Hi, I see I have some new readers reviewing, which is wonderful!
So I'll tell you how I write, okay?
I write everyday. Every. Single. Day.
I update everyday. But if I'm having problems with my internet connection or I'm extremely busy, I'll update on the second day.
If I made a mistake (typos, grammar mistakes, etc.), please forgive me. Because I'm really busy (I'm a student council President) and sometimes I can miss a small mistake like that.
And if one of my chapters is fast-paced, that means I'm extremely hungry and sleepy and that I wrote that after a 5-hour long study.
=Usui's POV=
I didn't know I fell asleep.
"Ugh, sir?" I felt a tap on my shoulders.
I lifted up my head, my eyes still blinking.
A nurse was looking down at me.
Seriously, a nurse.
'Where am I?' I asked myself. But then the memories started coming in.
I was in a hospital, waiting for Misaki, who was in the ICU, unconscious. She was crashed by a truck while saving a kid.
I swear I coulf feel the tears coming back up, but I was quick enough to stop it before it starts to flow out.
"Oh!" I quickly stood up. "Sorry, must have dozed off there." I rubbed my eyes.
"Sorry I woke you up. The doctor wants to talk to you. He's inside," she stepped back and stretched a hand, pointing inside the room.
"Oh, of course," I walked in the room.
The room was huge. I didn't realize it before. A thick blue curtain divided the room. Beside the curtain laid a desk, similar to the Student Council President's desk. The doctor – at least in his thirties – was sitting on a brown, spinning chair, looking at papers with a pair of reading glasses.
"Oh!" He snapped when he saw me. "Sorry. Please sit down."
I sat down on a chair across from him.
"Sir, can I know what's her name?" The doctor asked, his eyes still on the piece of paper.
"Ayuzawa. Ayuzawa Misaki," I answered.
"Okay. So miss Ayuzawa... May I know how she got herself into this condition?"
"She was struck by a truck when saving a kid. She took his place," I tried to not show the pain I suffered when saying the sentence.
"Oh, I see. A great girl she is."
"So how is she?" I suddenly asked.
"She's fine. Nothing to worry about. Only a broken rib and a wound on her head. Fortunately, she didn't lose a lot of blood, so that's good. She might suffer some concussions when she goes conscious again. She may leave the hospital in 3 days, when we're sure that her rib has healed," he said, finally looking at me.
"Okay. Thank you doctor. May I see her now?" I asked while standing up.
"Oh, of course. She's still unconscious, though," he said while standing up and pulling the blue curtain, revealing a maiden in deep sleep.
I inched towards her and sat down on a stool beside her bed.
"I'll leave you guys alone then," the doctor said and went out the room, muttering about 'young love' as he did.
"Hey," I whispered while bending down and kissed her forehead, which was partially covered with bandages.
I held her palm and wrapped it in mine. Her face and lips were pale. Her hands were as cold as ice.
"Why did you save that kid when you know you'll end up like this? You almost gave me a heart attack when I saw you fall on the ground, Ayuzawa... You can sometimes be really reckless, huh?" I bent down, lifted her hand and placed it on my cheeks.
I closed my eyes and stayed in that position for a minute or so, holding her freezing hand on my cheeks. I felt relieved. Relieved that she was fine and that there was nothing I needed to worry about. Well, that was how the doctor said it anyway. And just any minute, she would wake up and return to her old self.
I opened my eyes and placed her hand down beside her body. I stared at her for a while.
'Brave girl, you are, Ayuzawa... But you should care for your own safety, too,' I smiled and parted her bangs.
"U-usui?" She muttered, her voice coarse. She blinked open her eyes and stared at me for a while.
"Oh, you're awake!"
"W-where am I?" She said, clearing her throat after she did.
"The hospital," I answered.
"Hospital? What am I doing in the hospital?" She asked while trying to sit up.
"Don't. You should lie down," I said as I my arm circled her shoulders and gently pulled her down.
"Why am I here? And where's that kid?"
"That kid's fine. Really, Ayuzawa... You're in this condition and you're still worrying over another person... You saved him, Ayuzawa. And by doing so, you risked your own life. Seriously, just how reckless can you be?" I sighed and smiled.
"What's wrong with helping other people?" She cleared her throat again.
"I didn't say it's wrong. But you also need to take care of yourself, no?"
"Ugh... So, did I break my skull or something?" She her fingers played with the bandage on her head.
"No, just a wound."
"Oh, I see," she cleared her throat again. "Okay, Usui, my throat is really killing me. Can you help me get a glass of water, please? Thanks."
"Sure thing, my Princess," I kissed her forehead before standing up and going out to grab her glass of water.
"Pervert," she hissed.
The moment I stepped out, I heard loud footsteps. I turned towards the direction it came from.
A person was running away. The person was wearing a long brown jacket that covers until the heel of the shoes with a matching hat and a pair of glasses. I stayed for a while and thought who could that be.
'Whatever,' I finally thought and went into the pantry to get some water.
When I went in Misaki's room, she was rubbing her temples, her eyes closed.
"Hey, are you okay? Here's your water," I said as I handed the glass to her and took my seat.
She drank the whole thing in one breath. She was thirsty. She was very thirsty.
"Whoa! You want me to take you to River Nile to have a sip?" I laughed.
"Very funny, idiot," she continued to rub her temples.
"Concussions? The doctors said that you'll have some when you're awake."
"That explains it..."
There was silence for a while. The air inside got tense.
"Ayuzawa," I said suddenly, my voice serious.
"What is it?" She noticed how my tone had gone from joking to serious.
"I know that this might be a little fast and everything..." I said groggily.
"Yeah?"
"D-do you want to be my fiancé?" I asked.
Silence.
Her eyes bugged out, her jaws dropped.
"Wh-what?" She broke the silence.
"Do you want to be my fiancé?" I repeated. "Because that way, we'll-"
"Fiancé?" She asked loudly, her eyes looks like they're about to pop out any time soon.
"Yes. I know this is a bit soon and that we just graduated from high school and everything, but-"
"Usui. Don't joke with me about this kind of stuff," she said while shifting onto her shoulder, facing me.
"I'm not joking, Ayuzawa. I'm serious. So do you want-" I was about to ask her again when she sent off a blood curdling screech.
She quickly lifted her hands up and pressed her head. She was rolling back and forth.
"What happened, Ayuzawa?" I immediately got up on my feet and reached up to her.
"M-my head... Usui... My head..." She muttered.
I quickly reached up to the table beside her bed and pressed the red button. The button that would call the doctor in.
"AARRRGHHHHHH!" She shouted.
"The doctor's coming, Ayuzawa. The doctors coming!" I tried to calm her down.
But then she suddenly stopped moving and her hands and legs fell on the bed. Her eyes fell shut.
"Ayuzawa! Ayuzawa!" I shouted while shaking her shoulders gently.
"What is it?" The doctor finally appeared.
"She woke up but then she had a terrible headache and now..." I tried to explain.
"Okay, sir, your time is up. Please exit the room so that I can check on her," he said without looking at me. He ran towards her and shined a small torch light at Misaki's eyes.
I obediently followed what the doctor had told me to do. To go outside and wait for – hopefully good – news.
I sat on a yellow plastic chair and buried my head in my hands.
'Bless her... Please...' I begged.
Please review!
