Lovesick (Puzzleshipping)

Chapter #12

Yugi's POV.

I nervously got into the doctor's office. I didn't like the tone Tea spoke with.. I hope it's not too serious.

"Mr Sennen?" I didn't notice he was calling me. I forgot I'm pretending to be a family member. I was still deep in thought.

"Excuse me Mr Sennen?" That drew my attention.

"Y-yes? Sorry I was deep in thought." I smiled nervously rubbing the back of my head.

"Take a seat please." He motioned to the seat in front of him.

"Yes sir.." I sat down.

"Well.. The blood tests show that he's on some type of drugs. In fact an overdose of this type of drugs cause severe nerve damage and might actually kill him. Did you bring the medications he takes like you were asked." His tone was ever so serious.

"Y-yes.. Here it is..please take a look." I was really shocked and worried about Yami.. How come he's on drugs and where did it come from?

"This!!" He held a tiny bottle of some liquid substance. "This had been banned from usage years ago. Who's behind this!?" He's very angry all of a sudden.

"I don't know... Wait! This was with the medicine his maid used to give him! It must be her!"

"We have to call the police at once."

"We have to help him at once! She has disappeared a while back! It's my fault that I didn't investigate them..but Yami really needs our help." my voice was breaking. But I had to keep my composure.

"Listen, I used to supervise on his situation a while back before another family member suggested a ' better doctor ' but even after so, I kept contact with his father. Until one day I was in a big distress."

*flashback starts*

Aknamkanon: I've heard about what happened to your daughter. Take this.

Doctor: But what is this sir?

Aknamkanon: The money you need for the surgery.

Doctor: But sir I can't accept th-

Aknamkanon: You've helped my son once. And I know that one day when he needs you, you'll do it again. Take the money and get your daughter the help she needs.. What do we have that's more precious than them? Hm..

Doctor: Thank you. I will never forget this favor Mr Sennen.

Aknamkanon: Off you go.

*flashback ends*

"He helped my daughter when she needed a serious surgery as fast as possible.. If it weren't for his help I'd have lost her forever.." He said while holding a frame with a picture of a beautiful young woman. "That's her now.. My daughter Mai."

"I am glad she's doing well in the present day." I was about to say something else but then he brought some files and started to check them out.

"Eight years ago, he survived a cardiac arrest as he lost his mother. He was put in a medically-induced coma and his family were told that there might be a possibility he's brain damaged or disabled, but he woke up just fine." the doctor sighed deeply.

When he said that I felt like it was yesterday. I remember when he didn't show up to school. And I was worried because he made sure to come every day for me. He was my best friend and my only friend..Nobody told me what had happened until a few years later when we actually started dating and brought it up. However, I made sure to visit him when I heard he was at the hospital. Silly little me got terrified when I saw all the tubes and machines he was put on at first ..but I also made sure to entertain him and read him short stories to sleep.

"four years ago, a car hit him..got a concussion. He survived but was left with a disability and amnesia. He could not walk anymore and got a memory loss." He stopped reading.

"Then he had a surgery to walk again but it wasn't successful." I sighed.

"No, it medically states that it was successful. He wasn't able to walk again because of this." he squeezed the tiny bottle in his hand. "I promised his father to help him. I owe him a lot. I won't hesitate to do all I can so you, too have to trust me."

"I think I trust you."

He nodded then opened a secret locker and took out a tiny bag with three pills in it. "You have to bring him to my clinic and this has to be done before you and I go to jail."

"What??" I raised my eyebrow in confusion..

"The toxins are surely running in his blood right now causing more damage. This is going to help him completely heal. But it's been banned as well.. I had only kept it in case a day like this comes."

"But why does he have to come to your clinic? I can take care of him by myself.."

"Someone has to be there when his body reacts to the pills. He'll lose blood so we also need to find a blood donor."

"What's his blood type?"

"O- and that means he only receives blood from an O- like him."

"I am an O- myself. I will donate blood and please doc, don't argue with me about my decision." I hissed.

"Fine.. Our appointment is tomorrow at 7 AM, mental preparation is important and you have the rest of the day for that."

"Okay.."

*In the bus.*

I will do my best to protect you Yami. Even if it costed me my life. You have done a lot for me. Mana said that I was your source of hope but in fact it was the other way around.. You were always there for me.. Providing me with love, hope, protection.. I will never forget the first hug you gave me it's always soothed me and it still does. I guess people can't really get over their habits or maybe I just find peace and safety when I am close to you.. And it's my turn to pay back.

*flashback starts*

Yami: Yugi where are you?? I know you're hiding somewhere on the roof!!! Please show up! I am only here for you!

Yugi: So you're not here to bring me back to class? *sniffs*

Yami: if you don't wish to go back I would never do something against your will. I am here to comfort you because we are friends and that's what friends do for their friends.

Yugi: I am behind the red box...

Yami: Here you are! Please don't cry.. You are better than them all!

Yugi: But they were laughing at me Yami.. Everyone was laughing at me because I am short and weak..

Yami: you are short but you are not weak. We are only 7 years old we have the whole life to get taller and stronger!

Yugi: I am insignificant.. I don't have any friends and nobody likes to be around me.

Yami: I am your friend!! *grabs Yugi in a hug* I like to be around you Yugi.. We will be friends forever! I wouldn't cry about the rest because they suck.

*flashback ends*

I still remember how that hug felt. I've always loved hugs.. But a hug when you're feeling really down feels special. But you lied to me Yami. You said we were going to be friends forever but little did you know we were meant to be much more than just friends..

"Next time you decide to sleep in my bus bring a companion so you won't miss your stop. Now get out."

"Y-yes.."

I didn't know what the doctor meant by mental preparation..but I guess I can do it. I stared at the door for a few minutes before entering. "Here we go."
