Friend Zone (Kise Ryouta fanfiction)

Eight

A couple of hours later, Aomine said that he will talk to Kise for a moment. I almost forgot the scar my stepbrother left Kise. A deep wound staying with him emotionally.

Honestly, I overheard their conversation which goes like this.

"Kise, still not getting over the fact that I already won?"

"I got over it."

"Really?"

"I did. The fact is... I can't accept that you are Mei's stepbrother."

"I won't let you marry Mei easily. I'm a strict one."

"What's with the marriage stuff?" Kise yelled.

"Beat me, one on one."

"Why would I? I don't like Mei at all, we're just bestfriends. Super friends. Me and Meicchi."

"You might change your m--"

I was trying to stand up and listen to the conversation of the two; reaching a glass of water would be not hard, right? It fell on the ground.

Kise opened the door. Our eyes met. He asked, "are you okay, what happened?"

"I was trying to get the glass of water. I thought I would disturb you... wait. Forget it. I want to drink, I am thirsty."

"You shouldn't even be walking right now. You should've called me or your stepbrother instead. Shouting is a way."

"I'll get her a bottle of water instead." said Aomine then left.

"Thanks." I replied.

"Come on, let's get you to your bed." he said as he carried me.

He placed me on the bed. I noticed something on his shirt, right on the chest part.

"Kise, you have blood on your shirt, what's wrong?"

"Wait, I'm not bleeding." he stared at me. "You are!"

"What?" I yelled. "How come I did not notice it? Call a nurse or whatever!"

Yesterday was a disaster. My arm bled out because of the broken glass. It was my fault; I eavesdropped.

Aomine and Kise went back to their schools because today is a Monday and I feel so free yet stressed. My teammates will probably not visit me for what I have done. I am a great loss but Kise told me that as a captain of the group, I should trust each one of my teammates. They are not just my typical teammates but they are my comrades.

The problem is, how can I follow the lessons in school? It's not like Kise and I have the same subject teachers or sections. We're not classmates. Plus, he kind of sleeps in some subjects so how can I expect him to give me notes?

"Ms. Mei, you're going to be transferred today in Kanagawa."

"What? Now?"

"Yes."

"Yes, do not mind my question or my reaction earlier." I smiled.

I was worried about my brother. What if he visits me? Such stress!

While I was being transferred by an ambulance, thoughts have started to appear in my mind. Thoughts from the volleyball championship to be held on Friday and it really is increasing the stress within me.

What if my comrades get angry at me?

What if they blame me?

What if they think that my injury is a burden to the team?

No, I am giving problems to myself. It is not helping my recovery at all.

"Ms. Mei, we're here. Do you want me to call your family to inform them?"

"Just call this number instead." I gave a paper where Kise's number is written.

A couple of hours and minutes passed by, someone knocked on the door and entered.

"Meicchi, I have something for you." Kise smiled.

"What is--"

They entered the room, greeted me with such happiness and their facial expressions, they were worried.

"Mei, I'm sorry about what happened last Saturday."

"No, it's okay. Did coach come too?"

"She's in school."

"Please tell her that I am so sorry."

"Mei... for what? Because of what happened, we almost trained nonstop just for you. We were ashamed of ourselves by that time."

"You don't need to be!" I said. "You need to be strong, okay? As a captain, I am the one who should be embarrassed and stuff. I acted rudely in front of those Seirin students. I'm not sure if it was worth it but I guess, it is... or not."

"Anyway, let's go off topic." one said.

"We already reserved you a seat for the volleyball championships."

"Not only that but also your VIP ticket... our VIP ticket, I mean for the basketball championships."

"But that is too much! How much is that? I will pay you, promise. That's a debt." I reacted.

"Shush." the sub-captain said.

"You are going to watch whether you like it or not. We must support Kaijo!"

"But I cannot walk yet!" I yelled.

"That's why we did a fund-raising event in school. Not only for your wheelchair but also to ship most donations worldwide."

"What." I said in shock. My emotions had gone away.
