"I heard you were dating Maki" 

I was frozen in my place when my mom called me out in a serious tone. Gosh! What am I supposed to do, I didn't even bother to tell her that I am homosexual.

"And you skipped school yesterday?" 

She sounded so serious that I felt like facing a sword infront of me. 

"I spoke to the teachers..."

Second by second the tension was filling up, I couldn't even open my mouth to say something as it went completely dry.

"You can take a break for a while and stay with Maki at the hospital"

"AHH!" I looked at her surprised. "Why are you shouting, you don't like it?" She looked back at me confused. "I am mad...that you didn't tell me, but I am sorry too...I don't know if I made you so uncomfortable that you couldn't tell me this" She said looking at me.

"What am I supposed to do with you mom...?" I smiled while tears stirred up in my eyes. "No, you never made me feel that way. I just didn't have the time to tell you...I am sorry" I said and she smiled back with little dewy drops in the corner of her eyes. 

"Thank you mom!" I hugged her tightly. "I will take good care of Maki" I said snuggling into her more. "Make sure he comes back and eats my pancakes" She said and I felt her tears fall onto my shirt. I nodded my head, I will bring him back.

...

"Maki~" I jumped in. "Huh? You skipped school again?" He looked at me confused. "No, My mom spoke to the teachers, they will send me the notes needed, I just need to attended the tests" I said and sat beside him.

"You mom knows?" He curiously asked and I nodded my head. "Who told?!" He asked again. "Niki and Taki" I said and he cussed them under his breathe. I chuckled at his reaction and pulled his cheeks. "You cutie" I smiled and he looked at me with a blank space.

We spoke a lot, I don't even know what we spoke but we kept on talking...I don't want it to be silent, I hate it now...

We roamed around the hospital and slowly walked into the children's ward. I bought some bread so we both could eat and rushed over to him. Maki stood there silently watching the children. I stood beside him and looked at him.

"Do they also go through this pain I am going through?" I looked at him silently watching them. "Does it pain a lot?" I asked him. "It hurts mentally more than physically" He stated and crept my hand and held his. He firmly held it back and turned to me smiling.

"Harua, can you promise me one thing?" He asked and I nodded. "No matter what happens in future, will you be someone who can free these small people from pain?" He asked and I immediately nodded my head.

"Let me do it to my first patient." I said and held out my hand to his chest and held the right side where his heart is. "Abracadabra...I wish Maki is cured completely." I said and smiled and he smiled back.

He hugged me tightly and hugged him back.

...

--Taki--

"Excuse me, I am Maki, oh wait, Masu Riki's friend, which room is he at?" I asked the front desk and she mentioned room 57. I walked into the direction she pointed and got lost in between. "This is 44...this is 64!? Where am I exactly!?!" I groaned.

"At hospital?" I flinched as I heard a manly voice speak.

"huh!?!"

"Are you looking for someone?" He asked and I stood there awestruck. "I like you" I blurted it out. He was the guy I bumped into few weeks back.

"Eh!?" He looked at me confused.

"Ah...I mean, I was searching for room 57" I spoke and he nodded his head. "You are Riki's friend?" He asked and I nodded. "How did you know?" I asked him. "Well, he is my patient" He spoke and smiled. "ah..." 

"What's your name by the way?" He asked. "Takayama Riki" I said and he chuckled. "Riki has a friend named riki too?" He smiled. Gosh! I am supposed to be here support Maki but why am I falling for this old guy here.

"Here" He stopped at a place and I thanked him. "Excuse me..."

"Yes?" He turned towards me.

"What's you name?"

"Why do you need that?"

"Given - Taken, I told you mine shouldn't you tell yours too?" 

"Smart huh...Koga Yudai"

...

--Yuma--

"Asakura!!!" I looked at the girls yell for him while he played basket ball. Why the hell am I jealous when I clearly know that he is a gay like me? I mentally want to slap myself for being so annoying.

"JO!" I yelled loud enough for the court to go silent.

"Let's have a match"

I will make sure you don't score a goal so no girls would bother coming here next time onwards.

He chuckled and smiled.

"Are you sure? I am a really good player"

"Shut it and bring it on"

He smiled and everyone else cleared the court. I could hear the girls go completely silent. I did play it in my middle school so I should still be able to do great.

It started off well. The whole room was filled with tense atmosphere. For now all I could hear was us panting and our shoes screech across the floor. 

As expected I was still doing great.

"Guys! 5 more mins are left for the break to end" A guy yelled. "Sure!" Jo yelled and we both stood across each other while the PE teacher stood in between with the ball ready to throw it any moment.

"3...2...1"

I managed to grab the ball and went for a goal only for the ball to be pushed by Jo. We both played really close by.

This was my last chance. 

Jo 4 : Yuma 3

If I manage to win this then it's a tie but if it's his goal, I would loose which I won't as I hate it.

I dribbled the ball carefully looking at Jo's moves who was infront of me.

He smirked, I don't know for what reason.

He swiftly moved behind me and I felt his hand on mine and another on my waist. He pulled me and helped me shoot the ball into the ring.

*bell rings*

I turned to him confused and He winked while smiling and walked away with his friends.
