Work Text:
Feng Xin and Mu Qing are lovers. They have been with each other since senior year of highschool, but the last past months has been rough for them. They always fight, and never listen to each other. They have started living separately, Mu Qing lives in a small apartment not far from the hospital which his grandmother used to stay in but now she has passed away, while Feng Xin stayed at their house.
Mu Qing has recently gotten due to his family sickness, that has taken many lives of his family members including his grandmother. Mu Qing gets sicker by the day, and today is no exception.
“Shit why isn’t Mu Qing picking up?”
Feng Xin had been trying to call Mu Qing for the past 5 minutes. Feng Xin wanted to check up on him, since last time they talked Mu Qing didn’t sound ok.
“Dammit why isn’t he picking up?!”
Feng Xin was getting worried, normally Mu Qing either picked up by the third call or he would hang up the calls immediately. Feng Xin mind was going wild, he was thinking about the worst possible situation.
“He really is going to make me go to his apartment”
Feng Xin arrived at Mu Qing apartment, he had a spare key to the place just incase for moments like these. Feng Xin opened the apartment door.
“Hey Mu Qing? Are you in here? Are you ok?”
Feng Xin continue to walk into the kitchen to where he found Mu Qing sitting down not moving.
“MU QING!”
Feng Xin rushed by his side to check in pusle. He was still breathing. Feng Xin checked the surroundings but there was nothing to explain what had happened. Feng Xin called the emergency number to escort Mu Qing to the hospital.
Feng Xin stayed by Mu Qing’s side, the doctors suggested Mu Qing may have fainted due to the sickness that is passed through his family. That made Feng Xin worry a lot more, Mu Qing had mentioned it once but he said he was in the clear of not getting it. Feng Xin could see Mu Qing’s skin was paler, his hair was thinner and he skinnier than normal.
The bed made movement, Feng Xin looked at Mu Qing’s face, he was waking up.
“mmmm...huh?”
“Mu..Qing?”
Feng Xin placed his hand over Mu Qing’s as he stood up.
“Feng..Xin...? Where am I?”
“Your in the hospital, everything going to be ok”
Mu Qing sat up, his eyes widen as he heard what Feng Xin said.
“How?!”
“I found you in your apartment not moving, so I did would any person would and take you to the hospital. The doctors told me this is due to your family sickness? Why didn’t you tell me?!”
“Why would I tell YOU! What’s the point! We aren’t even together...”
“WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! NO MATTER IF WE ARE TOGETHER OR NOT I STILL WANT TO KNOW THAT YOUR OK!”
“WOULD YOU JUST LEAVE! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU”
“Not even a thank you...wow..”
Feng Xin grabbed his things and left.
Mu Qing was left in the room, he turned to the window and started crying.
It had been 2 weeks since Feng Xin took Mu Qing to the hospital and during those 2 weeks Feng Xin just kept thinking about Mu Qing, he wanted to visit him but it was better not too until things get better. Though Feng Xin really couldn’t wait and decided to visit him after work. Feng Xin brought flowers before visiting, he wanted to give something special to Mu Qing to try and fix their mess. When Feng Xin was standing outside Mu Qing’s room he could hear voices of panic. A nurse came out of the room and told Feng Xin to go back to the waiting room.
“What's going on? Did something happen to him?”
“Sir please go back to the waiting room”
“WHAT'S WRONG WITH HIM?!”
A doctor walked out of the room.
“Dead at 4:45pm, I’m sorry”
The doctor and all the other staff moved out of the way for Feng Xin to enter the room.
Feng Xin didn’t know how to react, he didn’t understand. Feng Xin stood in front of Mu Qing’s bed, you could tell was extremely unwell, he looked worse than last time and that was only 2 weeks ago.
“Dead..? Mu Qing is...dead?”
“ We will be back in 10 minutes to collect the body”
The staff and doctor closed the door, and left Feng Xin by himself.
Feng Xin just stared at Mu Qing, he wandered where they went wrong, where did he go wrong? This was unexpected, Feng Xin wished to himself he had gone to see Mu Qing earlier, then maybe they could both have a sweet farewell, but their last moments together was an argument. Feng Xin went to touch Mu Qing’s hand. It was getting cold. Feng Xin bursted out with tears, he crumpled to the fall while still holding Mu Qing hand.
“Mu Qing...where are you? Come back...please...I ...love you...”
Feng Xin stood in front of Mu Qing’s grave, he visited his grave everyday bring flowers and food each time. Feng Xin felt lifeless and empty, he didn’t know what to do with himself.
“I hope you enjoy the food...I brought your favourite dishes”
He kneeled down and touched the tombstone.
“I’m sorry...for everything, I wish I was a better bf, person to you, you were my everything and I didn’t take care of you the way you needed it, I’m sorry...”
Feng Xin stood up and bowed his head to the grave. Just as Feng Xin was about to walk off he stopped and turned back to the grave and whispered something.
“maybe in another life, we will meet again”
