Who Love Who

Chapter 4

"Now, let's try to put this solution up to the blood smear glass. See what will happen. Work with your partner and note what happen at your paper." That was the chemistry teacher. She, together with Daisuke's class is now in the Chemistry Laboratory, doing some experiment. She had paired each student with another and they were now told to work together. For your note, Daisuke got Takashi Saehara as his partner. They both sat on the same table, facing various equipment placed to help them during the experiment.

"I have to go now, don't forget to collect the paper and put it on my desk. I trust you all so please work properly." She said to the head boy of Daisuke's class, smiling then left the class in sudden.

Daisuke himself was not really listening to what the teacher said before. This time, not because of another daydreaming he usually drawn into, but merely because his head feels dizzy and it really troubling him to concentrate. So, he only laid his head on the table and covers his face with both his arms. Sometimes he coughed and it sounds painfully dry. In short, he seems had caught a sore throat. Addition, a bad one since his body seems starting to gain degrees.

"Niwa, are you alright?" Saehara asked, looking at his partner lying hopelessly.

"Yes." Daisuke answered. And his voice is badly croaked. "Sorry, my head is a bit dizzy." Daisuke lifted up his head and tried to reach his pen and paper.

"I'll do the experiment, you only need to write down what I say on the paper, ok?" Saehara told him, looking with sympathy. "Alright, let's finish this soon. We have not much time." Saehara looked at the watch lingering around his wrist. "10 minutes more before we for PE." He then started to expel the solution drop by drop on the blood smear glass.

The bell rang finally and the class slowly left the laboratory. They will have a PE now and they must change their clothes. Saehara walked before Daisuke and unintentionally closed the laboratory's door, forgetting that Daisuke was still inside. And when Daisuke was about to walked to the door, he felt a soft clenched around his left wrist. He then turned back and faced Satoshi. In fact, he was not the only one left in there. It left only those two. Privately with the door closed.

"Are you alright?" Satoshi asked softly.

"Oh, just a sore throat." Daisuke answered, relaxed in Satoshi's clenched.

Suddenly Satoshi leaned forward and touched Daisuke's forehead with his. "And a fever." He added.

"Un… I guess." Daisuke answered, blushing slightly.

Another surprise, Satoshi put his arms on Daisuke's ribs and raised the smaller and lighter boy then seated him on the table. In this condition, Daisuke's face is a bit taller than his. "You should take care of yourself. Look, you are so pale." One of his arms wrapped around Daisuke's waist.

Daisuke was surprised. Well, after all Satoshi always succeeded in surprising him. "Uh… ye-yeah…"

Satoshi's face relieved, then his lips turned into a tiny smile. He then leaned forward slowly, decreasing the gap between their faces. Daisuke slowly closed his eyes, almost together with Satoshi, until their lips finally touched briefly.

"Niwa!" Suddenly Harada Risa's voice came out loudly followed with the door opened.

That gave both the boys inside a great start and quickly turned from the kiss to the door to see who the hell interrupt them.

"Ha-Harada?" Daisuke responded first from his place on the table.

Satoshi only turned his head but his hand still hadn't left Daisuke's waist. This kind of pose gave Risa a clumsy feeling.

"Go…gomen…"

"No need to say sorry." Satoshi said, as usual when he talked to other person, coldly. He then pulled Daisuke's body gently from the table, giving him support with his arms when Daisuke's feet stepped the floor. "See you in the class." Satoshi whispered then walked away leaving the laboratory.

"I heard from Saehara you are sick." Risa said clumsily.

For the first time, Daisuke really hoped he could push her out of the window.

--

The PE is a real though one. Perhaps not for a healthy students like Saehara or Riku or Risa, but the long marathon 40 times around the soccer field is a really hard task for Daisuke. His head had been far dizzier than when he was in the chemistry lab. He felt his body became weaker, and he hardly breathe. It felt like something plugged his throat and queasy rose to his chest. He tried to catch as much oxygen as he can while breathing shortly.

Finally, he stopped for a moment, bent down and panting. His head felt spinning along with his sight. He lost his balance when his legs became weaker and unable to support his body. He fell forward towards the ground directly.

"Daisuke!" A frantic shout came from someone in front of Daisuke who stopped right in the moment at abruptly caught Daisuke's body right before it crash the ground. "Daisuke!" He called again then slowly turned the body to face him instead the sandy ground, which is not good for his breath.

"Sa…" Daisuke said in the edge of his awareness before his eyes closed together. Just right before he collapsed, he felt like seeing Satoshi's face in blur shouting his name.

"Hiwatari, what happened to Niwa!?" Saehara who had just reached the spot together with the other curious students shouted to the blue haired that had Daisuke on his lap now.

"Why this baka insisted to take the PE in such a condition?" Satoshi murmured angrily. Slowly he rose from the ground while carrying Daisuke's body on his arms. "I'll take him to the hospital with my car. Saehara, bring Daisuke's and my bag to the hospital after school. Harada, tell the teacher I go to the hospital with Daisuke." Satoshi ordered firmly, with authority just like when he led a case. He then walked a bit hurriedly but also carefully holding Daisuke's small figure to the parking lot.

"Why don't you go to the infirmary first?" Harada Riku asked, still worried.

"I want the best for him." Satoshi answered simply. Not too loud so it's only Riku, Saehara and Risa who can only heard him. Then he left in silent, giving the other students curious.

"Now let's tell the teacher." Suddenly Riku said, breaking the silent among them.

"I wonder." Suddenly Risa murmured. "Since when they called each other by their given name?" That question gave the other a strange look.

--

Soft knocks heard from the door made Daisuke turned his attention from the magazine he read to the door. Suddenly, Harada twin sister's shape greeted him with smile. Daisuke grinned in return. "Konnichiwa!" Daisuke greeted.

"Konnichiwa, Niwa." Risa said while both of them walked inside.

"You both come again. In these two days you both had been visiting me regularly. Do you both okay with this?" Daisuke asked, closing the traveling magazine given to him yesterday also from the Harada twin.

"It's fine." Riku answered. She is holding a bouquet of various flowers. "Here, I'll put this in a vase."

"Oh, arigatou. Really, thanks for coming." Daisuke smiled.

"How are you? You have been staying here for 3 days, when will the doctor let you home?" Risa asked. She took a seat on the couch available.

"I feel far more better, but the doctor told me I still have to stay here for about a week. Well, my fever hasn't come down yet, I still feel weak and dizzy sometimes." Daisuke explained. "I guess the doctor is right."

"Just follow what the doctor order you." Riku said, finished with the bouquet. "Get well soon. And don't force yourself too much. See what is the risk after you forced yourself to take the PE lesson."

"Yeah, Riku is right." Risa said. "Hiwatari is angry also for this. Well, he looks really frantic. Okashii, I never saw his expression before."

The small conversation about Satoshi had made Daisuke's face warmer. Daisuke hadn't met Satoshi between these three days in the hospital. He never came for a visit. He also didn't call him up or sent any massage. It has made him somehow disappointed. "Oh…does he?"

"Risa, we can't be here too long, you know? Okaasan is waiting for us." Riku suddenly remind her twin sister then turned to Daisuke. "We have to go now. We usually have a family meeting every weekend."

Risa stood from her seat and then smiled to Daisuke. "Alright then, get well soon, Niwa."

"We can't visit you tomorrow, so we'll be back in Monday, is that ok?" Riku asked, a bit shyly.

"Of course. Thank you. Take care." Daisuke answered, waving his hand while smiling.

"Ja na." Both of them then left the room, leaving Daisuke alone again.

Daisuke looked at the magazine he read before, took it and opened the page randomly. He sighed deeply while closing his eyes.

'You seem burdened.' Came Dark's voice.

It took a few seconds for Daisuke to respond. "I wonder where Satoshi is."

'Not again.' Dark said exasperated.

Daisuke chuckled. "Gomen ne. I guess it's a fool to keep thinking about him all the time when he even never looked at me. You know, Dark, I guess he loves you."

'How can you say so!?' Dark was really surprised from Daisuke's sudden conclusion. 'Hell!'

"It's true. He only concerned about you." Daisuke said solemnly. His face looks suddenly sullen and desperate.

'AH!! I can't stand with your face like that!' Dark said out loud, thundering in Daisuke's mind. 'Listen, you baka! Do you know who is the one who bring you here? The one who chose this hospital when actually a nearer infirmary is available from the soccer field where you fainted."

Daisuke simply shook his head plainly. "The teacher perhaps."

'Fool!!! It is HIM!' Dark said impatiently. 'He even stayed here the whole first day. It's only you were asleep and woke up the next morning. He had left that time. I guess he had a case of some kind of that. But really, he waited for you.' Dark said, exasperated already. 'Now, how can you say so!?'

Daisuke gave a small smile. His little heart actually leapt joyfully, but still he doubts everything. After all, Satoshi never looks so determined about his own feeling. "Fool me." Daisuke murmured. "I love him." And he felt a tear appeared in the corner of his eyes. After all, doubt can destroy everything.

--

Dark is now looking intently at the sleeping Daisuke. He looks so fragile after his soft and silent cry before. His face shows a silent pain and regret. Even though Dark never really understand what exactly should be regret for.

The room is quite vivid with the sun gleam light from the window. It's almost come to a sunset so the sky is coloured with orange and the cloud looks glittering with the light. Dark was silently hoped Satoshi would come back soon and clear all the doubts from Daisuke's thought. Even though he always pretends like he never cares about Daisuke's feeling, actually he always wants the best for him.

Then, slowly the door opened. A silent creaking from the hinge followed with Satoshi's shape appeared. His face looked so tired and a bit pale. He walked inside, put his bag on the couch and walked closer to Daisuke's bed. Silently he examined Daisuke's face. Suddenly he frowned. "Why I had a sense you had just crying before?" He asked, merely to himself. Then he turned back and walked to the bathroom to take a bath.

"He loves you." A sudden voice startled him and forced him to look back to the bed. He found no Daisuke there, instead Dark.

Surprised, but still able to control him. That is Satoshi. "Why did you tell me such a thing?"

"ARGH!!!" Dark clenched both his palm together. "Because I'm sick of hell seeing you both doubting each other feeling!!!"

This time, Satoshi is able to say nothing. He was extremely shocked from this sudden and unexpected declare. In his mind, he asked himself about his feeling towards Daisuke. Or perhaps the truth that he actually doubting Daisuke's feeling towards him.

"I had given up. He loves you badly. No matter what I say, it won't change his mind." Dark said, calmer this time. "His heart is set on you."

Satoshi turned back to the bathroom direction. His heart is set. "Give him a chance to rest. He still hasn't recovered yet." And he went to the bathroom. Secretly, he smiled.

--

When Daisuke opened his eyes, he faced a dark ceiling and heard only the soft roar from the air conditioner and the clock's tick tock. It's night already and the only light lightening the room is the bedside lamp from both Daisuke's side. He yawned and stretched his body slowly. He felt much better than this morning and he felt just as healthy as usual.

Daisuke sat on his bed slowly. Suddenly his head felt dizzy again. Well, it seems he is still far from a fully recover condition. He yawned again then looked around the room. This time, he got heart attack by seeing Satoshi, sleeping on the couch peacefully.

From the sight, Daisuke could only stared at him in silent. He suddenly remembered what Dark said before. He waited for you. So it's true. "Baka." Daisuke murmured. He then slowly lifted to his feet, pulled another blanket available inside the bedside desk, and walked closer to Satoshi. But unfortunately, his leg still couldn't support his body as it became weak and made him lost his balance and fell down on Satoshi.

That surely gave Satoshi a great start. His arms automatically put around Daisuke's body to prevent him falling to the floor. "Daisuke! Why are you out of bed!?" He snapped. Suddenly his eyes fixed on the blanket that now spread on his knee. His face slowly softened. While Daisuke said nothing, he tightens his hug around Daisuke's slim figure as Daisuke's arm went around his back.

"I miss you." Daisuke whispered slowly.

"I had an emergency case out of Tokyo for a few days." Satoshi explained slowly upon Daisuke's ears. His hand caressed Daisuke's hair slowly, feeling the soft texture under his finger's touch. No doubts. "Daisuke… aishiteru." He tightens the hug once again.

Daisuke's surprise can't be hold to long. He's about to jumped out of Satoshi's embrace if only Satoshi's hug wasn't to tight and made him unable to move. "Sa…Satoshi?" His eyes wide opened in disbelieve.

"Aishiteru." Satoshi repeated then loosen his hug, allow Daisuke to released himself and stared deeply at him. "No more doubt." Satoshi smiled.

"Satoshi…" That was the only word Daisuke able to say before he hugged the blue haired tightly. His heart filled with relief and warmness. For the first time since a long time he felt so light.

Satoshi replayed the hug gently. "You should go back to sleep." He said gently then suddenly carried him tenderly and laid him on the bed. He touched his forehead with Daisuke's to check his degree. "Seems like you still have a fever."

"Satoshi" Daisuke slowly called. "Daisuki" He smiled.

"It's not With, isn't it?" Satoshi smiled also. Daisuke only nodded with a soft chuckle. "Case closed." He leaned forward and seals their new beginning relation ship with a soft kiss. Their first kiss after the last one they had at the accidental night. Proving there will be nothing to doubt about among them anymore. Their love is clear and pure. And let the love grows.
