It was a day before their final tour ends. It was hard for Kagami to focus on his work after seeing Kuroko struggling so much yesterday. It was a huge blow for him. He knows Kuroko has been strong all these years but to see her like that has broke his heart. He sighed as he tightens the strings on his bass guitar.

She shook her head, "If…I …don't write…what…I wan…ted...to…write…what…I…have…in…my…heart…I…will…regret…it." she held onto the black marker tightly as she continued writing.

Kuroko looked at Midorima, her sapphires glistened with tears, "It's…my…proof…of…life…"

Nijimura who noticed the taller man looking all gloomy, he tapped the bassist shoulder, “Kagami, just a few more hours alright? And then, you can have the rest of the day, off.” He smiled. Kagami nodded, “Thanks, Boss.” Then he looked at his guitar. The uneasiness in his heart was getting heavier.

“Kagami, we’re starting!” the stage director broke his train of thoughts. Everyone was looking at him. He quickly regains his composure, “Yeah, sure thing.” He shifts the guitar bass in his hands properly, waiting for signal to start the rehearsal.

He took a deep breath as Murasakibara gave the first beat to the song.

‘Tetsu…’

…

It was early in the morning at 7.20, when he was about to end his shift for the day until a nurse rushed to his office. He cancelled his entire plan for the day as soon as he received words of his patient won’t wake. To his fear, the fever that Kuroko should have gotten three days ago has finally caught up.

Midorima watched his patient heaves heavily as droplet of sweats runs down her neckline. Shades of red painted across her flushed cheeks. Her eyes shut close as her face scrunched in pain. The cool compress on her forehead was change by the nurses a few hours ago, and all of its coolness gone down the drain, replaced by heats.

He replaced the cool compress on the bluenette’s forehead. Her eyelids flutters open, revealing a pair of sapphire eyes, glistened with fever, “Doc…tor…?” she croaked as she looks to the side where Midorima standing. The doctor tucked strands of blue locks behind her ears. He smiled, “How are you feeling?”

“What…hap…penned...?” she tries pushing herself up before falling back onto the bed. Gently, Midorima helped her up and stuffed a pillow behind her. Then, he gave her a cup of water as she sipped slowly through the straw he prepared, “You’re having a fever. You’re lucky, that the nurses checked on you else it could have gotten worst.”
