Hiruma look around and open the door knob, looking at the sleeping figure on the bed whilst the Doctor padded softly behind him, "When is she going to be out?" He ask, blowing out a bubble gum, "I still don't know."
He nodded before letting him check her up, her blood pressure and whatever as he sit down on the chair next to her bed, reaching out and holding her limp hands on his as the Doctor finishes whatever exam he was doing and nod at him before leaving, he took that moment to stand up from his chair and position himself next to her, reaching down to touch gold locks as he stare at her,
"Hello, Melody." He says, hands starting to brush, "Today the idiots on the team learned about you and for some reason, the shitty manager wanted to learn more about you, weird, right?" He told her but she made no move or twitch at all. He continued brushing her hair for a good ten minutes, just staring intently at his fiance before he finds himself cursing again and leaving the room without so much as a kiss to her.
"Hiruma." He looks up as he closes the knob, seeing the fricking Old Man standing in front of him before stealing a sideway glance to the Door where Melody is,
"What are you doing here, you shitty old man?"
"Visiting my Old man, what else? How 'bout Melody?" He asks, turning at the door behind Hiruma who just shrugged, "Unconscious."
"Still?" He murmured to himself before looking at Hiruma once again, "I heard from Melody, that she's getting worse this day," He said and Hiruma's eyebrow just rose up, "Can you do something about it?" He ask and Musashi look away, Melody has always been a sensitive subject, even from before, all the more is her sickness,
And just like earlier, even with his loud outburst, he knows that Hiruma is worried about something, "What's bothering you?"
…worried enough to fall asleep, worried enough to skip practice and do the game plan instead, after all Hiruma would never slack in practice, Melody wouldn't wish him to do that either, "What do you mean, Old man?"
"There's something clearly bugging you." He says before resting his back on the wall as Hiruma let out a tsk and reply, "It's nothing…"
"It's about Melody right?" He crosses his arm and turn at Hiruma once again, "How many years, Hiruma? How many years left?"
Hiruma didn't reply, just stare at him, he open his mouth but then closes it again "Mind your own business." He finally said and a quiet silence engulf them,
"Ah. Hiruma-kun,"
They both turn around and saw another one of Melody's doctor walking to them and Hiruma follows him without saying goodbye to Musashi as they discussed the results of her exam,
"Her blood rate was still low, Hiruma-kun, it really is-impossible for her to take the surgery. Her body was so weakened and we might even put her in grave danger if we do this recklessly." Hiruma let out a tsk, listening quietly,
"Meldy-sama's case is an extremely rare one. As you already know, we cannot do the surgery for her, her heart is too ...different."
Melody's heart has taken up an irregular form, if you imagine how a heart usually looks like, hers is different, there is also a hole in her heart and they says Melody is too weak for surgery... So she's going to die,
"But she was stable for now, we've been monitoring her lately and-"
"You're just repeating what you told me last month, shitty Doctor." He cuts off and the Doctor just smile , "Melody-sama' case is an extremely rare one. We need to examine her carefully. She's alone on this one."
He looks up at that, alone...?
"She's not alone." He says, "At least not when I'm here." He said, turning his back from him and gliding through the door before he walks out meeting one of the female nurse outside, "Hey, you. The shitty nurse standing over there." The nurse immediately walk over, long used to Hiruma's behaviour and attitude,
"I can put whatever I like in her room, right?"
"Yes. Of course, it's a private room." The Nurse replied and he nodded, walking out of the room and going to the nearest store to buy origami papers, cutting and then cutting. He doesn't know what they mean when they say that Melody's heart has taken an irregular shape. It might be a bit crooked on the side or with less arch at the top, or there's something a crack on the lower side,
Even so-he refuse to let her be alone.
When he finishes, Hiruma look up at the wall and grin, now atop her bed, the wall was, now decorated with irregular heart shape, it's weird and of them had the shape of a proper heart, but maybe this will help, that perhaps when Melody wakes up and learn about her condition, she would not feel alone.
XXXXXX
"Good morning, Hiruma-kun!"
Hiruma flinched and look away, "Morning, where are the Brats?" He ask, looking around the field, "Did you visit Melody-san yesterday?"' Hiruma let out a long drawled sigh, "Tell me where the brats are." He said and the damn manager just smile, "Field. They're practicing already. Moreover, did you visit Melody-san yesterday?"
Hiruma let out an angry tsk as she repeated her question, "Don't tell me we're still having this conversation?" He asks, he does't like talking about her too much, especially the way is she now.
Mamori just look away, she just wanted to know more about Melody, "But Melody-san is sick right?" He raises his eyebrow, how in the world did she know that?
"How did you know?" He asks, "I ask Kurita-kun," He sighed again, why is this woman digging around for information about his fiancé? And why is that freaking pork giving information? Maybe he'l let him go this once, no shit, of course, he'll double his practice and make Cerberus ran after him today!
"Why are you going around, looking for information about my fiancé, shitty manager?" He asks and she smile, "It's because I wanted to meet her, this Melody-san." She said, walking alongside him and he sigh, "I'm tired so will you shut up?" He said, walking inside the clubroom, Mamori following shortly as he put down his bag and knocking at the white board on the clubroom, "Just study this one, idiot." He says, walking into the locker room,
"But it must be lonely being in a hospital alone." Hiruma stop in his track, she's right... Melody might be getting lonely with his company,
"I see." He murmured, "When she regained consciousness, I'll make time for you." He says, he's planning to introduce Melody to the brats but this thing happen and that plan got postpone so he never had time for it. And the game with Shinryuuji is coming too.
"But if you really wanted, you can come with me before practice." Her eyes widen… she's going with Hiruma...to meet Melody.
The trip to the Hospital was extremely short, it was just a few walking distance and as soon as they arrive, Hiruma looks as if he hated going to this place, like he wanted to bolt out of the place as soon as he take a step inside.
They stop at One Room, with no name on the door or whatsoever, "Is this her room?" Hiruma nodded, twisting the door knob and he step in,
Mamori's eyes widen when she saw her, sleeping on the bed, she was certainly beautiful... More beautiful than the picture, her complexion was pale, almost like dry ice, hair like silken gold thread and her lips was like cherry blossoms,
The second thing she notices was the hearts atop her bed, pasted so scrawlingly, but none of them had the perfect shape, they are defected, one way or another- "This is-?" she ask, touching one of them,
"Her heart." Hiruma replied, "That's the shape of her heart. Don't touch it." He says and Mamori frown, not getting what he meant before she nodded, withdrawing her hand away from the wall and looking down at the sleeping woman in the bed, "Meet Melody, my Fiancé." Hiruma said from behind her, "Forgive her if she's not able to make greeting."
She stares again.
Breath getting caught up in her throat when she murmured, "She's beautiful." Hiruma did not answer but he nodded, accepting that fact.
"Can I touch her?" Mamori ask and Hiruma stare at her for a while before he nodded again, allowing Mamori to take strands of her golden hair in her hands, touching it so carefully when she saw the chain hanging around her, a chain with a ring on it,
Youichi to Melody
Their engagement ring, she thought. Smiling a soft smile , she swallowed the feeling of envy as she gazed down at Melody once again, she's so lucky… To have that ring, to have Hiruma-kun..
Then suddenly, Melody just started wheezing out blood in her bed and coughing uncontrollably, "H-Hiruma-kun…" She said, turning at her side and seeing Hiruma dashing at her immediately,
"Melody!" He immediately runs to her side, turning her over, "Damn Manager! Go and call the Doctor!" He shouted, grabbing a hand towel and putting it on her mouth, "NOW!"
"Y-Yes!" Mamori replied, running out of the room, her heart pounding inside her chest, why is he able to do that? Why is he making that kind of face for her?
This Hiruma in front of Melody, she doesn't recognize it...
Mamori thinks she knows Hiruma.
She is his classmate for two years even before the Deimon Devil Bats, and being the manager, she has been able to be around him for more time. Mamori haven't seen him hurt, maybe at that time when they lose to Seibu, but it was different, that was frustration. She knows what is behind today's poker face.
But today, today was different. Today there was pure fear, the fear of losing something very important, losing someone...
By the time she came back, Hiruma was kissing her, "Hiruma-kun..?" He turns at her and spit some blood from his mouth to the floor, "About time you arrived" He angrily shouted, kissing her again before sucking and spitting out blood. He repeated this a number of times before the blonde seems to settle down.
"What's...happening?" she ask
"She's wheezing out blood and its building up in her throat, she can't breathe." He said, looking down at her and turning at the Doctor, "What's happening here?!" He angrily asks, kicking the nearest chair nearby and glaring at the Doctor. "Check her and tell me what's wrong in a minute, you shitty Doctor!"
The Doctor immediately scampered over, pulling out a stethoscope and checking her when she hiss again which immediately made the doctor receive an eyeful of glare from Hiruma, "How 'bout painkillers?"
"Any more of that, and she won't be able to take it," He replies and Hiruma only shoves him out to the side, tangling his long fingers on her and looking down at Melody before he spoke again, "You shitty Doctor." he called, turning his head, "Make sure my woman doesn't got hurt-emotionally, physically or mentally or else I'm going to kill you." He sneered before pulling his hands out and motioning at Mamori to follow as he stride over the door,
"What's wrong?" Mamori ask, turning into a small stop as both of them were front of the door "Let's go." Hiruma says,
"Where?"
"Practice, where else?" He asks, looking back at her, "But Melody-san..." She murmured, turning back at the bed where she can see the doctor injecting something on Melody's arm, "You're damn heartless, aren't you shitty manager?" Hiruma ask seriously,
"Eh?"
"You're really going to make me watch Melody wheezing out in pain?"
WAH! I am so sorry! How many months has it been? m(_ _;;m
(シ_ _)シ I ask for forgiveness (シ_ _)シ
So I'm planning to continue this story O(≧▽≦)O
