This is a few months after Hikaru's birth.

Midorima stared through the small window into the hospital room. Natsuki was sleeping on her bed, looking peaceful. For the past few months, Midorima had been spending time with Natsuki and watched as she suffered. Her only hope was the heart transplant but waiting for a transplant could be endless. Regardless of all these, Natsuki still kept positive.

Natsuki opened her eyes, feeling someone staring at her and looked over to the door, smiling when she saw Midorima's face. She waved him in and Midorima opened the door, walking in. "Why were you just standing there?" she asked, sitting up on the bed and placed her pillow behind her back to make herself comfortable.

"You were sleeping. I didn't want to wake you," Midorima said, taking a seat next to her bed. "How are you feeling today?"

"Better," Natsuki nodded and gave Midorima a smile. "Come on, smile a bit, Shintaro. I don't like seeing your poker face all the time. I can't read your mind," she said.

Natsuki reached over and held up two index fingers. She poked the corners of Midorima's lips and pushed them upward, smiling at him. Midorima pushed her hands away, giving her a small smile before returning to his rather stoic expression. It was more than enough for Natsuki as she leaned back on her pillow. Midorima reached into his bag and pulled out a stuffed bear, putting it on the nightstand.

"Oh? Is that a gift, Shintaro?" Natsuki asked, taking the toy into her arms and hugged it. "Oh, it's so fluffy and cozy," she smiled. "How did you know that I like soft toys?"

"I didn't. That is your lucky item for today," Midorima stated. "You need a bit of luck now."

"I don't need luck. All I need is for you to smile," Natsuki grinned, bopping Midorima's nose cutely. "But thank you, Shintaro. I love it."

The two sat in silence for a while with Midorima watching Natsuki as she played with the stuffed bear he bought her. "Any news about your transplant?" Midorima asked. Natsuki looked up from the bear and shook her head. He never understood why she never liked talking about the transplant. After all, one would naturally worry about whether or not they get to live on for longer.

"I don't want to talk about the transplant," Natsuki said as if she read Midorima's mind. "Because talking about a transplant feels like I'm wishing for someone to die. I can only get a heart if someone dies and donates that heart to me. I don't want to wish for someone to die just because I'm being selfish."

"It's okay to be selfish when it comes to your life, Natsuki."

"If you were the one in my position, I will be selfish and wish that someone would die so you can get the transplant," Natsuki smiled. "But not for me. You're a smart person who can contribute a lot to the world while I'm just a girl who lives her life as she gets it. I didn't do a lot for the world. I don't really deserve to live on if I'm supposed to leave."

"You are the most special person," Midorima stated. "You may not think so but you're the one person who should not live such a short life."

Natsuki looked at Midorima before giving him a smile. She leaned forward and kissed him softly on the cheeks. "Takao-san is right about you, you tsundere," she giggled a little and hugged the bear.

The doctor walked in then, greeting Natsuki happily and nodded to Midorima. It was quite usual for the doctors to see Midorima visiting Natsuki. "Good morning," the doctor said, standing at the foot of Natsuki's bed. "I have some good news for you," he smiled. "We have a heart for your transplant. You'll be healthy and out of here in no time."

"Really?" Midorima asked.

"Oh wow," Natsuki smiled. "Guess today is my lucky day," she grinned, waving the bear at Midorima. "Thank you, Shintaro."
