in a room there's a boy sitting on the bed why playing a game on his phone he had a long hair reaching his shoulder he also has black eyes and he look so malnourished that he has sunken cheeks......

"haaa"

the boy sigh while putting his phone on the table near his bed he look pissed while looking at the screen of his phone that display a defeat sign...

he look at the ceiling and close his eyes.

his feeling frustrated that he lose...

after a couple of seconds he opened his eyes and was about to reach his phone again but before he reach his phone..

knock knock knock knock knock

he heard someone knocking on the door and he sigh

he retract his hand on reaching on his phone and sit normally on the bed..

and the door open even without his consent

and then a middle aged woman came in after the door was open.

the middle aged woman look at the boy who's sitting on the bed.

" oh your already awake yukkuri-san.... good morning"

the woman bow a little and smile after she greet the boy

the boy who's called
yukkuri or his full name yukkuri tanaka

the one sitting on the bed also
bow little bit and greet the woman

"good morning"

" you have to get blood sample again today"

yukkuri ask the woman who's slowly approaching his bed..

the woman smile wry at yukkuri.and answer

" yes the the doctor said that we need to get sample again"

"okay".

yukkuri extended his skinny malnourished arms that also full of injection marks from the previous....

the woman quickly take sample of his blood ..

while the woman was taking his blood yukkuri suddenly murmured to himself ..

" what is even the point of this has"

"Hmmm"

the woman who heard yukkuri has troubled look on her face and was about to say something to cheer him up but she cannot think of anything to say to yukkuri..

so after finishing taking yukkuri's blood sample
the woman bowed a little and tried to quickly get out of the room...

after yukkuri see that the woman get out of the room he quickly reach his phone again.

then.

" oh already done.....then let's play again one more time... noob "

after he pick up his phone there's a voice he heard....and he look at where the direction of the voice coming from..

he look at his left side there's a chair near the window and there's a boy sitting on it.....the boy had white hair and blue eyes and his wearing strange clothes he look like a magicians or wizards in a game and he's also holding a phone....

after looking at the boy yukkuri speak in a somewhat angry voice......

" you bastard your just lucky that my fingers are getting numb or else you're the one calling your self a noob"

". hahahah poor excuses that's what you always say every time you lose hahaha"

the boy answer yukkuri with a happy tone that make yukkuri even more angry 💢

" ohh then let's play again and this time I am going to beat you with a big margin you bastard so that you cannot laugh anymore"

"hahahahaha ok ok"

after that both yukkuri and the boy look at the phones that they holding and started playing again....
but before that yukkuri glance a little bit on the boy and think to himself......

'who really the fuck is this bastard'

this boy came up a couple of months ago.
all of the sudden in his room and started talking to him... yukkuri thought that he was dreaming at that time so he talk to him ...

but next day the boy come again with a phone in his hand asking yukkuri to play with him.....

and just like the first time he entertained the boy by talking to him...and he also played with him

for yukkuri at that time it's quite fun and frustrating playing with the boy.... because they always finding excuses when they both lose at each other. and trash talk the loser..

at some point he already knows that he's not dreaming anymore......and he didn't tell anyone about the boy because he don't want anyone to think that he's crazy.....

also when the nurses come in the room to get his blood sample or check on him they didn't seem to see the boy so he didn't bother to ask them if they can see what he's seeing...

instead he asked them to help him read the name of the boy on the game that his playing. of course yukkuri already know the name of the boy in the game he just wanted to know if the other also can see it.... and he's shock it seems like others can see the name of the boy. he's a little bit relieved that the other can see the name of the boy on the game ..he thought to himself that the person he's playing against really does exist ....now the only question for him is who's the boy in his room... yukkuri think that maybe he's to lonely or stress that he's being delusional

' pffft but terminator 900 what kind of name what's that'

the boy on the chair near the window notice that yukkuri was looking at him...

" hey what's wrong Don't Tell me you're getting cold feet nad scared on loosing to me again. hahahahaha"

after hearing the boy voices yukkuri was getting mad again but he managed to calmed down and speak..

" like hell I am afraid of loosing to you bastard"

" then what's wrong with you . looking at me like you have something to ask"

after hearing the boy yukkuri spoke

"hhhm I know your only my delusion but! "

" delusion"

"but who are you really"

yukkuri look at the boy after he ask ...

he didn't ask the boy Even once of his name before. but now he's interested and wanted To know his name aside from he's lame name on the game....

the boy look also at yukkuri and close his eyes and smile smugly... after a couple of seconds he finally opened his eyes and quickly stand up on the chair that he's sitting on.

"iam the sage of death 💀......"

the boy look so proud when he introduced himself to yukkuri

on the other hand yukkuri has a look of disgust In he's face ..

"sage of death???"

" yeah sage of death or you can call me also the death it's self......"

.....

'what's wrong with this kid what. Sage of death is he talking about....huh. well he's just my delusion why did I even bother ask.....it's doesn't matter anymore... at least I have someone to talk and play before I died '

". haaa"

yukkuri sigh. at the introduction of the boy and look away from him disinterested on what just the boy said.....

" hey come on don't became disinterested in me All of the sudden...I am telling you who am I your going to regret it you know not knowing me"

yukkuri ignore the boy and and just look at his phone..while the boy was appealing him so that yukkuri ask more about him.......

" I got it, I got it your the sage of death right. I know now so let's already play again so that I can beat you already. come on"

"hmmm I don't think that you really get to understand who I am but it didn't really matter so yeah let's play again"

'so it doesn't matter...then why the hell are you so annoyingly trying to introduce your self's to me'

yukkuri sigh internally and start to create a lobby in a game so that they can play again...

but before they even play again ........

knock knock knock knock knock

there's a knock on the door again... yukkuri look at the door while smiling happily like he already know already who's knocking on the other side of the door...

while the boy looking at the door angry 💢 he was angry that again there's someone visiting yukkuri interrupting their game.

.....

just like last time the door open again with out his consent and when the door open ....
there's a girl standing with a plastic bag that has books on it..

the girl on the door has long silky black hair tied in a ponytail style, with black eyes and long eye lashes and very white skin like porcelain she looks very beautiful...

she's also wearing a uniform to be exact it's a high school uniform. and a big ribbon on his head which she use to tie her hair in ponytail...... she's very eye catching especially her slender body that look like belong to a professional model..
also she was quite gifted in his bosom despite only being on high school...

when the girl See yukkuri awake and already sitting on the bed she smile widely..
her smile so very beautiful that if there are other boys..in the room see her smile they might have fall in love and confess to her at first sight... just because of her smile...

she quickly grab a chair near the door and close the door and go to the bed which yukkuri was on.. after putting the chair near the bed and sat on it.

after sitting she look at yukkuri's face and once again she smile widely at Yukkuri who's looking at him with a face saying that 'why are you looking at me so happily'... after looking at yukkuri's face it make her even more happy and greet him..

" good morning yu-chan.. it's quite rare for you to be awake when I visit ha"

..

" hmm god morning kaede. I was feeling better today so I wake up a little bit early.........and also stop calling me yu-chan in here".

yukkuri avoided the look on kaede's face w ho's eyes were sparkling while looking at him......

" hahahahaha yu-chan is Yu-chan so i will call you that.....oh right I brought books but...."

.

Yukkuri look at kaede who's stop speaking and look quite disappointed and stop smiling.....

" hmmm what's up... is something wrong"

kaede quickly look at yukkuri's face who's worried about her....and she quietly speak

" well I didn't expect that your going to be awake at this time so today i was supposed to just bring the books here and came back next time. I didn't expect that to your awake today of All day.......but aghhh I have to go now...my classmates are waiting on me on a cafe... where about to create a project....so I don't have the time to teach you about the contents of the books sorry ........... hmmm maybe I should just skip on going there and ditch them"

"no stop that...... don't ditch them "

yukkuri sigh deeply on kaede just said.

" haaa I am always happy when you are visiting me here. but I also always tell you that you don't have to visit me every week...I know myself already that you are busy being an honored student...so it's fine if you visit me at least once a month that is fine for me"

" nooo!! I don't want to visit you just once a month .. actually visiting you every week is already very hard for me you know....if possible I'd like to be here every day"

yukkuri avoided to look on kaede's face that became red of what she just said. and quickly look on the window to avoid making eye contact on kaede's face.... but there he see the boy
the self proclaimed sage of death with a annoying smile on his face that look like he's watching something funny.....

looking at him make yukkuri irritated so he just decided to look back again to kaede.

" hmm like I said it's fine if you don't visit me frequently... you have to study hard to fullfil you're dream right....................well I might not be able to see that come true"

yukkuri said with a straight face then he look at kaede's who's holding her head down..so he tried to call her...

" kaed_"

" stop that......stop saying that........II I'll promise to you that I will study hard and work hard!!! to became the best doctor in the world so so ......and I will be the one who will cure you.....so please stop saying it like your going to die today....I will not forgive you if you just kick the bucket without me checking on you when I became a doctor..I will never forgive you understand "

yukkuri look at kaede's who's happy a little while ago... crying ....he put one of his hand hand on top of kaede's head and started to pat her.....

yukkuri suddenly remember when the first time the two of them meet they were both 6 years old at that time when his parents bring kaede in the hospital....they introduce her to yukkuri .

kaede itto 6 years old apparently she's the child of our neighbor.. they said that kaede wanted to know me also saying that she was interested to see me and became friends with me......

but at that time yukkuri almost know what might really happened.... he's parents probably beg the itto family to let kaede visit me so that I can somehow interact or make friends at the same age as him

also yukkuri can clearly see in kaede's face at that time that she hate being in there..

.
but even so kaede still continue to visit him once a month......

..

but someday kaede's visit became everyday. Yukkuri didn't know what happened but kaede became more friendlier towards him....and
she always tell yukkuri about what happened in her school and her friends....
and she also always teach yukkuri all of what she learned in the school... kaede became sort of like a teacher to yukkuri .....

but when kaede's was in high school her visit to yukkuri everyday ended....to the point that she can only managed to visit yukkuri every week.......and sometimes she cannot visit him because she's very busy...

of course yukkuri know why kaede's visit becoming less and less....
it's because she's very busy on studying to became a doctor...it make yukkuri feel very happy and sad at the same... she's glad that kaede wanted to help him but she didn't want kaede's time and future being affected by him...

" sorry, I am sorry for being insensitive....so don't cry. I promise that I will wait until you became a doctor so please stop crying already your about to go see your classmates right..so don't ruin your beautiful face on crying""

kaede quickly look at the face of yukkuri who's patting her head.....she stopped crying instantly and wipe her tears using a handkerchief in her pocket.....

"really"

"yeah so don't cry anymore"

"okay ......but you promised that right "

" yeah yeah I promise......you should properly wipe your tears so that you can go now.... don't let your classmates wait for you because of me..."

after completely wiping her tears kaede smile at yukkuri saying that she's already finished crying and get up on the chair to leave....

" hahhaha now that I already bring the books here I should probably leave now. maybe my classmates are already getting tired of waiting for me.."

kaede said in a joyous tone almost like she didn't cry just a moment ago..

" is that so...then you should hurry up now and go meet with them"

kaede smile again at yukkuri's who's telling him to leave now...and she quickly open the door and when she was about to close the door she waved his hand as a sign of good bye.....
when yukkuri see kaede waving his arm he also slowly wave his hand to also say bye bye.....

after kaede completely closed the door it make yukkuri feel a little bit lonely that kaede already leave.....he quietly sigh and just reached to his phone again.....

"pfft hmmm"

yukkuri look at the noise like some one was holding their laughter.... then he see the boy smiling like he's looking at something so funny....

"what 💢"

" hahahaha oh nothing it's just that the of you look very lovely together "

yukkuri ignore the boy who's laughing to it's heart content..... after a while the boy stop laughing he look at the which kaede just leave..

"what a waste.... she's very unlucky"

"what 💢"

...
yukkuri look at the boy feeling frustrated at he just said....and he just internally sigh to calm himself...

" so what now.... wanna continue playing again"

yukkuri said while looking at the boy who's still smiling happily even through kaede already left...

the boy shake his head at yukkuri's question

" yeah let's play but as team for now"

"hmm what you don't want to play one on one anymore.........I still haven't get my revenge"

" yeah I don't want to play One on one anymore with you today........ because after seeing the two of you being lovey dovey at each other..I lost interest on beating you anymore"

said the boy with a smile full of mockery towards to yukkuri.....

yukkuri who's looking at the boy was about to snap already when he heard him......but he still manage to calm down.......he thought that they're bantering will never end if he tried to fight back.....

and then they play again but as a team right now. instead of playing One on one with each other....... and they play together until it became night already.....

"". ha I'm done now. I don't want to play anymore.... it's your fault they we lost many times......."

yukkuri said while putting his phone on the table..... when the boy heard him the look at Yukkuri with a murderous glare.

" ha don't you dare to put the blame on me for those loses..I already told you to back me up properly when I was engaging with the enemy.. but instead you decided to play solo all of the sudden...and die quickly"

yukkuri and The boy both look at each other face with murderous intent...

but yukkuri decided to look away and sigh...

" no it's your fault.......so I'm sleepy now"

"💢you"

yukkuri slowly lie down on the bed with out paying attention to the boy.. and pull the blanket to cover his body....

the boy look annoyed but didn't disturb yukkuri who's about to sleep....

when yukkuri was getting sleepy and already about to close his eyes he heard the boy voice again.....

" hey, yukkuri...do you like that girl"

yukkuri open his eyes that was about to close and and move his head to the side Then he see the boy looking at him seriously.......it make him surprised that the boy call him by his name...... because ever since the boy pop out of nowhere and speak to him...the boy never call yukkuri by his name...so he thought that he should probably answer the boy question seriously...

' do I like her.......of course I do ......'

yukkuri thought to himself.....of course she love kaede....a girl who's giving him hope every day.that he will someday be cured.....

of course yukkuri also not dense he knows that kaede harbor romantic feeling towards him....but he always ignore kaede's advances...

and he also hiding his feelings towards kaede........he don't want to say I love you to kaede because yukkuri know himself that he is going to die sooner....so he didn't want to break kaede's heart.....

" yeah Ido .....I do love her"

......................

" the are you afraid to die"

this time yukkuri look at at the boy with bewildered expression and shock to his face....

he thought that going from the question of the boy they're going to talk about romance and stuff....

'afraid to die..'

" of course not I'm not afraid to die..... it's just...."

"it's just what"

" I am no afraid to die it's just that........ I will probably regret dying...."

"is that so........ regret huh"

after answering the boy question yukkuri's vision was getting dark and he's also feeling very cold .hes also getting the urge to close his eyes....

when he was about to close his eyes he heard the boy voice again asking him a question.....

" hmm then do you want to live for ever "

yukkuri hear the boy question but didn't have the time to think why he's asking him that .....so he just answer before he completely closed his eyes...

" of course I do"

after answering the question yukkuri's close his eyes and sleep...

" hahahahahhah.... really ..... well then good night"

after saying that the boy vanished from the room........

,.....,.................

at that night no one knows that the two of them die at the same time.....
