Scattered Wishes

Chapter 7

"It's the flu coupled with the bad case of dehydration that did it." Riko said with a frown on her face as she told Kiyoshi and Kagami, who just arrived and asked for the Vice-Captain's current condition.

"Flu?" Kagami asked. "Izuki-senpai has a flu when we were playing those matches?"

"According to the doctor, the flu was just about to start on the days that we were having the matches. But it made its toll on Izuki on that day he was suffering from dehydration. He was extremely tired too, thus worsening his condition." Riko explained.

"Now that you mentioned it, Izuki was less energetic during those days. He rarely even made puns on those days. He was tired easily but I brushed it off because we all had those matches." Koganei said as he looked at the unconscious eagle eyed player.

"According to the doctor, When we arrived, Izuki's blood pressure was so low and he was having problems in breathing already. The doctor had to put a respirator to help him breathe and an IV that has supplements for the dehydration." Riko said. Then she looked at Kiyoshi. "Izuki's condition was so bad on our way here. The fever was so bad and Mitobe had to restrain him from shifting too much."

"The doctor said that he'll be fine though. He will be." Hyuuga told them with a tired smile. "He's out of danger now."

Kiyoshi could only smile as he looked at the now-sleeping vice-captain with a half worried and half relieved expression.

"How's Kuroko?" Hyuuga asked after a few minutes of silence.

"The Generation of Miracles are with him," Kagami said and he got a lot of surprised looks, namely from Koganei, Mitobe, Hyuuga and Riko.

"B-but, I thought-"

"Everything that happened between them is clear now, Riko." Kiyoshi said. "And now, they're all asleep. Surrounding Kuroko actually, with a very thick protective aura. So Kagami and I left. Besides, they need proper rest."

"The way they surrounded Kuroko is scary. It's like... Take Kuroko from us, you'll die." Kagami said.

"Here," Kiyoshi said as he gave Riko his phone.

"You actually took a picture of it?!" Kagami asked.

"It was too cute after all," kiyoshi said with a grin.

It has been four hours since the Generation of Miracles woke up and left Kuroko to sleep even more. But Kise can't leave due to the fact that Kuroko is still using his arm as a pillow, thus he just made himself comfortable and went back to sleep.

Akashi went out to buy some food for all of them, even telling himself to buy Kuroko a vanilla milkshake to brighten up the tealnet's mood.

Murasakibara went out to buy himself some snacks.

Midorima and Aomine stayed at the cafe where they were in before the two left.

"It seems like Kagami and Kuroko got closer after these events had happen," Midorima said.

"Tsk. Even though I don't like Bakagami, he's the only one who makes Tetsu happy." Aomine said as he sipped on his coffee.

"Aren't you going to do anything?" Midorima asked.

"Why would I do something about it?" Aomine asked, getting confused with Modotima's question.

"You like Kuroko, don't you?" Midorima said, frowning a bit.

"Haaaah?!" Aomine looked at Midorima with a surprised look. "I lever liked Tetsu that way! Only that shorty captain of ours likes Kuroko! I only see Tetsu as my best friend! Besides... I already like somebody else."
