An older couple burst into the waiting room scaring Mamoru half to death. The caramel haired woman is the first to reach the blonde boy, her eyes red and puffy from crying. He searched her blue eyes and saw nothing but panic, how could he tell Maya what happened, how he failed to keep her baby safe?
"What happened? How did he get hurt?" She choked.
"He was i-in a car accident" He struggled to explain "The car was totaled and he's in critical condition."
The dark brunette that came in with her stood behind her and gripped his shoulders. He looked like he wanted to cry but he needed to be strong for his wife, putting on a smile he hugged her close.
"Haou's strong sweetie he'll pull through" There's was no confidence in his voice.
Mamoru watched Maya break as Mikoto tried his best to keep her together, Heterochromiac eyes glanced behind the couple. By the door stood a two-toned brunette, the top part a sweet caramel while the bottom of his hair was a chocolate brown. He looked like he just came from somewhere important, ripped black jeans with a tight black shirt covered by a red jean jacket. He had a silver chain necklace on and seemed to be hiding any blemishes with make-up.
Hazel eye's which he's only seen on television and magazines locked onto his violet and blue eyes. He was basically a spitting image of Haou and Mamoru finally understood while people confused them so often.
As the couple went of to talk to the nurses the brunette pushed himself off the wall and walked toward the blonde. In normal circumstances he would be elated to meet a celebrity like Jaden but right now he could only feel cold and numb. The brunette stood in front of him, hazel orbs scanned him up and down making him uncomfortable.
"Who are you anyway?" His voice was dead, no emotion.
"I'm Mamoru Anderson" the blonde held out his hand "Your twin's boyfriend."
Jaden stared at the hand offered and looked like he was weighing his options in his head, finally with a sigh the boy shook his hand. Pulling away he stated he had to make a call to a band mate about where he was. Mamoru thought it was weird how Jaden just brushed off his accident, he actually sounded like this was all just disrupting his schedule.
When the brunette was out of sight Mamoru headed over to the Yuki's, they sat in chairs closest to the hall hoping they'd hear something soon. He sat across from them all three exhausted from the constant stress and worry.
Thirty minutes had passed before Jaden came back, his eyes practically glued to his phone typing away. The blonde twitched, he knew the twins didn't have the best relationship but did he truly not care for his brother? Waiting was killing him slowly and his throat was dried out.
"I'm going to the cafeteria really quick" He sighed.
"Wait I'll come with you, I would have gone earlier but this place is a maze to me" Jaden put his phone away.
The parents nodded them off staying put, Mamoru internally groaned and headed out the door brunette trailing behind. As they walked down the hallway the blonde glanced at the other, trying to read his emotions. Nothing, he wasn't sad or worried, he was basically stoic.
"It's ok to cry you know?" He tried.
"I don't really need to" the brunette shot down.
"Your twin brother is hurt and you don't care?"
Jaden sighed and rubbed his temples "Why should i?"
Mamoru froze up, he stood in the hallway shocked, the brunette stopped and looked at him questioningly. The blonde snapped, grabbing the front of the brunette's shirt he threw him up against the wall. The smaller didn't give him a reaction which seemed to piss him off more.
"He might not make it and you don't care!?" He shouted.
Thank god the hallway was empty or the blonde was pretty sure security would have thrown him out.
"Just let it go, I'm only here to help my parents" he glared.
"What's wrong with you!?" Mamoru hissed "Why are you being a dick?"
That seemed to hit the rock star, his stoic face replaced but not with sadness; with rage. He pushed of the wall breaking out of the blondes hold and growled low and threatening. He didn't back down he glared right into the hazel eyes ready to fight back.
"Why would I care about some one who hates me" Jaden hissed.
That threw the blonde off, hate? Haou never mentioned hate, then again he never told Mamoru the whole story. Looking at the boy now he could see he was shaking slightly and tears were forming in the corners of his eyes. The blonde shook his head his anger fading as he saw the pain in the other's eyes. He knew Haou didn't hate this boy, they just had a falling out he wanted to fix it. He relaxed and Jaden kept his head down trying to fight back the tears, he went to comfort the boy but was smacked away.
There's was no words exchanged, the brunette wiped his eyes and with the cold expression walked off. Mamoru should have gone after him but for some reason his feet wouldn't move. When the initial shock was gone he made his run to the cafeteria, grabbing a water with a few stolen glances at the pissed brunette, then headed back to the waiting room. Maya and Mikoto were still sitting there looking at the doors, just waiting.
Jaden knelt down in front of his mother, handing her a bottle of water he urged her to drink a bit. The blonde watched silently has he made sure both his parents had water and crackers, satisfied he went over to talk to the nurse. Mamoru took his spot from across the Yuki's again and slowly drank his water flinching at the burning feeling in his throat.
"M-mamoru how long has he been is surgery?" Maya's voice was shaky.
He thought back to when he first got the call "possibly three hours maybe more, he was in there when I arrived."
Just then a surgeon came out, there was a solemn look in his eyes as he glanced at all four of them. Jaden slowly came over standing next to the blonde, the three stood from their chairs all searching the man's old green eyes. The atmosphere was heavy and practically crushed the blonde, his breathing was difficult as suspense clawed at his throat.
"I'm sorry" He started "Several of Mr. Yuki's broken ribs pierced several organs, we couldn't repair the damage."
A helpless cry was heard in his right ear, Maya had collapsed to her knees screaming. Mamoru went cold, he wanted to scream and cry but he choked, he felt lost and dead inside.
"He doesn't have much time left" The surgeon stepped aside "I'll let you say your goodbye's"
Mikoto had no choice, he helped his broken wife up practically carrying her to the room. He wanted to follow, he needed to see his lover one last time but he couldn't move. Jaden noticed the blonde's stillness and wrapped a free arm around his shoulder, he said nothing but helped the other move forward. He was grateful to the brother for being his temporary legs, they walked down the hallway which seemed to reek of sorrow.
His heart was tight and his lungs threatened to suffocate him as he stood in front of the wooden door. On the other side was his bed ridden lover fighting to hold onto his last breath, Jaden once again offered his help. The brunette opened the door and held it letting the other make a choice for himself. With a deep breath he walked in, as he looked at the bed his heart broke.
Haou weakly stared at his parents as machines struggled to keep him breathing. Tears streamed down the blonde's face as he slowly approached his bed side. Sitting in the chair provided he intertwined their finger the best he could since a few looked broken. Haou had finished trying to talk to his parents and was painfully turning his head to look at Mamoru.
"Looks like you were right" Haou voice strained and he forced a smile.
"why didn't you just wait" Sobs filled his voice.
"I'm sorry" He was fading "I was stubborn"
Mamoru nodded and held the brunette's hand to his cheek, sobs racked through his body. Haou motioned his eyes to the small table near his head, confused Mamoru looked to see a small black box sitting on it. Looking back at the broken boy confused the other signaled him to come closer. He leaned down giving his lover his ear wondering what was so important.
"it's a gift for Jaden, please do me a favor and take care of him"
Mamoru pulled back quickly giving him a concerned look, the other just nodded and gestured towards the door. There Jaden stood watching them from a far not really knowing what to do.
"He may seem tough but he's just as broken and sensitive as everyone else" Haou whispered.
"I promise" Mamoru squeezed his broken hand gently.
Haou nodded his eyes getting heavier and duller, the blonde held out his hand towards Jaden. He knew the twins had problems but there no way he turn down his brothers dying desires. Reluctantly the boy walked over, not taking the others hand as he sat next to him. Moving his hand onto Haou's arm he offered the hand to its identical. Jaden froze looking like he was debating again, in the end he took his brothers hand.
"I'm sorry" His voice was draining faster.
"Why didn't you wait" Jaden sighed "Your normally smarter than this."
"I was trying to see your concert" Weaker.
Jaden's eyes widen "Why"
No answer came, Haou had faded away before he could answer the question. Mikoto and Maya fell apart both holding each other as they cried, Mamoru begged the boy to come back and tears flooded his eyes. Jaden was still, eyes still wide as his brain tried to fully process what happened. Hazel eyes remained on the lifeless dull eyes that used to be a piercing gold. Reaching a hand forward he closed those haunting eyes and took a shaky breath.
He felt odd, he couldn't cry, the others around him were in pain but he just felt numb. It's not like he really knew Haou, the last time they talked was in sophomore year of high school and that talk ended in a fight. He had no tears to shed for the man who cut him out of his life but a small part of his brain wished he did.
