Chapter 2
The night sky was dark, like a black canvas with tiny splotches of glittery white paint on it. The moon was glistering at its most powerful. It was a beautiful full moon night, and it was still 10 at night. Ai sat on her bed, staring out the window with her eyes captured by the beauty of nature. She stood up and approached the window, her hands touching the frosty glass. She sighed loudly and drew a heart on the smog of which her breath made on the glass. She stared at it for a short while and made a zigzag in the middle of the heart. Her eyes were shimmering in the stunning night sight she sees. She erased the drawing with her hand and turned away from the window. Her room was dark, since all she has is a tiny desk lamp, and it's turned off. What Black Jack doesn't know is that Ai also was having troubles sleeping. She can't stop thinking about him, wondering how to make him feel better. Ever since the news reached him, He's been so aggressive and stressed. Ai got called names so much for the past few days by the stressed doctor, but she barely paid attention to them. She knew that he was stressed, so she knew he didn't mean it. Part of the ignorance was also because she was too concentrated on his face. If his heart worsened or got better, the first thing that would change was his attitude and his facial expressions. Ai plopped back on the bed, lying down with her blanket only covering up to her knees. She stared at the fluorescent light attached on her ceiling with her right hand limply resting on top of her forehead.
"I need to talk to him." She whispered to herself. Ai has tried talking to him for the past few days, but all he did was call her names and tell her that she's annoying. But all she wanted was to know whether or not he's okay. She immediately sat up, banging on her knees like the way Black Jack did. She can't stand it anymore. She needs to tell him what's really going on in her mind. Even though he's not hearing her, it would be enough. And at that thought, she stood up and headed to her room door. She paused, hesitated on what she was going to do. But it was for her own mental being. She grabbed the door knob and turned it.
His room was darker that Ai's. His window being smaller that Ai's can be the cause of that. His desk was messy, cluttered with unfiled medical records and research papers. She sighed, relieved that the doctor seems to be sleeping with no problems. She sat on his chair and felt warmth on the cushion. She then knew that the doctor only fell asleep recently. She glanced at the doctor's tired, but relaxed face and gently touched his forehead. She moved her hand slightly and felt his smooth, messy two-toned hair. She blushed a little after that, surprised that it was smoother than she expected. She sighed one more time and opened her mouth.
"Kuroo-kun… I'm sorry if I acted annoying or bratty." She started, whispering as quiet as she can. "That patient wasn't dead because of you. He was drunk. I was able to tell that he wanted to drink when he left the hospital. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you. I wanted to, and I tried. But you didn't listen." She paused after that, turning her glance to the small window. Her hands was resting on the wooden armrest, both gripping it tightly.
"I…I… Had nightmares." She finally whispered after a long, awkward silence. "I… wasn't able to sleep properly for the past few days. The thought of you in so much pain left me wondering what I can do. Please, tell me what's been bothering you… I know it's not just the patient." She whispered, realizing that her voice kept getting louder. She paused to adjust her volume, just enough time to make her realize that this is not getting her anywhere. She opened her mouth, but didn't make a sound. The next sound heard in the room was the sound of tiny drops of water tapping against an empty piece of paper on the desk and sobs that resemble the ones Black Jack made when he discovered that his mother had gone up to heaven.
She wiped her wet face with her sleeves and stood up. She headed for the door, tiptoeing all the way to the front of the door. She paused, her hands on the knob but not yet turned. She drew her breath and opened her mouth for the last time that night. "Kuroo-kun… Remember why I'm here. Solve the mystery that has been bothering you." She said, opening the door and closing it behind her. Little did she know that what she said had changed something important, nor did she know that the sleeping beauty inside the dark room wasn't sleeping at all.
R&R as I (try to) do my homework at the speed of light (not really THAT fast -.-'')!!
