“Hey, Kazu” Matsu whispered pressing his lip’s to Nino’s forehead as gently as he could. Nino had been in the hospital for almost two weeks and although the physical scars were fading there seemed to be no sign of waking up. Matsu was beginning to love the sound of the machines, as long as they were humming Nino was alive. Aiba was right Nino would pull through this, he was a fighter. “Kazu, do you know I can’t get past the boss on that game I was telling you about? If you were here you’d laugh so hard while doing it one go… I wish you would wake up, my bossy wife…”
“Jun-kun… How is he?” Matsu turned as he heard Mrs Ninomiya coming into the room.
“He’s looking better” He said getting up to allow her to sit down
“You’re right he is… Jun I don’t want to push you out but I want to spend some time alone…”
“I…”
“Just a few minutes” She murmured and reluctantly Matsu agreed.
“I’ll be right back baby” He said kissing his husbands forehead before leaving. Kazuko smiled smoothing out Nino’s hair and positioning a damp cloth over his eyes.
“Alone at last ne?” She said “You really have good taste in men, Kazu… But you and Jun, you were meant to be together… Our families were always close but you two, even as babies you cried if we separated you… Jina and I were almost living together while raising you. Sometimes I was jealous, because almost before you could walk I knew the person who I would be giving you too…”
Nino tried to open his eyes but they felt heavy as if they belonged to someone else. He panicked wondering where he was, around him he could hear people and machines but when he tried to move pain shot through his entire body.
“Kazunari, you’re not going to go like this are you?” He heard what he thought was his mum speaking beside him. He wanted to tell her that he was okay but nothing would come out and he wasn’t sure if that was actually true. He tried to piece together what had happened. There was something about Matsu being beat up and then a knife. Anything other than that was just a jumble of images in his mind. He tried to lift his hand, but a white hot painful heat ripped through him again.
It was then that he realised that something was in his mouth and down throat, he tried to gag, but the obstruction didn’t move. His eyes still wouldn’t open and he became terrified that he was going to be trapped forever like this. Finally he made a sound, it was only a whimper but his mum heard it.
“Kazunari?” She whispered and to his immense relief he felt her grip his hand, so that meant he had some feeling still. He also felt something being moved from his eyes and slowly he was able to open one and then the other. The image he saw was blurred, like an out of focus camera, light and shade was clearly visible but everything else seemed to have a thin layer of film over it. “Kazu!” His mum squeaked and Nino let out another sound thinking that it would be easier if the thing wasn’t in his mouth.
He closed his eyes again nearly crying as he felt a warm pain fill his entire body, holding on to the belief that if he could feel pain he was going to be able to feel other things. He groaned as a sharp beeping sound filled his ears. His eyes opened and he tried to tell her to switch it off but suddenly the room seemed to explode with activity. People he didn’t know were flittering around near him asking too many questions then he could answer. The thing in his throat was removed and bright light was being shone in his face, while a man’s voice kept asking him
“How do you feel?”
“…Ju-n” He croaked out his throat sore and obviously bruised from the pipe they had just removed “Ju-n?”
“He’s right outside, he’s barely left your side” A female voice he didn’t recognise told him gently. Nino felt his body relax at her words as long as Matsu was okay, he was going to be okay. They ran some test pinching his toes and hands and it seemed to be a good thing that he could feel them. His eye sight was returning slowly but he closed his eyes thinking it was childish but the first thing he wanted to see was Jun. The nurse realised and with a soft chuckle she went to the door “Matsumoto-kun, he wants to see you…”
Nino felt his heart thud against his ribs as he felt his husband come to the bed and take his hand, Nino wanted to smile as he smelt the familiar scent of peach body wash. A kiss was placed on his forehead and he opened his eyes slowly staring up into the amazingly beautiful face of his husband. Matsu was crying but his smile was the biggest Nino had ever seen and Nino knew he was right to want to see this first.
“Kaz…” Matsu whispered and Nino finally managed a small smile that only caused Matsu’s tears to flow more quickly.
“J… Cry… Bab-y” Nino whispered and wiping his eyes Matsu nodded
“Yeah… But you’re the only one that can make me cry…” He told him. At some point the nurse and doctor had left and he was glad that nobody else had seen Matsu look like that. “Do you remember what happened?”
Nino closed his eyes trying to make sense of the jumbled images his brain was throwing at him. He was in a classroom with Aiba, there was the knife and then a cracking sound.
“Ma-sa?” Nino crocked
“He’s fine, he was stabbed but he’s okay” Matsu told him soothingly, “He’s asleep right now… Are you okay?”
“Hurts….” Nino mumbled and he realised that he was getting tired again. He didn’t want to close his eyes he wanted to stare at Matsu for as long as possible but he couldn’t fight the tiredness that was overwhelming him. If it didn’t hurt so much he would have already fallen to sleep. Matsu went and called for a nurse who it seemed was hovering by the door.
“Hey sweetie… I’m going to give you some medicine it will help the pain okay?”
Nino nodded all too soon he was falling to sleep, but he could feel Matsu holding his hand tightly. He wasn’t sure how long he had been asleep, it felt like forever but at the same time it felt like it was only a few minutes. As his eyes opened he was greeted by an almost high pitch scream of
“Baby-Kazu! You’re really awake!”
“Mas-a-mam-a” Nino smiled his throat was still throbbing but he was happy to see his friend. Aiba almost threw himself at his chest “Agnn.. . Ma-sa..” He moaned
“Ah… Sorry…” Aiba said getting up and wiping his eyes “I knew you were going to be okay…” Nino relaxed as the weight was removed and then realised that his friend was wearing pyjamas, and then he remembered what Matsu had said about him being stabbed.
“Ar-e yo-u okay?”
“Yeah… I’m fine… Better now that you’re awake, I was so worried… Jun-kun he too was worried…And your mum slapped me…”
“Wha-t… Why?” Nino asked as he tried to catch up to the conversation
“Because I told her I was sorry I didn’t stop it..” Aiba mumbled
“I… Wou-ld slap you too… I don’t re-memb-er what happen-ed bu-t I do kn-ow it was-n’t yo-ur fa-ult…” Nino told him, though at the end of little speech his throat was on fire and he sagged gratefully against the pillow.
“Thank-you…” Aiba said crying again, Nino smiled and reached out with his good hand to take his friends.
“Wh-at hap-pene-d? I ca-n only re-mem-ber pie-ce-s…” he asked as Aiba dried his eyes again.
“They lured you into the classroom and then Umeda threatened you with a knife… You fell out of a window onto a wall…”As Aiba spoke the disjointed images fell into place like a jigsaw puzzle and he was overwhelmed with it for a moment. He closed his eyes and his body started shaking “Sorry!” Aiba gasped stopping his story “I was warned not to upset you…”
“It’s okay… I ask-ed you…” Nino told him as a doctor came in followed by Matsu.
“The next few weeks and months are going to be tough…” The doctor told him after running some tests “But I think with the right attitude you should be okay… Think of something positive to keep your mind on…”
“I’ll make sure he has the right attitude” Matsu promised quickly, the doctor gave a light chuckle writing some notes before ushering Aiba back into his own room again. Matsu closed the door and to Nino’s immense surprise dropped down onto one knee beside the bed.
“Kazunari… Will you marry me?”
“We’re alrea-dy-y marri-ed…” Nino pointed out though he had to admit he had been thinking about it himself.
“We just treated that day as a joke… This time I want it to be real for us… So will you?”
