~Chapter 3~
When they reached the school, Ken prepared to bolt.
"Hidaka."
"H-hai?"
"Soccer ball."
"Eh?"
"Give me your soccer ball."
"Eeeeh?! How'd you know that I had it?!"
"Well, seeing that you've brought it to school every day for the past couple of weeks, I would think that you had one in your bag right now."
"But why?"
"I'll end up confiscate it anyways for breaking something on my desk. I'm just doing it early today. I don't want to have to hold your ball in the class room during class time and I don't want you breaking something if I can help it."
Ken pouted but tossed it to Crawford before hurrying to his class.
~*~*~*~*
Ken sighed happily as he changed into swimming trunks. PE, his most favorite class despite the fact that the gym teacher seemed somewhat lecherous. He exited the changing room and his jaw dropped.
"Crawford-sensei?! What're you doing here?!"
"Your teacher's sick today, so I'm subbing. He wants you to 17 laps. And if any one of you gets chlorinated water on my suit, you'll pay."
Ken grinned. "Just change into something more comfortable, Crawford-sensei!"
Ken shut up when he saw Crawford's glare. Ken sighed and took off his t-shirt.
Crawford tried to avert his eyes... *God, he's beautiful...*
Ken sighed but started to swim. His eyes widened underwater as he felt a cramp hit him. He started splashing at the deep end, gasping.
"Taskete..." Crawford, seeing Ken's arms flailing, stood quickly, alarmed.
"Hidaka!"
"Don't worry, Crawford-sensei! Hidaka does this to every sub. You don't need to worry."
Crawford nodded. He continued to watch Ken, though. He watched as Ken's movements slowed and sighed.
Then, he noticed that Ken had been under for a few minutes now. He took off his jacket and dove in. He pulled Ken out of the pull and felt him for a pulse.
"He has a pulse, but it's weak. Everyone, get dressed and go to class... and someone call the hospital!"
Crawford growled angrily as he tipped Ken's head back. *Baka! You shouldn't have listened to his friends... you should have jumped in when you planned to!*
~*~*~*~*
Ken woke up in a white room. The last thing he remembered was feeling suffocated and cold... He sat up, groaning. Everything hurt... He was surprised to see Omi asleep at the foot of his bed.
"Omittchi...?" Ken gasped in pain. Talking hurt so much... Hell, BREATHING hurt! Omi sat up quickly upon hearing his name, staring at Ken with bleary eyes.
"Ken-kun! You're awake!"
Ken nodded, whispering, "What happened?"
"You almost drowned, Ken-kun! Crawford-sensei saved you and did CPR!"
Ken's face flared. *CPR?! He did CPR on me?!*
Omi had just run out and he returned with Nagi, Ran, Yohji, Schuldich and Crawford. Ken stared. What was Schuldich and Nagi doing there? Crawford he understood, since Crawford was now responsible for him in a sense, but... Ken shrugged to himself. Nagi was probably here because of Omi (he blushed when he remembered what he had 'seen' before) but Schuldich...? Well, Ran and Yohji had said that Schuldich was Crawford's best friend...
He gave them a tentative smile but received only a glare from Ran, Yohji and Crawford while he just got bored looks from Nagi and Schuldich.
"You idiot! You worried us so much!" Yohji wrapped Ken in a hug while Ran just stood there, still glaring. Ken let out a pained gasp and weakly tried to shove Yohji away.
"Baka, you're hurting him." Hearing Ran's angry comment, Yohji quickly let go.
Ran said gently, "Ken, how do you feel?"
Ken motioned towards his neck, and managed to choke out, "Hurts..."
Ran nodded, saying, "Does it hurt anywhere else?"
Ken nodded. "Everywhere..."
Crawford stepped forward, saying, "Try not to talk. You sound horrible and the doctor said that you shouldn't try to use your voice too much for a day or so."
Ken nodded, frowning lightly. He didn't sound that bad when he talked, did he? Ran suddenly stepped forward and handed him a box.
"From your loyal fans... Including my sister."
Ken grinned at the slight distaste he heard in Ran's voice. He knew that although Ran didn't like the fact that Aya was obsessed with him, Ran thought that it was better that Aya be obsessed with Ken than anyone else. Because unlike other high school guys, sex wasn't the first thing on Ken's mind. (Soccer was)
Ken rasped out, "Can.... I go.... home?"
Crawford nodded.
Omi cried out, "You can't go home yet! You're too sick! What do doctors know about your health?!"
Everyone gave Omi a 'LOOK.' That was a very uncharacteristic question from Omi. Omi pouted.
"Daaatteee! Ken-kun's so sick!"
Ran muttered, "He'll stay a few more days," and left. Everyone sighed. Ran was a high school student but...
Crawford glanced at Ken before nodding in agreement.
TBC...
I'M REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY SORRY! My life sucks right now... especially because of chemistry. this other school, their HONORS CLASS, is doing something called significant figures right now... WE, the GENERAL class at MY school, did that like a whole month ago! *sob*
