Author's note: I wrote this because many people requested... It's from the prequel: As the bell rings . But I think that you can even read this without knowing the story... :P Comments pls.
Jingle bells… Jingle bells… Jingle all the way…
Sitting down on the bench, Jin glances at his watch. It’s already over midnight, which means he’s left Kame standing in front of his house for like… an hour already. This Christmas night is freezing, and Jin just can’t help but worrying about Kame.
“Saa~”
Jin sighs. There is no use thinking at all, cuz Jin has already decided for himself that it’s totally and completely over between him and Kame. Nothing, not friendship, not even love.
Glancing at his watch again, Jin stands up. What is he thinking? Was there the word ‘love’ from the very beginning?
o.O”--------------------
“Moshi moshi?”
Ueda picks up his cell. Who the heck would dare to disturb Ueda’s slumber on this very cold night, when he’s feeling like a bear during his winter sleep?
“You must be Tatsuya-san?”
A stiff unfamiliar voice echoes from the other side.
“Uh yes… Is there anything that you need?”
“You’re from KAT-TUN right? One of your bandmate, Kamenashi Kazuya, collapsed a few hours ago. We’ve just found him, and found out about… his condition. We’ve been trying to get in touch with his families and friends, but we couldn’t. So can you come to the hospital now?”
Ueda’s eyes flash… Condition.
Grabbing his coat, Ueda knows the exact thing to do.
*___*-----------------------------
Ueda is pacing the floor, eyes never left the white room where Kame’s small figure is lying.
He looks so pale.
He turns Kame’s cell on again. Ugh… Ueda can’t believe that he was so much in a rush to get here that he forgot to bring his own cell phone. And now Kame’s one will have to be used.
Clicking the buttons, once again, Ueda knows the exact person to call.
___(>_<)___
Ring… Ring…
Jin almost drops the Coke he’s drinking. A call came just a few minutes ago from a very strange number, of which Jin decided that he cannot let strangers who dialed the wrong number ruin his already ruined Christmas, he hang up. And now this phone.
Peering at the phone, Jin realizes who the call is from.
Kamenashi.
Jin sighs. What should I do?
Swallowing what seems to be his inner self yelling him to pick up the phone, he turns off his cell. Gomen Kame, Gomen…
=___=+++++++++++++++++++++++
Ueda almost slams the phone on the wall. No one AT ALL is picking up, well except Junno (but Ueda can’t imagine how much help that guy can be).
Why isn’t Jin picking up?
Ueda drops off on the hospital bench, hands shaking. Jin needs to know, everyone needs to know… about Kame’s condition.
The door to the waiting room opens. Ueda looks at the door anticipatingly, hoping that somehow Jin would want to pay a visit to the hospital. But no, it’s just Junno.
)----(____________________________)(
The morning birds are chirping, Jin opens his eyes, observing his surrounding.
Huh?
Why is he on the exact bench as last night? He must be too tired and dropped dead here. Jin picks up his cell, and almost fells over.
47 missed calls?
Who would call him so many times?
He checked the list… At first it was Kame calling, then Junno’s number.
“Moshi moshi?”
The voice says over the phone.
“Junno? What did you call me for?”
“Jin… hey listen…”
But Jin couldn’t hear Junno say anything, a voice replaces him.
“Jin, you need to come to the hospital quick.”
“Ueda? For what?”
“Kame is…. Really sick… I need to tell you something.”
But Jin couldn’t even hear the last sentence Ueda said, he’s running for his life towards the hospital.
What happen to the ‘not caring for Kame’?
MWMWMWM------------------------
Finally, Jin reaches to hospital. Panting, he rushed at Ueda.
“Kame? KAME! How is he?”
“Calm down Jin! He’s in there!”
Ueda pointed in the white room where Kame is lying unconsciously.
“I need to talk to him.”
“You should! But there’s something you need to know first!”
“I NEED TO KNOW WHAT?”
Jin yells, running out of patience, which earns him a big punch from Ueda.
Wiping the corner of his lips, Jin glares at Ueda.
“Stop yelling Jin! Calmness, you’re gonna need it a lot when I tell you about Kame.”
Ueda looks pissed, but he states it calmly.
Jin stands up, saying nothing but leaning on the wall, eyes fixed on the ceiling.
“Kame is…”
_O_O_+++++++++++++++++++
“What do mean cancer?”
Jin asks in a calm mode, but his voice sounds angry and worried, even scared.
“I mean what I said… cancer. It’s a type of disease.”
Jin grabbed Ueda’s collar aggressively, glaring right into the other boy’s eyes. Junno tries to stop him, but to no avail.
“Is it…?”
“It’s not incurable.”
Jin sighs in relief.
“They’re having a surgery on him tomorrow.”
Ueda straightens his clothes as Jin releases him.
“But… it can be quite dangerous.”
Jin glares at Ueda, trying to express something, but ends up asking:
“When? When did he get this… cancer?”
“Last year. When you were away… He told no one except me. Kame didn’t want anyone to worry, especially you. So I kept his secret.”
Jin hits himself hard.
“He didn’t want to tell me?”
“Jin… Kame’s been in a lot of pain. He endures the pain of the sickness, he didn’t want to take on any surgeries they offer.”
“Why? He could have been saved…”
Jin whispers, his voice sounds stiff and angry.
“The surgery… Kame… has little chance of surviving.”
Jin stands up straight, facing Ueda.
“How much chance?”
“Quite little… So Kame didn’t want to risk his life before you came back to Japan. And after Yorokobi no Uta, I persuaded him to do the surgery, but he said he still wanted to have a little more time with you. Just a little more.”
Jin eyes on Kame in the white room, asking:
“Can I come in?”
“Okay… but remember Jin. We all want Kame to grab that very little chance of life. And Kame can’t do it without you, Jin…”
Jin shakes Ueda off.
“Kame is strong… he…”
“He can’t Jin! You know what I mean Jin… He can’t do it without you.”
Jin’s gazing at Kame’s innocent sleeping face. It’s been quite a long time since he’s been able to sit here, next to Kame and looks at the younger boy peacefully. But under the cover of peace, danger is stirring.
Kame’s hand moves a bit, and his eyes flutter open. Jin stands up immediately, shaking Kame’s shoulders.
“Kame! Kame!”
Jin calls out as Kame peers in the light, trying to make out the tall figure in front of him.
“Jin?”
“I’m glad you’re awake.”
Jin sits down on the bed next to Kame. Kame’s hand clings on Jin’s, trying hard to sit up.
“Just keep lying Kame…”
Jin says, comforting the younger boy, but Kame has already been able to prop himself on the wall.
“So… Ueda told me…”
“He did, huh? That Ueda…”
Kame whispers in his breath, trying hard to speak without showing that it really hurts.
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Because I thought…”
Kame suddenly takes a great interest in his fingernails.
“Because I thought you didn’t consider me as a friend anymore.”
Jin stays silent. Kame was right. That really was what he thought before, but now, sitting here with Kame like this, all those thoughts are wiped off Jin’s mind. All he can think of is… Kame.
“How did it come to this?”
Jin questions, gazes right into Kame’s two beautiful orbs.
Kame suddenly reaches out faintly, lifting Jin’s hand, pulling it to touch his chest.
“Can you feel the heart beating? I’m still here Jin.”
Jin sits closer to Kame, not caring that Kame avoids answering his inquiry.
“I can feel it Kame. I’ll be here waiting, you just take some time off. I’ll always be here.”
Jin puts his other hand on Kame’s shoulder, feeling Kame’s head and the boy’s messy hair on his skin.
A smile curves on Kame’s lips.
How did it come to this?
Kame doesn’t care as long as Jin’s here.
Kame closes his eyes.
I’ll take a nap, Jin.
~xLOVEx~
The sound of the bells outside is ringing. It’s Christmas… that fateful Christmas days.
The sound of people rushing in, Ueda gasping and punching the wall. Doctors are pulling Jin off Kame.
No!
Jin won’t let go…
It’s still beating… it is still…
There are not more pulses or heartbeats.
All the doctors are taking Kame into the emergency room, Jin falls on the floor.
“Can you feel the heart beating? I’m still here Jin.”
A slight smile turns on Jin’s face.
“He’ll return. Kame’s just taking a nap!”
Jin closes his eyes to let a single tear fall.
He’ll come back.
_AKAME_
Jin hears something, there’s a voice calling to him. He opens his eyes slowly.
A familiar figure, a familiar voice… How could he not recognize?
Kame…
“Thank you for waiting Jin.”
And outside, the bells are still ringing. Forever.
