GRAVITY 51

Shinya walked pass few nurses, who looked at him weirdly. Shinya stopped when one of them exclaimed, "Hey! You…room 604!" she flipped her notes quickly and the others stared. "What’s your name…Terachi Shinya…"
"La, sounds familiar…"
Shinya tilted his head to a side and walked away. The drummer shut his eyes, took a deep breath and disappeared from the nurses’ sight. The five nurses looked at his retreating back and looked at each other, "He’s so shy…kawaii ne…" they laughed, "Demo, do you know what happened to him?"
"Ah, some fight? That’s what head nurse told me. Have you seen the big cut on his back?! I was there the other day, trying to clean the wound, and his face was so full of pain! But he was in a fight, so he kind of deserves it!"
"Hm, but still…poor boy. He’s young ne?"
"I’ve seen him before…"
"Ahhh…urusai! It sounds like some pick up line ‘I’ve seen you before ne? if you tell me your name, I might remember’ that’s so not funny!"
"But I did see him somewhere!"

Kyo put his hands in the pocket and walked slowly beside the doctor, who did the same. The older man had just told him what Shinya wanted him to do, and the possible reasons why Shinya wanted to do so. And Kyo seemed shock, by everything. He kept asking why, how come…
"Kyo-kun…I can’t do anything because Shinyakun has the right to do so. It’s part of the relationship, between doctors and patients, especially when Shinya’s parents are in it. They don’t want Die-kun to get into troubles, and Yoshikisan-"
"Yoshiki knows about this?!" Kyo asked, surprised. The doc winced, "Ah, slipped. Well, hai. Because Yoshikisan is kind of, responsible becoz he promised his parents to take a good care of Shinyakun" the doc noticed that strange look on Kyo’s face. But he wasn’t going to ask. "Yoshiki-san said Die might do something stupid…"
Kyo thought for a while, "Hm. Yeah, when it comes to Shinya, he talks with his emotion, and ego actually. But I’m surprised Die has changed so much since he was dumped" Kyo shrugged. The older man looked interested, "Eh? Dumped?" Kyo touched his lips, "You don’t know? Well…Shinya dumped him, and Die learned things about life and love…and being a better person"
Yoshida-san smiled, "That’s good" Kyo nodded, "I’m proud of Die. And they were in the process of getting back together, when this stupid small creature let his passion controlled his mind and…" Kyo gripped his shirt tightly, "Well, it happened. And it came as a big shock to us"
The doctor fell silent, thinking. Wondering, "Ano…are you all used to it?" Kyo looked at him, "I mean…" the doc blushed. Kyo smiled, "You mean the whole thing about Die going out with Shinya?" the older man smiled.
"Well, it comes naturally…"
"So does Kaoru-kun and that young man, the pretty one…right?" the doc looked at Kyo, who nodded and laughed, "Toshiya. Yes, Kaoru and Toshiya. Those two…" Kyo smiled.
"How about you?"
Kyo’s face turned serious. Me? How about me? The singer pouted, "I don’t wanna go there…" he spoke uncomfily so the doc raised both hands, "Okay, let’s stop then" they stopped right in front of a window, and both men looked at the direction of the garden, where children played and patients walked around.
"Is Kaoru-kun really close with Die?" Yoshida asked, suddenly. Kyo nodded, "Pretty much. They are the older ones, they should get along better. Why?"
"Because Die always looks for Kaoru-kun…whatever happens, and it must be hard for Kaoru-kun to keep this from him too! I mean, Die trusts him but Kaoru can’t say anything"
Kyo’s eyes lit up in seconds. Kaoru? He knew about this? The doctor noticed, "Why? do you think he’ll be in trouble with Die?" he asked, a bit worried. Kyo shook his head, "By the time Die actually sees Shinya walking around the hospital he’ll forget his own name"
"But it’s not Die Kaoru should be worrying about, and I’m sure he’s not worried about Die!" Kyo spoke convincingly. The doctor nodded, and thought for a while. Then he got it all, "Oh, I think I get it"
Kyo nodded, "Hai, Toshiya…Kaoru will be in a really deep trouble"
It’s just a bit unfair for Toshiya…Kaoru, you should know it!

"Kaoru seems so distant these days! I don’t know what’s gotten into him…" Toshiya hugged his legs and placed his chin on his knee. Die threw a sympathetic look, "Maybe this affects him too, you know. This affects everyone!" the red head, who lay on the grass, reached out touching Toshiya’s hand. The younger one smiled, "I shouldn’t be complaining…You have your won problem ne…I’m sorry"
Die sighed and rolled over, "Like I’ve said Totchi, I’m used to it now" Toshiya joined his eyebrows, "Don’t get it?" the bassist shook his head, "Shinya’s been in coma for so long! I wake up everyday in the hospital, doing nothing except mourning about it. Then I go to sleep at night, in that room with him, and the last thing I think about is him!"
Toshiya bit his lip.
"Every single day, Toshiya…and I’m wondering if I’m gonna spend my whole life doing this…" Die’s eyes stared at some certain window of a room in sixth floor. He had counted, room one, two, three, 604. that’s the room!
Toshiya kicked Die’s arm, "Don’t say that! Who knows you might see Shinya later, running around the hospital?!" (not exactly Totchi-L7 J ) the red head laughed, "Yeah, right! Then today will be the happiest day of my life!" he touched his nose, and frowned.
"Ano, I think I should go and wash my hands…they stink of something…like grass?!" Die got up and offered his hand to Toshiya, "You wanna come?" the bassist looked up, stared at the handsome face and shook his head, "Iie. I wanna stay here, for a while" he took out his phone, "I’m calling Kaoru, so go away!" he pouted. Die laughed and waved him goodbye.
Toshiya placed the phone near his ear and waited, watching Die’s back slowly disappeared into the building. "Moshi-moshi…Kao-chan…where are you? eh? On the way here? Cool! Meet me er…" Toshiya looked around, "Ano…the garden. Well, do you now where-you do? Hai, hai, the place Die goes for smoke" the bassist examined his manicured nails, "Hai, okay. Ja! I love you too" Toshiya smiled and hung up.

Die wiped his hands with the napkins and threw them into the bin. A man entered the bathroom and nodded to him, so he nodded back. He walked out the bathroom and walked across the lobby, heading towards the garden. But then Die looked at his watch, thinking about Shinya. he looked around, and spotted how many people waiting for the lifts. The red head sighed, it wasn’t even lunch time yet.
"Go get Totchi first then see Shinchan" he mumbled.
The lobby was quite full, but it didn’t really bother Die, coz the building was really big, with a huge lobby. And people were sitting, possibly waiting for- he didn’t know. Anything. The guitarist brushed his hair, speeding up. But then he stopped, as somebody called his name.
Such a familiar voice, soft…polite…
Die joined his eyebrows, wanting to look, finding out who it was. But something in him told him not to! Why?
"Die-kun…"
He turned around, and…
"YOU!!!"
