Hikaru woke up early to go visit Koya at the hospital again, he knows that Koya likes to see him but he prefers not to go because he feels guilty about what happened even though it wasn't his fault.
He walked into Koya's hospital room and closed the door quietly because he could see that he was still asleep and he obviously wasn't supposed to be there they didn't allow visitors at that hour. But then he saw a short boy with floofy white hair and spiked up dog ears and a tail, the kid was sitting in a chair with his fingers curled up and his fists on his lap.
He turned around with big bright yellow eyes and smiled at Hikaru.
"Hi! I'm Kirito Kirishima! And you are"? He said while sticking out his hand to shake Hikaru's.
Hikaru seemed a little shocked because he kinda surprised him so he jumped back. He put his hand out to shake Kirito's. "Uh yea I'm Hikaru..Hikaru Matsui" He thought he was a little strange and really energetic but he figured he was Koya's friend and most of Koya's friends are energetic so he didn't think much about it.
They both started talking about who they were to Koya, Kirito even asked "so...are you Koya's boyfriend or something"? Hikaru got bright red and shook his head "What?!! No way I- uh no..I just.."
"HaHaHaHa" Kirito started laughing I'm just messing with you".
At that moment Koya woke up. He saw Hikaru and Kirito and started smiling even tho he looked so beat up with a broken arm and everything he still smiled at them. Hikaru smiled back, just a small little smile because he doesn't like to show people any type of vulnerability.
Kirito shot up so excited to see his friend smiling, he went up to him and hugged him tight, Koya clinched his teeth cuz he was being too rough but hugged back anyways.
"How ya been my dude! I can't believe you got hit by a car! I mean what kind of dunce walks in the middle of the road without looking both ways!" He laughed and ruffled up Koya's hair.
They all smiled and then the doctor came in.
"I- what are you boys doing here? Visiting hours isn't until 9am"
They both bent over and apologized. And Kirito smiled at Koya and said he'd come see him again after school. He smiled at Hikaru and walked out of the room to head off to school.
Hikaru looked at the doctor and asked if he could please just say one last thing to Koya alone before he left. She sighed but smiled and closed the door letting them be alone.
Koya looked a little confused that he wanted to be alone with him but still smiled at him.
Hikaru sat next to him and put his head down not wanting to look at him, one tear went down his chin, it was so small but Koya could see it.
"I..Im sorry Koya..it's my fault"
Koya put his hand on Hikaru's face and put it up to see him but Hikaru pushed his hand away and wiped his eyes even though Koya had already seen his tears. He stood up from his chair and started to walk away. "That's all I wanted to say..." Hikaru said while opening the door to leave. "Hey Hikaru.." Koya said beige he left.
Hikaru looked back at him. "It's not your fault" Koya smiled at him, a boy that was just hit by a car, that was bruised and broken was still smiling, and Hikaru saw that in him and even though he still believed it was his fault he got hurt he still smiled back at him showing a little venerability.A few days later Kirito sees Hikaru walking out of a gas station. He runs up to him "Hey! Hey! Hikaru!" He yelled while waving his arms. Hikaru turned around to see him, he kinda smiled even though he didn't feel like it.
Kirito caught you to him and smiled. "Hey man! Can't believe Koya's gonna be out of the hospital soon, I mean just a few more days!"
Hikaru put his hands in his pockets, "yup"
Hikaru yawned because he's been missing so much sleep because he's been going to the hospital everyday, "so..you and Koya been friends for long"?
"Oh yea, we've been friends almost our whole lives, we've been through so much together" Kirito said while smiling, "so how long have you and Koya known each other"?
Hikaru looked up at the sky, "oh not really all that long, just a few months since my third year in high school started. To be honest he was a real pain in the ass when we first met, he's still a pain in the ass, but he's not as bad"
Kirito looked a little confused and asked "wait..what do you mean"?
Hikaru looked down at his shoes when he began talking again, "well he kept trying to be my friend and he tried so hard..I don't know why, I never understood why he wanted to be my friend so bad.."
Kirito put his hand on Hikaru's shoulder and smiled, "well..Koya's a super nice guy, all he ever wants is to see people smile, so maybe he saw something in you..maybe he saw someone that he knew hadn't smiled in a long time, and wanted to be there to help you smile"
