(Later that night)
Sakuragi slowly entered Kobayashi's room with his tray. Ever since his conversation with her, he made sure that he was calm, and did not make any tactless remarks about her blindness.
Ikuko heard the door creak, and guessed it was Sakuragi, for not only was the different scent of the food a clue, the sound of the creak was not the usual sound Nurse Aki used to make. In any case, Nurse Aki had sent her dinner to her already.
"Konbawa (Good evening), Sakuragi-kun!" greeted Ikuko.
Sakuragi stood at the door, with an extremely confused expression on his face.
"H… How did you know it was me?"
"Sakuragi-kun, I may be blind but my other senses are still working in perfectly good order." Ikuko said, a grin spreading on her face.
"I see…" a sheepish blush creeping up on Sakuragi.
The two then had a companionable dinner, talking about everything under the sun.
Sakuragi talked about his life, how he first entered the basketball club, the trials he had to face and how they had won against Sannoh High, which also resulted in his injured back.
Ikuko talked about her life, how she was not born blind, but by a car accident, was left blind, and kinless by the age of twelve. She supported herself by being a teacher in Braille at a special school, and not only earned her keep there, but was pursuing her own education as well. She was in the hospital, to check the condition of her eyes, as well as her ankle, for she had been rudely bumped into while walking on the street. She took the same exam questions as other students, but her media of communication would be Braille or orally. It had been hard, for she had to try and stand on her two feet. But she was happy.
The two soon became fast friends.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ever since Sakuragi had had dinner with Ikuko, the two were inseparable.
Daily, in the mornings, Sakuragi would guide Ikuko to the park or beach, where the two would sit and talk, and he would describe the scenery around him to her before having lunch together.
In the early afternoon, Ikuko would get her eye and ankle check ups, and Sakuragi would wait for her. In the late afternoon, would be Sakuragi's turn to receive his treatment, and Ikuko would be there, encouraging and supporting him. Nurse Aki had kindly arranged for that for their convenience, seeing that they got along so well, and that left her to do other things that her job required her to do.
During the evening, they would have dinner, with more chatter about any topic, or just watching TV, whilst having their meal. When it was time for bed, Sakuragi would 'tuck' Ikuko in, and make sure she was asleep before returning to his own room to plop onto his bed and sleep. (L.I.D.[author]: Awww! Kawaii!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mitsui was feeling very frustrated as the days went by. There was no one to tease on the team except Miyagi, and it was getting stale. He had teased Miyagi countless times on his infatuation with their manager, and it was his only way of distracting himself from initiating thoughts about the Vice Captain. Kogure didn't look the type to be gay, and was very friendly, and was popular with everyone. What chance would he have with such a wonderful person? Mitsui was counting the days when he would finally pluck up the courage to tell Kogure how he felt. Not today, however.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kogure was trying his best not to look, or rather stare at Mitsui too much, in case anyone noticed. But whenever he looked at Mitsui, he would either be deep in concentration playing, or teasing Miyagi about Ayako. Mitsui never looked at him, even once. He didn't want to spoil the friendship between Mitsui and himself, but he was aching to tell Mitsui how he felt, and be in his arms. But it was wishful thinking, Kogure thought. Mitsui was a former MVP, and was making progress to be a PRESENT MVP. What chance would he have with such a wonderful person? Kogure was sure he'd bare his feelings to Mitsui one day… Not today, however.
