Gin: Requested by JulesTheOtaku . Enjoy~

(Your POV)

"That's it. Just a little further. You can do it."

You smiled as you opened the door to Yuuichi's room in the hospital. He was on the bars again with a nurse assisting him as he tried walking. Once Yuuichi reached the end you walked over to him to assist him.

"(Y/n)-chan! You're here!" he said with a bright-eyed smiled as you helped him get onto his wheelchair.

"You're doing great, Yuuichi-kun," you said and slowly pushed the wheelchair to his bed.

"I have to be. My operation is in a week," he said with a slight nervousness in his tone.

"You alright?" you bent own your knees to ask him.

"Y-yeah. I guess. I have to be. I will be," he said as he took a deep breath.

"I'm sure you'll be perfectly fine. Would you like to go outside?" you offered and stood up.

"That would be great," Yuuichi said as you slowly pushed the wheelchair and led him out the hospital grounds.

Today was weekend so you took this time to spend it with your closest friend. You, Yuuichi and his younger brother Kyousuke had been friends since you were kids. Yet you never thought you'd grow feelings for the elder one. You had always been there for him, showing him how much you care for him but you had never told him about how you feel. You thought, it is best that your relationship stays this way, as close friends.


(Yuuichi's POV)

What a lovely day. And just when I thought it couldn't get any lovelier, (Y/n) came to visit and she even offered to take me out for fresh air. It was really sweet of her. I wish I could tell her how I feel. That I love her more than just a friend. But I guess she wouldn't see me back that way. Besides, I think I won't be good enough for her. Man, someone so beautiful, sweet and caring like her deserves a guy way better than me. I guess it is best that our relationship stays this  way.

"There you are. I've been looking for you guys," a deep voice rang from behind us. I turned to see Kyousuke walking in our direction with hands in his pockets.

"Hi Kyousuke," (Y/n) greeted as she repositioned herself against the tree she was leaning onto.

"Hey, senpai. Glad to see you here," Kyousuke replied with his usual blank face.

"You're early. Don't you have soccer practice?" I asked.

"I wanted to see you early today so I excused myself from coach."

"I see. But you didn't have to do that. (Y/n)-chan was here anyway because it's weekend."

"Oh, right~ so, I should get going then?" Kyousuke almost said it sarcastically and I understood what he meant, making a droplet of sweat roll down the side of my face.

"Oh, no, Kyousuke. Do stay. I need to go anyways," (Y/n) said.

"You're leaving?" I ask.

"Yeah, I just remembered I still have a project I need to work on so I need to go home. My professor is very keen when it comes to projects," she had a finger on her chin and then walked away. "See you next time, Yuuchi, Kyousuke..."

"Okay, thanks for stopping by, (Y/n)," I said with a sad smile as I saw her wave goodbye and leave.

"Why don't you just tell her?" Kyousuke suddenly asked out of the blue and if I could walk I had probably jumped out of the wheelchair now in surprise.

"T-tell her what?"

"You know. That you love her," Kyousuke bluntly said as he leaned against the tree (Y/n) had left.

"Nah. Our relationship is fine. I don't have to tell her anything."

"Hm. Okay. But what if someone else confesses to her? What will you do then?"

I looked away, unable to answer that question. I secretly thought to myself, Kyousuke's right. What if somebody else asks (Y/n) out before I do? It's possible. She's beautiful. Smart. The perfect girlfriend. It would be easy for any guy to fall for her. I don't know what I'd do if she becomes the girlfriend of another guy.

(time skippu to Yuuichi's operation)

(Your POV)

The day had finally came. It was the day that Yuuichi will have to undergo operation and you were early as the wind at the hospital though the operation will still have to start at around nine. It has been an hour and you were outside the operating room, pacing back and forth and constantly shaking your hands, praying that Yuuichi's operation will succeed and that he'll be alright.

"Relax, senpai. You know you shouldn't be more worried than I am," Kyousuke said as he had been watching your movement. He was sitting on a chair outside the operating room while you couldn't get yourself to sit and relax. You felt stupid at the thought that you seemed like a husband worried about his wife delivering a baby.

"I can't relax! What if it won't succeed?" you said with a hand over your forehead.

"Geez. Stop being so negative and grab a damn seat here. That won't help with anything other than tiring yourself. How are you supposed to take care of Nii-san if later on you are already tired as hell? Not to mention you slept like five hours."

"Three hours! I only slept for three damn hours because I can't help thinking about this day!"

"Whatever. That's exactly the point. So sit down before you collapse right here and then and get yourself immediately confined."

You gave out a sigh and finally agreed to Kyousuke, taking a seat next to him. "Fine."

(another time skippu - after the operation)


(Yuuichi's POV)

"Congratulations Tsurugi Yuuichi," the doctor told me with a victorious smile on his face as I was able to stand on both feet. It has been a few hours after the operation and when the doctor said that I could already try the surgery, I felt more than happy to see it succeed.

I walked out of the operating room and when Kyousuke saw me, standing before him, no wheelchair, and walking like the normal way it was, he fell into his knees and started sobbing. I walked over to him and helped him up.

"I... I can't believe it," Kyousuke said as he wiped his tears. "You have no idea how I wanted you to be like this again... I... I was in the verge of doing almost everything just to heal you legs and... and..." he wasn't able to finish his sentence as he dropped his face into his hands again. I smiled gently at him and told him, "It's okay now, Kyousuke. Thank you so much for never leaving my side."

Kyousuke let out a short laugh before he hugged me and tapped my back with his fist. "You gotta take care of that one though," he said as he pulled away, pointing over at (Y/n) who had fallen asleep on a chair. Boy, she must've been worried. I walked over to her.


(Your POV)

You were dozing off since your eyes grew tired from all the sleeplessness and pacing back and forth. Just then your senses came to wake when you felt a light tap on your shoulder that it made you suddenly jump up from your seat with your eyes shot open wide.

"Who what where when how?!" you blurted out and was about to stoop over when a pair of arms caught you before you could hurt yourself.

You were about to thank whoever caught you and prevented you from slamming your face on the floor, but when you saw who it was, you almost fainted. It was the love of your life, Tsurugi Yuuichi, standing in front of you in all his glory without any support or a wheelchair, in fact, he was the one supporting you so you didn't trip over.

"Yuu... Yuu... Yuuichi-kun?" you said with delight in your eyes.

"Thanks for never giving up on me," he said and before he could say more, you crashed your lips into his with your arms thrown over him. He was surprised yet he then kissed you back, realizing that the both of you felt the same way for each other all along.

"I love you, Yuuichi," you said as you broke the kiss.

"I love you too," he said before kissing your forehead.

Kyousuke just nodded his head with a closed-eye smile and let you two enjoy the moment.
