Today was finally hear, it was finally November 5th which meant tonight me and Kenma would be watching the fireworks from the roof top. He had to come a little later today now that he had a cat to look after, we even spoke about sneaking mini kuro in but the doctor over heard us and gave us a scolding. I was shown a variety of picture of him climbing furniture and eating his food, kenma said he even managed to climb onto his dads pillow and peed all over it.
Kenma helped me to get dressed that evening, my arms hadn't lost their mobility yet however they had definitively weakened along with my body as a whole, he slipped on a thick jumper and had brought in a blanket from home that could go over me legs along with a pair of ear muffs and gloves, forget keeping me warm it was like he was trying to bury me alive.
As it was night time the doctors didn't check our rooms as much as we were supposed to be sleeping, not sneaking off to a restricted area. Kenma helped me off the bed and slid me onto my wheelchair that was stacked full of pillows to make it as comfortable as possible, he put the ear muffs on over my beanie then put the gloves on, occasionally asking if it was uncomfortable or if I was warm enough. I nodded as enthusiastically as I could which made kenma giggle before putting the blanket on me and tucking it into the side of the chair. He was dressed in a long black coat and little black ear muffs, looking a little like a vampire or some kind of thief, though a very small one.
Eventually he started pushing me out the door, turning both ways before we headed down the corridor, it was practically pitch black down here with only a few lamps left on so the staff could see where they were going. It was pretty hard for me to give directions considering my eye sight was practically useless when it was day time let alone night time, fortunately I'd told Kenma all about the roof top and he seemed to of memorized the way to go.
A nurse came round the corner all of a sudden, forcing me and Kenma into the corner of the hall way, we both pressed our lips shut and I even held my breath while she walked past, completely oblivious to our existence. We both gave a quite sigh of relief followed by giggled before continuing on, eventually reaching the out of use elevator. Kenma seemed to realise how crazy this plan was and stared hard at me, I did my best to tell him other doctors used this elevator to get to the morgue on the bottom floor, but he seemed even more worried the fact I knew this. It didn't tale much persuasion however, just a frown and a faint 'you promised' before he warily pushed me on and pressed the top floor button.
We began moving and it wasn't long before we reached the top floor and I was being wheeled up a ramp into outside. A gust of wind hit me in the face and sent shivers down my spine, I'd forgotten what being outside felt like, I haven't left that hospital room in almost two months. Kenma quickly came round and knelt in front of me, pulling my scarf up a bit and making sure I had barely any skin exposed, I weakly reached over to him and pulled his hat down a little to cover his ears more, I could see him start to blush again but he quickly stood up and stood behind me, beginning to push me to here the benches were.
He took a seat next to me and all that was left to do was wait. I wish we could take a picture but my phone was back in my room, Kenma however must have had the same thought as me, he took his phone out of his pocket and subtly poked my shoulder to get my attention. I tried to wiggle out of the scarf so I could smile, kenma helped and tucked it under my chin before looking back at the camera and taking our picture. He wasted no time tucking my face back into the warmth of the material before showing me the photo, I squinted hard to see two distorted figures and grinned to myself.
At last, a loud boom echoed through the city followed by a flash of blues and reds, We really could see the whole thing from up here. Kenma faced the direction of the fireworks and followed them up until they exploded, whistles and crackles came from slightly down below where the smaller explosions were being lit, there were loud cheers from the people over at the festival then even more fireworks filled the sky. I tilted my head up to watch them but my eyes kept finding their way to look at the boy besides me, I couldn't tell what I liked more about him, his little hand claps when a firework exploded or the way he rubbed his eyes when the colors emerged.
"They are pretty right? A little bright though, do you like them?" His attention came to me who was currently staring at him, he gave me a small smile before tilting his head.
"Are they too bright for you?"
"I'm not r- really sure. I cant s- see them"
Kenmas smile disappeared immediately, his eyes brimmed with tears as guilt finally overwhelmed him. Of course this isn't what I wanted, not what I had meant and most of all I hated seeing him cry. Without thinking about anything else, I reached over and took Kenmas hand before placing it over where my heart was, I'm pretty sure the amount of fabric I was wearing covered up the heart beat but it didn't really matter.
"I cant s- see them but I can f- feel it h- here. I've never b- been so happy before." I cupped his cheek and wiped away the tear sliding down it, he quickly embraced me and buried his face into my neck, still being cautious not to hurt me. The fire works went on for a little longer before an immense amount of color filled up the sky with a series of booms and claps, and then it was over. It would of been nice to witness the finale of the fireworks, but somehow we got distracted.
Our lips had found contact with each other in an innocent kiss, one that didn't mean romance but still filled with love, Kenma pulled away first and looked down at me, his slightly chapped lips began forming a noticeable smile before letting out a quiet amount of laughter, I laughed with him.
Kenma wheeled me back to my room and helped me undress before getting into bed. I wish he could of stayed the night but he had to go feed kuro, and I knew if I asked him to he wouldn't hesitate to stay. My head was a mess right now but all I could think about was the male in front of me, he was tenderly putting on my night top then pulled the covers up to my neck making sure I didn't catch a cold. He put on his bag and did his coat back up before pecking my forehead and making his way to the door.
"K- kenma wait" He stopped in his tracks before turning to face me, flushed cheeks and eyes faced my way.
"I love you"
At that moment it looked like he was about to cry again, this time out of embarrassment.
"h- hey... don't say such things randomly. Go to sleep. I'll see you tomorrow Kuroo"
He waved to me before practically sprinting out of the room, funnily enough I wasn't upset that he didn't say it back. Besides,
There was always tomorrow
