Drowning - Feliciano x Reader

Gone. Just like that.

It was the middle of the day and you were hanging out with on of your best friends, Feliciano Vargas. He was such a happy guy, always greeting you with a smile and a hug, and sometimes brought you small little presents. You had developed some form of a “crush” on him so to say, and it took a while for you to notice it yourself. However, to avoid awkwardness and/or rejection, you never told him of it.

You two were sitting on a bench in a local park, him talking animatedly to you about something that happened between him and his two friends. And then, suddenly, he started just… choking. Like, on air. He just starting hacking, doubling over and kept coughing. You patted his back, trying to calm him down. But it didn’t stop.

Against better judgement, you made him stand up. He was still choking… it sounded so horrible, like he was going to choke up every piece of lung and heart from his mouth. You made him get into the car and get to your house, away from all the people who had been giving you strange looks earlier…

You pulled up quickly into your driveway, but had to practically carry Feliciano inside, he was growing so weak. You made him lay down on the couch while you went to get him a glass of water.

He coughed some more, and he managed to croak out, “I… love… you… (f/n)…“

Too bad you never heard him.

You came back, but he had already passed out. You panicked and checked any vital signs of life - his chest for any sort of breathing, his neck and wrist for a pulse, but all was lifeless. He wasn’t cold yet, so you held his warm hand in yours until you felt his temperature die out.

And then, you wept.

And screamed and cried and blamed yourself for not being able to help out with anything. But you knew, in the back of your mind, that nothing could ever be reversed.

All that was left to do was give him a proper burial…

You were watching TV, when you saw a headliner that Italy was sinking into the ocean, and almost the entire country was gone due to oceanic risings and global warming. And you wanted to blame the stupid country for causing Feliciano to die. You wanted to blame global warming. You wanted to blame a body of water that basically did all that nature told it to.

But that would just be silly, right?
