Kagami stretched out his arms, every bone cracked upon the movement. He lets out a long yawn. The soft windy breeze feels good on his skin; he walks a little to the corner before sliding down against a wall as he lets his body fall onto the cold floor of the hospital roof.

I’m exhausted…

Slowly, his consciousness drifted off.

“Tai-chan, do you think one day I’ll be able to marry someone?”

The question popped out of nowhere, while her fingers gracefully dance on the piano keys. Kagami looked at her. He swallowed the heavy lump in his throat. He wants the best for his childhood friend but at the same time he wants her to keep living.

“Why do you ask?”

“Well…it’s because I have a time limit in my life, would I be able to find the one for me before I die?” she looked at him. Her blue orbs hoping for an answer.

He could not answer her.

He opens his eyes, as his scarlet met the blue sky above him. He puts an arm over his orbs, he lets out a year worth of sigh.

Why did I have that dream again?

“You shouldn’t sleep here, you could catch a cold” a voice spoke to him. Kagami furrowed at the voice.

“Himuro…what are you doing here, shouldn’t you be with Tetsu?” he got up using both of his hands, crossing his legs as he sits. Tatsuya eyed the man on the floor as he rested his right hand on his hip while he lets his left hand hang to the side.

“Aomine and the rest of GoM came for a visit; they’re with Tetsuki at the moment while the doctor does his daily check up on her”

Kagami frowned as his orbs bores into the floor in front of him. He took a deep breath as he stands up, making his way towards the door.

“Aomine wants to talk to you”

Kagami send a glare before cursing underneath his breath. He left the rooftop.

--

“Sure, she can go if she wants to, I’ll do another check up before you leave” the raven haired doctor voice was heard. The red haired guitarist raised an eyebrow.

Tetsu leave for where…?

“Where are you going?” Kagami voice attracted all orbs in the room. He looked like a tiger that has gotten its sleep disturbed.

“Kagamichii, we’re going to the beach!” the blond beamed his overly bright smile to the tiger.

Kagami furrowed then he shifted his gaze to his childhood friend. He noticed the button in front of her pajamas was not properly done. He made his way to her ignoring Aomine greets. Swiftly his hands buttoned the said thing properly as he lets out a soft sigh.

“You didn’t button it up properly…” he mumbles as he tucked strands of her blue locks behind her ears. The blunette looked at his orbs; she could see the sadness in those orbs that always flares.

Everyone else watched in awe at how Kagami handles her especially with Tetsuki being a female. Then he turns around.

“Well, mind explaining instead of being useless idiots here” he scowled as he took a seat on the chair next to the bed as he crossed his arms in front of his chest.

“Our next tour would be near a beach, we think it would be a good idea if we bring Tetsu along since it’s been ages we last went to a beach together “Aomine explained as he looks at the blunette.

“More like you want her to attend your next performance” Kagami glares at the lead singer.

“I am sure Tetsuki will like it, she has been in this room for far too long. It will be only for a few days, then we will have her back here again” Akashi interrupted. The rest nodded. Kagami forehead scrunched up. He sighed, and then he felt a small tug on his jacket.

“Tai...chan…can…we go…?” she smiled.

Tai…chan…what am…I…living for…?

The words ring in his head. He looked at her, he smiled at her warmly. He nodded.

“Yes, we can” he pats her head gently. Tatsuya, who arrived not long ago, looked at the two childhood friends worriedly as Akashi exchanged looks with him.

“Kagami, can I have a word with you before you leave?” Takao raised his hand, signaling the red haired tiger before exiting the room. Kagami nodded as he made his step following the doctor.

--

“I believe I should tell you this before anything else” the raven haired clad in white coat stopped in front of the elevator. The hallway was silent. He then shifted his gaze to the man behind him.

“She only has less than 2 weeks”

Kagami froze. His orbs widened.

“Two weeks? Why two weeks?” his eyebrow knitted into frown. The doctor gave him the folder he has been holding.

“Her brain is deteriorating much faster than usual, at this rate…give or take…it would be two weeks at most…before it dies completely…”

Kagami hands trembles as his orbs looked at the report on the paper, he could not hear himself breathing as he reads each words. The file slipped from his trembling hands. His lips parted. His head hurts from the thoughts.

“I hope you understand why I let her leave the hospital for a few days…” Takao left after picking up the file.

Kagami stood froze before he wobbles his way towards the nearby wall down the hallway. The doctor words rings in his ears. He slides down against the cold wall. Not caring if his expensive jacket would be ruin. Kagami brought his right knee closer to his as he rested his arm on it while he held his forehead.

Tears falls as silent scream escaped his lips. Both of his palms are on his face covering the frustrated and painful expression.

Tetsu…

--

“Oi, Kagami” Aomine voice breaks his train of thoughts. He looked to the side; everyone in the room was looking worriedly at him.

“What’s wrong, you have been spacing out ever since you came back from that talk with that doctor” Kise added.

Ah…I forgot…I came back to the room after…

“Tai...chan…you…looked…tired…” Tetsuki shifted her hands and puts it on Kagami’. The red haired guitarist smiled weakly.

“I’m fine. I was just thinking that’s all” he lied. He is over exhausted. Anyone can tell he could collapse any second if he doesn’t get some more rest.

“Taiga, go home. We will watch over her” Akashi stood in front of him, his hetero orbs glares at him. Hinting him to obey what he just said.

“Yeah, go home. You looked like shit” Aomine nodded as he grabbed Kagami bag pack and stuffed it onto him.

“Eh…but” he was trying to protest, Tatsuya pushed him towards the door.

“Go home. Come back when you get some sleep” The shorter ordered, he closes the door.

Kagami sighed; he left the hospital as ordered. His head was filled with what Takao told him. It repeated over and over.

By the time he reached the apartment he and Tatsuya shared, he collapsed on the couch. Falling asleep almost an instant, not bothering to change into more comfortable clothes or taking his shoes off.

“She only has less than 2 weeks”

His tears left his tired eyes as he sleep…

--

“We’ll see you tomorrow, let Tatsuya knows if you need us to get you anything for the trip, alright?” Aomine stands up. Kise was giving the blunette a hug before leaving the room, while Atsushi pats her head gently and puts a candy in her hands.

“See ya later, Tsukichin~~”

“Bye…bye…everyone…” she waved as her hands shook. Akashi grimace before returning to his normal expression, he smiled at the pianist.

“Goodbye, Tetsuki. Have a good night” he left the room.

“Tetsu, you don’t know how much it meant to me that you willing to come with us” the midnight blue lead singer pulls her into a hug, carefully yet so gently. Burying his face into her vanilla scent locks, he will never get tired of hugging the smaller girl. He places a kiss on her forehead.

“Goodnight, Tetsu. I love you”

“Good…night…Dai…chan…” she did not reply to his words. Aomine noticed but he shook it off, thinking the blunette might need a little more time about their relationship.

He then followed the rest. Little does he know, Akashi was watching them before looking away, his heart winced in pain every time he sees Aomine and Tetsuki affection towards each other. They all left except for Tatsuya.

“Finally, some peace and quiet~~” Tatsuya stretched out as he lets out a soft yawn, then he noticed Tetsuki was looking at her hands.

“Mu…ro…chan…is it not…fair…for him…if I say…I loved…him…?” the blunette spoke without shifting her gaze.

“What do you mean?” Tatsuya took a seat next to her.

“I’ll die soon…it won’t be fair if he love someone that will leave him…”

“Tetsuki, you know very well that Aomine loves you very much. I was told that he was severely depressed after you left Japan and the band. It took roughly 5 months for the agency to have him back on his two feet and sing”

Tetsuki shifted her gaze to the raven haired bassist.

“Apparently he attend your first debut in states that day, we saw him in the crowds. He stood out like a sore thumb” he chuckled.

“He…did…?”

Tatsuya nodded as he smiled. He rested head on his palm; he looks at the blunette warmly.

“He got his spirit back after he watched your second performance, he was eager to see you when they arrived here in states for their Tour, however we gotta thank Akashi for that. He was the one who planned their Tour destination”

“So you see, he loves you for who you are, not for how physically handicapped you are” He puts a hand on her head, brushing her bangs to the side.

“But…I…” She looked at her shaking hands.

“He has made his mind up about you; there is nothing to be unfair about. So don’t worry about it. Just focus on living your life” he cupped her cheeks gently.

“Keep smiling till the end, it would be the greatest gift you could give to Aomine in return for his love” he smiled. She nodded. She smiled weakly back.

-

Being sick isn't a misfortune, it’s simply an inconvenience

-

“Alright, you can go but REMEMBER, if anything at all happen, RUSH her immediately to the nearest hospital, NOT CLINIC but hospital. Give me a call if anything comes up; my phone is always on standby”  Takao said as he send glares to the young men in front of him, while he tuck away his hand into his pocket.

“Tetsuki, here, it’s from me. Make sure you keep yourself warm” the doctor wraps a soft blue muffler around the blunette. She smiled.

“Have fun, I’ll see you in a couple of days” he ruffles through her soft locks gently. She nodded.

“Bye…bye…Takao…chan…” she waved as Kagami unlock the clasp on the wheel.

Kagami slowly pushed the wheelchair towards the hospital entrance, while Aomine and Akashi car is already outside waiting for them.

Tatsuya realized that Kagami is not saying anything much today. It was as if there is a lot on his mind.

“Taiga…is everything alright?” he whispered. Kagami looked at him from the corner of his eyes before shifting it to the blunette in front of him.

“Yeah…everything’s fine” he mumbles. His grip tightens on the wheelchair handle. Tatsuya sighed.

“Tsukichin~~”

Atsushi waved from afar, upon noticing a familiar blunette being wheeled towards the black car at the hospital porch. Tatsuya followed Kagami from behind; he was carrying two bags on his arms. Aomine quickly walk towards the blunette, he grabbed the bag from Tatsuya.

“Ready to go, Tetsu?” he smiled. The blunette nodded.

The red haired guitarist scooped his childhood friend and puts her onto the passenger seat, while Atsushi grabbed the wheel chair and puts it in the second car that parked behind the first.

“Let’s go, Tetsukichii!” Kise closes the door and quickly ran to the second car, following Aomine car from behind.

--

Takao waved his patient from the hospital entrance before he noticed someone familiar approached him. He smiled.

"You finally came, what makes you change your mind?" Takao chuckled at his forest green haired friend who just looked away instead of looking at the shorter doctor in front of him.

“Shut up, I just came to check on my ex-patient that is all.”

Takao sighed as he eyed the taller doctor. It was only two days ago after he sent the update on Tetsuki disease to Midorima.

Guess he really is worried about her.

“Wanna come inside for a cup of coffee?” the raven haired doctor invited as he starts entering the building. Midorima nodded in silent.

--

“This would be your room for the next 4 days” Akashi opens the door, revealing a well furnished room with a small balcony facing the sea. The sea breeze enters the room.

“It’s …beautiful…thank…you…Sei…chan” she smiled as she looked at the room. Akashi smiled. He purposely has this room booked especially for the blunette as long as he can see her smiling.

“And also, here’s a gift for you from all of us” the red haired bassist pulls out a few boxes in different colors wrapped in ribbons onto the bed.

“It’s…for…me…?”

Akashi nodded as he smiled. The boxes contained several different types of one piece dresses that picked by each of the GoM members before they left to pick the blunette up from the hospital.

“Your room would be next to hers, is that fine with you?” he looked at the taller man standing next to him. Kagami nodded.

“Hmm, what’s wrong? You’re not being very aggressive past two days”

“Nothing’s wrong. I’m just tired.” Kagami brushed him off.

What am I supposed to say…? Tetsu will die in two weeks?

“Very well, I’ll be leaving for now with the rest. We will come back in a few hours. In the mean time you can bring her around the place, call me if you need anything”

Akashi left the room. Aomine, who was standing outside the room, watched the red haired tiger lets out a heavy sigh, not missing the complicated frowns he has on his face before plastering it with a smile as he walks towards the blunette who admires the blue sea at the veranda.

Is he hiding something?

--

“So how long are you going to be here?” Takao puts down his cup carefully, while he looks at his guest.

“For as long as I can” Midorima replied quietly as he sipped his coffee. He grimaced at the taste of the bitter instant coffee.

“Have you thought on what to say to her?” the questioned made Midorima stopped sipping his coffee. Takao took a deep heavy sigh as he rested his chin on his palm. He eyed the doctor.

“You know, she doesn’t have much time left…it’s either you tell her now or never…”

“I know…”

--

“Daiki, are you sure you want to do this?” Akashi looked at the taller man in front of him. Aomine turns around, quickly keeping the small blue box into his jacket pocket.

“Yes, I am more than sure” for the first time, Akashi seen Aomine meant what he said with his decision.

“Alright, however I do hope that you won’t regret with your decision” the red haired bassist left, making his way towards the rest of the GoM.

“I won’t.”

I definitely will never regret this.

--

Aomine knocked the door softly, hoping Tetsuki is still awake. To his dismay, she was asleep. He was not surprised as it was almost midnight. He sighed as he made his way down to the lobby, towards the bar.

The bartender quickly has his glass filled with alcohol, Aomine sipped as he stares at the ice cubed. He frowns.  

“Oi~ one more…” a familiar voice broke his train of thoughts. His midnight blue orbs searched for the voice. Kagami was on the other side of the counter, several bottles of wines and beers are all over the place in front of him.

“Kagami, what are you doing here?” Aomine tapped the latter shoulder. He raised an eyebrow, looking at how drunk and flushed the red haired bassist is.

“Drinking, what else I would be doing here” he sipped the whole beer in his glass. Aomine took a seat next to him.

“Tetsu would be worried if she sees you like this” Aomine noted to him. Kagami glares at the lead singer.

“Like you’re one to talk, I heard you were a complete drunk after she left” he contorted. Aomine did not fight back. He sipped his alcohol instead.

“She doesn’t deserve all these shit” Kagami mumbles as he signaled the bartender to refill his glass.

“Kagami, tell me, what are you hiding from us? I saw your face this afternoon after Akashi spoke to you. Clearly you’re hiding something” Aomine looked at the red haired tiger next to him from the corner of his orbs, waiting for an answer to a question which he wished he should have not asked.

“Two weeks”

“Two weeks that’s all she has left” Aomine looked at him disbelief upon hearing the words. He turns Kagami around forcefully by his shoulder.

“Tell me this isn’t some bullshit you’re spouting out, what you mean she only has less than two weeks!” his voice rose drastically, gaining other clients attention. Kagami tried to push away Aomine hands that are gripping his shoulder tightly.

“The doctor performed a scan on her brain 2 days before you all came to visit her…”

 “Her brain is dying much faster than normal patient; they…think that…”

“Her brain can only last another two weeks before it gives out completely…” Kagami orbs weakly looked at the ice cubes in his glass on the counter. He lets his head lolled to the side, not caring what people says.

“THAT’S BULLSHIT, THE DOCTORS DOESN’T DO SHIT TO HELP HER!” Aomine cursed into the red haired guitarist face.

“They did, they tried. It wasn’t enough. Not with the current technology, no matter how much I paid; there is no way to get the disease cured” Kagami pushed away Aomine hands.

“You sounded like you couldn’t care less if she dies”

That was it.

Kagami lose it.

"I HAVE BEEN HER FRIEND FOR OVER 25 YEARS, HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THE PERSON YOU HAVE BEEN STAYING CLOSE TO YOU EACH DAY, DYING IN FRONT OF YOU EACH FUCKING DAY!" Kagami cries as he lets go of his collar. He falls onto his knees.

Aomine orbs widened. He knows he shouldn’t have said that.

Kagami was the one who always been there for Tetsuki. He was the one who always kept her safe from everything and everyone. He was the one who would stay up night and day without sleeping to watch over her. He was the one who is suffering from the pain of watching his dearest friend dying, unable to do anything for her. He was the one who felt her pain.

“Kagami…I’m sorry…” Aomine tried to apologies and help the tiger up but Kagami pushed him aside.

“You don’t fucking know how it feels like” Kagami staggered towards the bar exit after paying for his drinks, leaving Aomine in a dazed and guilt.

Why did I say that…?

--

“Tai…chan…you…looked…terrible…” Tetsuki gives him a clean cloth; he wipes his face with it. He sighed. The hangover was terrible.

I drank too much last night…

“Don’t worry, I’m fine” he chucked down a cup of cold water before focusing on the blunette in front of him. He smiled.

“Let’s go, they’re waiting for us” he wrapped the muffler around the smaller blunette before pushing the wheelchair to the exit.

--

“Aomine” Tatsuya called out for him, while waiting for Kagami and Tetsuki to come down to the lobby. He pulls out a piece of letter from his bag pack. The midnight blue lead singer raised an eyebrow.

“How much do you love her?”

“A lot, no money or anything in this world can value my love for her” Aomine slapped himself mentally for saying those mushy words.

“Read this after your performance ends” Tatsuya smiled as he gave Aomine a piece of letter from Tetsuki.

"She wants you to keep singing no matter what happened" he added before walking towards the duo that just arrived down the lobby.

Aomine looked at Tetsuki from afar. His orb saddens upon remembering what Kagami said last night.

--

“Tetsu, don’t open it, alright?” Aomine said after making sure the blindfold is tight enough around her head. She nodded.

She could hear foots shuffling around her, people whispering to each other. She shifted in her seat uncomfortably.

“Dai…chan…?”

“Just a bit more” Aomine whispered to her. She could feel the wheelchair stopped abruptly. Then she hears Tatsuya and Kise voice, whispering Aomine quietly.

Slowly, the white blindfold was untied. Her orbs widened. Aomine opposite to her with a smile, while in front of the two, stood a priest. Then she looked around them. All of her friends are there, everyone from the Generation of Miracles, Teiko and Seirin Agency, Alex and Midorima. All of them were smiling warmly at her. She shifted her gaze to the man in opposite her.

“So you see, he loves you for who you are, not for how physically handicapped you are”

“Tetsuki, will you marry me?”

“He has made his mind up about you; there is nothing to be unfair about”

“Yes…I will…”

Unknowingly, she held out her hand as tears starts pooling. Aomine slides a silver ring onto her think slender ring finger. Fit perfectly.

“From this day onward, you are husband and wife” the priest announced.

“Keep smiling till the end; it would be the greatest gift you could give to Aomine in return for his love”

Everyone clapped and cheered. It was a day they never expect to come. Kagami made his way towards his childhood friend. Aomine gave way to the red haired guitarist.

“I’m happy that you’re finally happy” everyone could hear his voice shook, trying to hold back the tears and emotions that threatening to falls. He pinched her cheeks gently before he bends down.

"We love you, Tetsu..." Her childhood friend hugged her gently. Both Alex and Momoi are in tears.

“Take care of her” Kagami looked at him. He nodded.

Aomine hugged her gently as he pulls her up after his friends stopped hugging he, letting her lean against his chest.

“Thank you, thank you so much, my love” he hugged her,

His tears escaped. He finally grasped the happiness he has been chasing after for so long. Tetsuki smiled as she cries at the same time.

--

I love you, Daiki…with all my heart…forever…

--

“It has been announced that the infamous Aomine Daiki of the GoM and the Mysterious Genius Composer, HEAVEN or known as Kuroko Tetsuki has finally tied a knot!”

“Who would have thought these two are a pair match in heaven!”

“A BIG CONGRATULATIONS to both of them, we hope you both will have a happy life!”

“Apparently after the wedding ceremony, the GoM held their performance for their Tour in States, it was a big surprise for me and everyone!’

“Wanna know a bigger surprise? Kagami Taiga is back performing with the Generation of Miracles; the infamous bassist Tatsuya Himuro will be accompanying this band for this band for this special occasion!”

The news spread like a wildfire across the globe just within 1 hour after the wedding ceremony. Everyone was caught surprised but was happy for the couple.

--

Although we're so close together
there are things which I haven't told you about
"Just tell me how to get straightforward"

The whole dome was full of audience, especially right after the announcement of the marriage, Aomine and HEAVEN popularity increased dramatically. Aomine stood at the center of the stage. Happiness sprawls all over his expression. 

“I found my soul a best friend”

Akashi, Kise, Atsushi and Kagami sang as they played their instruments. The female audience cheered even louder, hearing they sang for the first time in GoM history.

When you place your hand on my chest
your face is the first thing that floats to my mind
“Well just you and you and you”
But it feels awkward
because there are still words I haven't spoken to you

Tetsuki watched them from the backstage, her heart never felt so content till now. Seeing her friends sang together. She can never ask for anything more than seeing her loved one sings the music she loved so much.

Again and again thank you.
I say these words to you, the one who found me,

"I'm glad I met you".
If I can say these words through a song, thank you.
For being able to spend each day laughing with you, my dear,

I say thank you.

The harmonies among the members and instruments matched perfectly. The overwhelming happiness fills the whole dome. The hologram projected dark and light blue orbs.

Suddenly, she felt something hit her head from behind, her vision blurred. She closes her eyes before opening them again. She took a deep breath. The pain was unbearable.

--

Please let me…watch them…till the end…

 --

This isn’t just a mere matter,
But an overwhelming feeling of love.
Because I have met you,
So I do not feel discouraged anymore.

Midorima who stood behind Tetsuki wheel chair looked at the blunette in front of him. He smiled. His heart felt content seeing her smile. Her orbs shine in happiness. Something he was not able to do for her.

Although seasons change,
I'll still keep on reaching out for you.
“Well just you and you and you”.
Because I want to see your smiling face,
I'll keep running to you again.

“Aren’t you glad that everyone has get along very well now?” he asked. The blunette looked at him, she held his hand gently.

“I am…glad…that…Midorin…came…I missed…you…”

Again and again thank you
I say these words to you, the one who found me

"I'm glad I met you"
If I can say these words through a song, thank you.
For being able to spend each day laughing with you, my dear,

I say thank you.

 “About…before…” Midorima was cut off before he can continue.

“What…has happened…is…all…in…the…past…now…is the…present…” she smiled at him.

“Mi...dorin…has…stayed…by…my side…giving…me the…support…”

The green haired doctor orbs were glazed with tears. It was then he noticed Tetsuki grips on his hands tightens, his emeralds widened in fear, the backstage crew attention all focused on the pianist and the doctor. All color drained from his face.

Thank you, thank you, lemme say I thank you.
Thank you, thank you, no—

“TETSUKI!!!”

All heads on the stage turns sharply to the right of the backstage the moment they heard Midorima shouted for blunette name. Panic starts to gather in their stomach, they saw Tetsuki body lay limply in the doctor arms, her orbs shuts close.

Aomine was about to leave his spot but Tatsuya stopped him.

“Aomine, keep singing, that is what she wants you to do. Keep singing till the end of the note. Do not disappoint the audience; finish what you have promised them!”

"She wants you to keep singing no matter what happened"

The midnight blue singer turns deathly pale, as his orbs widens in fear. His sight follows Tetsuki body being put on the floor. Midorima was trying his best to get Tetsuki to wake up but it fails, her orbs shuts close tightly, refusing to open. He could see how desperate the green haired doctor is trying to get his wife consciousness back.

The audience starts whispering, questioning the performers’ abrupt stop in their performance.

What’s going on?

Why did they stop?

“Keep singing” Tatsuya tried to stop him.

Kagami stood froze to the ground. His fear has come true. He left the stage, he ran towards his childhood friend. Aomine pushed Tatsuya away.

“TETSU!”

 “TETSU, TETSU! OPEN YOUR EYES!” He could hear Kagami voice shook.

Aomine bend down to see her closer, but in vain. She was unconscious. Her face was deathly pale. His hand trembles terribly as tears starts escaping.

NO…NO…NO… PLEASE GOD….DON’T TAKE HER AWAY FROM ME!

"TETSU!!!!" 

"These are made especially for you" Tatsuya puts a few score books onto the table. Aomine looked at him.

"GET A FUCKING GRIP OF YOURSELF, AHOMINE!" Kagami roared, pushing him against the wall. 

"I can't...i just...can't..." he falls onto his knees. 

"Dai-chan" She smiled.
