Part 2
Aizawa's mood has been blackened since morning and not dispersed at all till afternoon. His source of bad mood is none other than Shiraishi herself. Their first meet was in lift this morning. She get into lift absent-minded, her face looks distracted and grumbled at herself. More importantly she ignored him as if he wasn't there at all. Then at lunch, from other table he saw her eating like a robot, ignoring Fujikawa, not that he cares about his gibberish words, but she's just unusually silent. Shiraishi's distress affected him badly. She may act as usual in others present and doing her work diligently, but she can't fool him. What make him angry more was when he was snapped at the fellows and she defended them accused him have rude manner.
He let out a heavy sigh; he couldn't finish his report in staff station, he needs to go somewhere silent. He piles up his laptop and papers then carrying it to medical office, hoping no one is there. He feels disappointed when found Hiyama there sitting alone in her chair. It's too late to make a U-turn, the door already closed. If he goes out again, he will make her suspicious. So, here he's walking toward his desk, trying to type his report seriously.
After typing few sentences, he feels chilled as if someone watching at him intensely. He glanced at Hiyama, she stared at him daydreaming then big grins showed on her face, which makes him shivering. What the hell is she thinking? Is there something wrong with her too? What the hell is wrong with this day? He rolled his eyes then back to his laptop, trying to resume his report.
"What is…" "You know what…" they both talk at the same time.
"I am talking first! I know what you want to say; what is it? What is going on? Right?" she said proudly.
He's not interested in her rambling, ignoring her, he continue typing his report.
"Say, what you think about Shiraishi?" she asked.
"Nothing." He said curtly, typing his report uninterested at her question.
"Do you have any interest toward Shiraishi?" she asked again.
"That's not your business." He said it with a little bit tension in his voice, he shakes his head from side to side.
"Hmmm…" she hummed. What the hell is wrong with her?
"If Shiraishi have a problem, do you want to help her?" she asked
He stopped his typing. Is something bad happened to her? What happen with her? Is that why she is acting strange all this day? All kinds of questions jumbled at his brain. He wants to know what happened with her. He is waiting Hiyama to give him more informations. But she don't say anything, confused he looked at her, there she's grinning widely, shamelessly. "Just spill it!" his patience evaporated.
"I see… Finally, I can attract your attention." She said satisfied.
He didn't say anything.
"I assume you sense her distress too, right?" she said, when he don't say anything she continued. "You see, her mother called last night. Her relatives want her to get married because her other cousins already married at her age, her aunt suggested omai and already chooses several candidates. Married is not her priority right now but worried that her mother will be pressured. So, that's why she feels distressed and confused what she will do."
At the words married and omai, his mind went blank; he can't hear what Hiyama is saying afterward. She will marry. Of course she will marry, she would never stay single forever, wouldn't she? She will marry someone. He feels a pang in his heart. What will he do then?
"Aizawa…" wake up from his trance, he heard Hiyama called his name, then blinking rapidly. His mood couldn't be more blackened than this, could he? He cursed inside his mind.
"You're shocked, aren't you?" he glancing at her, there she is grinning widely again. Is this funny for her? Is this what she thought a few moments ago while staring at him? He stared fiercely at her.
"Whoaaa… easy surgeon, your stare were like scalpel ready to mince my brain." She said it amused.
"It's not funny." He said it harshly.
"Of course it's not funny. Shiraishi's problem I mean. But your face really worth an award." she said it playfully.
He stared at her deathly.
"Okay, I am giving up!" raising her both hands, "I can't defeat you at deathly staring contest."
He snorted.
"Okay, I am serious now. Can you help her? That is if you're interested at her thought." She said it unsure.
He stared at her, raising his right brow questioningly.
"You know her relatives only know that she's a single woman," he didn't say anything, "What if they hear that actually Shiraishi have secret boyfriend, will they changed their mind?"
He stared blankly at his laptop screen. Did she really have secret boyfriend somewhere? Is that why she is not interested to any man in hospital? Then he sees Hiyama's hand shaking back and forth. He blinking his eyes then slapping her hand from his face.
"No she is not. I am say it 'if', you know her so well that it's impossible, she's not a romantic type." She told him accusingly, "This kind of conversation is too hard for your heart huh? You already in cardiac arrest twice! Should I get you defibrillator from emergency room?" she smiled satisfied.
He glared at her.
"What I want to say is, if you're interested at her, how about you become her boyfriend?" she asked at him expectantly.
"We're not your plaything." He answered her curtly.
"Well how about telling her this idea first? Then if she is agree then…"
"I am agreed about what?" Shiraishi walked to her desk, a laptop in her hand and looking at them expectantly.
"What I want to say is if you..."
He cleared his throat.
Hiyama staring at him as if saying 'what?'
He is looking at his laptop's screen resuming his abandoned report, acted as if nothing happened.
"What is it with both of you?" She stared at us.
Suddenly, Hiyama running towards Shiraishi's side and telling her, that if she wants to date him, her problem will be solved. Her aunt will not pressuring her or her mother about marriage again knowing that she's already have boyfriend.
Shiraishi stared at Hiyama stunned.
Hiyama looking at us back and forth.
Shiraishi keeps silent. Did she want him to help? If she keeps her silent, it will be going on all night.
He cleared his throat again, both women looking at him.
"If you agreed at her idea and want me to help then, I'll help you." He said it curtly.
Hiyama looked at her expectantly.
Shiraishi looked at us back and forth, "Al-alright." Shiraishi said it nervously.
Hiyama clapping her hands and grinning widely at both of us. "Alright then, we have Shiraishi's problem solved. Now, it's my time to leave, I have a date with Ogata san. Shiraishi, you don't need to wait for me." Just like that she's going out without looking back at us.
Then the medical office back to silent mode.
He looked at her; she's busying herself in her desk not looking at him at all. This is awkward, what should he say to her? At that moment Fujikawa coming in whistling cheerfully.
"Eh, are you both wanted to stay tonight?" He asked us expectantly.
He stands up from his chair putting his laptop and papers into his bag, "I am not, I can't concentrate typing my report since this morning and I'll take it home." He sensed Shiraishi's eyes on him.
"Uh okay, Shiraishi are you staying?" He looked at her hopefully.
"Eh..." she said unsure.
"Shiraishi, you were sayingthat you want to call your mother at home." He raised his eyebrow at her.
She looked at him and then tidying her desk, "Ah, yes... I am sorry Fujikawa, I had promised her will be calling her back after my shift end."
"Oh okay then. Hope there is no emergency case tonight." He looked at us smiling.
Then we were scurrying out from medical office.
a/n All Aizawa's POV, it's really hard to write him. Like Hiyama's character more because she's the playful type :D That's it, hope you like it; I am going to chapter 3
