Here is the new fic that I am starting. Before I post the first chapter, I feel the need to say that I will not leave I hate waiting for you without finishing it and that I will try to update as often as possible. I hope you enjoy it.

ONE DAY

It was funny how things change. One moment you think you know all there is to know, that you own all you need to own… and in the next… everything is taken away. Life is a funny thing; a big game in which no matter how good you are, you would never win. And Aomine Daiki found this out the hard way.

The first time it happened it was right after a practice match against Seirin. He had been feeling too tired for his own good for a week now but there was not a single thing that could stop him from going all out against Kagami and beating the crap out of the red head. Hell, this was the best game Aomine had ever had. He lost with one point to Kagami , but that wasn't the problem. No, Aomine didn't mind losing as long as it meant he could use all of his potential. The trouble came afterwards, while he was in Touou's changing room, getting ready to leave. One moment he was joking around with Wakamatsu, enjoying the thrill of annoying his team mate…. And the next Aomine was on the ground.

The pain came suddenly. It tore through his abdomen like an arrow and brought Aomine on his knees. It hurt so much that he cried out despite the desperate attempts to keep quiet. All players ditched whatever they were doing and rushed to his side.

"Aomine-kun!" Sakirai called out and tried to help Aomine lean against his arm. But the tanned boy was way beyond realizing what was happening around him.

"Dai-chan!" Momoi eased his body on the floor, making sure that he wasn't moving and that he had enough space. "Dai-chan! What is going on?!"

Never in his life had Aomine felt this weak and defend less. The pain had taken complete control over his body and mind.

"Someone call an ambulance!"

The world around him started to darken and blur and soon Aomine was lying on the ground unconscious.

The next time he heard something it was a mixture of faint whispers that became understandable little by little. There was also an annoying sound that reminded him strangely of an AV system.

"What does this mean, doctor?" was that Kise? Yes, it was his voice.

Aomine felt a jolt of happiness go through his chest at the realization. Kise… his Kise. But there was something strange in his lover's voice that bothered Aomine. Why did the blond sound so worried?

"I am not sure yet, Kise-san but we will run a few tests to rule out some of the possibilities." The voice of the man was confident and strong but gentle at the same time. It was a little familiar.

"When will he wake up?" Satsuki? She was there was well? What the hell was going on?

"I can't say for sure, Momoi-san. My best guess is any moment now."

Why did everyone sound like something bad had happened? What was going on? Aomine grew agitated and tried to open his eyes but his lids weighted tons.

"Dad, you aren't telling us something," Ok, now Aomine was utterly at loss. He had to be hallucinating. There was no other explanation for Midorima to be there.

A long silence followed and Aomine could almost hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

"I am afraid Aomine-san may be seriously ill given the information Kise-san gave me."

No, I am fine. I just need to rest properly. Don't worry them, idiot. I don't want Kise to think that I am ill.

Aomine managed to groan softly and crack his eyes open. God, it took so much effort to do so.

"Aominecchi!" Kise hurried to his bed, his face distorted with worry. The blond grabbed his hand and brought it to his pale cheek. "God, you scared the living crap out of me! How are you feeling?"

The tanned boy tried to answer but nothing came out of his opened mouth. Instead he moved his fingers, caressing Kise's skin as an apology for worrying him.

The blond smiled and leaned to the touch not really caring for the audience they had.

"You are finally awake…" Kise muttered and squeezed his eyes in relieve.

Aomine gathered all of the strength he had left to speak.

"What happened?" the voice that left his mouth didn't sound as his own at all. It was raspy.

"You passed out after the game with Seirin," Kise reminded him and Aomine flinched.

Now that it was mentioned, he could remember the pain. Without realizing it, Aomine

Touched the area where it had hurt so much. No, now there was nothing aching but he had a strange feeling.

Midorima pushed his glasses up with his taped fingers and stepped forward with Momoi by his side.

"How do you feel, Aomine?" the green haired boy asked.

The tanned one shrugged. He moved a little and made Kise sit next to him. He needed the blond to be as near as possible to erase the trembling in his body.

"I feel fine," he looked at the man who resembled Midorima surprisingly much. Ah, his father. He and Aomine had met a few times so the tanned boy nodded in greetings and pulled Kise closer. "A little tired though."

The doctor nodded and came closer to check Aomine's temperature.

"At least you don't have fever anymore," not that it was a good thing, he thought, hoping he was wrong. "I need to take some blood to run a few test."

The Touou's player nodded and extended his arm.

"Dai-chan…" oh, yeah, he had forgotten about Satsuki. Aomine smiled reassuringly at her.

"Don't worry, Satsuki. Everything is fine," he promised The girl didn't look even one bit relieved.

She was no idiot; she knew that there was something wrong. Now that she looked at her childhood friend more carefully, she found out that Kise was right. He really looked like he had lost some weight and the bags under his eyes gave out just how tired he was.

"Your teammates and the Seirin's team is outside, I will go tell them that you are awake." Before Aomine could say anything, the girl had left.

He frowned. The Seirin's team? And his own? What were those idiots thinking? Instead of training to become stronger they were here for him when he was fine.

"Midorima-sensei?" Kise interrupted his train of thoughts and Aomine shifted his attention to the blond. "I know it's against the hospital's rules, but I was wondering if I could stay with Aominecchi through the night."

The doctor hesitated for a second but ended up nodding. If there was anything he could do right now for the boy's health, that was to let him spend as much time with his boyfriend as possible. Because if he was right, which he prayed he wasn't, they didn't have much time left.

"Okay, but you have to call the nurse if anything happens, ok?"

Kise beamed and turned to Aomine with a bright smile on his face. For a second Aomine was struck by Kise's beauty. How could such a creature belong to him and him along? That was a question he still couldn't answer.

Too bad that the happiness in their hearts was about to be darkened.
