At the hospital
Yuki's Point Of View
Tatsuha's eyes were red. Was he crying over Shuichi? "Ayaka is down the hall. Why don't you go see what's going on with her and call her family while you're at it." I wanted a moment alone with Shuichi. "Uh, okay." He got up slowly and looked back at Shuichi for a minute. He was uncertain about leaving him. I nodded at him. He looked back at Shuichi again and left. "Sorry Tatsuha," I said to myself. I looked over at the beautiful pink roses he'd brought for him. They matched Shuichi's hair. I wish I had brought him some, but I was in too much of a hurry and nearly killed his best friend. Killed. Oh god it was happening again. I was remembering. I began to tremble. I was glad Shuichi wasn't awake to see me like this. It was degrading. He looked so peaceful. He hadn't worries at this moment. No headache who couldn't decide whether he loved or hated him. Did I do this to him? Did I... Seguchi opened the door forcing my thoughts away suddenly. "Eiri!" He walked over to me arms open. He held me close and ran his fingers through my hair. It was almost hypnotic.
Out In The Hall
Frey's Point Of View
Yuki just loved to keep me waiting. Here I was again. He took off into Shuichi's room. Shortly after his brother came out. "How's the pink haired boy," I asked. "They don't know. Mind showing me where they took Ayaka and Hiro?" I didn't know who he was talking about. "Who?" "Ayaka, the one Eiri hit!" "Oh you mean the girl." "Yes!" "Follow the leader!" I started walking down the hall with my arm sticking out like a Nazi. It didn't look like he was playing along. Oh well. I started walking normal halfway to the girl's room. The poor girl had third degree burns on most of the right side. "We're here! Don't forget to leave a tip." He glared at me. These people glare alot. Made me think of Kyo. "Hey Frey can I talk to you?" Tatsuha wanted to talk to me? Strange. "Sure." "I love Shuichi." "Okay." "And Shuichi loves Eiri." "Okay." "And Eiri loves Shuichi." "Okay." "But only sometimes." "Okay." "Feel free to voice your opinion any time here." "Okay." I thought he was going to hit me for a minute. "You love Shuichi and your brother Yuki. You don't want to hurt either and you want what's best for both." "So keeping my mouth shut about my feelings would be a good idea?" "Wrong. If you say how you feel you may not have peace between you and Yuki, but if you keep your mouth shut you won't have peace with in yourself. Don't trap your feelings. It could be dangerous." He didn't seem to understand what I meant by dangerous. Either way there would be a broken heart here. "For once you actually make sense." "Thank you!" "I'm going to go tell Eiri how I feel. And once Shuichi wakes up I'll tell him too."
Tatsuha's Point Of View
I was going to tell Eiri how I felt about Shuichi. I had to. Frey, was right. I forced myself down to Shuichi's room. I nervously knocked on the door. "Come in." It wasn't Eiri. No instead it was Touma-san. "Brother? What are you doing here? Is Micca here?" "She's downstairs talking to the doctors about Miss Ayaka's condition." I didn't want to say it in front of Touma! He loves Eiri. I bowed down before I spoke. "Eiri there's something I have to tell you." "Why are you being so formal?" "I...l...I," I got stuck. I felt like I should look at him when I tell him something as important as this. I forced myself to look at his face. What I saw stopped me from speaking. Eiri had been crying for Shuichi. I had felt pretty good about this when I told Frey I was going to confess to Eiri how I felt. As more time passed that feeling was slipping away from me. He had been crying, which was something that didn't happen often. He had been crying for Shuichi, which is something that never happens. Shuichi would be so happy to know Eiri actually cares this much. Maybe he already knew. "Eiri? Are you alright?" "Fine Tatsuha. What did you want to tell me?" "It's nothing..." I chickened out. "Well," Eiri said standing up. "I'm going outside for a smoke." He left me and Touma there. "You love him," he said to me. "How did you know?" "It's very obvious." He looked at Shuichi laying in bed. "Hmm..." He looked him up and down then went to the door. "Well that's all I need to see. Now to so how Mr. Nakano is doing." "That's most likely where you'll find the rest of the band as well," I informed him. He nodded, thanked me, and left. "Just me and you now." I pushed his hair out of his eyes. He was so beautiful laying there. I leaned down and kissed him. Maybe someday he would kiss me back. Maybe...
A week later
At the rehab center
Sakano's Point Of View
Hiro had broken three bones in his ribcage, two bones in his arm snapped, and he shattered a bone in his left leg. It would be a while before we'd be back on track. He couldn't play untill his arm healed. Which would be a few months. And even then who knows what will happen to Shuichi. Ayaka had to have all the melted flesh removed. The new skin would come back, but not without scars. Hiro's been nothing but supportive and loving towards her the whole time, bless his soul. Tatsuha hasn't left Shuichi's side for a minute since that day and Yuki comes to visit often. They've labled it a coma. They have no idea when he'll come out of it. It seems as though he's just sleeping. Fujisaki was the only bandmember at the press confrence. As said before, Tatsuha was able, but he refused to leave Shuichi's side. At the conference it was announced that the tour would be put on a hold and 'Bad Luck' will be taking a year long break. It would certainly do damage to the sales of the second record we just put out, but it couldn't be helped. They needed the year to recover. Hiro was training with his rehab instructor. Things seemed to be coming along fine. I was simply here to pick him up and drop him off at the hospital. A pretty looking nurse brought him out in a wheelchair. I helped him into the front seat of the car and put the folded wheel chair in back. He smiled at the nurse as we were driving away. "Every one's surprised with you Mr. Nakano," I said. He was recovering fast. Doctors were amazed. "I've got thick skin. I want to hurry and get better so that I can help take care of Ayaka." It looked alot worse when they brought him into the hospital. I guess under all the blood, his injuries weren't that bad. "Well here we are." He hadn't been able to see Shuichi yet since he fainted on the stage. I wheeled him into the elevator and down to Shuichi's room. There Tatsuha was sleeping in one of the chairs. "Well what are you waiting for wheel me over to him." I moved him to Shuichi "That's fine. You can go ahead and go now." That was good. I had some business to tend to.
In the hospital
Hiro's Point Of View
Sakano pushed me over to Shuichi. Finally I could see my bud. Once Yuki got here, which I knew he would be coming, I would ask him to take me to see Ayaka. "Well don't worry Shu-chan your pal Hiro's here." Yuki walked in. He added the new bouquet of flowers he'd broughten to the collection he'd start on the table in the corner. The best ones by far were the pink roses that were in the center. He lifted Tatsuha up and layed him across the windowsill and then covered him with his coat. "Any improvements," he asked me. As if I would know. "I just got here myself. How's he been the past few days?" "He hasn't moved at all while I was here. The person you want to ask his Tatsuha. He never leaves the brat's side." "I feel bad. I can't decide whether to visit Ayaka or Shuichi. I should be supporting both and yet I'm there for neither." "It doesn't matter. You being there isn't going to make them recover any faster, and you have some recovering to do on your own." "If you truly felt that way you wouldn't be here now." He didn't answer me. He looked pretty tired himself. "Will you wheel to Ayaka's room please?" "Sure."
In Shuichi's room
Tatsuha's Point Of View
Shoot I fell asleep! I woke up covered by Eiri's coat. I saw that he had brought a new bouquet of flowers for him. Every day he came in and added a new bouquet to the collection. My idol, Ryuichi, came in once and left Mr. Bear for him. Touma-san visited once too. I sat up. I was feeling groggy. Shuichi looked fine. He hadn't moved. I went to his bedside. "Shuichi? Sorry I fell asleep. Are you dreaming happy things? I wonder." "Knock it off Tatsuha, he can't hear you," Yuki said. "You're right," I said with a sigh. Why did he always have to bring me down like that. It was getting on my nerves not being able to do anything for him. "I can't take it. I feel so damn helpless. Isn't there anything we can do?" "Shut up. You freaking out isn't going to help bring him back." He was right. I knew he was right. But I couldn't help it. "What do you care? You kicked him out anyway. Doesn't matter to you as long as the 'damn brat' is out of your hair right?" A tear came to his eye. It was a low blow and I knew it. I wanted to take it back the instant the words slipped off of my tongue. "Eiri. I'm sorry. I didn't mean it. I..." "You're right. I hurt him. I pushed him away. Through all of his insistance." He picked up his jacket and left. "Eiri wait!" He shut the door in my face. Great. I screwed up. I heard something fall behind me. I turned and saw the most wonderful thing in the world. Shuichi was sitting up. He'd knocked his pillow off the bed. "Shuichi! Oh thank god you're okay." "Who?" "Hold on I'll go get a doctor." I had never been so releived in my life.
