CHAPTER ONE

~KAGAMI~

"I'm sorry, but who are you?"

I could feel my entire world crashing over me, I felt like my heart just got run over by a truck. I put my hand on his shoulder,

"Tetsu, it's me..Kagami. I'm, I'm your boyfriend"

Tetsu looked up at me with wide and bewildered eyes. His sat there silent for a moment before whispering,

"What?"

Suddenly he pushed me away, hard, causing me to stumble backwards, bumping me into the wall.

"Tetsu.."

"Don't call me that! I don't know you, you don't have the right to call me that!" Tetsu yelled at me, his eyes filled with anger.

I opened my mouth to say something when the door to the hospital room opened. Nurses came into the room followed by a doctor in a white suit.

"Ah I see that Kuroko is now awake. Ka-Kagami, why are you crying?" Midorima asked, a stethescope hanging from his neck and and his eyes showing worry behind his full framed glasses.

"Tets- I mean, Kuroko, he doesn't remember who I am" I said, not wanting to believe it. Midorima didn't look surprised, only concerned. He walked over and placed a hand on my shoulder,

"Go wait outside Kagami. I'll take it from here."

I nodded solemnly and dragged my feet to the door, shutting it slowly and standing in the hallway for a good 10 minutes before getting a canned coffee from the vending machine and sitting in the waiting room.

I held the coffee in between my hands, the cold seeping into my skin, making me feel even number than I already was. I was still in disbelief,

He doesn't know who I am.

I bit my lip to stop myself from crying, trying to think of something else. How everyone at work would be wondering where I was, how I haven't fed the dog yet, how there was a really good sale at my favourite store down town. But the only thing that came to my mind was the last thing Tetsu said before leaving for work this morning. Before getting hit by that fucking drunk driver. Before he forgot who I was.

He had his suit on and was fixing his tie in the mirror. I had already offered to drive him, but he said today was too beautiful of a day to not walk to work. I watched him as he put on his shoes and grabbed his briefcase. I thought he would just go because we had already said our goodbyes after breakfast. But then, he turned to me, with his shining blue eyes and adoring smile, just to say,

"I love you Kagami-kun. Don't ever forget that"

~Kagami~

I felt someone shake my shoulder wildly as I woke up with a start, my eyes sticky from crying and my back cramped from lying down on the metal chairs.

"Kagami, wake-up"

I was greeted with a harsh look, tanned skin, and dark blue hair. Aomine.

"Aomine, what are you doing here? Where's Momoi-san?"

The chair creaked as Aomine sat down, "She's at home taking care of the kids. She told me I should come over to see how you're doing"

I paused before whispering quietly, "….You know?"

He put his arm around me and said, "Yeah, I'm sorry bro. Satsuki got a call from the doctor, apparently the last thing Tetsu remembers is breaking up with Satsuki, but he can't seem to recall why"

It's because he met me.

I could feel the tears welling up again, threatening to spill out, when Aomine slapped me on the back. Hard.

"What the fuck was that for?!" I yelled at him, earning a few hushes and glares from nurses and patients.

"It's so you stop crying, Baka. Stop thinking you're so alone. If Tetsu only remembers up to his break-up with Satsuki, then he won't remeber me either" Aomine said, his eyes hard, yet behind them you could sense his sadness.

We sat next to each other for quite some time, not talking, just enjoying each other's company. After a while, I put my hand on his knee and said quietly,

"Thanks."

Aomine just smiled and nodded. When Momoi first introduced him to me and Kuroko, we didn't understand what she saw in him. He was annoying and loud and self-absorbed. But over time we got to know Aomine. Him and Kuroko got really close, now we usually get together all the time, just the four of us.

I was snapped out of my daydream when Midorima came walking towards me in a black polo shirt, and pulled up a chair to sit in front of me.

"Kagami, I have good news and bad news."

Aomine leaned closer to me and whispered in my ear, "Who is this?"

"Oh, Aomine, this is Midorima Shintarou, he was my roommate in college, he's also the doctor that's been taking care of Kuroko since the-" I bit my lip before finishing "accident"

Midorima and Aomine shook hands, before Midorima began again,

"The good news is, all of his parts are intact. Only a few bruises and scratches here and there, it's a miracle considering at how fast the speed of the car was when it hit him-" He paused, as if debating whether or not to continue, "But it appears he's lost about a year of his memories. And there's chance he may never get them back."

~Kuroko~

A loud knock on the door startled me from my aimless daydreaming. The door creaked opened and the head of a small nurse with dark hair popped out from behind the door.

"Your brother is here to see you. He-"

She was cut short by a figure that appeared behind her and pushed the door open. I could hear him say softly to the nurse,

"Thank you. I can take it from here"

I heard her giggle, and rolled my eyes. Onii-san has always been liked by many girls, even though I think that red hair of his draws too much attention. He stepped in the room and nodded to someone outside, probably another girl, before shutting the door.

"Onii-san" I said, smiling at him when he came over to give me a hug.

"Oh? You know you usually call me Akashi, ever since you started dating Kaga- um, never mind." He said, smiling awkwardly before sitting at the edge of my bed.

"How are you Tetsuya? I heard from the doctor, you lost a year of your life. How does it feel?" Onii-san asked, shrugging off his black suit and folding it in his arms.

I groaned loudly, "Must you be so straight forward? Is it so difficult to be just a little bit more sensitive?"

He chuckled, "I'm sorry, Otouto. But seriously, how are you doing?"

I wasn't sure how to answer his question. If I said I was fine, that was a lie. I just lost a huge chunk of my life. But if I said I wasn't fine, that didn't quite fit either, it's not like I felt upset that I lost my memories, how can I be upset if I don't even know what they are?

"I'm alright, I guess." I answered after a while,

"Did something happen?" He asked, his eyes worried and gentle.

"Onii-san, am I gay?" I asked abruptly, immediately regretting it after the words had left my lips.

His eyes widened in surprise for just a second before returning to their calm collected state. He looked at me intently, as if trying to see inside of me, before answering,

"Would it bother you if you were?"

I thought for a while, surprised by his answer. "No, no I guess not"

"Then yes, you are gay"

I know I said I was okay with it, but now that Onii-san had confirmed it, I couldn't help but panic.

"And that….Kagami-"

"You say his name like it's a bad word, Tetsuya"

"Onii-san would too if you saw the way he just blurted out that I'm supposedly his boyfriend. I mean, I don't mind being gay, but there's no way that I'd like someone like him. He seems loud and obnoxious"

I heard Onii-san chuckle and flicked his hand several times, signalling me to continue.

"I mean, that red hair of his, it's almost as bad as your hair ("Hey!") And the way he looked at me-" I slowed down, remembering the way he had looked at me when I first woke up.

His hair was a mess and his eyes red and puffy, as if he had been crying. But the moment i looked at him, his eyes lit up like Christmas, and his smile felt like it filled the entire room. His eyes showed relief, happiness, concern, and…..love.

"-He looked at me like I was the only thing that mattered on earth. Like his sole purpose in life was to wait for me to open my eyes." I finished, the rage that I had before washing away when I remembered the man's face.

There was a long silence before Onii-san spoke, "He did you know, wait. He waited for you to wake up ever since you got into that coma. Everyone tried to get him to go home, but you know Kaga- well I guess you don't know. The point is Tetsuya, that man loves you very much"

I chewed the inside of my lip, before slowly asking, "Did I…?"

Onii-san smiled, a gentle smile like a warm summer breeze in the afternoon.

"Yes you did. You loved him. Very very much."
