“Fu-!”
The full curse never made it past his lips due to a sudden coughing fit stopping him –blood along with it. It left a bitter taste in his mouth.
He really fucked up this time.
But then he should have known better before attacking this dragon. Sousuke had been acting without thinking as always. Even if he had managed to kill it, his wounds would not let him enjoy his loot. At least it wouldn’t bother the nearby town anymore. That was all he had thought when he remembered those kids telling him about this fire monster. They should not live in fear in this kingdom.
The paladin was all by himself. And that was his greatest mistake. With another person along with him, he would have survived that was for sure! He had deadly wound the dragon by himself, with another person he wouldn’t have a single scratch!
Yet… If he was alone, there was a reason behind it…
What an honor to be dying on the cold ground and that rain pouring down on his body! That just couldn’t be worst. Who would have thought this was how the Great Paladin Yamazaki Sousuke would have died?
Just don’t close your eyes, don’t close your eyes… The pain was so unbearable that the normally calmed and composed face was now torn by pain and rage. Just my luck to be out of potions…
The teal eyes glared at the dark clouds above him. Sousuke would normally try to fight more, to crawl if he had to so that he could survive. But he lacked of motivation. He had lost his kingdom, he had no home, no one to help him. Why would he want to fight any more for this misery life…?
“Are you all right?!”
Sousuke hadn’t even realized he had closed his eyes until he had to open them to look up at whoever disturbed the smoothing sounds of the raindrops. A panicked face greeted him. Green eyes. Angel wings. A healer.
The incoherent thoughts of the paladin stopped the moment he noticed the glowing light from this stranger’s hands. He was about to heal him, to save him. However, this wasn’t what Sousuke wanted. He wasn’t a mercenary, his job was not to kill creatures for money, for life. He was a paladin. His purpose in life was to protect his kingdom, its rulers, his home. What was the point to live in a world where he hadn’t any of those anymore?
“St—o—p… Ngh…” The groan barely made it through his bleeding mouth. Obviously the healer didn’t get it as his sides were progressively hurting way less than before, his chest as well.
“Please hang in there! I don’t want to fail in saving someone ever again.”
Those words were able to stop any more struggle or resistance from Sousuke. This man… Had he suffered the same fate? How could he still try so desperately to save him even if he explicitly told him to give up? The raindrops falling on his face were now having a salty taste, this stranger above him was crying.
Despite they had never met before, Sousuke wanted to dry those tears. A healer should never shed a tears for those they couldn’t save because they had already saved so many by their presence. In his case, he was a killer, someone who would bring peace by his strength. A paladin was not so innocent.
Once most of his injuries were cured, the black haired fighter was finally able to move as he wished. His hands cupped this healer’s face tenderly. He could feel the brush of the little wings against the back of his hands as well as the heat of his cheeks. How long had Sousuke been under this rain? His skin was freezing if not for that man’s power to fuel him in health.
“You’ve become my reason to live. I would do everything to no longer see tears in your eyes ever again.”
Makoto -as he would know later on- had changed his life that day. Giving him a new breath, a new beginning. Destiny had brought them together so that they could finally start living again and not just survive. Sousuke would make sure the healer’s nightmares would disappear as Makoto would give a reason for the paladin to be alive.
And Makoto’s nightmares were replaced by dreams with a strong paladin by his side.
And Sousuke’s reason to live was to be by this marvelous healer.
