Don't Say Goodbye

Chapter 17: Seiichi Yukimaru

You were called into the principal's office and you were nervous. You wondered what you did wrong. You mind buzzed and you barely heard the principal call your name. You looked up and stuttered a greeting and followed her into her office. You fidgeted in front of her trying to keep from looking up at her. "Y/N, do you remember who Seiichi Yukimaru is?"

You look up and nod your head. "The captain of Rikkai Dai."
She nodded her head. "I need you to go and visit him at the hospital."
You looked at her confused. "Why not have Tezuka go?" You ask.

She shook her head. "He is busy at the moment."
You nodded your head understanding fully that Tezuka was busy with work as well. "Alright then." You tell her.

She nods her head and hands you a package. "A gift to him."
You nod your head and take it along with a map to the hospital. As school end you head off to the hospital. "Umm what room is Seeichi Yukimaru?" You ask.

"213." The nurse at the counter said.

You nod your head and head up the elevator. You get out and look for the room. You knock on the door and a voice beckons you in. You open the door to see a young man wearing sky blue pajamas. His hair in waves and resembled the ocean. He looked at you honestly curious. "Who are you?" He asked.

You bow flustered and show him the gift. "I'm here to represent Seigaku."
He laughs at you and takes the gift and opens it. He smiles. "Would you like one?" He asked holding a bag of cookies to you.

You shake your head. "How are you feeling Yukimaru-San?" You ask.

He nods his head and takes a bite out of the cookie and smiles. "Good, if I don't do anything strenuous I should be out in a few weeks."
You smile and nod your head. "I'm glad." You say.

He looks at you and nods his head. "How rude of me, I don't even know your name!"

You laugh at his expression. "My name is Y/N."
He smiles. "A pretty name."
You blush. No one, not even Tezuka has said that to you before. "Um…Thank you."
He smiles and nods his head. The two of you talk about school, the weather, and tennis. "By chance are you Tezuka's girlfriend?" He asks.

You nod your head. He chuckles. "How is it?"
You look at him confused. He looks back at you with the same expression. "Haven't you heard?"
You shake his head. "What?"
"It is set he will be leaving for Germany after he finishes at Seigaku."
Your body becomes ridged. He covers his mouth regretting what he said. "Ah, I guess he hasn't told you yet." He said softly.

You nod your head slowly. He sighs. "Sorry."
You shake your head and get up. "It's alright. Um…I need to go now."
He nods his head and looks outside to find the sun already setting. "Be careful."
You nod your head and head out feeling numb.

How come he knew and you didn't? Why didn't Tezuka bother to tell you? You looked at your phone. There was only a few months until the school end yet Tezuka didn't even bother to tell you. It was breezy outside but you didn't care as the wind pulled at your hair. You hugged yourself as you walked home. You continued walking finding no one around the neighborhood short cut. You sigh and quicken your pace. You stop hearing footsteps behind you. You continue walking without looking back. The hairs at the back of your neck rising. You continue to walk but the steps where getting closer. You don't know what made you turn but you did and it made you scream. They jump back startled as well. "The hell?" He cursed.

You blink to find Momoshiro starting at you. "Momoshiro?"
"Ehhh? What are you doing here?" He asked surprised.

"A short cut home."
Momoshiro looked at his watch. "You shouldn't be here so late."
You nod your head. "I went to visit someone at the hospital…"
The conversation you had with Yukimaru came back and your body became numb again. "Oh…well it's pretty cold outside, you better hurry home. I can take you if you want." He offered.

You don't reply and your feet become rooted there. He looked at you and walks closer and looks at you. "Are you okay Sempai?"
Out of nowhere tears begin to stream. You rub at them furiously but they continue to fall. You grit your teeth in frustration feeling weak. Suddenly, you are put into a warm embrace. "Let it all out Sempai."
Your eyes widened and just that you cry into his chest. Crying and crying just like a baby. But soon, he won't even be there to hold you. Everyone will leave and you will be the only one who hasn't made up your mind of what you want.
