OoOoOo
Misaki and Akihiko are riding in the red sports car, heading back to the condo. They were just leaving the restaurant, where they had their date.
Misaki spoke," That was a pretty good date tonight. I'm glad you agreed to pick something normal, not fancy."
Akihiko looked over at his lover, and he smiled. "Anything for you, Misaki."
Misaki smiled back and looked out the window. The red sports car stopped at a red light, and people started walking across the crosswalk. Misaki watched as those people made their way across. When the light turns green, Akihiko stepped on the accelerator, making the car move forward. Just as they were about to make they way through the green light, they saw another car coming from their left.
Misaki paniced and screamed," USAGI-SAN, WATCH OUT!"
Akihiko looked to see another heading straight towards them. He quickly undid Misaki's seatbelt and pulled him back next to him before the other car hit them. When the car crashed, the force pushed the two lovers back. Misaki crashed into his lover's chest while Akihiko crashed into the window, hitting his head hard against it, glass shattering. Misaki opened eyes and glanced up at Akihiko, who is now unconscious.
He called," Usagi-san... are you alright...? Usagi-san?"
Akihiko didn't respond to his question. Then Misaki felt something dripping down on his shoulder. He reached his hand up to touch his shoulder and held it up to his face to find red substance on his hand. That's when he realized that it's blood. He ripped off his shirt to check for shoulder wound but there's no cut. He felt another drip and he looked up at his lover, only to realize that it's Akihiko's blood. He crawled up on his lover til he is eye-level.
He placed his hand on his cheek and cried," Usagi-san, please stay with me." Akihiko fluttered his eyes open. "Yes, that's right. Please, look at me. Whatever you do, please don't die on me."
Akihiko closed his eyes and lost consciousness. Misaki passed out as soon as he heard sirens blaring.
OoOoOo
Beep... beep... beep...
Misaki woke up to the sounds of beeping machines. He fluttered his eyes open and looked around to see that he's in a hospital bed. Just as he was about to get up, a voice said," Take it easy. Rest."
Misaki turned his head to see a doctor with blueish-black hair and blue eyes, standing next to his bed. He asked," Who are you? What happened?"
"My name is Dr. Nowaki. You were in a car accident last night." Nowaki told him. "You only had cuts and bruises. That was one big gash you have on your arm."
Misaki looked down at his right arm, noticing that it's covered in bandages. He carefully sat up with the help of Nowaki, and looked around the room, only to find that Akihiko is not in the room with him.
He felt fear taking over him, and he questioned the young doctor," Where's Usagi-san?"
Nowaki looked at him confused. "Who?"
"Where is he? Where the hell is Akihiko?" Misaki asked, with sad eyes.
Nowaki gave the boy a small smile. "He is put in a different room, and don't worry, he's fine."
Misaki let out a sigh in relief. "Thank goodness, he's alright. How is he?"
Nowaki frowned as he says this. "It's hard for me to say this, but I don't think Akihiko is going to wake up today or tomorrow. Or the day after."
"What do you mean?"
Nowaki gave the boy a sad look. "He's in coma."
Misaki felt his blood run cold at the news and his breath hitched. "C-coma? H-how...?"
"In the car crash, Akihiko hit his head on the window and recieved head trauma from this. Soon as the paramedics got him to the hospital, they reported that there's no brain activity going on. His heartbeat is still going and his brain went on standby. He's in a level 14 coma." Nowaki explained to Misaki.
Misaki asked," Is that bad?"
Nowaki smiled. "Actually, it's a good thing. It means that he's in a mild coma, nothing severe. The coma scale is actually set backwards. Level 15 is a mild coma and level 3 is a severe coma. Does that make sense?"
Misaki nodded. "Do you know when he'll wake up?"
Nowaki replied, "I'm not sure when he'll wake up from this state, but I'm predicting that he might in about a year or so. We're not very certain. Also, he lost a lot of blood so we have to give him a blood transfusion."
Then a man with black hair and glasses appeared in the doorway.
"Misaki, thank goodness you're alright."
"Nii-san." Misaki responded, looking at his older brother.
Takahiro went over to his younger brother's side and pulled him into a tight hug. Misaki hugged him back, tears forming in his eyes. Takahiro released his brother from the embrace, noticing the tears in his green eyes.
Misaki asked," Did you hear about Akihiko's... condition...?"
"Yes, I know. Akihiko is in coma. I'm sorry to hear that." Takahiro replied, looking at him with pity. "If you want, you could stay with me in Osaka."
Misaki shook his head. "I think I'll be fine staying at the condo."
"Are you sure? Manami and I could-"
"I just needed some time to think." Misaki interrupted. "With a tragic event like this, I just don't know what to do anymore."
Takahiro nodded in understanding. Just as he was about to leave, he told Misaki, "Just let me know if you do want to live with me. Alright?"
Misaki nodded, giving him a reassuring smile. Takahiro smiled back and left the room. Nowaki checked over his clipboard and he said," I'll check on you later on in the morning. For now, just rest. You'll be leaving this hospital tomorrow in the evening."
With that, he left the room, leaving the boy in his own thoughts.
Misaki thought,' Another repeat of a car accident. First my parents and now Usagi-san. What am I going to do now? I'm all alone and I couldn't afford living in the condo by myself since Usagi-san is rich. At least I could have some peace and quiet for once... without Usagi-san...'
The thought of being alone without Akihiko suddenly bought the boy to tears. Misaki sobbed until he went back to sleep.
OoOoOo
Aikawa opened the door of the Usami condo, saying," Here we are, Misaki-kun. Home sweet home!"
"Thank you for the ride home, Aikawa." Misaki responded, entering the condo.
Aikawa smiled. "Anytime. Well, I got to get going. I'll remember to check up on you every week. See you later, Misaki."
"Bye, Aikawa." Misaki waved.
Soon as he is finally alone, Misaki went to the living room and lied down on the couch next to Suzuki-chan. He whispered to the bear," Looks like it's me and you now... until Usagi-san wakes up from his unconscious state."
The bear says nothing but stare into space. Misaki sat up and hugged the bear close to himself, smelling his lover's scent.
He whispered," Suzuki-chan smells like Usagi-san", smelling the bear.
He lied back down on the couch and fell asleep, holding the bear.
OoOoOo
Poor Misaki. What's a boy to do without his lover? Who knows when Akihiko might wake up. It will be a long time. Since I learned about the coma scale, I'm not sure how long a level 14 coma would last. I guess it all depends on the state. Reviews please.
