Summary: A relationship was torn apart because of selfish needs, A scar so deep started to cover up when new people filled the emptiness of the broken hearted...But, what would happen when the old flames lit back when two hearts meet again?
It was quiet when Sho entered the room. Only the sound of the beeping of the heart monitor was heard. He looked at the heart monitor. Normal...His eyes move to the body on the bed assisted with some kind of tube. He sat on the chair next to the bed, holding the hand of the unconcious person in front of him. His face was very serene despite the pale complexion with few cuts here and there. The bandage on his head and the casted hand make his throat choked from the preseverence from crying.
The once cheerful Aiba, the one who moves non-stop who is filled with laughter, now lying unconscious on the bed. Sho tightened his grip, but pulled his hand away a moment later. He wouldn't want him to come close to him if he were awake. He would probably hate him right now. Not just emotionally, he also hurt him physically. He cup his hand and sob.
Another glance at Aiba and he's already at the verge.
"Aiba-chan...I'm sorry." no response from Aiba. Just his breath could be heard. Sho sobbed again, this time his head on Aiba's unconscious body.
"It's not your fault, you know." he quickly wiped his tears and look up. A familiar figure was leaning on the door with his hand crossed looking straight at him, "Don't blame yourself..."
"W...what are you doing here?" Sho pulled himself up from the chair.
"No...no, make yourself comfortable." Mimura said as he put a bouquet of flower on the table next to the window, "Rather than
what I'm doing here, what are YOU doing here when you should be resting?"
Sho stayed silent. His eyes wouldn't leave Aiba. He looked at a sign...any sign that could means Aiba had regained his consciousness. He stroke his bandaged head. Mimura sat next to Sho, "Don't worry. This guy's a strong lad. He survived the 50% chance of survival, and he's going to wake up soon."
Sho faked a laugh, "He wouldn't want me to see me here. I don't think it is ok for me to keep on seeing him. I've caused him
enough pain." he let his head fall back as he gave a deep sigh, "You should be here next to him when he woke up...What he need is you, not me. I've done enough."
This time it was Mimura who was laughing, "I don't think I wanna be the one here when he woke up. I believe it's you who he hope to see..."
"No..." Sho stood up, trying to make his way out, "he deserved to fall for someone better... Don't worry. I won't disturb you guys. I won't make an appearance in front of him again. Please...please let him forget me..."
"Someone better?" Sho halted his step at the sight of Nino in front of him, "usually I'd say this to Aiba, but...Are you stupid? For that stupid guy, you're the best...no one's better. He'd jumped in front of a car for you..."That sentence clenched Sho's heart tighter...making him feel more disgusted with himself. He ignored Nino and left the room. As he reached the room, he smashed his fist on the desk. Anger and guilt surrounded him. Tears of remorse filled his cheek.

"Are you sure about this?" Jun asked after a hug.
Sho forced a smile trying to look as carefree as he could, "I'm going to miss you guys."
"You sure you don't want to meet Aiba before you go? He regained his conscious last night."
"I know." He gave a hug for Ohno, "He's gonna be ok. Take care of him for me and apologize to Nino for leaving without telling him."
"I don't think now's the time to see him anyway. He's still heat up from whatever happens to Aiba..." Ohno said calmly.
" I have to dash. Remember, it's our secret." Jun and Ohno both nodded. They both said their goodbye as Sho passed through the departure area. Sho gave one look at the back with tears in his eyes, before he left.

A year just flown away like that.
The sight of the red leaves falling to the ground indicate the coming of fall. It had been raining non-stop. Aiba opened up his red umbrella as he walked through the pavement leading to a nearby park. He was actually clueless of where he was heading...but his feet brought him there. It wasn't all that bad. He love the outdoor. Enjoying the scenery of the bustling city and the smell of the rain...true, it's not that healthy with all the smoke and haze, but he like it better than being contained in his house. He had been in the hospital for a few months for rehabilitation before staying at Nino's...He had just return back to his house for two weeks, yet he hadn't had the chance to walk around the area.
Reaching the park, he couldn't help but feel a strong relation to the park...but what is it? The familiar sight...the familiar bench...Even the sand box and swing looks familiar. He tried remembering, but his head hurt...He stopped. Mimura had told him to not force himself. He then took a stroll to a nearby cafe for a cup of coffee.
He remembered everything around here...even the way to the cafe without even remembering hard. He stepped inside and ordered a milk coffee.
"Ah, I must've been here...I'm sure of it..." In just few moment, his coffee arrived at his table and in no time, he had already started to enjoy it. His favorite taste. Just as he was looking around, he realised a familiar face at the end of the restaurant. The guy seemed like he was explaining things to someone in front of him.
"Eh? Mimura-san..." He whispered to himself, "He's been busy lately...must be something to do with his work." He decided to not disturb him and just observe from distant. Mimura looked different without his piercing. He was wearing a beige scarf with a long coat making him seem rather sharp with his look. He gave out a different aura...as if attracting him.
Aiba reached out for his phone and texted Mimura, "You seem busy..."
As expected, the guy in front of him excuse himself to look at the phone. He typed something on the phone and tuck it away. Aiba checked his phone. A reply, "My my, are you stalking me...are you mad at the fact that I ignored you for these couple of days? I'll come and see you today. In fact I almost finish my work. I'll see you at your house tonight."
"No, don't trouble yourself. Let's just meet at the cafe...since you said you've just finish working."
"Which cafe? I'm at Fukushima right now. I'll be there in three hours."
Fukushima?
Aiba looked at the person in front of him...He was on the phone with someone. He can't be replying his message when he is on the phone...If he is in Fukuoka, then who...who is this person in front of him? That was when their eyes met each other and both of them had the same surprised look on their face.
