Scattered Wishes

Chapter 8

A.N.:

I have plans for Akashi. I don't think it will be revealed anytime soon. *evil grin*

This chapter is centered on Izuki and Takao. So if you're interested how these two became a couple, this chapter is for you. :3

---------------------------------------

"It has been four days since Izuki was confined in the hospital. And two days since he woke up. But he's still pretty much out it, just like Kuroko..." Hyuuga said as he and Riko visited the black haired teen.

"Kuroko's out of it because of the medicines the doctors had been injecting on him. And the painkillers they injected on Kuroko has a high dosage." Riko explained. "Izuki however, is still recovering from the double sickness he just had."

"Tsk. To think this is the first time I saw Izuki in this kind of state." Hyuuga said.

"The way Shun looked at us blankly when he first woke up was really terrifying." Takao said with a pained grin.

/FLASHBACK/

"It's a good thing Izuki's fever went down to 38.7. That fever he had back then scared the crap out of me." Hyuuga said as he ate the sandwich he bought along with him.

"Who wouldn't panic after seeing someone wheezing and struggling to breathe?" Koganei asked "and Mitobe wants to add the struggling that Izuki did when we were at the cab."

"At least the doctors managed to stabilize his condition." Riko said.

"Oh yeah, how did you know about Izuki's condition, Takao?" Kagami asked.

"Before you answer that, Takao, what are you doing here Kagami? Aren't you supposed to be with Kuroko?" Hyuuga asked.

"There are flying scissors when you try to enter the room unless you're a doctor, senpai. According to Kise, Akashi wants Kuroko to fully recover. And somehow... I can feel that they are still feeling guilty with what happened. The best thing to do is to let them take care of their youngest member." Kagami said, earning a nod from all of the occupants of the room.

"Shin-chan called me." Takao said. "At first, I couldn't understand what he was trying to say then he just said that Shun was rushed to the hospital with a near critical condition, that's when I started to panic." Takao said. "I really ran from my place to the hospital, thinking that getting a cab or something will just take more time when I can actually start getting here when I run."

"If it was me, I would've done that too," Kiyoshi said with a forced grin. Then he noticed a small movement coming from the bed. "Izuki!"

With Kiyoshi's sudden shout, all of the visitors in the room looked at the hospitalized teen.

Izuki's eyes gently twitched and when they opened, they saw that Izuki's eyes were hazy and tired. A small groan escaped from the small teen which woke Takao from his moment of shock.

"Shun," Takao said as he gripped Izuki's hand. "How are you feeling?"

"K-Ka...zu?" Izuki said and all of them winced at the sound of Izuki's voice. Raspy and very dry. "Tir'd..."

"I'll go get a doctor and inform them that Izuki's awake," Koganei said as he went out of the room.

Kiyoshi gently propped up Izuki and Mitobe made him drink a little water before they made Izuki comfortable on the bed again.

"What... Happened?" Izuki asked as he looked around. "Where..."

"Hospital. You collapsed a few days ago due to exhaustion and slight fever but it started to raise up in a intolerable level so we brought you here." Kiyoshi explained.
