Toshiya closed his eyes, resting his head on the grass. It felt so good, but then he screamed as somebody tickled him on his ears. He opened his eyes quickly and… "Kaoru! what are you trying to do?!" he pouted but held Kaoru’s arm tightly. The older man grinned and placed a kiss on his forehead.

"Trying to wake you up" Kaoru sat beside him, "But I wasn’t sleeping! I was waiting for Die! Where’s that baka?!" Toshiya looked around. The pink head laughed, "You call everyone baka, why?"

"Becoz I’m the only smart one? I think I am!" Toshiya grinned. Kaoru covered Toshiya’s face with his small palm, "Silly Toshiya…" the bassist wanted to protest but Kaoru was faster. He shut the younger one up with a kiss. Toshiya, satisfied with that, sighed and leaned on Kaoru’s chest.

"Ma, Die’s getting a bit too long!" Toshiya pouted and looked up, "He’s gone to bathroom to wash his hands!" Kaoru shrugged, ‘Maybe he goes up to see Shinya!" the younger one shook his head, "No! The nurse said we’re not allowed to, until lunch time!" Kaoru joined his eyebrows, "You mean…"

"The doc is checking on Shinya, something to do with his back, I think" Toshiya spoke, unsure. Kaoru nodded, "I think maybe Die goes to see Shinya!" Toshiya fumed, "But-" Kaoru took his hands, "Come on Totchi, you know how Die is…"

Toshiya thought for a while, "Then we should go up too?" Kaoru nodded, "Hai" they got up and Toshiya was pulling Kaoru’s hand but the older one stopped him, "No! Let’s use the lift back there. Yoshiki told me less people use the one there! There must be lots of people in the lobby ne?" Toshiya let his lover pulled his hand and giggled, "Eh, my baka-chan isn’t baka anymore…"

Kaoru pouted, "I’m never baka anyway…"

"Yes you were! Now you’re only an old man!" Toshiya replied cheerfully.

"Konnichiwa Die-kun. And don’t give me such a look, please…"

Die narrowed his eyes more, and the person in front of him walked closer, "I know you don’t want to see me…" the red head took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"Alisa, -what-are-you-doing-here?!" he hissed. The woman smiled, "You don’t think I follow you here do you?" she looked at him from head to toes, "I have to admit you still look good, and I’m happy to see you" Die put up an annoyed smile. "Hm, but I also have to say that you don’t really look…healthy?"

Die sighed and looked at her, "You haven’t answered my question" the woman pouted, and stood right in front of him, "My friend was in an accident, and I’m visiting! Today is Friday! But it’s a bit ironic, I got her place" she shrugged. Die joined his eyebrows. Alisa smiled.

"She was supposed to be in a show, but now that she has to get stuck in here, I’m the one going to New York!" she exclaimed happily. Die raised an eyebrow, "Such a nice friend you are, Alisa!"

The woman pouted, "She’s a rival. I’m just here for the formalities!" she looked around. "Anyway…what are –you- doing here?" Die swore he saw the glint in her eyes. That glint…Alisa’s glint. And the way she smiled, the way she stared at him, Die knew that Alisa should know the answer!

"Why are you asking?" he turned away. Alisa laughed, "Funny. Coz you asked me, so it’s normal for me to ask back ne?" the woman smiled, "You don’t wanna tell me?" Die glared at her. "Oh, come on! I’m just trying to be friendly here!" she pouted.

Die closed his eyes and muttered, "Such a nice friend you are, Alisa…nice to meet you!" he turned his body, but as he walked Alisa pulled his arm, "Matte!!! I know why you’re here!"

Die joined his eyebrows, and turned back to face her, "What do you mean?"

She smiled teasingly, "You’re visiting a friend right? Or maybe you’re not feeling so well so yo come here! Ne, this is too far from your apartment! You must be visiting a friend!" Die rolled his eyes, ‘I have no time for this, sayonara…"

"Shinya!"

Die froze. Alisa crossed her arms and stared at his back, "How’s he?" the red head closed his eyes, "He-he’s fine…"

"Liar!"

"Alisa!!! What are you talking about?!!!" she almost screamed as Die suddenly turned back and grabbed her arm hard. Die bit his lip and glared at her, "Don’t you dare saying things about him!" the woman joined her eyebrows, "No! I didn’t say anything about him! I was just asking! How’s Shinya?! the pretty one"

Die tensed up, "He’s fine" he hissed. (I wonder what will happen if Shinya sees Die holding Alisa’s arm-L7 but it won’t go that way -__-) Alisa pouted and pulled her arm, "The pretty one, who took you away from me!"

Die sighed and rubbed the area between his eyes. Alisa shot him a sympathetic stare. "I don’t know what’s happened to him, but he doesn’t look so well! No wonder you look so tired and unhealthy Die-kun" she softened her voice, as if trying to soothe him. Die’s heart skipped a beat, his mind spun around trying to digest what she had just said.

"Well, the cuts aren’t that deep, and the wounds will heal, I’m sure…" she smiled kindly. Die looked at her confusedly. He knew nothing but the hopes in her eyes, hopes for the wounds and cuts to heal. Noticing the weird stare, Alisa laughed, "Die-kun, I’ve let you go…I’m happy with my life now…"

Die felt his feet moved, walking towards the woman, "He looks so pale, and he can’t really walk as fast as normal people do, but I think he’ll be fine!" Alisa patted his shoulder, "Don’t worry ne?" she smiled again, sympathetically. Die narrowed his eyes, "What on earth are you talking about?!"

Alisa joined her eyebrows, "What-what are you-I was…"

"DON’T spread any gossips here Alisa! I warn you! you talk as if you’ve seen him before! And all those crap about wishing him to get well soon?! What do you want?!" Die was reaching to the point of yelling at her.

Alisa felt him getting tensed up more…and she knew something was wrong.

"Die-kun, I-"

"I don’t want to hear anymore! If anything happens, I will never forgive you!!!" Die hissed and pulled her arm, hard. She screamed at the sudden reaction and quickly pushed him aside. Alisa stared at him weirdly, "What’s gotten into you Diekun?!" the red head glared at her.

"What do you mean by spreading gossips?! I don’t do those things you know that! And about Shinya, I was just trying to make you feel better! He will heal one day, no need to get all tense up and angry at me!" Alisa adjusted her blouse, "And I DID see him just now!"

Die’s heart jumped and it was starting to beat faster and faster…

"Don’t fool around with me about Shinya!"

"I’m NOT!!!" she was hysterical, "Can’t you trust me?! I DID see him! Near the cafetaria!" she pointed at some certain direction, "Or else how the heck do I know about how he looks?! All the wounds, the little cuts…and the way he walks?!" she bit her lip, "Is it –that- hard for you to trust me?!!!" she blinked in surprise as Die took her arm.

"What did you say?"

"I- I saw him…but he didn’t seem to see me, and I didn’t dare to greet him…coz…h-he looks so-so pale and weird! Like, he doesn’t see people around him…like he’s the only one around!" Alisa noted the weird expression on Die’s face. Like he was so shock about it!

"Die…?"

There was no reply. Die was thinking hard, really hard. Shinya…Shinya walking around?! In the hospital?! He looked at Alisa, but how could he trust her?! She might be lying!

 

But you know when Alisa lies to you ne? And you know she isn’t lying to you right now! Then Shinya…he’s…awake?!!!

Die’s eyes lit up.

"Shinya…" he whispered, and all the delight and relief and bliss washed over him, "Shinya! He’s…awake?!" Die smiled and looked at Alisa, who looked at him quizzically. The red head gasped in surprise and held her arms, "Arigato!!!" and she blinked,

"Welcome…?"

Die bit his lip, and glanced at his watch. Almost lunch time, and maybe that was why the doc was checking on him ne? He’s AWAKE!!! He felt like wanting to kiss the person in front of him, but maybe it was better not to, and as he was walking to towards the lift-

"DIE!!!"

The red head turned and saw Kaoru.

"Kaoru! Hey! Shinya! he’s awake! Alisa saw him walking around! Can you believe that?! It’s so amazing!" Die held Kaoru’s shoulders and spurt out the words. The older man stared at him, and it took Die a long while to notice how tensed and how pale Kaoru looked. And he was also panting.

Kaoru held Die’s arms

"Die, Shinya’s gone…"
