Chapter 1: The Incident

They were sitting in the huge corridor watching the white painted walls of the private hospital they had come to. The scent of germicide was in the air and somehow the three persons felt uneasy while observing the red light above the door to the operation room. They were sitting here for nearly two hours now but they still didn´t know anything about the injured persons condition. Everything became chaotic and at the end of the battle they´d noticed that someone was missing. Let´s say a certain illusionist, who had been working really hard until that moment, noticed someone important was missing. Nobody else had noticed that the strongest fighter had been chasing an enemy away from the battlefield and didn´t return. Later Mukuro found a nearly dead and unconscious cloud guardian about 5 kilometres from the actual battlefield with a severe head injury and he wasn´t in a mood to even smirk about the fact that his enemy was looking way worse. He immediately took the smaller one to the hospital and now they were waiting.
Tsunayoshi looked across to the illusionist who was watching the heavily clouded sky through the accurately cleaned windows. He hadn´t said a word since they came here. The student wondered what he was thinking about for a while but then he decided he actually didn´t want to know. The fact that the hospital hating criminal was staying here during the operation was enough proof of his feelings for a certain someone and probably he was thinking about methods to torture the people responsible for his boyfriends condition. The other person sitting next to him on the white chairs seemed to be as nervous as he was but the purple haired girl also seemed to be worried about the situation. After all she was the one to know Mukuros thoughts the best and Tsuna was pretty sure she knew about the intensions of his feelings as well. They would be in trouble if something unexpected would happen now, therefore he told his friends to stay near the hospital but it would be too much if all of the guardians accompanied them to the hospital. But if Mukuro lost his nerves it would be really hard to stop him.
It felt like eternity until the light above the door finally extinguished. Tsuna and Chrome nearly jumped from their seats as they noticed but Mukuro only showed a calm appearance as if he didn´t really care or at least didn´t worry about the outgoing. Either way the younger one had already noticed that he was worried and probably even more scared than he or Chrome were.
Than the middle aged nurse came out of the operation room They couldn´t tell anything about the outcome by observing her behaviour which made them even more nervous than they already were.
„We did everything we could. He is still unconscious but he should wake up tomorrow."
She said and Tsuna sighed in relief. All of his thoughts about stopping Mukuro if something went wrong had been unnecessary. Fortunately. A heavy weight was taken from his shoulders.
Now the small girl, who had been watching Mukuro all the time until now, spoke up.
„Would it be okay if someone stayed with him until he wakes up?"
It was obvious that she wanted a permission for Mukuro to be allowed to stay at the hospital. They wouldn´t have a calm night if he wasn´t allowed, but the nurse shook her head.
„I´m sorry, but I can´t allow any of you to stay here over night. Please come back tomorrow morning."
„Fine. Thank you."
Chrome wasn´t really pleased with that answer but she couldn´t change it. She was pretty sure the nurse would´ve changed her mind if the places were switched and the ex-prefect was the one asking for permission to stay over. Slightly annoyed she started to chew on her lower lip, thinking about another possibility.
„Will you return to Kokuyo Land until tomorrow, Mukuro?"
Tsunayoshi finally asked and broke the heavy silence, turning to keep an eye on the illusionist.
„Probably."
Mukuro said and vanished without another word, leaving behind two confused and one shocked person.
„He´ll be here tomorrow."
Chrome said while Tsuna tried to calm down the nurse who couldn´t believe that a person just disappeared into nothing more than mere mist right before her eyes.

It was as Chrome said. Mukuro appeared at the hospitals doors as soon as they opened for visitors. Since that time he had been sitting at his lovers bed for the whole morning and noon, wishing for him to wake up. He was kind of afraid that he would have to leave again this evening. He didn´t want to wait another night to see him again, hoping he´d wake up at the next day, missing him. The injured man took his time to wake up and so the illusionist used his time to gentle brush over the raven black hair. Mukuro had been sitting at his side for about 8 hours until the first movements showed the close awakening. He immediately noticed and tried to fix his appearance a little. Kyoya wouldn´t be too pleased if the first thing he noticed was Mukuros rather rundown appearance and he didn´t want him to worry.
A caring smile found its way on the blue-haireds face as the raven slowly opened his steel grey eyes, having trouble to keep them open afterwards.
„You keep me worried, principino."
The illusionist said playfully and with the usual smirk on his face. Even though his eyes showed his sorrow, he tried to pull up a smile. Finally he got his skylark back, he thought as he continued to softly caress the cloud guardians shoulder.
„A … hospital?"
The man on the bed seemed to be irritated as he examined the plain room. Obviously he didn´t knew how he got here, but this was nothing to wonder about since he had been unconscious as Mukuro found him and brought him here.
„Yes. You were hurt during the battle and I brought you here."
For this one time Mukuro wanted to be serious and not joking around, because it would be hard enough for the other one to accept his defeat. But in this instant the mist guardian noticed something confusing. Of course he could understand if Kyoya wanted to watch him for a while because he knew about his good look, but wasn´t it weird that the black haired examined him that carefully? It was merely as if …
„And … you are …?"
This was the moment Mukuro realized what had happened.
For a moment he froze, staring at the injured with unbelief, then he regained the control about his face.
"I´m … Mukuro." He answered with a rather toneless voice.
Kyoya still looked at him in this way, as if he had seen him for the first time. Mukuro had never seen this look on the ravens face, at first the cloud looked at him with anger, annoyance or arrogance and later he got some rather rare expressions on his face, including passion and love. But he never looked at him with eyes as empty as those. There were no feelings left for him and no memories.
"What is my name?" The smaller asked instead.
„Kyoya…" The illusionist answered he didn´t want to tell the smaller his surname. Not now that he didn´t know about everything that happened.
"Ah … then … this is my name?" Kyoya asked and pointed to a file lying next to his bed. In large letters the name Rokudo Kyoya was written on it.
"Yes … that´s your name." Mukuro answered, he had stopped caressing the other a while ago and his hand brushed over the other ones for a moment. Feeling the silver ring on his hand, their ring.
"Your name …" Kyoya suddenly started and Mukuros heart stopped for a moment, did he remember anything about it?
"… you don´t look japanese."
Just as he was about to feel hope, now his heart felt rather shattered.
"I´m Italian. I … just changed my name as I came here." Mukuro explained slowly.
„Ah … that makes sense."
He couldn´t bear it. It was impossible to look at the skylark knowing that he didn´t remember him after everything they went through.
„I … think I have to go now … I … will be back tomorrow, okay?" He excused himself.
"Ah … yes. Thank you for taking care."
It had been all. Mukuros hand was slightly shaking as he took the other ones a second time, holding it for a moment, until he let go and got up from his seat next to the bed.
"Try to rest … and … get well soon."
He said as he left the room. As soon as the door was closed he leaned against the wall next to it. Hiding his face into his arm, his usual playful mask had large cracks and he struggled hard to keep them from shattering his mask into tiny parts, alongside with a part of his heart he´d never confirm to have. This couldn´t be happening. He had needed five years to conquer Kyoyas heart and now he had forgotten everything they went through.
He removed his arms as he heard steps and well-known voices. They´d look after Kyoya, he thought and immediately vanished into thin air.

Mukuro wasn´t sure if it was a good thing to do as he stood at the door again on the next day. Still not sure if he wanted to enter. But then he took a breath of air, knocked and entered the room. Kyoya was alone, sitting on his bed and watching the cherry blossom trees outside. As he could hear the door he looked over and at least he seemed to recognize him. Even though there was no real sign of happiness on his face. Not that he usually showed it…
"Mukuro … why didn´t you tell me?" Kyoya asked as the other was standing next to his bed, a faint note of accusation swung in his words.
A confused look showed up on the Mukuros face.
"What are you talking about?"
Kyoya hold his hand out to him, as he opened it a small ring showed up.
"Mukuro and Kyoya." The raven said out loud and Mukuro didn´t know how to reply, he hadn´t thought about it, the fact that their names were craved into their rings.
"You didn´t tell me, that we are married."
He wasn´t angry, he didn´t even seem to be shocked, he just acknowledged it.
"I … was afraid." Mukuro admitted, it wouldn´t get him anywhere to lie for his own ego in this moment. It would confuse Kyoya even more and probably he would get angry at some point.
"Those two that were here yesterday… "
Mukuro was sure that he was talking about Tsunayoshi and Chrome who had been visiting him yesterday.
"They told me a lot of things about me, my life and things. I … asked them about you as well, but … they didn´t want to tell me much."
Mukuro didn´t know what to say about this, instead he decided to stay silent, waiting for the others reactions.
"Will you help me to remember?"
The illusionist blinked, he hadn´t expect this question, but then he gave the other a short nod.
"I will help you to remember everything once you are released from hospital." He would´ve tried it even if the smaller wouldn´t ask him to.
"Then … let´s get out of here. Show me the place we are living at…"
Kyoya seemed to ignore the fact that Mukuro worried for his health enough to overcome his dislike of hospitals, as he did ignore his condition.
„I … should talk to the doctor first…"
There it was. Kyoyas glance of annoyance, his eyes twitching a little while the grey was getting darker. Without noticing a small smile made its way on Mukuros face. Even now, deep inside this lost looking person was his Kyoya, he just had to remember the things he forgot.
"Screw the doctor." Mukuro added with a relieved smirk, getting down to carefully pull the raven on his arms and vanishing in the next moment.

"We´ll go home."
