Koshino's Appearance
Sendoh stretched in his bed languidly, and enjoyed the morning sun pouring on his windows. The phone rang somewhere, but he was too lazy to answer it. Moments later, the answering machine picked it up, and his own cheerful voice resonated inside the room.
"Hi! You've reached Sendoh Akira. I'm not home at the moment, but no, I'm not outside having sex right now nor am I on a very hot date. Please leave a message after the tone."
Beep.
"Sendoh! You baka! That's the dumbest message I've ever heard! You are such a pigheaded maniac, you hentai! Change your message!" a voice floated across the room.
Sendoh smiled; he knew to whom the voice belonged to. It was from Koshino, his best friend.
"Ehem. Anyway, I just wanted to call you up, and talk to you. But since you're not home, ill just leave a message. Hey, you know what? I really missed you, and the team too! God knows I couldn't live without Uozomi's constant yelling and your weird and perverted ideas."
Sendoh's smile grew even wider. Koshino missed him? Well, well. He must have picked something from Shoyo, the school where Koshino had transferred to. He never was affectionate, and he rarely shows his emotions, let alone say it out loud.
"Why aren't you contacting me? Betcha you and your raging hormones are way too excited to explore the hot new guys at Shohoku." Koshino's voice stopped, and sighed melodramatically. "Is that why you've been ignoring your bestfriend and leaving me in the dust?"
Sendoh chuckled. 'Koshino is such a goofball..'
What he didn't know was that he missed the tone of jealousy in Koshino's voice. (guys like him can be so dense, ne?)
"Anyway, I figured out that I should call you. I gotta tell you about Fujima."
Sendoh stood up straight when he heard the name Fujima. He didn't want this guy hanging around with his best bud. He knew that the guy was also a perverted one, although he was the discreet type. Unlike him. Koshino's voice rambled on.
"He's really, really nice. He's the most hospitable guy I know. He introduced me to everybody in the team, and toured me around campus. And, he also accompanies me every night to every single hottest place in town!.."
'Hospitable? Hospitable my ass! He's probably lusting over Koshino!' Sendoh thought, enraged. Even he couldn't deny Koshino's good looks.
'Damn that Fujima. I should teach that guy a lesson so he could take his claws off my bestfriend.'
Wait. 'Why am I so damn jealous?'
Well, Koshino had always been there for him. They helped each other through thick and thin, and shared their moments of happiness. Koshino was always the first one to congratulate him on a game, and the first one to greet him on his birthday. They weren't this close before, until that time when his parents died, and their friendship had been tested.
**FLASHBACK**
Sendoh had been watching NBA at his house as always, when the phone rang, slightly irritated for disturbing him while the Lakers was trashing the Hornets.
"Hello? What do you want?" Sendoh shouted at the phone.
"Hello? Is this Mr. Sendoh Akira? This is Dr. Fuji at the Terminal CenterHospital."
"Yes. What is it? Did something happened?" Sendoh asked frantically.
"I don't want to say this on the line, but both your father and mother are dead. Their car had been knocked over by a truck. Apparently, the driver was drunk."
Sendoh couldn't breathe. His head was spinning. How the hell did that happened? I've just talked to them a while ago.
"Mr. Akira? Are you there? Are you all right?"
"Hai, sensei.." Sendoh answered thinly.
"You're sister is here already, and I suggest that you also come down here." The line went dead. Sendoh let go of the phone, and he collapsed down. He just stared straight ahead, and slowly, tears began to fill his eyes. His tears at first was a gentle falling until he was sobbing and a cascade of tears fell. He was sobbing and gasping for breath, feeling his world halt to a complete end. Then the doorbell rang, and someone came inside.
"Sendoh! What's the score? Lakers winning?" It was Koshino.
"Hey, Sen-" Koshino stopped, and his gaze fell on the wheezing and sobbing Akira. Without thinking, Koshino scooped him gently in his arms, and just held him close.
"Th- they called me. They said that 'kaasan. they're-they're-gone! Kosh, they're gone!" What started out as gentle words became a pitiful wail.
"Shh.. It's okay Akira.. It's okay.." Koshino's voice was so gentle and so soothing.
"They promised me, Kosh, they told that they would watch me play. The game with Kainan.. They told me to shoot a three-pointer for them... I said I would do that for them, but-but why did they have to leave me? They promised!" Sendoh sobbed, soaking Koshino's shirt.
"It's going to be okay.. shh..I'm here, I wouldn't leave you."
And Sendoh sobbed and sobbed, and Koshino was just there holding him close, stroking his back and whispered calming words to him. Eventually, Sendoh fell asleep inside Koshino's embrace, and he woke up still cuddled in them.
"Kosh.." Sendoh whispered, and this awakened the other.
"Hey, you all right?" Sendoh nodded.
"Good. I'll fix us breakfast and we'll go to the hospital. Okay?"
"Okay.. Uhm, Kosh?"
"Yes?"
"Would you leave me too? Just like my parents?" Sendoh asked thinly, dreading Koshino's answer. He didn't want to go through the pain of losing someone dear to him, and he had to know. But instead of answering, Koshino went up to him, and took him in his arms again. And that's when he knew. That he'd found his very bestfriend, one that wouldn't leave him. Sendoh just allowed himself to be held, savoring Koshino's promise not to leave him..
**END FLASHBACK**
Sendoh still remembered that promise, and he didn't want some Fujima breaking that one. So, it was just rational that he was jealous, ne? He just didn't want to be left alone again. Koshino's voice was gone, signaling that the message was through already. He stood up, and took a shower. He meticulously styled his hair, and prepared his clothes. It was time to pay his best bud a visit. He locked his doors, and sunnily walked towards the station. As he was walking, he noticed a record bar having a sale. Without thinking, he went inside. He checked the cd's and saw the new album of Redhot Chili Peppers. He smiled, and picked it up. It was Koshino's favorite band. Not caring that it wasn't part of the sale, Sendoh bought it for him. That done, he went outside, and hailed a cab, giving the directions towards Shoyo High school, where Koshino was.
Sendoh was so excited to see his bestfriend that he totally forgot one redhead guy that he was supposed to meet this morning at the court, an hour AGO..
t.b.c.
