Amethyst Fascination

Yukimura has undergone three surgeries in his life.

For the first time, the person he loved fought hard in the final of the Kanto Competition.

For the second time, the man he loved fought fiercely in the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

For the third time, the person he loved turned down all the matches for him and waited quietly by his side.

"Ryoma." Sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for the nurse to come to inform, Yukimura stared at his lover who was close to him with calm eyes.His slender fingers caressed the young man's calloused palm, feeling an unstoppable tremor, and he smiled softly: "It's okay, don't worry."

Grasping Yukimura's wrist with his backhand, the young man lowered his head and refused to make a sound, only his constantly tightening fingers betrayed his nervousness at the moment.

"Mr. Yukimura, the operation is about to start, please follow me to prepare." The silence of the room was finally broken by the nurse who pushed the door in and told Yukimura that he was about to enter an unpredictable future with a sweet voice.

With a gentle smile back, Yukimura nodded and motioned for the nurse to go first.

Getting off the bed, standing in front of the young man, gently cupping his delicate face with his fingers, he looked deeply into those reddish golden cat eyes.Lowering his head, he kissed the young man's forehead, bridge of nose, eyes, and cheek with nostalgia, and finally landed on his trembling lips.In the pious kiss, he hoarse his voice and said softly: "Ryoma, I love you. So no matter how bad the ending is today, you must promise me that you will be fine."

The words were obviously gentle, but they said farewell, which made the young man tremble violently.Putting his arms around Yukimura's neck tightly, he kissed his cool thin lips, choked up and said, "You'll be fine, absolutely nothing!"

With a slight smile, Yukimura stepped back a little distance, and gazed tenderly at the cat's eyes, which were gradually misty. "Good boy, don't cry. Give me the most beautiful smile, will you?"

Raising his hands and wiping his eyes indiscriminately, the young man raised his head and smiled sadly at Yukimura.

Taking a deep breath, Yukimura suppressed the severe throbbing pain in his heart, and stretched out his hand to hold the young man in his arms.With his fingers gently gliding over his hair, he tried to make himself smile, and whispered: "Ryoma is such a good boy."

The nurse's urging came from outside the door, Yukimura gritted his teeth, gently pushed away the young man curled up in his arms like a cat, straightened his back, turned and left.

After closing the door, Yukimura looked at Ryuya and Tokugawa leaning on the corridor, and slowed down slightly.He quietly looked at the two of them for a while, and at the moment they passed each other, he said in a hoarse voice: "If there is any danger, watch him and don't let him do stupid things."

Exchanged a silent look with Long Ya, Tokugawa raised his hand and pressed Yukimura's shoulder forcefully, and made a promise in his usual cold voice: "Don't worry."

"Thank you." Nodding and smiling, Yukimura turned to look at the end of the corridor and walked forward quickly.

Watching the slender figure disappear into the corner of the corridor, Long Ya frowned slightly, and sighed deeply: "Why is it like saying goodbye?"

Looking at Long Ya lightly, Tokugawa pursed his lips, stepped forward and pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.Standing in front of the young man who was still sitting on the hospital bed with his head bowed like a statue, he stretched out his arms to hug the distressed child, and said softly: "Xingcun is not someone who will give up, don't do this."

"I know." With eyes tightly closed, the young man obediently leaned against Tokugawa, the corners of his lips slightly raised. "Jingshi won't leave me behind."

The thumb gently wiped away the moisture from the corners of the young man's eyes, and Tokugawa's eyes hurt.In memory, this proud child has never had such a vulnerable and helpless expression.But since Yukimura's illness, he has seen too much, so much that he even wants to suffer for Yukimura.

Because he is determined to protect and love this child with his life, and he can't bear the pain of his beloved child.It's not just him, he believes that Long Ya outside the door also thinks so.

More than elder brother, less than lover.Maybe it's the way they've loved this kid all their lives.

Quietly hugging the child in his arms, Tokugawa didn't let go of his arms until the expression on his face gradually calmed down.Looking down at the pure cat's eyes, Tokugawa asked softly, "Should we wait here, or go to the door of the operating room?"

"I promised Jingshi that I will definitely accompany him this time." Standing up, the young man walked quickly towards the door with unshakable determination in his eyes.

It was their agreement to wait for him at the place closest to him.

……

Echizen Ryoma had never tasted fear in his life.But today, he tasted it.

It turns out that when a person faces fear, he really always plans for the worst.Just like at this moment, he clearly said that he would trust that person, but he couldn't help but think about what happened.In case the operation fails, in case that person fails to survive, in case...

Wrapping his arms tightly, he bit his lower lip which had already been numb from the pain, and sat against the door of the operating room.His head was on his knees, and his rapid breathing made everyone who looked at him feel pain.

"Little one, don't do this." Walking to him and sitting down, Long Ya put her arms around the violently trembling shoulders, her voice hoarse.

This was the first time Ryuya hugged the young man after entrusting him to Yukimura.He thought that ten years could heal all the pain, but when the child was trembling in his arms, he realized that the so-called healing was just scarring the wound, the wound was still a wound, and it still existed in his heart.

The handsome eyebrows were deeply knotted, and he tightened his arms and hugged the young man into his arms. He said in a hoarse voice, "It's just an operation. The little one I know shouldn't be so fragile."

"Long Ya, I'm afraid." With his eyes tightly closed, the young man's hoarse voice was visibly trembling.

This is the first time he has said the word fear so frankly in front of people other than Yukimura.He was really scared, so scared that he couldn't maintain his usual pride and stubbornness, so scared that tears still came out of his eyes when he closed his eyes tightly.

"Don't be afraid, little one." The man's chin rested lightly on the young man's forehead, and his palms were stroked hard on his thin back. Long Ya's voice was full of pain and pity, and said softly: "No matter what, we will be with you .”

"I'm an idiot, Long Ya." Burying his face on Long Ya's neck, the young man choked up slightly, and said in a low voice, "Jingshi has always been taking care of me, but I didn't even know he was sick. If I had known ..."

"So what if you knew it earlier? Do you think you can stop this operation if you know it earlier?" Interrupting the young man coldly, Tokugawa frowned and looked at the delicate face full of fragility, and said slightly angrily: "The Echizen Ryoma I know would not be so fragile, and the Yukimura Seiichi I know would not fall in love with such a fragile Echizen Ryoma! Put away your tears, Yukimura is not dead yet!"

"Kazuya, that's enough!" The skin on the side of his neck was already wet with tears, burning Longya's heart.Even if he understood that Tokugawa was for the child's good, he couldn't keep silent.

This child was held in their hands and loved, and he was reluctant to part with it.

Coldly meeting Longya's tightly wrinkled eyebrows, the corners of Tokugawa's lips curled into a smileless arc. "Enough? It's time for him to learn to be independent. Do you want him to hide under Yukimura's protection for the rest of his life?"

"Why do you think that Ryoma has always been protected by Yukimura? No one is more sad than Ryoma when Yukimura has an accident. Could it be that you can't let him cry and vent?" Feeling the uncontrollable trembling of the child in his arms, Longya was furious .Pursing his lips and staring at Tokugawa, he said word by word: "He is my younger brother, and I know him better than you."

Smiling back from anger, Tokugawa slowly bent down, his deep purple eyes were covered with ice, and he lowered his voice: "Don't forget, Echizen Ryuya and Ryoma are also my younger brothers."

"You two, that's enough." Struggling to get out of Long Ya's embrace, the young man lowered his head and said sullenly, "Can you stop flirting in front of me?"

"Little one?" Looking at the slightly raised lips of the young man in astonishment, Long Ya laughed dryly, "Who do you think is flirting with whom?"

Raising his head, his golden eyes wandered over the two people who looked a little uncomfortable with a half-smile, and the young man snorted, "Don't think that Jingshi and I are fools."

Turning his face to avoid the young man's gaze, Tokugawa's face was slightly hot, and he frowned slightly and said: "Don't talk nonsense, Ryoma."

"Really?" Frowning slightly, the young man turned his head to look at Long Ya, pointed to his own face, and said, "Come on, give me a kiss."

Although he didn't understand the young man's intentions, Long Ya was naturally willing to face such a request.Turning his head to the side and gently kissing the delicate cheek, he smiled lightly: "It's so rare that the little one actually asks me to kiss."

"Che, you are still far behind." Glaring at Long Ya slightly annoyed, the young man got up and walked to Tokugawa's side, put his arms around his waist, frowned and said with a smile: "Here, you can kiss me too."

With a helpless smile in his eyes, he hugged the young man's flexible and slender waist, Tokugawa lowered his head and planted a loving kiss on his forehead, and sighed softly: "Are you feeling better?"

"I'm better, it's the two of you who are not good." Leaning on Tokugawa's shoulder, the young man looked back proudly at Long Ya's slightly frowned eyebrows, and laughed softly: "Think about when you kissed me just now, Some people are a little upset."

Shaking his head in frustration, Long Ya stood up, put his arms around Tokugawa and the young man, and smiled lazily: "You two are the most helpless guys in my life."

"You don't have to worry about me." After taking a few steps back, the young man raised a faint smile on his lips, turned his head to look out the window, and frowned slightly. "Jingshi must have told you that if he has something to ask you to take good care of me. But I can't live without Jingshi, so I will be afraid."

Looking back at Tokugawa and Longya, the golden cat eyes were full of unshakable determination: "If Jingichi is really gone, I will definitely follow him, no one can stop him."

Taking a step forward, Tokugawa hugged the young man tightly, his deep purple eyes were filled with pain, and said in a deep voice, "Xingmura will be fine."

"Well, I wanted to say that too, but you preempted me." Smiling lightly, looking up at the two pairs of loving eyes, he said firmly: "Jingshi will be fine, he doesn't want to part with me."

The three looked at each other and smiled, and at this moment, the light at the door of the operating room suddenly went out.
