"It's not your fault at all!" He gently smiled "so don't blame yourself"

He laid back down, as he took one last glance at the sleeping figure, as he himself went to sleep and went to the dreamworld.

CURRENT CHAPTER :

Author's PoV :

The girl fell asleep earlier than she expected, due to her lack of sleep last night and stress. The sun was surely rising up as the presence of a dead hospital was overthrown by bustling people who're coming for work, and children's laughter from playing.

The Matsuno brothers, three out of five to be exact, did not expected to have a surprise guess. Nevertheless a sleeping figure of a childhood friend and unconscious brother, but what shocked them even more was their brother, Ichimatsu, was holding someone else's hands. As the other two secretly made a high five to one another.

Some of them turned into a stone, crying, as they slowly turned into a dust of bitterness and jealousy.

"No way!"

"This is some kind of joke right?" Choromatsu stood there like his feet were glued to the floor "RIGHT!?"

"Damn it, Ichimatsu!" Osomatsu cursed as his tears were overflowing like a host "I'm so jealous! You don't know how much I want to be in your position"

Due to the bickering of the three brothers, the two sleeping figures woke up. And their mood was certainly not that pleasant, both of them was irritated to be woken up by a yelling Matsuno's.

"SHUT UP! I'M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" Said by one feminine and one deep voice in unison, both of them has their brows scrunched down.

The rest of the Matsuno brothers was shocked at their conciouss brother. A couple seconds past when Jyuushi and Kara were smirking and grinning to themselves which made the irritated duos wondering. Then the realization hit them, their gaze went to their hands, which was still intertwined together. Both of them were blushing furiously, as if they were splashed by pink and red paint in their whole face.

Then Akemi and Ichimatsu's gazes met each other. Which caused them to flinch.

"I-I, I c-can explain!" Akemi removed her hands in Ichimatsu's, her face was beet red and was a mess "I-it's not what y-you guys think?!"

"Y-yeah!" Ichimatsu nodded, trying to help Akemi.

"Aha! Ichimatsu nii-san was aware she was holding your hand!" Jyushimatsu loudly, enough for Akemi stop moving.

Karamatsu then noticed that Akemi's sould was leaving her physical form and started to head up and informed Choromatsu, who was now panicking.

"Oi! Akemi, get a grip on!" Choromatsu shook Akemi back and forth.

"Ahhh! I can see Akemi-chan's soul!" He shouted, completely amazed "Ichimatsu-nii, this is bad! You need to save her!"

Jyushimatsu casually scooting over, as he walked closer to Akemi scooping her easily then tossing her to Ichimatsu like a sac of bag. Ichimatsu caught her easily which made Akemi's position sitting in Ichimatsu's lap as he was gently hugging her.

"Eeek!" Akemi screeched, a bit surprised at Jyushimatsu's action.

Ichimatsu glared at everyone in the room, making everyone flinched. Ichimatsu's face wasn't pleasant to look at when he's pissed.

"Yosh! Let's leave the young ship-err- I mean, the two together" Karamatsu caught everyone's attention, the only who's unaffected by Ichimatsu's glare "I think the two need some time to talk to each other "

Jyushimatsu understood the meaning of Karamatsu's message, he immediately grabbed totty and Choromatsu like a training sack, then dashed outside of the hospital in a bolt. Then Karamatsu pushed Osomatsu out, and bid their goodbye and they'll be visiting later during lunch.

There was only two figures left in the hospital room, Akemi was still sitting on his lap, blushing deeply. As for the male-loving cat, he was still holding on around Akemi's waist. Their gazes met each other and realized their position.

"M-my bad! I'll get of now!" Akemi tried to get off from Ichimatsu but he held on to Akemi even closer.

Ichimatsu pulled Akemi closer to his injured body, leaving the brunette speechless.

"It's not your fault!" Ichimatsu pulled Akemi in a gentle yet tight embrace, as if he knew what Akemi's thinking "it's not your fault, so don't blame yourself"

The room was pregnant with silence, Akemi's eyes widened, she never thought that it would be the first thing that Ichimatsu would say. Her eyes were slowly tearing up, every breath she take was slowly begging to shake as well as her body shivered slightly.

"I don't like you selfish prick!" Akemi confessed, gritting her teeth.

"Yeah, I know" Ichimatsu giggled, at his childhood friend

"You're a selfish brat!" She added.

"Yeah, I know" Ichimatsu laughed a bit, still hugging her.

"You could've died!" Salty beads started to for into Akemi "and everyone would cry for you!"

"Yeah, I know!"

"A-and..." Akemi started crying, small snots were showing "... because of you I wo- would've blamed myself for your death!"

At the moment, the girl couldn't stop her sobs. She decided that if she couldn't control it, then she would have to cry out of her contents. As for Ichimatsu, the boy who's slowly recovering from an injury, did nothing but to pat ther girl's back, trying to calm her down. He was happy at the fact she was crying for him but at the same time he didn't want to see her cry.

Ichimatsu tried to pull away to look at the crying woman but the woman rejected his actions.

"Don't look at me!" Akemi protested "I look disgraceful"

"I don't care, what you look like!" Ichimatsu furrowed his brows at the fact his childhood friend was self-conscious about herself "I've already seen every face you made when we were kids, so why hide now?"

"B-because we were kids at that time!" Akemi answered, as Ichimatsu was able push her out of their hug just to see her face.

"Aha, Ugly as always!" He teased, wiping her tears off, and gave Akemi a tissue to blow her snot "you should smile more, it looks better you"

"Ehehe... it feels like deja vù" she giggled, recalling the past events.

Ichimatsu was proud that he were somehow able to make the sobbing girl to calm herself, and giggle as well! Luck must've been on his side.
'Maybe now's the chance to tell her' Ichimatsu thought to himself.

"Akemi, I..."
