Red lights in the night It was night. A silent night. All the city was silent. Almost. The only sound that could be heard was the one of an ambulance, that was heading towards the hospital. On it there were two guys. One of them had a mask for oxigen laid on his nose and mouth. Next to him his roommate was sitting, with a worried expression on his face. Rin was thinking those words, while caressing his mate's pale face, who was lying on the stretcher and was thinking about the moments before the ambulance arrived, about what happened before. - Both of them were training and both of them were staying there beyond the training lessons, in order to have the whole pool for them. Neverthless, for the whole day, Ai had been sitting next to the radiator , which was warm enough to make him feel no-one hadn't noticed anything, perhaphs because, according to the boy's thoughs, it was right that way. He was one of the weak links of the team and no-one cares about the weak ones. The younger boy felt his senpai holding him by his shoulders, then looked at him. He smiled, as always, when he didn't want his mate to worry about something. Even if this time he had to force that smile. He didn't want the red haired one to notice it and get worried, so he slightly walked away from him, going towards the postation from which he had to dive, going up it. He didn't manage to finish the sentence. The older boy shouted, diving fastly and bringing his mate back to the surface, laying him down on the edge of the pool, trying to wake him up. He was wandering if the boy had drunk the water and, while he was moving some hairlocks away from his closed eyes, he touched his forehead. - Rin had been thinking about that, holding his head in his hands, starting to blame himself. The doctors, which were walking towards him, calling his name, brought the boy back to reality, giving him the permission to go to the partner's room , after speaking with them. He'd have waited for him to wake up. He'd have been the first person that those big blue eyes had seen as the boy opened them. He was smiling lightly, thinking about that and caressing the sleeping boy's cheeks. He pecked his forehead, holding his hand and staying by his side, until he had opened his eyes, waiting for going back swimming with him and for him, who was always there to encourage him, giving him self-esteem. He whispered those words smiling, while his cheeks were slightly red. He was happy about being able to speak them out, even if his mate was sleeping.
He was thinking these things, with his half-opened eyes and the elbows laid against his knees, when someone called him again. It was his turn to dive, but he couldn't manage to do it. Not because he was scared of it. But because he hadn't any strenght. He hadn't the strenght to get up and stay on his own feet. But Rin was there and was looking at him, a bit suspicious. Seeing that glance, Ai got up, walking towards the pool, while under the neon light his complexion, paler than usual, was noticeable.
Luckily ambulance arrived very fast, so the little silver-haired athlete was loaded on the vehicle, which started running towards the hospital.
He was slightly relieved. It was only a flu, so nothing particularly serious. Ai had had to stay there only for a week e Rin had been by his side.
The red-haired boy ran towards the other boy's room and sat down on the chair next to the bed.
