Lying is a Sin, A Sin Hanagaki Takemichi Commits Too Often

The Big Fucking Reveal (are you happy now?)

August 1st, 2017

"Tachibana-san, if you can't calm down Hanagaki-san's friends, I will have to call security," Dr Morisuke warned.

"I understand. I'm sorry for their actions but surely you can understand their reactions to such news."

The doctor nods, "Yes, but for now, we are still trying to stabilise Hanagaki-san, and constantly having people burst in and making noise outside the room is very distracting."

Naoto nods, "I will do my best. But...Dr Morisuke, can you be honest with me? How long does he have left? Does he still have two months?"

Dr Morisuke pauses for a moment before shaking his head, "Two weeks at most. I'm sorry about your friend. Hanagaki-san has been a pleasure to know this past year and a half."

Mikey had called Draken in a panic during the ambulance ride. The paramedics had assured him Takemichi had simply fainted and that he would be fine but he didn't believe them. Especially after what Takemichi told him right before he passed out.

But that phone call, all it did was fill him with an indescribable amount of rage.

.

"Draken! Oh...Oh I don't know what to do! Takemitchy- he....oh he has terminal cancer Draken! He-he passed out right in front of me and we're in the ambulance right now. Can you meet me there? Call everyone else, they need to know!"

There was a long pause on the other end of the line before Draken finally answered with a heavy sigh, "I know he has cancer, Mikey. But I will call everyone to meet there. See you soon."

"What? Wait a minute, you knew? You knew and you didn't tell me!"

"It wasn't my decision to make. Sorry. Bye."

Mikey damn near snapped his phone in half after Draken hung up on him. His best friend knew. Who else knows? There has to be others? Is he the only one who didn't know?

.

Being told he had to wait in the waiting room while they moved Takemichi to a room and trying to stabilise his vitals was the most frustrating thing he had ever heard. Why couldn't he go with him? But soon he wasn't alone. Because Draken soon entered the room, a sullen look on his face, with a frantic Inui Seishu trailing behind him, both adorned in their D&D Motors uniforms.

"Ken just tell me what's going on, why won't you say anything?" Inui begged. His eyes caught Mikey's dishevelled appearance and rushed over to him.

"Mikey-kun, do you know? Why is Ken calling everyone to come here?"

But all Mikey could do was chuckle emotionlessly, "So you didn't even tell your lover, Draken?"

"Mikey, don't be angry with me. Or anyone, especially Takemichi. He's suffered enough."

Inui's head whipped back over to Draken's direction, "This is about Takemichi? What's wrong with him?"

But neither Draken nor Mikey answer. They simply glare at each other. Just like they did when Emma was in hospital. Both blaming each other for not protecting her.

"Tell me already! Ken...please tell me."

"Sei..." Draken diverted his attention back to his lover, "He's not well. And he doesn't have long left. It's cancer."

"What the hell did you just say?" But it didn't come from Inui.

No, it came from Mitsuya, who had just arrived alongside Hakkai after receiving a very confusing call from Draken, simply saying to rush to the Tokyo Hospital. His lavender eyes were blown wide at the information that he just heard.
