Year 11- November
18 years of loving you, and the one year it mattered.Tao's eyes fluttered open for the first time in weeks, greeted by the white sterile celling
All he remembered was walking across the road when a car smashed into him
He also remembered Suho's face that morning
Tear stained, tired, heart broken
Why is it that Suho can't be happy?
Tao slowly turned his head to the side to find Kris sleeping, his hand entwined with Tao's own
He seemed to be sleep talking
Tao leaned in closer trying to hear the soft murmuring escaping from Kris' lips
Darn it, he was speaking English
"Kris?" Tao croaked out, his voice rusty from under use
Kris jolted awake hearing his name being called
That voice is so familiar
So comforting
But it's not him
They don't even know when he's going to wake up
"Yeah? Who is it?" Kris answered keeping his eyes shut
That voice sounded exactly like Tao's he didn't want to be disappointed
"It's Tao?"
The voice was a hoarse whisper but it was enough to make Kris' eyes shot open
"Tao!" Kris cried with happiness hugging the dark haired male like there was no tomorrow "Are you okay? Do you feel pain? Do you remember me?"
How can I forget the man I love?
Tao smiled "Ge it's okay I remember everything and yes it hurts" Tao pouted
"Im just glad you're awake" Kris smiled his eyes showing life for the first time since the incident
Tao gently leaned over and touched the hollows in Kris' eyes "Have you been sleeping properly? What about eating? You look so frail!"
"Tao you've been in a coma and you're worried about my health?" Kris asked astonished
"Well, I know how you can't cook..."
"Shush, Chanyeol helped me"
"Chanyeol can't cook"
"Yeah... He started bringing Baekhyun because of that..." Kris breathed he couldn't believe he was talking to him again that he was replying to him
That he still had the chance to say I love you
And he was going to say it right now before fate ripped them apart again
Kris cleared his throat "Tao, there's something I wanna say to you, I'm going to call the nurse in a second to tell them you're awake but I want to tell you something first, something that means a lot to me"
Tao smiled encouragingly grasping Kris' hand tighter
What if Kris had gotten a girlfriend? Or worse got together with Chanyeol? Will he also have the same fate as Suho?
Tao's heart hurt just thinking about it
Kris cleared his throat "Huang Zitao, I've known you along time" He smiled trying to gather his courage up "And we've been through a lot together, good memories and bad memories"
Tao just nodded waiting for Kris to continue
"These past few weeks have been hell, I wasn't even sure if I'd see you awake ever again or if you did wake up you'd have amnesia or something, I was so worried I was going to lose you, because without you I'm nothing, you're my weakness, I wanted to hide away with misery, you not being with me, you not talking, moving, I was so scared, but you're here, you're alive and you're going too live, I am so grateful, I am in gods debt, because now I can go on making memories with you, because he gave me the chance to" Kris paused for a while making Tao nervous, could it be? The moment he'd been dreaming of his entire life?
"He gave me time, he gave me the chance to tell you how much I love you, he brought you back to me, I can never repay anyone for the miracle they have given me"
Kris didn't even wait for an answer before running out of the room to call for a nurse
They say love can save a life
He did it, Wu Yi Fan had done it, the man Tao had loved all his life had confessed to him, two miracles in one day
Despite being bed ridden
Tao couldn't of been happier
Kris walked back in talking to a nurse seriously as they walked towards Tao's bed
"I love you too" Tao blurted out as Kris approached the bed
Kris' face lit up like a million light bulbs
He loves me back
Am I dreaming?
"You realize now you've said that, you're never going to get rid of me?" Kris grinned before turning serious "Tao, baby, they're wanting to run some tests on you so they have to put you under anesthetic again"
Tao's eyes widened with fear "Ge, what happens if I don't wake up?"
"You will wake up, no argument about that"
Tao nodded slowly still scared he grabbed onto Kris' hand making the older's knuckles turn white
Even when injured Tao was still ing strong
"P-promise me you'll be here when I wake up?"
"I'm not leaving"
Tao was so busy looking at Kris that he didn't feel the needle enter his skin he felt himself go drowsy the last thing he heard was
I love you and I'll see you when you wake
He felt warm lips on his forehead before he gave in to the darkness
But this time he knew he would wake up
And Kris was no longer scared he sat down in the chair next to Tao and dailed Chanyeol's number
"Yeol, I have the most amazing news"
