Title: The Real Meaning of Member Ai (Part 3 of 4)
Author: talisa_ahn
Pairing: None… but if you’re the type of person to look real hard… maybe MassuPi or KoyaPi
Disclaimer: Sadly, no, I do not have anything to do with anything related to JE. *sigh*
Genre: Drama? I don’t usually write like this so I’m not really sure
Rating: PG
Summary: Massu’s away for filming but things go wrong back home. What happened to Pi?
Warning: Kinda depressing for Valentine’s season. Just saying.
A/N: I am well aware that Massu’s RESCUE filming is in Tokyo (well… Yokohama. Close enough). Humor me.
-----------------------------------------
“Two and a half liters?!”
He’d called as soon as the day’s filming was done. This time he was talking to Koyama. The test results had come in and they were now pumping the blood that had collected in Pi’s lungs. Through the tube, they’d already extracted 2.5 liters.
“How is he otherwise?” Massu asked softly.
He heard Koyama sigh. “Exhausted. With so much blood in his lungs, he has a hard time catching his breath. He’s starting to worry. Before, he was worried, but about making other people worry. He’s always assumed that it wasn’t really a big deal and he’d just get better. Today’s the first time he’s actually worried.”
Massu paused. “Should he be?”
“Well… Ryo-chan cornered his doctor today. From what I understand, the wound is already healing, so once we get the blood out of his lungs, he should have an easier time breathing. That way his heart rate will strengthen and stabilize. From there we might be able to get him out of ICU. The only thing we can do in the meantime is get him to eat more… which is getting kinda tricky.”
When Massu didn’t say anything, Koyama let out a motherly sigh. “Massu… it’s gonna be okay. Everyone’s doing their best for him so you have to do the same okay?”
“Hai.”
.oO@Oo.
Ryo-tan forced muscle milk down Yamapi’s throat today. Probably not the best method, but the high protein and calorie count will probably be good in the long run. Chewing was making him exhausted so we’re resorting to liquids for the moment.
There’s less blood coming from the tube in his chest. He’s doing better.
Don’t worry too much. Ganbatte ne.

.oO@Oo.
“He’s working really hard,” Nakamaru muttered into the phone. He’d just fallen asleep when Koyama called.
“Is he sleeping well? Does he look tired in the morning? Has he been eating normally?”
“Koyama… why don’t you ask him yourself?”
“Because he’d say everything’s okay with him and to not worry,” he replied without hesitation. He might as well have added ‘duh’ at the end.
.oO@Oo.
The next day at filming, Nakamaru pulled Massu to the side. “Whatever you’re doing that’s making your band mates worry, please stop.”
The shorter boy gave him a strange look. “I’m not doing anything.”
“You’ve gotta be doing something,” he muttered, looking his friend over. “Koyama called last night worried, Tegoshi called this morning to make sure you ate breakfast, and Nishikido-kun sent a rather threatening email insisting that I take better care of you.”
“They’re worried about me? They’re supposed to be worried about Yamapi!”
“Have you seen what you look like lately?” Nakamaru countered. “They are worried about Yamashita-kun, but they know you well enough to know that they need to worry about you too.”
Massu fell silent.
“You’re lucky to have the band mates you do. Yamashita-kun being in the hospital is harder right now ‘cause to them, it feels like they’re missing not just him, but you too.
Now let’s get you some lunch before they call to yell at me again.”
TBC…
A/N: Late night update. ^^; My computer’s failing me at the moment. So, a few things. 1) The thing wrong with Pi’s blood. I didn’t change anything from what I had originally written in my notebook deciding that going into it too much would hurt the story’s flow. The important info is the info that Koyama knows and understands, which is what he passes on to Massu. 2) Which is the far less important of the 2. I have tried and failed several times today to figure out a V-day fic to post this weekend. ARGH! On the bright side though, the 4th and final part of this fic (which I suppose is really just a long one-shot broken into 4 parts) will be posted tomorrow. ^-^ Hopefully.
