"Please, just do anything ! Save him Doctor !"
"We will try our best, Nakajima-san." And with that, the man in white disappeared behind the Operating Room right after Ryosuke was wheeled inside.
Now having nothing else to do, Yuto could only wait for the doctors do their job in saving a life. Being in this situation, Yuto could only be reminded of what Inoo had said before. He sobs uncrontrollably as his body dropped to the ground. He really hadn't meant that. He hadn't meant to used his power and killed his brother's saver, despite unintentionally. He was just too worried over his brother's condition. he hadn't meant anything else.
"God, please. Let Ryosuke be saved. I don't want him to pay for my sins. If someone should be blamed and hurted right now, it should be me, and not him. Please, please, let him be okay..." He begs quietly to himself as tears kept streaming down his face. "Ryosuke didn't do anything wrong. He didn't deserved this. He didn't deserved any of these..."
Suddenly, a can of warm coffee shoved into his chest. Looking up to see who was doing it, Yuto faced with a concerned-looked Keito standing over him.
"Don't depress yourself too much, Yuto. Though I haven't met him in person, I know that Yamada-san is a strong man from all the stories you told me. He will pull through. And now, it's your turn to take a good care of him, ne ?" The man offering a hand toward the younger boy.
Yuto stayed still as his mind still digesting the words his bestfriend just said. After a while, Yuto reaches out the hand offered to him and stand up properly. Wiping the remnants of tears from his face, Yuto smile and sigh deeply. "You're right, Keito. I can't stay like this. I have to be strong for Ryosuke."
"That's how it is." Keito pat the taller boy's back rather strongly to encourage the man more. "As for the time being, let's just hope and wait."
***
Ryosuke woke up to the sound of chirping birds coming from outside his room. He feels pleasantly warm as he inhales the morning breeze around him. But the unfamiliarity if the scene made him almost jumped out of his position, only to be stopped by the stinging pain around his abdomen.
"Ittai !" He hissed painfully as his hand reached out to touch the source of his pain.
"Ryosuke ? You're awake ?"
Startled by the sudden call, Ryosuke jerk his body only to hiss again at another wave of pain coming from his abdomen.
"Hey ! Are you okay ? Easy, easy." His company makes up the pillows behind Ryosuke to be as comfortable as possible before making him lean back his pained body. "How are you feeling ? Are you hungry ? Or do you want anything to drink ? Do you feel cold ? Here, let me fix your blanket."
Ryosuke stopped the hand who is busily fixing just anything around him and stare the man in the eyes. "Who are you ?" He asks with a frown clearly seen on his face.
The stricken look of the other party makes Ryosuke giggles a bit, but it didn't faltered him. "Oh my God ! I can't believe this ! You're having an amnesia ! Oh my ! I should go and tell he Doctor for this !" He's about to leave but was stopped again by Ryosuke's grip.
"It's not like that. I do remember you, Yuto-kun. It's just, you're acting really strange, and it's just so not-you to be such a worrywart, really." Ryosuke chuckle while shaking his head in disbelief.
"So you don't have an amnesia ?" Asked Yuto as if to confirm the information.
"Nope. Not at all." Ryosuke shake his head lightly.
"Yokatta !" Yuto rushed toward the boy and hugs him tightly, as if Ryosuke is his only source of living.
The hugged boy was startled by the the sudden action, but his figure relaxed after a moment and he raised both of his hands to hug Yuto as well. Faintly, Ryosuke can feel a liquid wetting his clothing around the shoulder area. And if the constant shaking of Yuto's body is any indication, Ryosuke know that Yuto is crying on him right now.
"I thought *sniff* I'm going to *sniff* lose you ! I'm feeling *sniff* really guilty that *sniff* you have to suffer *sniff* because of me *sniff* !"
Ryosuke pat the crying boy's back soothingly to calm him down. "Shh. I'm okay now. You don't have to feel guilty anymore. I'm okay now. Don't worry."
They both just stay like that for a moment. One trying to find comfort, while the other trying to give the comfort.
Ryosuke smile as he feels Yuto shifted and pull away from their embrace. "Feeling better now ?" He asks softly.
Yuto nod while rubbing his swollen eyes. "I'm sorry to cry like this. I was just, worried."
"It's okay." Ryosuke smile while fixing the younger's hair. "I undestand. And thank you for worrying me."
Yuto nod once again as he finally calmed down. "Anyway, how are you feeling ? Does the wound still hurt ? Do you want anything ?"
Ryosuke laugh at Yuto's questions. "Really, being a worrywart doesn't suit you. And the wound doesn't hurt anymore. Well, just a bit, but it is something bearable for me. And no, I don't need anything for the moment." Right after he finished his words, he coughs. "Well, a glass of water will always help." He grins sheepishly.
Yuto smile as he grabs the water bottle rested on top of the bedside drawer and pour it's content onto the small glass beside it. "Here." He offers the glass toward the boy on the bed who accept it thankfully.
"Thanks, Yuto-kun." Thanked Ryosuke as he let the younger boy put back the glass down.
"Don't mind it. Anyway, it's almost time for the Doctor to do a checkup." Said Yuto as he glances at the watch hanging on the wall.
Just after he said that, a knock coming from outside the room and a second later, the said Doctor come in with the petite nurse tailing behind him.
"Ohayou gozaimasu. Ah, Yamada-san, I see you have awaken." Greet the Doctor as he walks toward the two boys.
"Ohayou, sensei." Yuto greet back cheerfully.
"Ohayou." Ryosuke bow a bit at his greeting.
"So, how are you feeling ?" Asked the Doctor as he starts checking on Ryosuke's vitals such as his heartbeat, blood pressure, etc.
"I'm feeling fine. The wound still hurt a bit though." Answered Ryosuke quietly.
"That's fine. And your vitals looked good too. I'll just give you a painkiller shot for the pain you're feeling." The Doctor grabs a needle which he filled with an unknown liquid from the tray brought by the nurse behind him. After making sure that the amount is enough, he pierce the needle on the IV tube connected to ryosuke's wrist. "The painkiller will give you a drowsy feeling after an hour or so though. Make sure you grab some breakfast before you fall asleep. I'll tell someone to bring your breakfast earlier."
"Hai. Arigatou." Ryosuke bow down once again. "Anou, sensei ?"
"What is it ?" The Doctor asked while staring at the bedridden boy after he finished writing down things on his notes.
"Uhm, when will I being released ?" Ryosuke ask the Doctor rather sheepishly. "You see, I can't stay here too long. My mother and sister will be very worried. Beside, there's no one to watch over my mother. She is sick and my sister is still to small to take care of her."
"Ryosuke ! You should stop worrying about others and start worrying about yourself for once ! Let your body healed up fully before even thinking to go home !" Yuto scolded him as he put on hand over Ryosuke's shoulder.
"But Yuto-kun, my mother-" Ryosuke try to reason out.
"Don't worry about your mother and sister ! I had asked my friends to take care of them. They're in good hands ! Trust me !" Assured the tall boy.
"But-"
"Yamada-san, I think you should listen to what Nakajima-san was saying. You need to rest your body for a while indeed. Your body is still not strong enough after the operation you've gone through yesterday. I will say that you need to stay for about a week or more. We will talk about this further after we've seen how your condition is after a week, okay ?" Tell the Doctor warmly.
Ryosuke really wanted to reason them out, but found nothing to go against them. That's why he just sigh and nod at the decision. He slumps his shoulders and lean backward.
"Good then. Now I shall go and tell the cook to prepare your meal then." The Doctor smile as he pats Ryosuke's head.
"It's okay, sensei. I'll do it !" Exclaimed Yuto happily as he practically skipped out the room.
Ryosuke just chuckle at Yuto's childishness as he watches his back disappear.
"You're so fortunate to have him by your side. He wouldn't leave your side since last night. Insisting on waiting for you to wake up despite the visiting hour is over already. We couldn't say no to his determination, so we just let him do what he wants. You have such a caring boyfriend there."
Ryosuke blush at the comment made by the Doctor. "He's not my boyfriend." He utters quietly.
"He's not ? But he surely looks like he is." The Doctor frown at this statement.
"No, he's not." Ryosuke sigh deeply. "At least not yet. I certainly want him to be one too."
Ryosuke catch the Doctor's smiling at his confession. "You'll make a good couple." He commented gently. "Well, I think it's about time for me to leave. I'll see you around, Yamada-san."
Ryosuke bow as he watches the Doctor's back is also disappearing from his sight. After a few minutes staying in silence, Ryosuke sigh while staring at the scenery outside the window.
"I wonder what we will be..."
