Kurosaki stood still for a minute. His hands hands balled into fists ans knuckles were so white it was a wonder that he didn't break any bones. His blond hair covered his eyes so neither Riko, nor Teru could tell what he was thinking or feeling.
"Kurosaki..." Riko began, but was cut off by Kurosaki.
"What did you say? You are just messing with me right?" He now looked up, Teru and Riko could both tell he was panicking.
"I have breast cancer." Teru repeated.
Kurosaki surprised both of the girls by embracing Teru. Riko could tell that this was a moment that should not be interrupted so she quietly slipped out the door with her cell phone to inform the others of the situation.
Back in the apartment Kurosaki was hugging Teru so tightly that Teru thought she might be smothered then she hear it.
A small noise coming from the shaking Kurosaki.
"...Kurosaki...Are you...are you crying?" Teru asked.
Kurosaki didn't answer, just stood hugging Teru and sobbing quietly.
"I'm sorry." Kurosaki said, pulling away,"I should be stronger."
"Kurosaki you don't have to worry about me, I will make it." Teru said, smiling as much as she could.
Kurosaki could see right through her, but instead of pointing it out he decided to play along. He looked at Teru and smiled. It wasn't a real smile though. Inside Kurosaki was breaking down, but he knew right now he had to be strong for Teru. If he broke down he knew that it would only make Teru feel worse so for her sake he held it together.
"Will you come with me to my appointment on Monday?" Teru asked,"Riko will be away for work so I will have to go alone if you don't go with me."
"Of course I will." Kurosaki answered.
Kurosaki spent the rest of the night on the couch in Riko and Terus apartment, and for once Riko didn't make a single joke. She knew that having Kurosaki in the apartment made Tery feel better and safer, and as long as Teru was happy, so were Riko and Kurosaki.
