Chapter 8
Running to the information desk Junno quickly gave his brothers name to the nurse who directed him the pediatrics floor, quickly he made his way towards that direction closely followed by Ueda. Reaching the second floor he searched for his brother's assigned room and found his parents sitting next to his brothers bed. Junno felt his heart stop as his eyes landed on the fragile body on the bed connected to different wires and an oxygen mask covering his small nose and mouth.
“What happened?” Junno asked as he moved closer to the bed caressing his brother's cheek. His mother moved next to him and took his hand.
“I don't know he was fine yesterday, when he went to sleep early we thought he was just tired of playing but today while we were eating he just collapsed.” His mother was in tears at this point and all Junno could do was wrap his arms around her.
“They said he's gotten worse.” His father spoke from the other side of the bed. “He needs the surgery now...but we don't have the money for it. What are we going to do?” His father asked trying to hold back his tears.
Junno looked down at his young brother. “I'll figure something out, maybe if we get a loan-”
“I'll pay for it.” Everyone looked at the door where Ueda stood. He had decided to give Junno and his family some privacy before coming in.
“Prince Ueda.” Junno's parents bowed as they recognized who he was.
“I'll pay for the surgery.” They all looked at him but he kept his gaze on Junno.
“No...Ueda that's too much. You have already done so much for us-”
“I'll pay for it. Junno if you don't do it now he'll get worse.” Ueda said looking at Junno.
Moving towards Ueda he pulled him out of the room into the empty hallway. “Ueda...Thank you for your offer but its too much...you have already given me so much I don't-” Lips pressed against his cutting off his sentence.
“Junno I love you and I'll do anything in my power to see you happy. I don't like seeing you sad. Besides I'm the prince so anything I say goes and I say I will pay for your brother's surgery.” Junno wrapped his arms around Ueda.
“Thanks Tat-chan.”
“Tat-chan?”
Juno blushed and looked away from Ueda. “Sorry I won't call you that anymore.”
Ueda smirked and wrapped his arms around Junno. “Only you are allowed to call me that...just don't do it in front of Nishikido.” Junno smiled and nodded in Ueda's embrace. “Now come on lets go find a doctor.”
Two hours later all the paperwork had been filed and the surgery was scheduled for the following day. Nervously Junno made his way towards Yasuo's room to inform his parents when a hand wrapped around his.
“Relax, if you're nervous you'll make your parents nervous too.” Junno nodded and tightened his grip in Ueda's hand as if drawing energy from him. They both walked into the room and Junno began explaining everything to his parents. When he finished they both looked over at Ueda and began thanking him immediately and after twenty minutes of gratitude Ueda excused himself form the room to make a call leaving Junno and his parents with a waking Yasuo.
“Oniichan?”
“Hey Yasuo...how are you doing?”
“Oniichan what am I doing here?” Junno looked down at him and smiled cheerfully.
“You're here to get better.” He placed a kiss against the pale forehead which caused Yasuo to giggle.
“Are you staying with me?” He asked looking at Junno.
“Yes he is.” Both Yasuo and Junno looked over at Ueda.
“Prince Ueda!” Yasuo exclaimed excitedly.
“Hey! How come you didn't get excited when you saw me?” Junno asked pouting causing both Ueda and Yasuo to roll their eyes making his parents laugh.
“Hey Yasuo.” Ueda said ruffling the small boys hair. Yasuo smiled brightly up at Ueda.
“If you would like me and Junno can stay with Yasuo while you two go eat something.” Ueda offered looking over at Junno's parents who reluctantly took the offer at the request of both their sons.
All three spent the time talking about nonsense things as Junno and Ueda tried to make Yasuo smile but Junno seemed to be failing as his jokes only seem to confuse his younger brother and Ueda kept giving him bewildered looks. After his parents arrived Junno and Ueda went out to give them some time together.
“Why don't you stay with them?” Ueda asked as they made their way to the waiting area.
“I want them to spend time alone with him.” Junno said smiling. They sat in the couch in each other arms as Junno tried not to think about what might go wrong and Ueda tried to distract him. Their time was interrupted as Ueda's phone rang. Reaching into his pocket Ueda looked at the phone screen in mild shock.
“Junno I'll be right back okay?” Junno nodded and moved away from Ueda.
Once he was out of Junno's hearing range Ueda answered his phone.
“I want to see you immediately. Come now.” The click of the phone indicated the end of the conversation.
Ueda looked down at his phone in apprehension but made his way back to Junno.
“Junno I have to go back to the palace something came up. I'll be back as soon as possible alright?” Junno stood and walked towards Ueda.
“Do you want me to go. Let me just tell them I'm leaving.” Junno said pointing at his brother's room.
“No. You stay here with your family. Don't worry I'll be back soon.” Ueda placed a soft kiss on Junno's lips and left.
Reaching the palace Ueda made his way to the private office and knocked on the closed door. He heard a reply and entered the room closing the door behind him. Sitting on a chair Ueda waited until the man in front of him stopped writing.
Putting the pen down the king looked at Ueda, “What are you thinking? Why are you getting involved in that servant's problem?” The king asked looking over at Ueda.
“You're having me watched?”
“Answer my question?”
“Do you really need an explanation? Doesn't your informant know why?” A hand slammed loudly down on the desk.
“What are you thinking creating a relationship with that boy! Break it off and let him deal with his own problems. He isn't worthy for your status.”
Ueda saw red and quickly stood up from his chair. “Don't you dare talk like that about him!”
“I am your father ad the king and you will do what I say!”
“No. I won't and you can't tell me what I can or cannot do!”
“You're behaving like a child!”
“I'm not leaving him especially not now!”
“YOU-”
“Father.” Both Ueda and the king turned to face the door, he tried to hide his shock as he realized who was walking into the office. “Ueda, Please wait outside while I talk with him.”
“But..”
“Trust me.” Ueda looked at his brother for the longest time. It had been years since he had heard those words spoken to him by his brother, nodding he turned and calmly walked out the door.
Sitting in the hallway Ueda waited nervously for fifteen walking back and forth as he waited to be called back in. he didn't know what his father was thinking but he wasn't going to leave Junno, especially not now that he needed him by his side.
Finally the door opened and Ueda was about to step inside when his brother came out the room smiling at him.
“You should go to the hospital.”
“Eh?”
“You shouldn't leave him alone right now, he needs you.”
“How did you...”
His brother smiled at him, “Hey, I'm the Crown Prince...that's leverage. You know I hadn't seen that smile on your face in such a long time...I missed it. I'm glad you have someone that makes you happy...Well I have paperwork to do.” Ueda watched as his brother turned and made his way to his own office closing the door quietly behind him.
For a couple of seconds Ueda stood still replaying what his brother had just said. “Oniichan...arigatou”
Reaching the second floor Ueda found Junno sitting in the waiting area asleep, carefully he sat next to him bringing his hand up to caress his cheek he watched him stir from his sleep and smile at him.
“Hey, when did you get back?”
“Just now. Why are you sleeping out here?”
“Yasuo fell back asleep and my parents are with him now.”
Ueda wrapped his arms around Junno and brought him down to lay against his chest. Accepting the comforting gesture Junno snuggled against Ueda's chest and closed his eyes. They both sat there for a long time Ueda giving Junno all the comfort he could while Junno tried avoid thinking about anything bad.
As visiting hours came to a close Ueda arranged so that Junno and his parents would be able to stay in the hospital next to Yasuo, which Junno thanked him for.
“Thank you Tat-chan.”
“Stop saying thank you and if you really want to thank me give me a kiss.” Junno blushed but complied to Ueda's request.
The next morning Junno and Ueda sat next to Yasuo as his parents had gone to have breakfast.
“Oniichan? Can you go get me a coloring book...Please?”
Junno looked at his brother and smiled, “Of course. I'll be right back.” He got up and walked out of the room.
“Ne, Prince Ueda...do you like Oniichan?” Ueda chocked on his water and looked down at the small boy who was smiling up at him.
“What?”
“Because Oniichan likes you. He smiles at you a lot.” Ueda watched the young boy.
“You're very observant aren't you?” Yasuo giggled and looked at Ueda.
“Prince Ueda can I ask you for a favor?” Ueda noticed the change in the little boy's eyes and wondered how it was possible for such a little boy to have that look.
“Can you take care of Oniichan.”
“Eh?”
“If something happens later...you can take care of him right?” Ueda felt his heart clench at the sadness he found in those innocent eyes.
“What are you talking about Yasuo, Everything will be fine.” Ueda said not knowing who he was trying to reassure.
“Promise you'll take care of him...I don't want Oniichan to be sad.” Yasuo looked at Ueda with pleading eyes and all he could do was nod as his throat tightened as he tried to hold back the tears, Yasuo smiled.
“Yasuo I found one of your favorite ones.” Junno smiled as he came into the room but was interrupted as a doctor and nurse filled the room followed by his parents.
“Its time to get everything ready. Some nurses will be here soon to take Yasuo to the operation room. I'm very glad you all decided to do this now.” The doctor turned to Yasuo and smiled. “I'll see you in a bit alright Yasuo?” The little boy smiled and nodded and the doctor and nurse walked out.
“Oniichan...can I have a hug?”
Junno looked down at his brother and carefully wrapped him in his arms. A sudden fear gripped Junno's heart at the thought of never being able to hug his baby brother again and his arms tightened around the small boy as the urge to never leg go took him over.
“Oniichan...” Yasuo giggled, “You're squishing me!” Junno reluctantly released Yasuo but placed a gentle kiss on the small forehead before moving away. His place was soon taken by his parents as they hugged their youngest soon.
Ueda looked down at the young boy and smiled. “I'll see you in a bit.” He said ruffling the boy's hair. Shortly after a couple of nurses came into the room and changed Yasuo into another bed before moving him to the operating room.
Junno sat in the waiting area nervously bitting his nails as he watched the clock. A hand wrapped around his and squeezed it reassuringly and Junno smiled as he placed his head on Ueda's shoulder.
Two hours later the door to the operating room slowly opened and the doctor stepped out walking towards Junno and his parents. Getting up Junno walked over to the doctor.
“How's Yasuo?”
The doctor looked at Junno.
“I'm sorry...we did what we could but his body was too weak...I'm sorry.”
Junno stood frozen as the doctors words kept replaying in his mind. His body felt numb and his knees began to tremble, from far away he could hear his mother crying but his body wouldn't move. His brother's smiling face, his laughter and the small hugs that always followed as soon as Junno walked in the room kept replaying in his mind. Junno's knees gave out but a pair of arms wrapped around his waist without another thought Junno turned towards Ueda as the tears slid down his face and sobs escaped his lips.
Yasuo was gone.
