100 Days {Fushimi x OC}

Chapter 16: Feelings aside

~Fuyuki's POV~

Moments right after Munakata-san was stabbed, Awashima-san and Saruhiko appeared at the scene with an ambulance and a bunch of policemen in their cars.

"Captain!" Awashima-san screamed at the top of her lungs as she ran towards us, Saruhiko trailing behind her.

"Awashima-san! The Captain! Ugh..." I reached out to her as I grabbed my bleeding shoulder tightly while I stay by the Captain's side, desperately trying to stop the bleeding.

Awashima-san immediately took me to the ambulance as Saruhiko took Munakata-san to the same ambulance.

"Fushimi-kun stay by Mizuna-san's side and protect the both of them. I'll stay here with the others to arrest the terrorists." She ordered.

He replied with a nod and he closed the ambulance's door as it drove off with me, Saruhiko and Munakata-san. As the third-in-rank in Scepter 4 sat opposite me in silence, the paramedics were swiftly administering first aid on the Captain.

I wonder if he will survive...

Nothing but the sound of the siren and the paramedics using medical terms reverberated in the air for the whole journey to the hospital. Sure I caught Saruhiko taking quick glances at me and my shoulder and clicking his tongue from time to time but that's it.

Reisi Munakata was rushed to the ER at once the moment we arrived at the nearest hospital. As Saruhiko and I ran beside the bed that Captain was placed, I could tell that Saruhiko was just as worried and anxious as I was.

We were at it until we were stopped by one of the doctors telling us "This is as far as you two can go. Young lady, you should get that treated before it gets infected."

As I leave the unscathed man to wait by himself outside the ER, I followed one of the doctors into another room to get my shoulder treated.

It's still hurt a bit but my senses helped me to dull the pain. The look of the doctor's face when he saw the rest of my scars was priceless. I could only smile at him to keep him from asking about them.

Once my treatment was done I head back to where I left Saruhiko all by his lonesome. Our eyes met for while as I walked towards him, sitting next to him.

~Fushimi's POV~

There was nothing but utter silence between us.

"It's all my fault..." she muttered under her breath. That remark caused me to look at her as she faces the hospital floor, disappointment and regret written on her face.

"Tsk. Don't think about it too much. There's nothing much you could've done anyway." I replied, not knowing whether I said that out of concern for her.

Why am I trying to cheer her up? It's not like it'll make a difference.

As she tilted her head downwards and her hair covers her face, she began to shake a bit. "If it weren't for me, the Captain wouldn't be in this condition right now...!" Her voice wavered with guilt.

As my eyes widened with shock, I took it upon myself to hug her, as if acting upon my instincts.

Damn... why does she look like she's about cry?

As I held the petite girl in my arms, I could hear her gasp at me actually hugging her. As soon as she got used to me, she slowly wrapped her arms around me, letting her tears stain my uniform.

Tsk, this is getting annoying. But... if the others see her like this, it'll be even more irritating.

If there was a way to make her shut up and stop crying, I would do it in a heartbeat.

Despite being in that bothersome situation, I wished this moment would last forever. "Tsk, how long are you going to cry for?" I pulled her away from me.

Upon seeing her face glistening with her tears, as if triggering something within me, I kissed her, holding the back of her neck as well as her slim waist.

I expected her to slap me or bite down on my lip but she didn't.

Instead, her grey eyes widened with my lips touching hers before closing them and kissing me back. I was probably imagining things but I felt her cry even harder at that moment.

At that time, I failed to notice the rest of the special unit team was there spectating the whole thing.

~3rd Person's POV~

As Saruhiko comforted our dear Fuyuki thinking she blames herself for the entire thing, little did he know that the real reason for her tears was the opposite reason...

After the rest of Scepter 4's special unit members assembled at the hospital after apprehending the terrorists, they anxiously waited for the results of their Captain's operation.

The air was filled with tension and everyone was held in suspense, awaiting for the surgeon's arrival.

As everyone grew weary and tired from the waiting, everyone shot up to their feet the moment they heard the sound of the door opening.

"How's the Captain?!" Everyone exclaimed, Awashima-san especially. "If Munakata-san was delivered to us any later, he would not have made it through."

A sigh of relief escaped everyone's lips. They knew that their Captain would be alright and that was enough.

As Fuyuki made a contorted look, she volunteers to watch over the captain that night, making the rest think she's doing this out of guilt.

The lieutenant hesitated a bit before letting her do this but allowed her anyway on the condition she stays with her as well.

Of course our dear gloomy boy volunteered as well but was shut down by Fuyuki saying that she'll be fine without him, giving him a weak but reassuring smile.

And so, the long nights of guarding the unconscious Munakata began.
