Sky & HE★VENS

Selfishness

"I'm not against it. I'm just worried." Eiichi repeated for about the twentieth time.

"And again, you start saying this now? When you could finally get her the thing she wanted most?" Nagi asked with an eyebrow raised.

"What if something goes wrong?" The brunette shot back with a glare.

"Like what?"

"... I don't know. I'm not a doctor." He shook his head. "But still-"

"You'll never know if you don't give it a chance." The younger boy cut off.

"I'm not taking the risk of her losing her sight completely!"

"I'm pretty sure it won't make much of a difference for her anyway."

"Well that's... That's... " He's got a point there. Eiichi sighed. "That's true..."

Nagi smiled victoriously as he entered the lounge room. "The sooner you get it done, the sooner your anxiety disappears!"

"What anxiety?" A raven haired girl asked, lifting her head up from her omelette.

"Hikari!" Nagi dashed towards her, squeezing her tightly. "You're back? Since when?"

"An hour ago." She replied smiling. "And Natsuki wanted me to give you this." She handed him a small box.

Nagi felt unsure, but took the box and opened it anyway. He sweatdropped at the Piyo-chan keychain inside. "Well... Tell him I say thanks...?"

"Mmhm. Now can you answer my first question. What anxiety?" She repeated.

"And whose is it?" Shion asked from beside her, rather worried.

"Is Eiichi still worried about that?" Van looked up from the television as he joined in the conversation. "I thought you were already over it."

"It's not something I can just push to the back of my head..." The brunette muttered his reply.

"Am I missing something here?" Hikari asked, blinking.

"It's about your surgery." Nagi answered.

Hikari blinked. "Wha..?"

"We've saved up enough. You can go make an appointment with the doctor whenever you want." The brunette explined briefly. "I just checked over the savings yesterday, and I figured I should just let you know today since you were at Shining Agency at the time."

Hikari wasn't sure how to react. She was happy of course, however... "Wow... That's pretty... Sudden..."

"I know. Just give it time and think about it." He said, walking over to pat her head.

"That's not what you said before..." Nagi muttered, fuming a bit.

Hikari finished up the remains of the omelette and went to the sink to put it away, as well as get a drink from the counter. Little did she know, the others were staring at her. All of them, most especially the glasses-wearing brunette, awaiting her answer. She sat down on the couch, about a seat away from Van. "I think... I'll try to get it as soon as possible."

Eiichi noticably stiffened, but he agreed. No one else had opposing thoughts so they left it at that. However, a certain silent member, who had heard everything from the kitchen, was very much aware of his friend's uncertainty.

"I'm not against it. I'm just worried." He repeated once again.

"What exactly are you worried about?" Kira had taken the move to bring his leader up to his room for privacy.
