Ohno drove like crazy, all he cared was to get to the hospital as soon as he can. He pressed the horn blaring when the car in front of him getting slow, zigzag cut all the lines, crossed every lane that seemed to be emptier. Horns blaring from other cars who saw his way of driving but he couldn't care any less. He must get to his only son.
The car hadn't even fully stopped in front of the hospital when he jumped out. He glared at the security who tried to stop him and asked him to move his car. He threw the key to that guy while he ran into emergency room. His face was so pale that no one would dare to stop him anymore.
"Sensei, my son?" Ohno asked Masaki's teacher who stood in front of the ER room.
"Ohno san, I'm sorry, I didn't know Masaki had pneumonia, and I didn't know he didn't bring his medicine..." the tall guy tried to explain but Ohno cut him off.
"Where’s my son?? I want to see my son!" Ohno demanded and he ran to open the door but a nurse stopped him. He was about to yell at her when the door opened and a guy in steely came out. A man he knew and he suddenly felt relieved.
"Sakurai san??"
"Ohno san? Is he your son?" the doctor asked him which answered only with a nod.
"How is he?" Ohno felt how his whole body shaken due to fear of losing his only son, his reason to live.
"Let’s take you to sit first then I will tell you." Sakurai held his shoulder and dragged him to the nearest bench.
"He is unconscious right now, his lung refused to work and his oxygen supply is decrease quickly." Sakurai held his hands as the doctor kneeled in front of him.
"If this continues, the oxygen supply to his brain could stop anytime and that can cause a death." Sakurai continued carefully. Ohno tears rolled down.
"No...No..." Ohno whispered softly.
"Ohno-san, I need you to trust me, I will do anything I could with all my knowledge and power to save your son. But if this getting worse, I need to open another breathing way to supply his oxygen." Sakurai tried to explain as best as he can.
"Please... Do whatever needed, he's all I have..." Ohno sobbed and Sakurai pulled him into his embrace for a moment before he then stood up then walked up to the ER room. But a rustle voice behind him stopped his step.
"Where’s my son?" a taller guy stormed in with Ohno's ex assistant followed behind him.
Ohno tensed in instant, clearly unaware that he must faced his husband this soon.
"Your son still unconscious." Sakurai answer immediately, once again covering Ohno behind his back.
"What are you doing here?? And get away from Satoshi." Jun grabbed the doctor's collar but Sakurai did not even blink.
"I'm happen to be a surgeon and your son might need a surgery to get him another way of breathing." Sho grabbed Jun's wrist, hardly squeezed it and threw them away.
"What?? I won't allow it!" Jun still so stubborn, gripped Sho's shoulder to prevent him from walking, until Ohno stood beside the doctor.
"Let him go. Unless you really want to kill Masaki. He got my consent and as the one carrying Masaki, that should be enough." Ohno surprised all waiting room’s occupant with his calm but clear voice. He got his decision already. He won't care about Jun and his slut anymore. Most important is Masaki.
That voice was enough to startled Jun until Sho easily shrugged Jun's hand from his shoulder.
"People said you won't know what you have until you lose them. You should be more grateful for what you had Matsumoto-san. You just threw a diamond for an ordinary stone." The doctor straightened himself up and walked off to ER.

Hours passed unnoticed. There just Masaki's parents and Nino waited at the waiting room. Nino was busily brought Jun's drink and meals which the taller refused, saying he didn't want anything but Nino still forced his lover.
"Ma-chan, come one, you have to eat. Here, I'll feed you." Nino brought up the donburi up to Jun's face who sat blankly, folded his arms in front of him.
"I'm not hungry." Jun answered short. His eyes focused on Ohno who sat on the bench in front of him, hugged his own feet tight to his chest and buried his face on the crook of his arm. The dancer had been in the position since Sakurai re-enter the ER. Nino followed Jun's gaze and the shorter linked his hand to Jun's arm.
"Ma-chan, let's eat, Masaki will be alright." he said spoiled and continued to bring up the chopstick tried to feed Jun once again.
"Shut up!" Jun snapped and flicked the chopstick in front of him.
His act caused Ohno to stir and peeked up through his folded arm. He smirked seeing Nino's pale and angry face, sensing how the shorter guy was in verge of crying. The ER door opened and Ohno's head fully arisen now when Sakurai got out.
"Sakurai-san, Masaki?" Ohno stood up quickly. But since he folded his foot too long, he got a little stumble when Sakurai ran and cached him before he fell.
"Your son gotten more stable now, his breathing still in monitored, nothing we can do right now." Sakurai explained to the parents. His hand was still on Ohno's shoulder and that caused Jun to circle his arm onto Nino's shoulders, pulled the guy neared him.
"We’ll move him to other hospital then." Jun said quickly.
"That won't be necessary Matsumoto san, he is stable but moving him is not recommended." Sakurai let his hand off of Ohno and facing the other. Determination was clearly seen in his eyes.
"Ok, then change the doctor, I never want filthy guy like you took care of my son." Jun added with nasty face looked at the doctor.
"You should see in the mirror before speaking. You lost your right by the time you decide banged that slut" Ohno cut in but Sakurai's hand stopped him.
"You could ask the hospital management Matsumoto san, but I can assure you no one better than me in this hospital. Masaki is underage, written consent from both parents will be needed." Sakurai added and stressed on the 'both' word.
"I will never agree. Sho kun got all my trust." Ohno squared his shoulder facing his husband.
"Of course he is, especially when you had jumped into his bed." Jun smirked cynically.
"Y...you..." Ohno lost his word but he was shocked when Sakurai grabbed Jun's collar.
"I’ve been holding up the whole day. But another word insulting Ohno san, I don't care about anything if I could teach you one or two lesson." Sakurai hissed his words. It took Ohno a whole minute before he could collect himself and reached out for Sho's hand, stroked it until the doctor let his grip out. This time, it was Ohno's turn to lead the taller back to the bench he'd been sitting the whole day.
"It was not my fault or his if this marriage ended. You lost me when you decide to take my best friend into your bed." Ohno said coldly and walked beside Sho. Letting himself leaned on the taller fully.
The group back to their seating position, faced each other in the waiting room. Jun still circled his arms around Nino, occasionally pecked his cheek or temple, while the shorter seemed to show off his ownership over Jun.
Ohno closed his eyes, for the first time in his life he felt so relieved that he eventually found out Nino's real face. The stroke Sho's giving on his hand also adding another calmness inside him. He asked himself, when was the last time he let himself leaned on someone else?
"Would you rather rest in my office? I had a sofa there and it will be more comfortable for you." Sho whispered softly and brought up a smile on Ohno's face, Sho would always be considerate.
"No, I want to stay with Masaki." Ohno answered before another thought crossed his mind.
"What about Umika chan? You can leave me Sakurai san, I’ll be alright, and Umika will be so lonely if you stay." Ohno said ushering the other to leave.
"Don’t worry Ohno san, I called my sister, she would be glad to take her in tonight. Beside, Umika understand my job very much." Sakurai smiled assuring Umika's dance sensei that he had take care of everything on his part and Ohno was so grateful because of that.
"Wait here." Sho reluctantly freed himself from Ohno and walked off to different direction from the ER. Ohno just confused to see him but he didn't say a word. He let his eyes watched his own finger while waiting for the doctor.
Sakurai came back not so long afterwards with plastic bag in his hand. Smiled, he flopped down back beside Ohno who looked less stress now.
"I know you must haven't eat anything, so here you go. Oden and onigiri." Sakurai handed the smaller a box of onigiri while he held his oden in his other hand. Ohno just blinked seeing the triangle rice in his hand.
"Thank you, but I’m not hungry." he tried to refuse softly.
"I knew you'd say that, but remember, it won't do Masaki any good if you get sick. So please eat." Sho took one of the onigiri then opened the wrap before put it in front of Ohno's mouth so the smaller could easily ate it.
They didn't notice glares from across their sit when Jun see how the doctor literary spoiled his husband. The pair really didn’t notice anything, especially when Ohno moved an inch and took a small bite of the onigiri on Sho’s hand. A small bite but it reminded Ohno he hadn't eat anything that day, so when Sho then offered the oden he held, the dance company owner accepted it delightedly and finished all that Sho brought him.
The three adults spent their night in the waiting room. Sakurai kept ran inside the ER and back out to sat with Ohno. He kept informing Masaki's progress. Atmosphere was so tense in that waiting room but at least now Jun didn't say anything not even after he yelled at Nino since the smaller kept on bugging him to go back home after hearing that Masaki already stable.
When the sun risen Sakurai got in to the ER and not even 5 minutes later he went out again, his face was so happy just like a child on a Christmas morning.
"Ohno-san, Masaki awake. He asked to see you." Sakurai beamed to the dancer and offered his hand to him. Without any delay, he ran into the ER followed by Jun. This time the doctor let them alone, since he knew how much the patient need his parents by now.
Ohno couldn't hold his tears seeing Masaki pale face in front of him. A breathing mask still covered his nose, cables and infusion were scattered around the bed and biping sound rang as if counting the time left for him. His son seemed so skinny and he blamed himself for leaving the child alone. He should have fight to get him and promised himself he would do it, soon.
"Masaki, baby, how are you feeling?" Ohno whispered softly while stroking his hair.
"Papa, breath, hurt." Masaki hoarded voice filled in the room and Ohno held his hand while rained the kid temples with kisses.
"I’m sorry baby..." he whispered again and just realized that Jun was standing across the bed side, holding Masaki's other hand. Tears were also filled his arrogant face, showing that he indeed care for their only son. How then Ohno wished that everything was fine and that they were still happily married and Masaki still have his both loving parents.
If only he could just turn back the time.
***
It was three days later when Ohno seated in Masaki's room. These past three days, he was not leaving his son’s bed if it wasn't for urgent maters such as rest room, he even ate inside the room.
He was just finished bathing Masaki. The kid still needs respiratory oxygen which tied him on the bed. He smiled at the boy, admiring his beauty.
"There, all clean and handsome." Ohno peck on Masaki's cheek, gave the boy a little blush.
"Papa, I’m not a little a kid." he tried to argue but Ohno could clearly see the happy spoiled tone in the words.
"Um, no you're not, but you always be my kid, no matter what." Ohno kissed his other cheek again when the door opened and Sakurai gotten himself into the room.
The doctor always visited Masaki on his visit schedule and sometime stayed when he had done his visit to other patients. Masaki clearly adored the adult very much. He always welcomed Sakurai with biggest smile his oxygen mask can give.
However, biggest change happen when Nino visited him. Masaki refused to see the guy, he even tiredly shove the game Nino brought with him. He even told his daddy that he didn't want to see Nino no matter what. He only asked his parents stayed with him the whole days. Something that both parents confused with.
"How’s my favorite patient doing today?" Sakurai voice brought both the father and son attention to him.
"I’m fine sensei, when can I go home?" Masaki asked the same question as he always asked whenever he saw Sakurai.
"My answer still the same boy, not now." Sakurai held his stethoscope on Masaki chest hearing his breathing, a smile still lingered on his lips.
"But maybe not so long anymore though. You're getting stronger and stable, if you keep like this, you could go home soon. You missed your home bed ne?" Sakurai ruffled the boy's head but he also notice a glimpse of sadness in Ohno's eyes.
The doctor realized that the other must thought he will lost his son again if the boy should return home. But the kid surprised them both.
"No, I want to go with papa." the boy said softly but determined.
Tears were gathered in Ohno's eyes, and seeing that the doctor quickly jumped in.
"Masaki-kun, actually there's someone wanted to see you. Would you like to have another company?" the doctor asked quietly, sensing the mood in his patient.
"Who? If it's Nino, then no, I don't want to see him." Masaki said quickly. That boy might had figured something odd since he now clearly rejected Nino presence and it made Nino sulking. Which was the reason Jun was nowhere to be seen either.
"No, it's just a little girl, I thought you'd want a company with around your own age. What you say?" the doctor stroked Masaki's head to calmed him down. Being all worked up and upset will be harder for his condition now.
After get a nod from Masaki, Sakurai went to the door and when he returned, a pair of girlish shoes was seen behind him and Ohno immediately noticed who the kid is.
"Umika chan." Ohno exclaimed happily. It seemed to be so long since the last time he saw the girl.
"Ohno sensei..." Umika said behind her father's leg and peeking through until she spotted Masaki on the bed.
"Masaki nii, papa said that you like games, so I hope you want to play with me." Umika said shyly. She looked at the floor instead of Masaki, her hand clutched the bag behind her back.
"Uummm... Wha.. What game you brought?" Masaki blushed so red but he seemed eager to finally have a company of his own age even though younger than him.
Umika smiled brightly and slowly approach to Masaki bed, emptying the content of her bag then asked her father to lift her so she sat next to Masaki on the bed.
It didn't took long until the both of them got engulfed in their game. Laughter filled the room as the children playing.
Ohno was seeing his son and student until he felt so sleepy and let himself pulled by Sho who let him rest with his head on the doctor's lap.
