth it?


How many times have you thought you deserved love?


Is it more than once?


Because I haven't.


Now that I might die, I have so many regrets.


I should've helped my mom.


I should've invited May over.


I should've told them I loved them more.


...


I should've told Keigo I love him.

"Is she gonna be okay?" Aizawa rubbed his sleepy eyes, too tired to look anyone in the eyes in fear that he might break. "We can't say for sure, she took a lot of hits and lost a tremendous amount of blood. She has numerous broken and fractured bones and a severe concussion. It's a miracle how she's hanging on."


Hearing those words leave the doctors mouth made Aizawa's heart drop. A miracle? Meaning she shouldn't be alive? He couldn't believe he might lose her. After everything they've been through together, too.


All those sleepless nights when she would get nightmares and he'd have to stay with her. All those breakdowns they went through together. All those times they helped each other cope.


He might never get to tell her that he's proud of her.


And all for what? Some stupid vendetta?

"You're what?" Aizawa's eyebrows furrowed as he talked into his phone. "I'm here. I'm back in Japan, do you know where Emiri is? I tried contacting her old number, you said it was the same one but she didn't answer and-" Koji rambled on for a while before Aizawa stopped him.


"She's in the hospital, her phone's off and she's unconscious. If you really wanna see her that bad I'll send you the hospital address. I'll explain what happened when you get here," Aizawa sighed deeply, wincing at the thought of having to explain everything all over again.


Although, he's somewhat relieved to see Koji again. It's been 4 years since they've seen each other, who knows how much he's changed?


"Who was that? Do they wanna see Emiri?" Keigo poked his head over Aizawas shoulder and attempted to catch a glimpse of his phone. "God, you really don't know how to hide how protective you are, do you?"


"Look who's talking..." Keigo mumbled under his breath with a grumble. Aizawa turned to face him and rolled his eyes before speaking. "It was an old friend of ours, he's back in Japan and wanted to see her."


An old friend? What kind of old friend? An ex maybe? Or an old crush? Wait... why was he thinking about these things? He could care less who he is to her.


Is what he tells himself.


"He'll be here soon, I'll give him a brief explanation. He'll be on a need-to-know basis for now."


Guess he isn't that close if Aizawa can't trust him with what happened. Keigo couldn't help but smile on the inside, at least he's more at ease now.


"I'm gonna go sit with her again, you should go home and get some rest soon," Keigo stood up and outstretched his arms with a groan.


"You and I both know neither of us are leaving until she walks out of this hospital," Aizawa slumped in his chair, getting comfortable for the long nights that await the two of them.


Keigo scoffed, "Yeah, I know."

"Aizawa?" a voice called for him. Aizawa slowly awoke from his slumber, rubbing his eyes groggily. When he opened his eyes he was met with a tall, lean man with messy brown hair and a smile painted on his face.


"Jesus, you've gotten taller? What are you, some kind of giant?" Aizawa scoffed and rose to his feet to embrace the man in a hug. "I'm only 6'5, you're just a little on the short side."


Aizawa mumbled under his breath before meeting eyes with the man, "It's good to see you Koji."


"You too, so where is she? What happened?" Koji sat down with Aizawa as he sighed and looked at the floor. "She had a run in with the same villain who killed her mom a while back and he hasn't left her alone ever since."


Koji's eyes flashed with anger and fear, he means Dabi? The same Dabi that ruined her life? What the hell does he want? "She's in a coma right now, doctors aren't sure when she'll wake up... or if she'll wake up."


Aizawa felt his own eyes sting at the mention of Emiri not waking up. Koji saw this and had the same reaction, if Aizawa was worried he should definitely be worried too.


"Can I see her?" he swallowed to stop the tears from falling. Aizawa lazily pointed to the first room closest to them and Koji immediately stood up and walked towards the room.


"Koji." He stopped in his tracks when he heard Aizawa call his name and turned around to see the man with teary eyes, "I should warn you, it's not an easy sight to see."


Koji swallowed as he nodded and walked into the room. To his surprise, the first thing he saw was a pair of big vermillion wings hunched over the hospital bed. He looked over the pair of wings to see him kissing Emiri's forehead.


"Excuse me?" he hesitated to call out for the man, but he wanted to see her. Keigo turned around and locked eyes with Koji before looking him up and down and standing up straight to face him.


"Sorry for interrupting, my name is Koji Komuro, I'm an old friend of Emiri," Koji hesitantly smiled, Keigo's stare was frightening. It was like he was protecting her in some sort of territorial matter.


"So are you her boyfriend?" Koji asked. Keigo felt his face flush, "Something like that," he mumbled. Hearing that answer set something off in Koji. Almost as if he were suddenly protective of Emiri now, and Keigo could feel it.


"Are you anything like her ex?" Koji's tone was cold and sharp, a tone that could send chills down anyone's spine. If he was being honest, it surprised Keigo, but he was damned if he was going to show it.


"Fuck no."
