Chapter Ten: Daniel's Truth Part Two

Shun's POV

"Dan you're awake" I said shocked that he woke up as soon as I said I love him "yeah, what happened?" he asked trying to sit up which I advised him not to do. "I'll find a nurse and tell them you're awake, just stay here and don't get out of bed" I said and he nodded before I walked out of the room.

"What's the problem sir?" the nurse from before asked me surprising me since I didn't know she was behind me, I turned around and saw the blue eyes from this morning. "There's nothing wrong, I was just going to inform a nurse that Dan's awake" I said shocking her before she smiled.

She put her hand on my left shoulder before saying she'll inform Dr. Melanoma for me making me nod before I headed back into the room. I walked into the room to see Dan was looking out the window and I saw that the sun was just beginning to rise.

It was beautiful and Dan agreed without me saying anything and without turning to me before he said it, when he did he had on a breathtaking smile. "Yes it is, you had other visitors yesterday you know not just the Brawlers" I said and he nodded with a sad smile "I know I heard everything they said before not hearing anything at all until I woke up" he told me and I nodded.

"Do you have a pen?" he asked me and I was confused until I looked beside him to see he had the papers from the kids next to him on the bed making me smile. "Yeah here" I said giving him a red and green striped fountain pen making him smile at me "you know my favorite colors way too well" he said making me smile as well.

"Is that a bad thing?" I asked making him chuckle slightly before he took the pen "no it isn't, not in the least" he told me before he started grading the papers. After a few minutes later the doctor came in asking how Dan was doing and ignoring my presence in the room.

"I'm fine thank you Dr. Melanoma" he said placing the pen down before the Doctor grabbed out a stethoscope and placed it over Dan's heart. "That's good, how was your rest?" he asked moving a light over Dan's eyes "very well" he answered him.

"That's good to hear, breathe in… and breathe out" the Doctor said and Dan complied wincing on some parts when the Doctor put pressure on a broken rib which is an expected result. "Okay it seems everything is fine except for the broken ribs of course, I do expect you to eat though Daniel" he told Dan who nodded before asking him about the hospital bill.

"You don't have to worry about that Daniel, you helped on the Abroad Program with my father and that's enough payment" he said and I was confused before he left. "Abroad Program?" I asked and he nodded "I'll tell you about it when everyone's here" he told me and I nodded before he went back to grading papers.

After twenty more minutes filled with comfortable silence Dan finished grading the papers which didn't take long at all "how'd they do?" I asked and he said they did well before handing them to me so I could see for myself. Kise got an 84%, Morikawa got an 80%, and Daisuke got an 82% which were all really good because that means Kise and Daisuke got a 'B' while Morikawa got a 'B-' which are all passing grades.

"When are you going to tell them?" I asked and he looked sad for a minute before I volunteered to making him quickly decline but I told him he has no choice in the matter making him relent. "Where's Drago?" he asked me and I wondered that to before I heard Drago say 'over here' and it was coming from the side table before we looked over to see him behind the lamp.

"Were you asleep till now?" I asked when he showed himself and he nodded before the laptop rung for a reason I don't know. I walked over and opened it to see it was a chain call from Marucho, Julie, and Runo which was weird but I accepted the call and the screen showed Marucho on the top left, Julie on the top right, and Runo on the bottom.

"Why'd you guys call?" I asked and they were surprised "we didn't know you were there still" Marucho said making me sigh. "Why did you call?" I asked again because I'm quite sure they don't know he's awake yet and that even though he is he couldn't have answered.

"We were thinking someone could've been in the room to tell us if Dan was awake or not" Julie said and I could tell she was still surprised I was here so early. "Why are you in his hospital room so early?" Runo asked in confusion making me sigh because I was tired of answering so many questions in a row so early in the morning.

"Shun? Is that Marucho, Julie, and Runo?" Dan asked making the others gasp at the familiar tone "when did Dan wake up?" Julie asked not asking if that was actually Dan beforehand. "About an hour ago, I was going to tell you as soon as he was allowed to have visitors" I said making Runo ask again why I was here so early.

"I fell asleep on accident and a nurse told me I could stay overnight" I said and they nodded before Dan and Drago asked if I informed my grandfather about it and I shook my head 'no' because I didn't. "You should call him Shun" Marucho said and I sighed because this was starting to tire me out now.

I nodded taking my leave outside the room to make the call, I dialed the number as soon as I shut the door and surprisingly it didn't take the second ring to get him to answer which means he was waiting for me to call. "Shun! Where have you been?!" he yelled making me shrug and yawn "at the hospital, I fell asleep in Dan's hospital room and forgot to call to tell you that a nurse let me stay overnight" I told him making him grumble something.

It was similar to 'ungrateful brat' or 'forgetful grandson' and I'm guessing it's the second one since there was nowhere in the sentence that said I was ungrateful but said I was forgetful. "You'll have to call your girlfriend you know" he told me confusing me since I thought I told him that I broke up with Alice "I thought I said I broke up her?" I asked him and he said he knows but he forgot her name.

"Are you alright grandpa?" I asked making him say he's fine in an angry tone which would've made me laugh if it wasn't for the fact he won't admit he's getting older. "I'll call Alice in a minute" I told him and he told me that I better before he hung up.

I dialed Alice's number and she answered on the second ring "hello Shun thanks for calling" she said when she answered the phone making me chuckle. "Yes I woke up about an hour ago and was busy for a while after" I told her confusing her from her asking what I meant.

"Dan woke up, I had to tell a nurse about it, watched the Doctor check Dan over, watched Dan grade papers from yesterday, answer a chain call from Marucho, Julie, and Runo, answered their questions, and then had to call my grandfather" I answered her. "That is a lot, how is he?" she asked making me smile "he's fine, well except for the broken ribs he still has" I said hearing her sigh I relief.

"That's good to hear, well except for the bones but that's to be expected" she said and I nodded before she asked if she could be able to come by now to see him. I said she could if the nurses and Doctor say she can, she said she would be there soon before we said our goodbyes and hung up.

I walked back inside the room to see Dan laughing which made me smile "hey Shun, how'd your grandfather take the news?" Marucho asked me and I shrugged before I sat down in the chair I fell asleep in so many times already. "He grumbled 'forgetful grandson' before telling me to call Alice but he forgot her name" I said and they nodded, Dan and Marucho sweat dropped when I said that though.

"Alice is going to try and see if she can visit as well" I said making Dan smile at me "when she does arrive though you're telling them everything Daniel" Drago said making Dan frown before he nodded. "I will" he said before smiling at Drago who was looking at him the whole time before he stopped when Dan said that to ask me when I think she'll be here.

"I would say around fifteen minutes" I said before he nodded and we waited for thirteen minutes before Alice walked in. "Trista? What are you doing here?" I heard Dan ask when the nurse from before accompanied Alice into the room.

"Who's Trista?" I asked and he told us that she's Mrs. Lily Carbuckle's daughter, Mrs. Carbuckle is an English teacher at our school and Dan's Indian English teacher. "I'm glad you remember me, my mom says good things about you along with Mrs. Henrietta" she said and I think she's talking about the school's History teacher Mrs. Henderson.

"I'm glad they say good things about me, when you go to school next Monday could you tell them I won't be in school for a while?" Dan asked and she nodded saying she will. "Well I have to go Dan, see you later" she told him and he nodded smiling at her before she left the room.

"Daniel?" Drago asked I think telling him that it was time to tell us now "where do you want me to start?" he asked and we told him to start from the beginning. "At first, two years before Mechatanium Surge, when we were in New Vestroia my mom got into the habit of drinking" he said and I could tell this wasn't something he wanted to recount at all.

"When we got back my mom continued the habit every time I went to brawl somewhere whether it was with you guys or Carrie and Atticus" he said before Runo asked who they were. "Carrie's a cashier at Attribute which is a Bakugan shop in town that I normally go to while Atticus is her little brother" he told us and we nodded.

"After defeating Mechtogan Zenthon my mom got more worried that I wouldn't make it the next time I brawled so she took my Bakugan away" he told us shocking all of us before he continued. "Runo and I started dating that week but she never once asked to hang out with me" he said making us glare at her and she scuffed which made Dan laugh.

"Why did you leave after that though?" Runo asked even though she didn't seem to want to talk about it "I had signed up for Teacher/Learning Abroad Program in out Junior year that was supposed to start in June" he told us before continuing. "My parents blamed themselves for the break up so when they learned about the program being the next day they packed up my stuff and booked the next flight to Beijing, China where the program commenced" he told us and we nodded glad that he told us.

"I was glad I got to go and not just because I got the experience I needed to become a student teacher" he said with a small frown before continuing. "I also got away from my mom's abuse and their fights" he said and we all nodded before Marucho asked why he never told us.

"When I arrived at school I did think about it but figured you wouldn't have time to bother with, plus you couldn't have fixed it if I told you" he answered with a sad tone making me ask why he would think that. "Shun and Alice were dating and I didn't want to ruin that in some way, Runo was being a jerk, and Julie and Marucho are in different countries" he said looking at his lap when he spoke.

He wasn't wrong about them being in different countries since Julie moved to Dubbo, Australia so her parents could set up shop there in the shopping centers they have there. Marucho is in Lautoka, Viti Levu located in the Fijin Archipelago because there are few brawlers because of the lack of Bakugan shops and stadiums there.

"And the reason you're in the hospital now?" Runo asked wanting to get to the point apparently which was rude but Dan complied. "I didn't eat for about six days and the last four my parents were arguing about stuff" he told us making me frown.

"What kind of stuff?" I asked making him sigh "getting a 'B' on a History test, me getting a student teacher check for teaching the students about Bakugan" he answered before he continued. "Not eating at school making Shun's grandfather call her and the one yesterday about there being only alcohol in the fridge and no food" he said making me mad at his parents.

"That's about it when it comes to my life at home so is there any questions?" Dan asked and we all shook our heads making Dan smile of all things. "Drago can you get the picture from my jacket?" Dan asked him and Drago nodded saying 'yes Daniel' in an excited tone.

"Can the rest of you leave? This is only for Shun" Dan asked shocking me since I didn't think he would ask that. They all nodded before Alice left and the others ended the call, by that time Dan had the drawing he asked Drago to get.

"This is a picture I drew the day Runo broke up with me" he told me before handing me the picture, I unfolded it before I could see what it's a drawing of. When I did my heart clenched, the picture was of Runo with her back turned with her hand up as if she's saying goodbye.

What made my heart clench though was not that but Dan's face in the bottom left corner of the drawing. His hair covered his left eye, since that's the only part of his face that's visible, and you could see tears coming from the covered eye.

"Why are you smiling in this if you're crying?" I asked making him smile at me "because I was happy that she did despite not being able to be with you" he told me making my heart stop at the words he just uttered. "What are you saying Dan?" I asked cursing myself when my voice became high pitched when I said his name.

"Come here and I'll tell you" he told me and I gulped before I nodded walking over "closer" he told me when I sat down in the chair beside the bed again. I stood up and walked closer but I couldn't react fast enough when he grabbed my wrist making me fall on top of him.

I looked up about to scold him for it before I was silenced when his lips connected with mine "that's why I said it" he told me when we parted a few seconds later. "What does that mean?" I asked making him laugh at me "you're supposed to be smart but you don't even know what that means" he told me in between laughs.

"I know what it means…" I said looking away with a blush "then tell me" he dared me and I looked at him seeing him smirking at me. "I don't want assume something when it may or may not be true" I mumbled before he told me to because the answer is universal.

"It means you like me right?" I said before I heard him sigh, I really hope I wasn't wrong. "Wrong" he said and my heart stopped out of fear just from that one word "it mean 'I love you' not 'I like you' Shun" he said before my heart beat quickened.

"I-I-I love you to Dan" I mumbled before he asked what I said but from his tone I know he heard me but I repeated it anyway. "I love you to Dan" I said with a blush when I looked up "I'm glad you feel the same Shun" he told me and I nodded.

Time Skip: I few weeks later

I've been visiting Dan every day that he's been in the hospital, and I was told that he was able to leave today so I was glad. Mrs. Henderson and Mrs. Carbuckle heard what happened between Dan and his family so they convinced them to take up marriage counseling to get over what ever has them fighting so much.

Let's just say they won't stop and it's just a hard habit to break so Dan'll be living with grandfather and I for a while till the habit is broken. I reached his door and opened it to see him grabbing his bag, his complexion and situation has gotten better over the weeks and now he's back to how he looked before all this stuff with his parents.

"Hey Shun, I'm ready to go when you are" he told me kissing my cheek making my ears go red when I walked up to him. "Let's just go" I said taking his bag and he nodded before we left to go home.

Time Skip: six years later Third Person's POV

Daniel Kuso had graduated college with Shun Kazami one year ago today, June 16, and became a teacher with Shun as a famous artist. Today though instead of celebrating a new life for the both of them they're sitting down on a Beliani Round Sectional in the house they bought as soon as they graduated high school.

They were watching Royal Pains as a marathon together when Shun pulled something out of his pocket disturbing Dan who was comfortably laying on Shun's chest. "Hey what's that?" Dan asked with a curious look on his otherwise tired face "open it and find out" Shun said handing the small black box to him.

"Open it and read it after you open the box then speak, but not before either" Shun said and Dan was suspicious but did as he was told. When he opened it he found an Enchant Halo Diamond Engagement Ring-Platinum inside of the box. He didn't mention how confused he was, despite his racing heart at the engagement ring, because Shun said to read the note and not say anything till he does read it.

He opened the note and read it before tears filled his eyes and he nodded saying 'yes' before wrapping his arms around Shun's neck and kissed him. "That's good, I'm glad to hear it" Shun said laughing at the man, none of them noticed the piece of paper fall message up displaying the mentioned message:

I hope you like it, say you'll marry me and it's yours.

The note read, it was written in black ink but it looked very similar to the text Informal Roman. (1 )

A/N: Hello, I finished writing this on paper at 11:05 P.M. on July 14, 2016. I had thought I needed more time but apparently I was wrong, I don't like that this is about thirteen pages on the notepad I'm using but oh well. I'm upset about it because I had wanted to write fifteen to make up for the five pages I missed on a few chapters.

1) I wasn't sure whether I should say it was written in Informal Roman, BlackadderITC, or Freestyle Script but Informal Roman looked less messy. My favorite text on Word though is Harlow Solid Italic.

I hope you like this chapter and story but it is now complete. So I am going to post a new story this on bein Star Wars Rebels fanfic this time.
