Wildest Dreams
‘He said, "Let's get out of this town. Drive out of the city, away from the crowds'
“Ready to go?” Shiro asked as he closed the back of the vehicle.
“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?” Adam kept his arms crossed over his chest. A friendly smile on his face.
Shiro grinned at his boyfriend, taking a couple of steps toward him. “That is classified.”
“You want me to spend our spring break in an unknown location? Are you trying to murder me?” Adam played back, his eyebrows raising in playful suspicion.
Shiro rolled his eyes, “I have told everyone that we are spending break together. Why would I kill my boyfriend of six months during this trip? I would be the number one suspect.”
Adam clicked his tongue, “touché.”
Shiro released a deep laugh. “Okay get in the car we need to go.”
“Okay okay, don’t rush me.” Adam opened the car door. Quickly sliding in.
‘Nothing lasts forever’
---
‘He's so tall and handsome as hell’
Fingers snapped in front of his face. “Adam! Stop ogling your boyfriend. We have work to do.”
He waved his hand to his friend. His eyes not leaving Shiro once. “Skin-tight shirts should be criminalized at the Garrison.”
Shiro was wiping his forehead with a rag. His black shirt clinging to his skin with sweat. Perfect eye candy for Adam.
Shiro met his eyes, sending him a small wave. Adam waved back, his friend groaning as they dragged him out of the training deck. “I know he’s hot but we still have work to do.”
Adam let his collogue drag him. He was hot. How did he manage to score Takashi Shirogane?
---
‘I can see the end as it begins’
“It’s terminal.”
Adam closed his eyes, trying to stop any tears from falling. He wasn’t the one that needed to break down right now. He needed to be there for Shiro.
He took a shaky breath. His heart shattered into a million pieces as he forced the next question out. “How long?”
Shiro sighed. His body curled into himself as he squeezed his hands closed. “Two to five years.”
Anger formed in Adam’s gut. Two to five years is nothing when you want forever with someone. “This is bullshit!” He found himself standing, the room blurring some due to unfallen tears. “Fucking bullshit!”
Shiro looked up at him, his face holding an expression of heartbreak and exhaustion. “Adam.” Even his voice was tired.
Adam found himself pacing. Words spilled from his lips. “Our lives just started! We just graduated what do you mean two to five years?! There's nothing they can do to help? No treatment or medicine?”
“The only medicine they have will simply prolong it. It won’t cure it.”
Adam’s knees hit the floor, sobs threatening to consume him. “This isn’t fair.” His voice broke on the words.
Shiro slowly moved toward him, wrapping his arms around his boyfriend. “I know. I know it’s not.”
“You can’t leave Shiro. We still have so much to do.”
“I know,” his voice rumbled in his chest, pulling Adam even closer. “I’ll be here as long as I can.”
“Promise?”
“Promise.”

‘I said, "No one has to know what we do.” His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room. And his voice is a familiar sound.’
Adam stared up at the ceiling, the only sound filling the room was Shiro’s breathing. His fingers trace random shapes on his exposed skin. Trying to memorize every aspect of him. The feel of his skin, the curve of his body. Everything that made up Takashi.
It had been half a year since his diagnosis. Since he was told that he wouldn’t live to thirty. He would be lucky to make twenty-eight.
Adam did his best to remain happy. To move through his everyday life pretending that the love of his life wasn’t on borrowed time. Pretending he wasn’t pissed at whatever sick being or universal thing did this to Shiro.
He knew Shiro saw right through him. But he remained so calm. So collected. He was the one sick and yet he seemed at peace. Adam was envious of his calmness. How he never seem to worry about how many days he had left. That he was content as long as he was with Adam.
Shiro stirred some, lifting his head up. Blinking sleepily at his lover.
Adam smiled at him, running his hand through his hair. “Morning.”
Shiro leaned into his touch. “Morning.”
Adam stared at him a bit longer. His heart filled with a mix of love, admiration, and comfort. Feelings Shiro always brought him. “Will you marry me?”
Shiro's eyes widened, “what?”
Adam repeated himself, his fingers gently playing with the end of his hair.
“Yes,” Shiro grinned, pressing his lips to Adams.
‘Nothing lasts forever.’
---
‘Someday when you leave me I bet these memories follow you around.’
“I’m going. Everyone cleared me. The doctors said I can!” Shiro took a deep breath, trying to keep his anger at bay.
“You could die out there!” Adam raised his voice, not caring who could hear them through the walls.
“I’m going to die here! At least let me do something with the time I have left.”
A tense silence filled the room. Both of their chests rose and fell quickly. Fight after fight had occurred in the last couple of months. Since Shiro put in his application for the Kerberos mission.
But they had never felt like this. Never felt like it was teetering on the edge. The fragile class they surrounded themselves in finally cracked.
“It’s the mission or me. You can’t have both.”
Shiro’s eyes filled with heartbreak, “Adam. You can’t make me choose.” He pleaded. His voice cracked as tears threaten to consume him.
Adam looked at him with sternness, his mind was made up. No matter how much Shiro begged, he wouldn’t change his position. “Pick one.”
Shiro closed his eyes, sucking in a tight breath as a couple of tears slipped down his face. “Please.”
Adam moved, grabbing his bag as he stepped closer to Shiro. A gentle hand cupping his face. “I’ll never forget about you Takashi.”
A small piece of metal was pressed into his hand. Familiar lips pressed against his cheek. Footsteps moved through the room, a door opened, and then silence.
Shiro opened his eyes, looking down at his palm. A ring glared back at him. He allowed his body to crumple, releasing screams he had held in for so long. Allowing himself to break.
---
‘Say you'll see me again even if it's just pretend.’
“Good work Champion,” a Galran threw him into a cell. Closing the door and waking away.
Shiro rested his head against the wall, hugging his knees into his chest. He closed his eyes, focusing on his breathing. Letting his mind wander.
He smiled to himself as an image of Adam filled his mind. The way he smiled at him, how he said his name. The way his face scrunched up when he was stuck on a problem. The spice of his cologne, how he faintly snored when he slept but never admitted it even when Shiro recorded it.
He moved his hand against his chest, gripping the two rings that hung on a string. He was going to get home and see Adam again. He was going to make things right.

Sorry :/
Not really this was spinning in my mind for daysssss
This is also a low-key prequel for my upcoming Adashi fic. That fic will go into more depth with flashbacks and things like that but this does set the tone and stage for how things will start.
This was based on Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift, I don’t own any aspect of the song, all credit goes to their proper creators.
Thank you for reading <33333
