A Small Accident.. (Tsukasa Angst)

saki at the hospital? no, tsukasa 👹👹

Everything else was a blur for Rui after that. He simply woke up the next morning in his bed. How did he get here, though?.. He sat up, scratching the back of his head as he looked around. He then glanced over at his phone, seeing that there was a new notification.

He picked up his phone. A text from Emu? "WE ARE GOING TO THE HOSPITAL FOR TSUKASA DO YOU WANT TO COME, ITS OKAY IF NOT.." He read. Of course, Emu was typing in all caps. But..that fact didn't make him feel better. There was that feeling of shame again. He remembered everything that happened last night.

He shouldn't go. He was sure Tsukasa wouldn't want to see him. He put all of his trust into him, and to think that this trust just disappeared so quickly..He tensed up. But-it'd be disrespectful if he didn't go, right? No..He should just stay at home. He sighed, not bothering to respond to her message and putting the phone back down.

"No response..!" Emu cried out, looking up at Nene. Nene furrowed her brows, looking at Emu's phone for a moment, before glancing back at Tsukasa, that was fast asleep on the hospital bed. "He's upset, I think. We should probably leave him alone." She spoke.

Saki sat in a chair right next to Tsukasas bed, tapping her foot nervously on the floor. She just wanted him to wake up already. She held his hand tightly, looking down on the floor nervously. She was scared. What if he doesn't make it? No- she shouldn't think of such things.

Emu frowned slightly. "Okay.." She glanced at the ground for a split second, before looking back up at Tsukasa. They all waited for some feedback on the nurse, impatient. During the wait, however.

Tsukasas eyes fluttered open slightly. Where was he..? He squinted at the ceiling, only to notice that there was Emu, Nene, and Saki around the bed, sitting in chairs. "Huh..?" He spoke weakly.

Saki gasped. "Tsukasa!" She blurted out, hugging him, or at least trying to. Emu's eyes went wide as she saw that the other open his eyes. "You're up!" She smiled brightly, hugging him as well. Nene chuckled softly, hugging him as well. Tsukasa let out a small grunt at the tight hug from his sister. "Hey guys." He smiled, hugging back happily.

"Ah..Where am I? I have a headache.." He frowned slightly. "But it's nothing a star finds challenging." He chuckled. Saki's eyes began to water. "You got hit by some rod at the back of the head during a performance! Are you okay?! Everyone was so worried..!" She sniffled, trying to wipe her already forming tears. Emu nodded. "Mhm, Mhm!" She said in agreement.

Tsukasa's smile quickly faded from his face. "Oh," then it all came flooding back to him. The last thing he could remember was standing proud on a tall structure, his head up high and then..a sharp pain. A very sharp pain on the back of his head..and..everything was a blur, after. "I remember now.." His eyes went down to the blanket that covered him, meanwhile his hand gave his sisters hand a reassuring squeeze.

He felt so bad. Everyone and their kids witnessed him getting struck on the back of the head. And the amount of blood..? He was sure there was blood. Poor children.. Emu then sat up in her seat. "Quick! What's my name?!" She blurted out, as she furrowed her brows. "Ehh- Emu-!" She frowned.

"Huh? It's Emu. Emu Otori. You thought I forgot about all of you guys?" He laughed. "I would never!" He smiled brightly. Emu sighed in relief, the girl sitting back down in her seat, meanwhile Nene began scolding her about how rude and random that was.

Tsukasa then turned his head to Saki. "You have school..Why are you here?" He asked, raising a brow. His sister frowned. "Because, you're my brother..! You visit me all the time in the hospital..I should return the favor." She stated. Tsukasa smiled softly.

Their moment was soon interrupted by the sudden sound of a door slamming open.

Everyone looked over, only to see the director panting for breath. "Rui?!" Nene said in awe. Emu sat up once more. "RUI!!" She said happily. Rui stood up straight once he caught his breath. "Erm." He wasn't sure what to say. "Sorry..for being late." He smiled awkwardly, his eyes locking onto Tsukasa. He then felt that shame and guilt once more. He wanted to leave already.

Tsukasa waved. "Hey, Rui." He smiled. Rui stood still, almost as if he were frozen in place. What was this feeling? He felt so..bad, seeing him in this state. It was his fault. He let out a shaky breath. "Hey,"

They went silent for a moment. And the silence was loud. "..Uh, is something the matter, Rui?" Tsukasa asked. All eyes were on Rui. "No. Not at all." He managed to put on a small smile. He was in relief that the other wasn't dead, but..still. He hurt him.

Emu smiled happily. "We're glad you made it, Rui!" She said in delight. Rui nodded in response, simply taking a seat that was around the others bed and keeping his eyes fixated on the floor.

Then, the nurse walked in.

"Ah..Sir..?" Her eyes went to Tsukasa.
