Score 19 ~ Dreamers' Symphony
Beep, beep, beep...
The heart monitor machine beeping silently, as a pair or sky blue orbs flutters as rays of sunshine falls gently onto her. Weakly she reached out for her face as she felt a familiar oxygen mask has been attached onto her so is an IV tube.
"Hey…"
A familiar voice rang in her ears; slowly she turns to her right, founding a pair of midnight blue orbs looking at her worriedly. Dark eye bags underneath those orbs, looking so exhausted that he looked like he could fall asleep any second.
"Dai…chan…"
He smiled the moment he hears her voice for the first time after 17 hours, he gently cupped her soft pale cheeks, as he brushed off the bangs that was covering some part of her eyes.
"You…didn't sleep…" she said weakly as her glazed eyes were still looking very tired and trying its hardest to stay open.
Aomine lets out a small chuckled, "Stop worrying about me for once."
She smiled as she reached out for Aomine; he gently took her hand as he caressed it with much care and love.
"How can…I not be worrying…about…you…"she weakly laughed.
"Hush…you need your rest, I'll treat you, your favorite drink as much as you want, as long as you get your rest" Aomine gently said as he pats her hand.
"Promise…?"
Aomine nodded, "I promise, as much as you want." He said as he stuck out his pinky finger towards the blunette. She then slowly stuck her pinky finger onto Aomine' as they both let out a small laugh and smile, as Aomine stood up and bend down, he kissed her forehead, gently.
"Rest well; we will talk again when you're up and around. I love you, babe…" With that, she fall asleep, Aomine gentle kissed felt warm on her forehead.
"I...love...you too…" she mumbles in her sleep. He smiled at his girlfriend adorable reply.
He took a heavy sigh before falling back onto the chair, shutting his eyes, and feeling exhausted. He has not once slept after the conversation he had with the doctor on the roof top last night.
He did not notice the door slides open, as a certain red head enters, walks silently towards the blue duo that was near the window.
"Go home and get some rest."
Aomine nearly fell off the chair when he heard the voice. His eyes sprang open to look at the owner of the voice. The moment he turns around, he could feel the entire world is spinning around him.
"Akashi, when did you get here?" Aomine shook his head for a bit after making sure his vision back to normal, he scans the shorter red head. He was bringing a bag pack and a bouquet of white roses in his hand.
Akashi was dressed up in his usual casual, a dark red jacket, a white t shirt with some designs on it and a black jeans, he was using his hat as well.
"A few seconds ago." He answered as he puts the bouquet on the table as he pulls out a small white vase. Quietly he puts the flowers in it and some water from a bottle of water he brought along. Aomine just stayed silent, watching his shrimp leader from the corner of his eyes.
Akashi notices this as he sighed.
"Daiki, you know very well I do not enjoy repeating myself twice. Get some rest. Kise and the others are heading here soon, we will watch over her while you get yourself sorted out."
"I don't need rest!" he protest as he stood up abruptly, sending him back to his chair, his knees weakened, he felt dizzy and too tired to stand up again.
"Your body says different. Ryota should be here in a few moments, I will get him to send you home." Akashi said, it was as if on que as Kise slides open the door, beaming his shine into the room, expecting to see his favorite blunette to be up but his smile went upside down to see his expectation was wrong.
"Ryota, send Daiki home, bring along Atsushi with you." Akashi ordered.
"Eh but we just got here!" Kise pouted as he looked at the tan teen that seems to be falling asleep any second.
"Fine. Let's go, Aominechii." He said as Atsushi grabbed Aomine arm and pulls him up. Aomine just nodded, he took one last look before he left the room with the duo.
After they left, Akashi took Aomine seat, as he pulls out a book from his bag pack. He then stares at the asleep blunette, while the heart monitor machine beeps quietly. Gently he pulls up the blank a little higher; making sure Tetsuki is not cold.
Midorima who was making his way rounds for checkups on his patients notices a certain familiar trio left Tetsuki room. He then approached the room as the door automatically slides open, revealing his old friend, indulging his book next to Tetsuki bed.
"I see, you have softened up from being the almighty Akashi Seijuro." Midorima said, the moment he noticed the white roses on the table lamp near the bed.
"Don't push it. It's merely roses for the sick." Akashi replied, he did not bother about turning his gaze towards the green head that was standing opposite him, checking Tetsuki heart monitor and health clipboard.
Akashi who was watching the doctor noticed his face softened up the moment he looked at Tetsuki. Clearly he was worried but at the same time, longing for her.
"Things will be harder for her and everyone from now on." Midorima mumbles, while Akashi can only stay silent, he sigh within himself.
By the time Tetsuki woke up, it was already late evening, she noticed the green haired doctor was sitting next to her bed, looking through some files, while he massage his nose bridge from time to time.
"Midorin…?" Tetsuki said, as she gained the attention of the tired doctor. Midorima quickly puts aside his files and crack a smile towards the blunette.
"How are you feeling?"
Tetsuki then looks around before she smiled, "Better"
Midorima then pats her head gently, "That's better, want some food?" the blunette nodded as Midorima helped her up, her oxygen mask has been taken off except her IVs.
"Midorin, how did I get here?" she asked, while Midorima was taking something out from a red bag with a print of a puppy on it.
"Aomine did, well he found you that night in your apartment, and I guess he was panic, so he called the rest of your friends for help." The doctor explained as he opens a few containers and laid them in front of Tetsuki.
Tetsuki stared at the containers, Midorima sighed, and he took a seat next to Tetsuki on the bed, looking at her worriedly.
"Tetsuki"
The blunette raised her head, as her eyes levels the same as the emerald orbs that looking at her with such concern looks on his face. Tetsuki noticed the doctor seems to be hesitating to continue his words.
"What's wrong? Did you have a hard day at work?" she smiled as she held his hand hoping it would let Midorima feel comfortable to spill out whatever he has in mind.
Midorima then looked at her once again before he lets out a heavy sigh.
"Your brain… is deteriorating three times faster than usual…" he paused, he could see the sea blue orbs he always adored and cherished so much, trying to stay calm and listen to him.
"You have less than 10 months, Tetsuki." With that, Tetsuki orbs widened up, her small hands that was holding Midorima hands gently, now trembling, and her lips slightly parted, she could feel her heart almost stopped the moment she received the news.
"Why… 10 months…what did I do for it to make my life shortened to less than 10 months?" Tetsuki asked as tears starts pooling at the corner of her eyes.
Midorima could not answer her.
"Midorin, why?!" she lose her cool, tears fell onto the blank that was covering her lower body. She grabbed onto Midorima lab coat as she starts crying, Midorima could feel his heart winced, seeing the blunette he loves so much breaking down.
The foods left forgotten, the night went by silently as Tetsuki crying voice echoes in the room, breaking down onto Midorima chest as he pulled her closer.
"I wished I could do more than this for you…Tetsuki…" Midorima mumbles as he buries his face into Tetsuki soft hair, he could feel his lab coat is wet on the front of his chest from Tetsuki tears.
Midorima looked up, noticing someone standing at the door as he shook his head quietly while the blunette tearing up.
"Man, I overslept" a tan teen walks through the empty hallway of the hospital, bringing a black bag pack on his shoulder, after registering as a visitor for Tetsuki on the front desk. In his hand, he was carrying a white plastic bag, containing a box of cakes and Tetsukis' favorite milkshake.
He lets out a few yawns as he approached Tetsuki room, as the door slides open, he froze the moment he heard a familiar voice crying.
Not far from where he stood, Tetsuki was crying onto the doctor chest, her face was full of pain; her soft pale cheeks were flushed from the tears she was pouring out. Aomine heart winced.
"Te…." He then noticed the doctor looked at him as he shook his head.
"I've told her the news, let her be for the time being" that was the message Midorima sent through his eyes and the shook.
Aomine understood the sign as he slowly backed out of the room, the door quietly slides close. He stared at the door, all of his energy felt drained out of him completely. He then weakly went towards the line of chairs near the wall; he slowly slumped onto the chair as he massages his tired eyes. He sighed, feeling completely useless.
"What should I do, Tetsuki?" he mumbles into the nothings, he could hear Tetsuki faint sobs from the outside of the room.
The night passes by quietly with Tetsuki sobs, she fell asleep in Midorima arms, gently he tucked her back under her blank, as his hand brush off her bangs. He wiped off her tears. He gathers his files and silently he left the room.
"She's asleep?" Aomine asked after noticing a white coat standing in front of him. The emerald orbs doctor nodded.
"Things will be harder for everyone from now on. The clock is ticking as we speak. Do whatever you can before you regret it." Midorima said, leaving the tan teen in the darkness of night.
"I know…you don't have to tell me." Aomine mumbles as he stares at his cell phone wallpaper. A picture of Tetsuki smiling while she dressed up in a pink kimono for the summer festival they went together before. Aomine midnight orbs softened up every time he looks at that picture.
"Time has passed by without us noticing it." He sighed as he shut close his cell phone and tucked it into his jeans pocket.
He grabbed his bag and the plastic bag as he quickly yet quietly enters the dimly lighted room.
"Tetsukichii! We brought you, breakfast!" Kise said as he quickly puts down a few plastic bags onto the table, while the rest gathered around the bed that morning.
"Here, it's your favorite sandwich" Kise said as he helps her open up a container full of ham egg sandwich.
"That's a lot; I couldn't possibly eat all of it." Her orbs widened in surprise, as she blinks at the container.
"We will help you to finish it if you can't" Kagami said as he slides open the window as the soft breeze enters. Atsushi nodded as he eyed the container hungrily. Tetsuki giggled at the tall giant hungry appetite when she heard a soft growl from his stomach.
"You can have some of them, At-chan" she said as she handed over the container to him.
"Hey! That's for Tetsukichii!" Kise said as his honey orbs followed Atsushi long hands that were grabbing several sandwiches from the container.
"You can have some too, Ryo-chan" Tetsuki handed over the container as well towards the blonde that was pouting in front of the bed.
"I made that especially for Tetsukichii, not for you guys" he pouts as his arms now crossed in front of his chest.
"Keep it down; we do not want to disturb other patients rest now do we?" Akashi warned as the rest of his friends flinched the moment they saw his deathly glare.
"Tetsuki, you feel better now?" Kagami whispered to the blunette, while the commotion was still going on at the side of the bed.
Tetsuki nodded, "Don't worry, I'll be fine" She smiled.
"Let me know if you need anything, alright?" Kagami said as he pats the blunette head gently.
Midorima made his way towards the blunette room when he heard loud noises from outside, the door slides open, revealing the whole band of GoM gathering around the bed, while Tetsuki giggles looking at them.
"Ahem." Midorima breaks the noise, as several pairs of eyes looked at him before gathering to their feet.
Midorima walks towards the bed, as he checks Tetsuki health clipboard. He smiled at the blunette after noticing a few containers of breakfast on the table in front of her.
"Tetsuki, I'll be having your name send to the rehabilitation center, alright?" Midorima said as he jolted something down onto the clipboard.
Tetsuki quickly went silent, and then Midorima gave a signal to the band members to leave the room for a while except Kagami.
"Why I need to do rehab?"
"You'll be staying here at the hospital for a while, so we can watch over you so for the time being it's better to have you move around to slow down the deterioration."
Kagami, who was at the side, listens to what the doctor said then he taps the blunette shoulder.
"I'll be there when you do your rehab, don't give up."
Tetsuki looked up, sea blue orbs meets fiery red orbs. She smiled as she nodded. "I won't."
Midorima who was satisfied with the blunette answers then left the room for other duties. The GoM quickly enters the room again, they stayed there till afternoon.
"I'll come back again tonight, after practice" Aomine said as he kissed her forehead.
"We will come visit you again, Tsukichin~~~" Atsushi left the room, as he followed the rest.
"Here, I'm sure you can't sit still, so I brought you these." Akashi pulled out a few empty scorebooks from his bag and a box of pencils for her to use.
"Get some rest. We will see you again soon." Akashi said as he left the room, followed by Kagami who waved her a goodbye.
She waved back, once the door slide close, she sighed.
"They support me so much when they know nothing of what's going on. I can't give up." She said as she opens the scorebook and took a pencil as she starts composing.
"Midorima, think you can let her out for a few days?" Aomine called that evening.
"Yes I can, but you will have to make sure she takes her medication and enough rests"
"Thank you and yes I will. She will be in good hands."
With that the conversation ends, it was not something new for any of the GoM to call him these days, especially with Tetsuki copped up in the hospital bed for the past 3 weeks.
"Tetsuki, your friends is coming to pick you up."
The blunette that was in the rehab room raised her head up to see the emerald orbs doctor smiling at her. She blinked.
"Pick me up?"
"Yep, pick you up, I have written a temporary discharge for a few days for you, meaning you can go out" Midorima said as he bend down while helping the blunette stand up. She staggered a little as Midorima support her by her arm.
"Thank you, Midorin!"
"They should be here soon, so let's get you ready." Midorima said as he signaled a nurse to bring her back to her room to get change.
"Remember; bring her back here if anything happens." Midorima reprimand the tan teen while Kise and Atsushi folded the wheel chair and put it in the car trunk that was parking at the front porch of the hospital.
"It's only for a few days. We will see you in 4 days." With that the tan teen gets into the car while Tetsuki sit next to him in the passenger seat. She waved a goodbye to the green head doctor as the car leaving.
"Where are we going, Dai-chan?" Tetsuki asked the midnight blue hair teen who was focusing on the road, driving his SUV carefully. Kise and Atsushi are in another car behind them, following them closely.
"You'll see." He smiled then returns his focus back on the busy road. Tetsuki then looked outside the window, as the breeze feels good passing her soft face. She noticed the banners of the GoM and her on almost every street, the live concert they had before were being repeated on the flat screen on a few buildings.
"It only been a few weeks since I last showed myself to the world and I'm everywhere now…" she thought.
It was almost evening when they arrived at the park where Tetsuki always goes to whenever she needs a peaceful place to compose or to sing. Aomine carefully parks his car by the entrance of the park; gently he helped Tetsuki to get out of the car and carries her to her wheel chair.
She refused a couple times but gave up after nearly falling flat onto the cold hard ground.
"Use this." Aomine puts a hat onto her head, it was a little too big that it falls on the side; she noticed Aomine was in disguise as well, using a dark sunglass when it was almost dark in the sky. He then gently ties a soft cloth around her eyes.
"No touchy until I say so." Aomine said after brushing off Tetsuki hands that wanted to opens the cloth tie. He then slowly pushed the wheel chair towards the park pathway, gaining the attention of several people who was there.
After a while, they reached the lake that was situated in the middle of the park, it was dark, only lit dimly by the street lights.
"Dai-chan?" she asked after she felt the chair stopped. She then pulled off the cloth around her, Aomine was nowhere in sight, she got worried.
Now, put your hand on your chest
you feel it, right? The warm beats
Upon hearing two familiar voice sang, Tetsuki turns around, "Tai-chan? At-chan? Where are you guys?" she calls out, until she hears more sing.
This gentle sound lets you create your unique melody
this rhythm supports you… Please believe in it
It was dark, she can barely see anything in the darkness, and she did not dare to move her wheel chair as she looks around.
(Akashi) Joy
(Atsushi) Courage
(Aomine) and the tomorrow that will arrive soon
(Kagami) the music
(Kise) That you create
(Aomine) even your tears
The sound of melodious lyrics echoes throughout the park, Tetsuki listens to it as a few clicks of fingers starts clicking.
(Akashi & Kise)Let us share
(Kagami &Atsushi) Half the burden
(Aomine) of everything
(All) we'll always be
(Akashi) by your side
With that, the whole park lit up brightly, revealing all five of them standing at the middle of the lake, where a stage was set up. All five Generation of Miracles held a microphone in their hands, while behind them were Seirin band, Tetsuki was caught surprise.
(All) We love your song… We need you
(Akashi) you are fine just the way you are
(Kagami) So stay true to yourself
"Look, it's the Generation of Miracles!" someone shouted, the sudden performance caught everyone attention in the park as they all starts gather around the lake.
(Kagami & Akashi) And go after your dreams
(All) We love your song… We feel you
(Aomine) Let's walk to the star road together
( Atsushi) And
(Kagami) We will present this symphony
(Kise) To you
The whole place was filled with hologram bubbles reflecting different colors of the lights, Tetsuki can only looked at them one by one.
"Tetsuki-chan" Alex appeared behind Tetsuki wheel chair, along with Satsuki.
"Alex, Satsuki! What is this?"
They both smiled, "It's a surprise for you."
(Aomine) When you feel like crying, you can always cry in my arms
(Akashi) I will embrace your everything, including your tears
(Kagami) after the rain, the sun will always shine again
(Kise) and light up the road to the future
"They were working on this surprise past few weeks after you admitted into hospital."
Satsuki nodded, "its Aomine idea."
"They begged the President Himuro to lend a hand in setting up the stage from the agency funds." Satsuki added.
(Aomine) At the end of this road
(Akashi) what kind of story
(Kise) will we encounter?
(Akashi) I don't know
(Aomine & Kise) But no matter how deep
(Atsushi & Akashi ) The darkness is
(Kagami) The glimmer of hope
(All) Will never
(Aomine) Disappear
The whole place was filled with people, watching, squealing and waving towards their favorite band. There were some camera rolling, capturing every second of the GoM and Seirin Band doing the unannounced performance at the lake.
"Isn't that HEAVEN?"
"We're so lucky to see all three huge names here in the park!"
"Why is HEAVEN in a wheel chair?"
(All) We love your song… We believe you
(Akashi) you are fine just the way you are
(Aomine) So stay true to yourself
(Kagami & Atsushi) And go after your dreams
The Generation of Miracles started to make their way towards the blunette that was on the wheel chair that Satsuki pushed towards the bridge that connected to the stage.
(All) We hold you… We want you
(Aomine) Let's walk to the star road together
(Akashi) And
(Kagami) We will present this symphony
(Kise) To you
The five of them are now standing around her, as the light reflects its shine on the bubbles around the park as they reach their hands towards their composer, while continuing their singing accompanied by Seirin band.
(All) No matter what obstacles you face
(Aomine) don't forget to smile
(All) Under the love, the stars, and the seven rainbow-colored names
(Kagami) To you, who is going after your dreams
(All) Let this song shine…
With that the performance ended with lights shines brightly into the sky. Everyone clapped, shouting their names towards the band members but then fell silent the moment Aomine starts talking.
"Good Evening, everyone, I present you the GoM composer and dearest friend. Tetsuki"
Everyone eyes falls onto the blunette that was sitting on the wheel chair, whispers went around questioningly.
"Today performance was made especially for her, it was never been released as it was recently made." Akashi added.
"Tetsuki, don't forget we're all here for you to cry on, to listen to, to get mad at, whatever you do , we're here for you." Aomine said as he knelt down in front of the blunette, causing several girls screams in excitement.
Tetsuki blushed furiously as all attention focused on her.
"Remember what I told you once before?"
Tetsuki then tried to brainstorming her mind then she shook her head.
"Live your life to the fullest, even if it means you only have less than 10 months." Aomine said as he held onto the blunette hand. She froze then she looked at everyone.
"Everyone knew?"
They all nodded sadly including the two ladies behind the band.
Tears started to fall onto her cheeks, her body starts to tremble. Aomine took her into his arm as he hugged her gently.
"We're always here for you, don't hide your pain from us." Akashi said as looked at the blunette that starts to tear up. The rest of them nodded.
"Share your pain with us, Tetsukichii~~~" Atsushi said.
"No matter what, you are our beloved friend." Kise said as he smiled.
"But…sooner or later… I won't be able to move, I won't be able to sing or even write songs anymore!"
"Doesn't matter, you're still our Tetsuki." Aomine said, while the rest of his friends start to walk closer.
"The Tetsuki that would always runs for her dream no matter what." Kagami said.
"We love you." They all hugged her, she tears up in their hugs, and she cries and cries, she felt so tired of holding everything inside her.
The audiences were left forgotten.
She never felt so loved and cared by anyone before she met the whole Generation of Miracles, it was always only her and Kagami, but he was always sent out to the states to do tour for his albums but now she has them.
"I love you guys too."
