They eventually pulled up to the cancer treatment clinic and Kiyoomi banged his forehead on the steering wheel, letting out a sigh of relief. He got out of the car and opened the trunk to unfold the wheelchair.

Sakusa finally got it out and atsumu put an arm around sakusa's neck and hobbled to the seat.

The black haired boy pulled a patterned scarf from the back seat and wrapped it around the boy in the wheelchair, earning a sweet and innocent smile from him.

Kiyoomi began to wheel him to the waiting room where they sat amongst other patients and carers. "Omi did you tell Samu about me?"

"Oh shit I didn't-"

"It's okay I can tell 'im when he gets home. Besides he's back tomorrow!"

How is this kid so damn optimistic and happy all the time? His cancer has gotten alot more worse and he's more focused on his brother coming back home? I don't get him...

He sat in his wheelchair, playing with his thumbs whilst sakusa sat next to him scrolling on his phone. He got a text from his cousin, Komori.

From Komori

Sent to Komori

From Komori

Sakusa slipped his phone back into the broken pocket in his jacket and snatched a magazine from a stand. But that was when he heard atsumu mumble something. "What'd you say?"

"Oh! Uh I said d-do you like me..."

"You're my team mate i-"

"Like more than that though." the blonde said casually. Kiyoomi's heart began to pound inside of him and his shoulders tensed. Seems like atsumu was already ahead of him. But he had to be sure before he said yes. "Friends...?"

"No omi like a crush..."

"I-"

"Ah I should've known yer straight. Its alright. I just though I'd let ya know that I like ya."

Did I really just mess this up? This kid's life is ending and I'm sitting here watching a wish of his be destroyed? I-I love him too...

Kiyoomi watched as the boy chuckled to himself in disappointment and hung his head, chin touching his chest. But Kiyoomi's eyes darted around the room and he grabbed atsumus hand and held it.

Atsumu tilted his head and widened his eyes. "I-I do like you dumbass. I just didn't know if you liked me too and i-"

"You like me too?"

"Y-yeah... I mean yeah I do."

"What does it mean for... Us then..." Atsumu said as he leaned in towards Kiyoomi, fingers still intertwined. "Tsumu..." He said under his breath in a shaky and awkward tone. "Omi..."

Their faces were only centimetres apart and it was as if fate had finally met them and brought them together. Just as the space between them was to be no more, the nurse called Atsumu's name.

That god damn nurse.

"Atsumu Miya?" The nurse said, a nerdy looking practitioner not far behind her.

Kiyoomi wheeled atsumu to the room and the nurse drew the blue curtain around the 4.

"Right Mr Miya! My name is Asyumi and I'm your nurse today! You are here for... Blood tests and some antibiotics correct?"

"Yup. Who's he though?"

"Ah this is Akiro my assistant. He's a practitioning doctor."

"Oh alright."

The nurse grabbed the tubes for the first blood test and Atsumu's hands began to shake. "You scared of needles then tsumu?" Sakusa asked, obviously already knowing the answer. "N-no! Of course not!"

Asyumi grabbed the needle and approached atsumu slowly. She attached the strap to his weak arm and prepared the needle. "Alright Mr Miya look away... Now."

Atsumu immediately grabbed sakusa's hand as if it was a natural reflex, squinted and turned his head to Kiyoomi.

Sakusa's cheeks began to heat up as he got flustered by the slight embrace between the two.

Yeah because he's definitely not scared of needles. Idiot 🙄

"All...done! Now please take yourselves up the corridor and wait outside room 37, they'll call you soon."

The boys waved Asyumi and Akiro off and went to where they were told. They entire wait was in an awkward silence, both gazing at the old whitewashed wall in front of them.

Not long after, they heard an old voice from a taller man come from room 37.

"Atsumu Miya?" he said clearly. Kiyoomi pushed atsumu into the room and sat on the spare chair behind him.

The treatment was slow and painful for atsumu and after an hour and a half, they were assigned to pick up more meds at the open chemist near the cafes and registration office. "Ya know where we're going right omi?"

"Nope no idea. Can you remember?"

"No I'm sorry. My heads all..."

" It's fine. I'll find it."

Atsumu nodded and tried to be as helpful as he could when being pushed around in a wheelchair. Kiyoomi eventually found the chemist and picked up the medicine after waiting in a very long queue.

It had been 40 minutes and they were still in the queue. Sakusa was standing above atsumu when he felt the blonde's head bang onto his stomach. He had thrown his head back and was now gazing up into Kiyoomi's dark and mysterious eyes.

"Whatcha doing hm?"

"I'm bored omi."

"*cute scoff noise* can't help you there. Shouldn't be too long now. Only three people in front of us."

"Hmph okay."

"I can take you to dinner afterwards if you're hungry?"

"Yes please!"

"Ok."

Eventually, the three in front of them disappeared of to wherever and the two were at the front, next to be served. "Uh hi I'm here to pick up meds for Atsumu Miya."

"Ok love. There's quite a lot so give me a minute."

"Okay thank you." The nurse ran off and grabbed six large containers of pills, three slightly smaller boxes and a pill organiser in two plastic bags.

"Holy-" Kiyoomi said, genuine shock all over his face. "I know, bless the poor boy. Instructions are on the box. Have a great day sweet. Next!"

Atsumu giggled sakusa's expression. "You for real need all this shit?"

"Yup!"

"damn..."

They got to the parking lot and Kiyoomi put the meds in the cooler bag in the back seat.

"You wanna grab dinner?"

"Yeah let's go omi!"
