He never gets tired, never been hurt or never been in pain but one unanticipated afternoon, Yamada Ryosuke had this sudden loss of consciousness which leads his bestfriend, Nakajima Yuto, to bring him right away to the nearest hospital. This is very unusual for someone like Yamada Ryosuke because he’s a sport-lover person who keeps on moving everyday which makes him utterly healthy in any ways. But unfortunately something in his system is now growing tired of his everyday stresses, a very valuable thing that can only keep him living.
“Where are his parents?...” the first question that the doctor raises at Yuto.
“He has no parents doc…” Yuto replied in a worried tone. “He’s an orphan…”
“Then to whom I can talk about his condition?...” asked by the doctor.
“Why doc?...” Yuto asked back. “Is there something wrong?...”
“I would like to talk this out to his guardian because there’s something I would like to know about how he was born and if there was any complication when his mother was giving birth to him?...”
“He never knew his mother or his father…” Yuto sympathetically explained. “He was just left outside the doorstep of the orphanage when he was still a baby…”
“Oh…” the doctor turned away with face frowning all of a sudden. “That is so unfortunate, sorry for asking…”
“It’s ok…” Yuto said with saddened face as well. “You can talk it out with me…”
“I think it’s better if I’ll talk this out with him because it’s something he should know as well…”
“Why?...” Yuto turned over-worried all of a sudden. “Is it very critical?...”
“Not just critical boy but life-threatening…”
“How come?...” he unbelievably asked. “Ryosuke is the healthiest person I’ve ever met! How come he’s now in a life-threatening situation?...”
“It’s a medical condition that is very undetectable unless the person shows some signs and symptoms of it…”
“Is fainting one of it’s signs?...”
“Not just fainting but weakness, sudden fatigability, lost of oxygenation in the body, chest pain, sometimes palpitations, other’s may have decrease blood pressure, bluish discoloration of the nails and lips and gasping as if they are drowning but the most dangerous of them all is arrest…”
“Arrest?! What arrest?!...”
“Cardiac arrest which could also lead to respiratory arrest and the end of it is… you know… possibly death…”
“What the hell!...” he slammed his hand on his nape and then he turned his sight to look at his friend who is still lying unconscious on the bed. “What kind of a medical condition is this doc?...”
“Hyperthropic cardiomyopathy. It shows in his chest x-ray and I can hear how stress his heart about it already…” he said while letting Yuto hear Ryosuke’s heart through a stethoscope.
“What’s that motor-like sound?...” Yuto asked while listening to it carefully.
“It’s called murmur. A sound that is not supposed to be there…” the doctor replied while taking out the stethoscope away from Yuto’s ears. “He must have had it already since he was baby but unable to notice it until he stressed out all of his muscles today…”
“Ryosuke was never in the gym today or in the field to play his soccer games…” Yuto murmured while recalling all the activities they had since this morning. “All he did today was to pig out and…” he crooked his forehead when he remembered one unfortunate event which makes Ryosuke eat and eat like as if the guy has an endless gut like a pig. “That bastard…” he growled deep-throatily.
“What is it?...” the doctor curiously asked.
“Nothing…” he turned around with a decision to face someone today with fisted hands on his sides. It’s kind of unlike him but Ryosuke has only one bestfriend and that’s him. He’ll be very useless if he can’t do a thing about this. And beside, Ryosuke is now critically ill. If that bastard seriously gave up then Ryosuke’s condition might worsen.
“Where are you going?...” asked by the doctor while watching Yuto marching out with heavy steps.
“To kill someone who got nothing but all face!...”
“Fuck!...” Yuya yelled as soon he received the punch that Yuto had given him. “What’s the matter with you?...” he asked while checking out his face on the tinted glass of his car. He’s about to embark it when someone pulled him back from the rear to face up, receiving the punch thereafter which ruins the face he’d been protecting preciously all this time.
“What’s the matter with me?...” he asked back with teeth grinding inside his mouth. “Why don’t you ask yourself why am I like this?...”
“Is this about Ryosuke again?...” he smug. “Aren’t we done yet about this?...”
“No!...” he clouted Yuya to lean a back on the car. “I gave him to you because he loves you and you just hurt him like this?!...”
“Why?...” he smirked with face pretentiously insulting Yuto that he is much handsome than the guy that’s why Ryosuke loves him first even Yuto is already been there before him. “Is he now having indigestion of eating and now at the hospital to have some gastric lavage?..”
“No!...” he glared angrily. “But yes he’s in the hospital right now not because of indigestion but because he’s dying you idiot!...”
“Dying of what?...” he rolled his eyes. “Dying of eating too much after being dumped?...”
“Dying of what you have done!...”
“I don’t understand you!...” he pushed Yuto to let him go. “I’m tired of him that’s why I dumped him! I’ve been dumping so many girls and guys already so why is he a big deal if all of them before are just ok?...”
“Because he’s unlike them!...” he threw his fist again this time but Yuya swiftly captured it in one swoop.
“You can hit me once but not twice…” he threatened with gaze telling Yuto to stop this and just let go. “He’s all yours Nakajima, so why are you angry?...”
“Because Ryosuke never found what family truly means until he knew that you love him but what have you done. You ruined it! You ruined the only hope he has to continue living. He’d been an orphan all his life and never been too close to anybody until he found that he’s in love with you but what the hell is this all about Yuya? Why do you have to play like a jerk when you had your knees on the ground at that time asking me to let you have him even though I don’t want to?!...”
“Because he’s cute, that’s all…” he joked and Yuto kicked him on his balls. “Fuck!...” he groaned. “Since when did you have this gut to fight?!...”
“Since today I knew that my friend is dying all because of you!...”
“What are you doing?...” Yuto grabbed out the soccer ball from Ryosuke’s hands the moment he saw his friend playing with it even still treated with oxygen inhalation. “You are supposed to be resting…”
“What happened to your knuckles?...” Ryosuke asked while reaching out to take a look closely at his bestfriend’s hands. “Did you knock off someone with these hands?...”
“It’s a scratch…” he lied. “I got it when I fell off the stairs while ascending hurriedly up here…”
“Don’t lie…” he shook off Yuto’s hands to cross his arms before his chest. “You punch him, right?...”
“Who?...” he pretended he doesn’t know.
“Don’t make me say his name…” he woefully drops his head down to look at his toes. “Is he ok?...”
“Ok?...” he turned confuse. “Are you asking me if he’s ok after I punch him on his face?...”
“Yes, if you did so, why?...” he innocently inquired back.
“Come on!...” he wiped off his face with his palm exasperatedly. He can’t believe this. After all of what that bastard did, Ryosuke is still worried-sick like hell about him. “He deserves it!...”
“So meaning you marred him with your knuckles? You? You, who can’t even kill a fly all this time?...”
“What do you want me to do then?...” he asked back. “Let him do what he wants? Let him hurt someone like you even more? Ryosuke! Wake up please… He’s not the guy meant for you. I’ve been always telling you that…”
“We are just in misunderstanding…” he said, believing that Yuya is just upset because he disagreed on one thing which makes their relationship blur for the mean time. “We can still be together…”
“Don’t stress-out yourself like that…” he grabbed his bestfriend’s hands to hold into his’ hands. “Why do you have to keep on chasing him if I’m just here helping you out all the time?...”
“Because I had this dream Yuto…” he faintly smiled, densely ignoring what Yuto had just told him. “A dream of him and I having the most wonderful family on earth…”
“Can’t I just be the one Ryosuke?...” he asked, eyeing his bestfriend who’s sight is now in deep thoughts, probably dreaming wide awake of that wonderful-family-on-earth-thing-with-Yuya. “Can’t you just love me instead?...”
“Am I…” he suddenly tipped off, completely oblivious of what Yuto had just asked him. “…dying?...” he looked up then to meet his bestfriend’s gaze. “The doctor told me of my condition and it’s not so good…”
“No your not…” he assured while patting Ryosuke on the head. “You’re fine…”
“But he said I can’t play soccer anymore. I can’t carry heavy loads. Laugh too hard. Cry too hard and even watch horror movies…”
“He’s just telling you those because he doesn’t want to stress out your heart…”
“Why? Is my heart giving up already?...” he started to tear-up.
“Nothing is giving up. No one is giving up. And you’re heart isn’t giving up because I’m not letting that to happen. We’ll seek for a second option…”
“Why are you so good to me?...” he cried lightly.
“Because I’m your bestfriend…” he wiped off Ryosuke’s tears, placing the subject of him confessing his feelings aside since Ryosuke is still and will always still be unmindful about it, just to calm the guy down from stressing-out even more. “The only person who will be here as your family if everything will turn their back on you…”
“How I wish you’re Yuya…” he leaned his face on his bestfriend’s chest, ignoring how painful this is for Yuto who loathes the person he’d been in love all this time. “How I wish he’s here and he’s you comforting me like this…”
“Then think it that way…” he swallowed his pride, his anger and his envy. He can’t hurt Ryosuke after all by shoving off the guy or by telling the guy enough already. If this is the only way left for Ryosuke to be at ease, then so be it. It’s better to be hurt than to see Ryosuke dying because of too much burden.
-----------------------------------------------------
A/N: It’s angsty, isn’t it? Well that’s for the start and Yuya is such a big jerk! Do you agree with me?
To the requester: Sorry if I typed this first. I found this interesting so I write it first. Hope you don’t mind.
