Hack Into My Heart

Code 23: Saved

He wasn't breathing...

"Yusuke!" I exclaimed, not giving a shit about the men outside. I shook him a few times, but there was no response. With shaky fingers, I grabbed his face and started to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

I repeated it again and again with tears in my eyes, but I managed to bring my lover back to life. Suddenly he coughed and sucked a deep breath, making me the happiest man alive.

"Ka...zu...ya..." he murmured, reaching a hand towards my face. I pulled him up and hugged him tight, trying to pass him some warmth.

"You are okay, thanks heavens, you are okay," I repeated a few times more to myself than to Yusuke. My heart was still beating hard and I had difficulty believing my darling was in my arms again.

"Thank... you," he whispered through his chattering teeth and snuggled up to me more.

Probably, I could stay like that for the whole eternity... if the heavy doors didn't open from outside. Panicking, I pushed Yusuke behind the table, but then I saw it was Ozawa-san who entered.

"Ozawa-san!" I cried out in relief and he ran towards us.

"Are you both okay?" he asked, checking on us.

"Both alive, but Yusuke needs treatment," I said as I lifted my half-conscious darling up in bridal style.

"The ambulance is already here, you go, I will handle this."

I nodded and rushed out with Yusuke. There I put him onto the stretcher and we were off to hospital.

I waited outside the emergency while they treated Yusuke. Luckily, he was okay, so he was moved to a normal room soon. I sat on the chair beside his bed and held his hand tight as if he would disappear if I didn't hold on to him.

"How is he?" Ozawa-san asked from the door with a whisper.

I smiled and exited the room after Ozawa-san. "The doctor said he is fine, just sleeping," I explained Yusuke's condition with another smile as I was more than relieved to hear he was okay.

"Good good," Ozawa-san patted my shoulder, "you were amazing back there, Yusuke is very lucky to have you."

I shook my head in negative, "no, I am the lucky one," I declared and Ozawa-san gave me an all-knowing smile. Then we sat on the chairs opposite of Yusuke's door to exchange the remaining information.

"Did you catch Watanabe?" I started the conversation.

"Yes, they were already trapped inside KZK, so it was super easy."

"How about Keiji and Mio? I might hurt them a bit," I said with a grimace, but there was no regret in my heart. Didn't they deserve that much by hurting my darling?

"They are okay, already in custody," Ozawa-san reassured me that I didn't become a killer. "I am impressed though, you managed to handle them alone, even saved Yusuke until we arrived. I owe you an apology as I couldn't follow the van to the warehouse. I lost it at the beginning of the area, so I had to check all the warehouses one by one."

I just shrugged, "still, in the end you found us," I said with a smile, showing him that I didn't blame him for the delay.

Ozawa-san chuckled, "it was you again, you sent us the location. Luckily, I was only four warehouses away from that one."

I grinned, "we could make such a good team, ha? Yusuke, you and I."

Ozawa-san patted me on the shoulder, he was really giving a brotherly vibe to me, "I am sure the captain would like to offer you a position after this."

I shook my head vigorously, "I was just kidding, I am fine like this, Yusuke gives me enough headache."

He chuckled, "whatever you say," he said as he stood up, "I will see you later."

After Ozawa-san left, I went into the room again and saw Yusuke was already awake. "How do you feel?" I asked and sat on the bed, beside him.

"I am fine," he held my hand, "thank you for not letting me turn into a bag of frozen peas," he said in a serious manner, contrasting to the hilarity of the words.

I burst into laughter and put my free hand on his hand, trapping it between my hands, "whenever you need... though you would make a gorgeous bag of frozen peas."

"No thanks!"

We laughed a bit, but being a police officer, Yusuke was of course curious about the whole ordeal, so we were down to the serious topic before long. I told him everything happened, including Ozawa-san's side of the story. Yusuke listened to me with wide open eyes and closed lips.

"I knew you were smart, but actually you are a genius!" Yusuke exclaimed when I finished my words.

I chuckled and pushed my bangs aside with a proud manner, "you just noticed that?" I teased him and he gave me a kiss on the lips.

"It was for the apology to notice it too late," he played along.

"Well, it is not enough," I said and pulled him for a better kiss.
