After a moment of struggle, fighting through the strong dizziness in his head, Akashi opens his eyes slowly. He squints his eyes a second later due to the bright light from the ceiling.

Something then blocks the source of light from blinding his still sensitive eyes, enabling him to see properly.

He can now see there's drapes hanging by the bed he's laying in, and something, or to be precise someone, is standing in front of him, someone in a white coat.

"You must be the doctor, I presume?" He asks the guy who is probably about the same age as he is, how unusual. Nonetheless, he's relieved he isn't by himself in this unfamiliar infirmary. Oddly, he can't remember how he ended up here.

The doctor nods and tells him to rest a bit more, before leaving in urgency, without explaining what has happened to him. What a rude young doctor. But at least he has enough courtesy to close the door gently.


Lunch time at school can be very, very annoying. A flock of students decide it's a good idea to chat with each other in the middle of the hallway. Then another group of girls and guys push each other teasingly, some guy is even trying to act cool to impress a girl he likes, and again, they are blocking the hallway.

"Excuse me." Midorima grunts shortly before forcing his way through.

He has wasted half of lunch time trying to get through the crowded school building to get to the school infirmary, where his captain is in right now, who might even have a temporary concussion.

He sighs in relief as he reaches his destination, he quickly pushes down the door knob. A guy laying down greets his sight, only he was expecting to see Akashi, not Haizaki laying down on a table in an empty science lab.

An angry vein forms in his temple, follows with a hit to his forehead. He has gone to the east of the school building instead of the west, where the infirmary is located. He slams the door close with a loud bang, waking up the second-year who was in deep sleep.


"I can't believe this! Where is that idiot!?"

Momoi has been walking back and forth backstage, making sure every single person is ready for their part. She even makes sure the costume is worn properly, especially a certain god with a long beard and a tall staff, even taller than Momoi.

"Tetsu-kun! You did good just now, as expected!" She beams a wide friendly smile, scowl and wrinkled eyebrows are now gone completely.

"Thank you, Momoi-san. This is the only reason I want to take part in this." Kuroko holds his staff and uses it for support. Having to show up in front of that large of an audience, with rope tied around his waist so he could float, exhausted him even more than the basketball practice menu, at least emotionally.

"My friends wanted to thank you again for helping them with their school projects, Tetsu-kun! I still can't believe you'd agree to it, even Aomine-kun too. But where is that idiot!?"

"I saw him walked out this room because he thought he was done with his part." Kuroko said quickly before he had to come back on-stage.

Before Momoi can storm out the room angrily in search for his careless, stupid friend, Aomine walks back into the room with a hand over his mouth.

She widens her eyes, worried he might've been in a fight or something. "Is everything okay, Aomine-kun?"

His body is now shaking, his face is red and tears threaten to fall from the corner of his eyes. "Won't believe it!"

"Are you laughing? Or perhaps crying? I can't tell! Start talking, Aomine-kun! You have to go back on-stage soon!" Momoi stomps her foot to get his attention. It didn't work. But at least Aomine is now standing up properly and starts taking deep breaths to calm himself down.

"You won't believe what just happened, Satsu-"

"No time, play your part!" Momoi pushes him out to where Kuroko and the others are already at.

Aomine doesn't get the play they're doing. What is the story about anyway, that it even needs a god, and him as a doctor. Someone's probably struggling with their illness or something. He shrugs, he's just a side character anyway, he's only there along with the other doctors to perform some sort of surgery with fake tools. He realized he still has the fake stethoscope around his neck.

Then something clicks.

"That's why he thinks I'm his freaking doctor." He blurts out, fortunately he's already backstage again.

"What do you mean? Did you see Akashi-kun? Is he doing okay?" Momoi starts raining him with questions. She won't forgive the reckless upperclassman who just barged in the basketball court and swung a bat, attempting to hit a basketball and make a basket that way, but accidentally hit Akashi, the captain of the basketball club, in the head. Akashi has been unconscious for almost five hours now, it's worrying.

"Yeah, he's fine. He lost his memory though. I think." His fingers play with the cold stethoscope on his chest, then it stings. Momoi hit his hand hard.

"And you thought it's funny!? Is that why you were laughing!?" Aomine is dumb founded and she is not going to wait around for his reply. She gets up and hurries to check on Akashi herself.

"Oi, calm down, geez. I asked the nurse and she said there's no internal bleeding or something. He'll recover soon." He follows the girl back into the infirmary. She still won't listen to him.

"Akashi-kun!" After knocking softly a few times on the door, she let herself in and finds Akashi sitting on the bed. For a second she thought he looked quite…clueless, until his mismatched eyes focus on her.

"Ah, and who are you?" It is now Momoi's turn to be dumb-founded.

Before she can respond, Aomine enters the room, and the boy's attention shifts to him. "Doctor, please don't leave me just like that again. I need to know what happened to me."

"Doctor?" Momoi questions Aomine, the latter shrugs, as in saying 'told you so'.

The redhead doesn't seem to be amused to be constantly ignored by the doctor, as his lips twitch, forming a frown. He crosses his hands in front of his chest. "I request a different doctor if I may, I don't like you and your attitude." If it wasn't for the cold glare Akashi is giving Aomine, he would've lost control and laughed.

"You, spoiled brat, I'm not your doctor. I'm not even a doctor, geez." He shoves his hands into the long white coat he's wearing. Akashi raises an eyebrow to that, and Aomine does the same.

"So are you just some doctor's brainless son, who walks around into a patient's room, pretending to be someone you wish to be?" A small smile tugs the corner of Akashi's lips upon hearing Aomine's low growl.

"Aomine-kun, stop." The tanned blunet stares at her in silent protest. Momoi continues. "Akashi-kun, you seem to have lost your memory. Oh, I really hope this will be temporary." She walks over to Akashi's bedside, and squeezes his shoulder gently. "Hello, I'm Momoi Satsuki. I'm the manager of the basketball club. And you, you're the captain of the club, Akashi-kun. And this idiot right here is Aomine-kun, he really isn't a doctor, neither a son of one. He was helping my friends with a school play and his role was a doctor."

Akashi nods, accepting the facts calmly, instead of the expected bewildered and frightened respond.

If Akashi is confused, he must be hiding it very well, because before the minute hasn't even passed from when Momoi is done introducing the two of them, Kuroko, still in his god costume walked into the room, his footsteps are accompanied with the sound of the staff hitting the floor.

"Akashi-kun, you're finally awake. How are you feeling?" Kuroko greets him. Kuroko might be smiling but Momoi can't really tell because of the long white beard covering his lower face.

"Aside from the headache, I'm fine, thanks for your concern. But, do I know you?" Akashi slightly raises both of his eyebrows apologetically.

Momoi admits it's an interesting scene playing before her eyes. For Akashi to make such an expression, it's been a while, after the emperor eye incident happened. Aomine tchs and looks away, she can't tell what the boy is thinking, but she can very well see the blush covering his ears.

After Kuroko the god introduced himself, three more of the trouble makers made it to the infirmary. Momoi is thankful they're in their normal school uniforms, otherwise she's afraid Akashi won't be able to take it anymore. She quickly introduced each one of the boys right when they enter the door, just so Akashi wouldn't feel bad to have to ask.

"Why are you wearing a doctor coat, Aominecchi? It really doesn't suit you."

"For someone whose grades are just as bad as mine, you have no right to say that, Kise." The blunet's head is still down facing the floor for whatever reason.

After repeatedly telling the boys that nothing serious happened to Akashi, they can start to relax and soon the room is filled with noises.

Midorima asks Kuroko about his costume, and before the latter can answer Midorima nods as if to approve that he goes as far as wearing the lucky item of the day because Aquarius ranks last today.

Murasakibara is offering the injured captain various snacks, while trying to convince him that eating something sweet will help him heal faster.

Kise demands Aomine to take off the white coat so he gets to wear it. He then fixes the collars and flips his hair, wearing a serious expression.

"You're trying too hard." Aomine just brushes it off. He isn't pleased of the fact that Kise did look smart for a second there.

Momoi shushes everyone and asks them to leave Akashi to rest as he is getting paler.

"Just get some more sleep and we'll be back here after class is over, okay, Akashi-kun?"

"Thank you, Momoi."

After helping the redhead lays back in the bed, Momoi makes it to the door as quiet as she can, then gives the boy a reassuring smile, before closing the door.

She then giggles to herself, "It's like I'm taking care of a little brother."

"Creepy, Satsuki." Momoi almost yelps when Aomine is suddenly right next to her.

"Oh? At least I didn't blush when Akashi-kun was making that cute face."

Momoi grins in satisfactory when Aomine mutters something incoherent while scratching his head and speeds up his pace. Victory is sweet.
