I'm sorry minna-san! I know it's a very, very late update for this story. But for this past weeks after the last chapter I uploaded I'm in not a good condition. It takes time for me, even just to sit in front of the computer, let alone to back to the previous condition. I'm sorry, but for the next chapter will not be out as fast as before. Maybe one chapter for a week, since it only about 5-6 chapters onward. Please forgive me minna~

Well thanks for all the likes, follows, and reviews you gave me! It really motivates me day by day to keep struggle, finishing this story. Also the numbers of views. Enjoy this chapter minna, I know it's short but I promised longer chapter next time ;)

Chapter 10 : I don't want to make him worry

-Aoki's POV-

I felt my body was moving. But, it's kinda weird, it's felt as if my body was not touched the ground. I slowly opened my eyes, and I found Aomine-kun's face, but he wasn't looked at me. He was panting. I blinked my eyes, realization came to my mind. I being carried by Aomine-kun!

"A-Aomine-kun!"

He quickly turned his head down, "Oh, Aoki! You woke up! No need to worry, we will reach the hospital soon," he said while he kept running, carrying me.

Hospital? Crap, I don't want him to know…no, I should stop him!

"Aomine-kun, please put me down. I'm alright."

He stopped running, "What the heck did you say Aoki? You have just fallen unconscious! We should go to the hospital!" he said angrily. Why did he angry like that to me?

"I'm alright, Aomine-kun. It's just because I haven't eaten anything since the morning," I said while he was put me down.

"Geez, you're really troublesome Aoki! You should just tell me right away if you're hungry!"

"But I don't feel like to eat anyway."

"But then you fell unconscious! Tell me if you haven't eaten yet! Now let's go to the near restaurant!"

He dragged all the way and then we entered a small ramen stall. He turned his head to me, "Well, since this one is the closest, I think it's fine right?"

"What do you say? This is absolutely fine," I answered.

"Yeah, but I said 'restaurant' earlier, but I think you need to eat as soon as possible, so… it's…," I saw him confused with his words.

I chuckled, "It's really fine, Aomine-kun. Next time we will go to a restaurant if you want."

"Yeah, if you keep insisted on it," he muttered. I reached the nearest empty table and sat in front of Aomine-kun.

"Ojii-san*, chicken ramen for two!" he said to the stall's owner.

After he said our order, we felt the air getting awkward again. No one of us dare to broke the silence. I just kept looking onto the table. I still remembered his face back then when he was carrying me, running all the way to hospital. He was panting, sweating, and his face looked so worried. I want to say thank you to him, but this silence really got me even more awkward. I opened my lips, hesitating to let out the words.

"Thank you."

Aomine-kun looked at me. I stared into his dark blue orbs, and said it once again, "Thank you for the earlier."

"No problem," he said, "Say, Aoki."

"Hmm?"

"Don't you dare make me scared like that next time," he said then averted his gaze from me. The same worried face as earlier. I widened my eyes. No, I don't want to him to have an expression like that. I don't want too see his worried face ever again. I don't want to make him worry.

"Yes, I'm sorry, Aomine-kun."

Right at that time, the ramen we had ordered were served to our table. After mumbling some 'thank you' and 'itadakimasu', I called him.

"Hm? What's wrong Aoki?"

"Can… I call you Ao-kun? You can just call me Ao too if you want?"

"Ha? Why all of the sudden?"

"I think it's funny if we call each other with the same, I call you Ao, and you call me Ao."

Aomine-kun began to eat his ramen, "Do whatever you want, Aoki."

I smiled, "Okay, thanks Ao-kun."

*Ojii-san=uncle, often used to call the owner of the stall or shop.
