Weiss Kreuz Fan Fiction ❯ Hopeless Dreams ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

Ken didn't move. He looked down at the sobbing straw coloured haired. His face was pressed tightly against his chest, muttering his name. Telling him he was sorry and how much he missed him.

Ken gently grasped Omi's shoulders and pushed him back. Teary blue eyes looked at him, confused. They looked hauntingly familiar.

"I think you might have me confused with somebody else." Ken started slowly. "I don't know you."

A lump formed in Omi's throat. Tears spilled down his cheeks. "Ken…Ken, it's me." Omi chocked. "I know we only met twice but it's me, Omi."

BACK FLASH

"Hey Ken!" A voice shouted from across the field. Ken saw a redhead waving at him, grinning. "Take a break! There's someone I want you to meet!"

"Be there in a minute!" Ken shouted back.

The brunette grabbed his soccer ball from the net and jogged back to where his stuff was laying. He crouched down and opened his gym bag and grabbed a towel. He shoved his soccer ball into the bag and towelled his hair that was drenched in sweat and water. He rubbed the back of his neck and shoved the towel into his bag.

Ken sprinted across the field where the red head and a dark blond hair boy was sitting beside him on the bench.

"Hey, what's up?" Ken greeted the redhead.

The red head gave Ken a grin. "Nothing much." he turned towards the boy. "Ken I'd like you to meet Omi. Omi this is Ken my best bud."

Omi stood up and held out his hand. "Nice to meet you." he smiled.

Ken was deeply entranced by Omi's blue eyes. They reminded him of the ocean depths. He gripped Omi's hand in a firm, but friendly handshake. "Nice to meet you too Omi."

END OF BACK FLASH

Oh god Omi! Ken's mind yelled in shock. Yes I remember now!

The teen in front of him was crying. Ken felt bad. But Omi didn't look like all those years ago. He looked too thin and worn. Like life had just decided to leave him. And his eyes, they seemed empty, not like the one's he saw that day he met him.

Ken wrapped his arms around the sobbing boy. "Omi, I'm so sorry." he apologized. "You just looked so different since the last time I saw you."

Omi tired to laugh. "Well it had been literally years since we saw each other."

"Yeah it has been." Ken loosened his embrace a little. "Well guessing why you're here, you must have heard then?" he asked.

Omi nodded sadly. "Father Jei found me and told me." He glanced up at Ken. "How's he doing?"

Ken sighed. "I really don't know. Each doctor here has a different opinion and it's really starting to piss me off."

"Can I see him?" Omi asked timidly.

Ken nodded. "Of course you can." He draped his arm across Omi's shoulders. "Come on."

The walked down the corridor. They took a left at the end of the hallway and a right in the middle. They stopped in front of room #376.

"You want me to come in with you?" Ken asked. His brown eyes shining with worry.

Omi shook his head.

"I'll be okay." He gave Ken a smile to reassure him.

"Alright. I'll be outside if you need me."

Omi nodded and opened the door, quietly he walked in and shut the door. The room was while like everything else but had a pale pink flower pattern on it, giving it an almost homey look. However the beeping of machines and the hiss of an oxygen tank crumbled that.

Omi walked slowly towards the bed. His vision was slightly hazy, like he was walking in a dream. He approached the bed and looked down. His lover's red hair was tousled almost like an eerie red halo. His face was pale due to the lack of sunlight and a little thin.

Tears welled up in Omi's eyes as he looked down at his lover. It was like a dream. Omi grasped on of the red head's hand and pressed it to his cheek. "Schuldig…" he whispered as tears fells.

He looked at Schuldig, his vision becoming hazier. "I'm here." Omi sighed as his vision became black and crumpled onto the floor.
