"Now tell me, young man. What have you been doing for the past two months, with no calls or messages or signs that you were still alive?" he asked worryingly.

"Uhmm... midterms?" shrugged Akaashi with a giggle.

"Don't lie to me. I called your school and they told me you had no upcoming exams. So tell me the truth."

"In all honesty doc, I was just lazy."

"That's why you haven't come to work? Because you were lazy" as he thwacked Akaashi's forehead with his finger.

"Anyways, enough about this. Since you're here and I was about to go to your house, I've assigned a new task for you. You'll be taking care of a cancer patient. Now I know it's your first time handling a proper assignment, but I do think you're more than capable enough, so do not let me down."

Akaashi stood there. Not knowing if this was an honour or the greatest mistake Dr. Tetsurō ever made in the 27 years he has lived. However, he started to get excited. His first ever real assignment and if he does well he could even get a promotion!

"Are you for real doc? Do you know how long I've waited for this moment! OH MY GAWSH!" Akaashi squealed in happiness.

"Now you wouldn't be working alone. I'll be guiding you from time to time to make sure you're doing well and I'll also be doing regular check-ups on the patient."

"Ai, Ai Captain", as he saluted Tetsurō.

"Wow... you never fail to amaze me, do you. Now come along, I'll bring you to see the patient."

"Comin-". Akaashi started to feel a bit hazy. He became paler and started sweating as if something was eating him alive. He tried to control himself and used Tetsurō's shoulder so he could walk properly.

"We're here. Now be nice alright, he's still quite in shock."

The door opened and the familiar sound of ringing bells engulfed his ears. His skin colour went back to normal. He was no longer sweating. The dizziness was no longer there.

"Akaashi meet Bokuto, Kōtarō Bokuto."
