I woke myself up with jerking movements and a cold sweat, I was unable to control any part of my body nor could I see anything, it was petrifying.
About an hour had passed since that, the man who informed me he was my doctor said I had a seizure and that I needed a full days bed rest, this also meant I didn't get a visit from the boy who mom said always comes here, what was his name again? Ah Kenma, how could I forget him. I didn't see why he couldn't visit considering my attack was over, but the doctor said having a seizure can lead to another one later on, I agreed with him when he said it was best for Kenma not to see that.
I was slightly relieved to find out the seizure was most likely from the sudden stop of medication and not from the cancer, even though I knew it didn't mean I was getting better. I could finally blame a problem on something other than my illness, that was kinda like getting better I guess.
Mom left for work a little later today once she was told my body was stabilized, though she was still hesitant. She worked from home now as we had a computer and her work was pretty far from the hospital, I always told her I'd be okay but she still refused.
As she pulled up, Kenma stood outside the door to our house with a basket of fruits and other things in his hand, mom got out the car and welcomed him in happily and offering him something to drink.
"I'm surprised to see you here sweetie, is there something wrong?" I may of dropped into a conversation about Kenmas father never really being home, and since then moms been acting as if Kenma was her son in law.
"Ah everything is fine Ma'am, this is from the volleyball team for Kuroo, I know I can't see him today so I was going to leave it here" He thankfully accepted a glass of water while mom put the basket by the front door, mentioning how she would bring it to the hospital later on, kenma hadn't escaped yet though. Mom made him sit down with her while she drank her tea and acting as if she were the host of a talking show. It was a pretty random conversation that the younger male carefully paid attention to, until it was my turn to become the subject of the conversation.
"I've been meaning to thank you Kenma. I haven't seen Kuroo this happy since he found out about his cancer, I really owe it to you that hes handling it all so well, not to mention you're one of the few people he seems to remember. Ah well of course you are, you are my sons partner after all."
Kenmas drink almost came back out his mouth when he heard the first part, and no, I did not tell my mother that we were dating.
"y yes well.. Kuroos a really great person to be around, I want to help him as much as possible- but uh. We arnt- together like that." Mom let out a teasing laugh as she swatted her hand around, almost knocking her cup of tea flying.
"I'm just teasing you sweetie, though I would love a son in law like you" she offered a smile in Kenmas direction to which he responded back, still bright red in the cheeks and now feeling a little shy.
After there encounter, mom told Kenma about the seizure which is why he couldn't come and see me, however she still called and asked the doctor if he could pop in just to say hello. It was hesitant but he eventually agreed, so Kenma was now stuck with mother for a little longer while she drove them both to the hospital. The first thing he did was hand over the basket to me, It was a little scary to suddenly see a large amount of blurry colors headed in your direction, but once kenma came closer and was now in my range of vision, I could feel my lips stretch into a smile.
"Slacking off on medication are we?" I stuck out my tongue in retaliation to his words, I didn't have enough energy to properly speak lately, especially after the seizure, so gestures were all I was capable of doing. He didn't seem to mind and even if he did I knew he wouldn't say anything, instead he pulled my beanie that covered my bald head down to my eyes.
"I have a surprise for you" I couldn't see much but it sounded like he was unlocking his phone, it took a second before he freed my eyes and held his phone in front of me. There on his screen was a picture of a black cat with white paws, the hair on the front of its head slightly fuzzy.
"It looks like you in cat form doesn't it, so I named it Kuro"
I stared at the image until it went fuzzy, the tears began to roll down my cheek and I made no effort to wipe them away. I didn't really have anything to be crying over, maybe it was the fact I'd never be able to see Kenmas new cat in real life, or that my best friend named his kitten after me. I let out a soft chuckle to myself and went to wipe my eyes, but to my surprise Kenmas hands were faster, his finger tips lightly brushed the tears from my cheeks, leaning forward and placing his lips gently on my closed eye.
I'd be lying if I said this wasn't the best feeling I've ever felt, a mix of shock, confusion and happiness flooded into my head, reacting with my cheeks and turning them a pale red color. Kenma had probably gone redder than me, he covered his mouth with one hand and looked down, it was rather funny that he was the one getting embarrassed.
It was silent for a little after that, I could tell he was to shy to explain himself, but I already knew what it meant, so now I just needed to get the words out. It took a little longer than I wanted it to, and I had to take a breathe within every few words, but I said it.
"k kenma, I- I like you t to"
The brightness on his cheeks almost blinded me and this time he buried his face into the side of my bed. I brought my hand and shakily stroked his hair, gosh this kid was cute but can't he at least look at me now that I confessed. Yet again it went quite for a little, I couldn't keep the fond smile away from my lips as I watched him, he was so easy to read, the smaller male was clearly deciding when he should lift his head based on the small movements his hands were moving. Finally he lifted his head and faced me, almost locking eye contact
"the uh the fireworks are in a couple days. You better dress warm okay" He quickly picked up his stuff and fled the room, I followed him out with my eyes until he became a dot of color and was no longer in sight. For the last time tonight I smiled again.
I was really lucky.
