Hidden Secrets

Chapter 21 - Reunited (part 2)

The tall red head wasn't really expecting both parties to immediately warm up and accept each other's presence, but that thought was soon discarded once he saw how the group quickly manages to fit in, like friends that hadn't seen each other for quite some time. Kise and Takao's bubbly personality was enough to lighten up the whole mood in the room, and Kagami can't say that he's complaining.

He suddenly felt something stir beside him, and as he turns his head, he watches as the once unconscious tanned male bolted to sit straight up. Aomine grunted while rubbing the back of his neck, where the pain from Haizaki's attack still lingers. Wait, Haizaki?

Blue eyes immediately widen as he scanned the now unfamiliar room before him.

"Aominecchi!" the blond exclaims, while rushing his way to glomp the tanned male.

"W-wha...?" he tries to say, incredibly confused, while in the process of prying the blond's strong hold. His hand unconsciously brushed against the model's arm only to feel the other flinch and whimper in pain. It took him a few seconds to realize the liquid slowly dripping from his hands.

"You're bleeding!" he exclaims with widened eyes in alert and surprise, as he forcefully rolls the blond's sleeves. Aomine was right, a bullet wound was now resting on the model's arm.

Kise gave a nervous smile, and tried to get his arm off the other's strong grip. "I-I'm okay..." he says gently, while clutching his arms in the process. 

"No you're not!" The tanned male clicked his tongue. "What the hell happened?!" He engragely says.

All eyes were now staring at both males.

"Daiki"

A pair of blue eyes then met hetechromatic ones from across the room as a chill immediately went up everyone's spines.

"It would be wise if you keep your voice down and be calm"

The red headed captain says before he glances at the green haired male by the door.

"Shintaro" the male flinches once  name was called, but he quickly recovers. He looks at Akashi while pushing his glasses.

"I assume you know some basics of first aid"

Everyone watches Midorima nod, and began to walk towards the blond and inspect his wounds, but as he did so, Kise reluctantly  to move his arm away from the green head.

"Stay still" he says seriously, making the blond concede once he felt the pain in resisting. 

A minute then passed by, and everyone saw how the green head sigh in relief and exasperation. "He's not in grave danger. I just need some cloth to put pressure on the wound"

"I have a first aid kit" Kagami suddenly intervenes.  "It's in the drawers under my desk"

"I see..."

The green haired male stood up to fetch the said item.

Kise lowers his head in disappointment and shame. "Sorry..." he says, as tears were now forming in his eyes.

"I-If I just stayed hidden behind the table, h-he wouldn't have noticed us and we wouldn't h-have been in this mess..."

"I'm so sorry..."

The tense atmosphere has now returned and engulfed the room.

"No one's blaming you, nanodayo" Midorima quietly says as he went back to treat the blond's wounds.

Golden eyes widened in surprise, taking a glance on the green head beside him.

"B-but..."

The purple head from across the room then decided to approach the blond and began to pat his head."Arara~  Kise-chin shouldn't be crying. What Mido-chin said is true"
