My Sweet Child
Chapter Eight
Danger
"Here we are live, outside the famous actor Hanejima Yuuhei or rather Heiwajima Kasuka's estate. The rumor of the young actor's identity and pregnant lover has driven many of his fans mad. The public speech that was to be held three days ago was canceled from the young actor being unable to arrive in the town square. Since then many of the fans despite the swarm of police officers holding them back have been camping outside the actor's estate waiting eagerly for the actor and his lover to appear."
"Shit…" Shizuo grumbled, laying quite uncomfortably on his bed, too tired to even complain about the noise outside.
It had been a week since Izaya had blown half false and half true rumors to the newspapers. Since then day and night, hundreds of fans and reporters had been swarming around the Heiwajima brothers' house. Kasuka had been unable to go to work, Shizuo's condition was worsening by the day and because of all of the people camping around the house Shinra couldn't even go over to the house to check up on the older brunette.
"Are you alright Nii-san?" Kasuka asked looking worried as he saw deep dark circles around his tired looking brother's eyes.
"I'm fine...just try and call some more cops to surround the house or something…" Shizuo joked.
"...Nii-san…"
"Shinra nii...Nii-san's been getting worse. He can't even get out of bed now."
"God really!...umm...has he been eating well?"
"Yes, well... we've had no problem with food since some of the police officers have been bringing us food."
"Then how about sleep. I bet he couldn't get much of that from all the noise…"
"..."
"...I see...then...well I'll have to go there in person to know for sure but...it's probably stress and lack of sleep that's getting to him…"
"Is there anything I can do to help Nii-san?"
"Well...for know make sure he eats regularly and…try and get him as much time as possible to sleep…"
"..."
"...Good luck..."
"...Thanks...Shinra nii..."
Cough * Cough * Cough *
Another week past and on the 23rd week of pregnancy, Shizuo's body had finally had it. He could barely lift his fingers off the bed, he wheezed and coughed all day long and sometimes he could feel sharp pains that were clearly not kicks from his abdomen.
"Nii-san...I'll go call an ambulance!" Kasuka said trembling as he stood up.
He turned to the door and was about to rush out when Shizuo's thin arm grabbed hold of the tip of his shirt, preventing him from moving anywhere.
"Nii-san?" Kasuka asked looking worryingly down at the weak older brunette.
"...Don't go...don't...leave…m...me" Shizuo cried, grabbing harder onto Kasuka's shirt.
Kasuka was stunned as he saw Shizuo in such a pitiful state but that was only for a moment as the older brunette lost his strength and fell onto the floor.
"N...NII-SAN!"
Kasuka picked Shizuo up from the floor. From just one look you could see that Shizuo's condition was critical. He was trembling and forming a cold sweat as he wheezed and coughed weakly in Kasuka's arms.
"Nii-san, hang in there!" Kasuka shouted, piggybacking Shizuo and rushing down the stairs.
He wanted to take Shizuo to hospital as soon as possible but with the swarm around the house it would defiantly be difficult.
"Hey, Hanejima-san is she alright?!" The police officers asked rushing over to the two brunettes.
"No, please call an ambulance." Kasuka panted laying Shizuo down.
"Nii-san…"
