Aomine kept his words and Kagami remained by his side...
The operation ended up well and time comes to see if it really worked.
The nurse removes the bandage around Aomine's eyes and leaves him with Kagami. It is only the two in the hospital's room. Kuroko, Momoi and the others are waiting outdoor. "Daiki… ar… are you afraid of opening your eyes ?"
The bandage is gone but Aomine still keeps his eyes closed and it is far from reassuring Kagami who is trembling. "No… not at all." the man nonchalantly answers. "The… then what is the matter ?" the red hair doesn't understand a single thing, he is staring at Aomine, on the edge of tears. "I am just bracing myself before I look at you."
"Wha… what is that supposed to mean ?" Kagami asks, annoyed with Aomine's playing. The man sighs and crosses his arms around his chest before asking. "Kagami, how many months has it been till now… that I didn't saw you ?"
"Seven months !" Kagami answers immediately. He has even being counting the seconds since this time. Aomine smiles at his quick answer. "So, I have to brace myself before looking at you again, because…"
He slowly opens his eyes and, grabbing Kagami's hand on his lap, rolls them to look at him. "Looking at you is like looking at the sun from too close… burning like fire, making my heart beats like hell, making my mind blank, giving me shivers and… making my lips lonely…Ah, geez, I really missed this smile !"
Kagami cries silently while smiling, he is unable to say anything. "What is it ? Why are you crying, Taiga ?" Aomine puts his hand on Kagami's cheek and wipe his tears with his finger. "Now that I can see you, why don't you only smile for me ? Give me this smile I like so much."
Gently, Kagami climbs on his man, sitting on him before giving him the longest and the deepest kiss of the world. The both lose their breath, and Kagami stares at Aomine with starry eyes. "What is the matter ?" Aomine asks.
"Nothing, I am just… crazily in love."
