Chapter: 9 - A Butterfly's Dream
Characters: NEWS members, Tackey
Fandom: Johnny's Entertainment
Rating: PG15
Summary: No nonsense summary. So the prince continued to wait until the day his beautiful princess would wake up from his--*narrator got bombed* Ryo: Nothing to see here... read along... 8D
A/N: I was high. Introducing new character here... or not. 8DDDDD Seriously I'm high~ Or that Ryo had insisted me posting the chapters up fast.
Aaaaand we're back to the scheduled pace of chapter updates that are not as fast as lightning as these few chapters had been... XD.
-----------------------------------------
All six of them were quiet as they watched Ryo’s sleeping form on the bed from outside the glass room. If that was what you call sleeping. Several wires had been attached to Ryo’s body, his head heavily bandaged; his left arm as well. A tube had been inserted into Ryo’s half-open mouth to aid in his breathing. The whole sight was not something that you would feel relieved to witness.
Inside the room, Keiichiro sighed to himself before walking up towards Ryo. He ran his hand over Ryo’s pale face before exiting the room to face Shige and the others.
“I guess I’ll leave today in your hand. Watch over Ryo for me.”
“The others too...” Keii added, as he glanced towards Pi and the rest of the gang. “I appreciate that you guys cared for Ryo as well, but don’t push yourselves too much. Your parents might worry if you guys stayed here until too late.”
Keii walked towards Shige before patting his shoulders.
“I might be home late, so don’t bother waiting for me.”
“Where are you going?” Shige asked as Keii shrugged.
“I still have to settle mum’s case at the police station with Inagaki-san. So it might take a while.”
“Will you guys be all right?” Pi suddenly spoke as Tegoshi, Massu, Jin and Ohkura glanced up to him. Keii smiled weakly.
“I—we’ll manage. It’s not like we’re totally on our own now. There’s still Inagaki-san... and we still have to stay strong, for Ryo’s sake.” Keii nodded towards them as he walked out into another set of corridors, where Inagaki-san had been waiting for him...

It has been several weeks since then and Ryo’s condition had not changed much. He and the others had set up an agreement though. They could not all come visit Ryo everyday together, every time. But they could not just let Ryo be alone at any time. Keii still had to do his part-time work and take care of the house, and all of them had their school stuffs. So they had set up a plan so that on a different day, one of them would take the time to watch over Ryo at his hospital room. And today, it was Pi’s turn.
Pi shrugged as he stared at the bunch of flowers he had been holding on his hands. Ryo might not be able to appreciate it with his condition right now, but at least his room would not feel so cold.
Pi frowned as he saw a young man walked out of Ryo’s room. The man was not someone he knew or seen before, so it struck him curious as to who the man was.
He entered the room to see Ryo sleeping, still the same as the few days he had come visit. There was another unchanging thing inside the room as well. The dead flowers in the nearby flower vase had been changed again and as always, a single Carnation bloom adorned the vase. The others had noticed the same thing as well during their routine visits. They had occasionally brought flowers when coming to visit Ryo, changing the water daily and throwing away the dead blooms. Therefore, it had puzzled them when they noticed that the flowers had been watered and changed, as well as the ever present Carnation flower. They had asked each other about it, and neither had a clue about it. Pi’s thought went back towards the man earlier. Could that man be the one who did it? Why? And it had always been in secret, if he had not thought of coming early today he might have missed the guy.
Pi shook his head as he grabbed a stool to sit beside Ryo.
“Hello. It’s my turn again...” Pi spoke. The doctor had told them earlier; if possible... to talk to Ryo even if it seemed that he might not even be able to hear or understand what they were talking about. Sometimes, it could help. Ryo might be able to wake up again.
Then again, that was the reason they had took turns to watch Ryo. The seven of them had not lost their hopes for Ryo to be able to recover someday.
Pi chuckled.
“You know... today I’ve been thinking about you. There’s been some plans... the end of year is in several weeks from now. Some of the guys had thought to play at Shinjuku, you know... it’s like to see how we had improved in our playing all these times. When I heard of that I thought, if Ryo could recover... wouldn’t it be nice? You did play the guitar well... and your voice wasn’t so bad also—“
Pi glanced back towards Ryo before he started, almost falling off his chair. Ryo had opened his eyes! Surprised over the unexpected change, Pi hastily ran out to call for the doctors...

Shuuji did not know what hit him these few weeks.
As usual, he had gone to the hospital to see his doctor for the usual check-up. Nothing much had changed, he had wondered for a while now if his conditions would ever improve. It has been several years now…
But then one day he happened to take a different route to leave the hospital after seeing his doctor. It was then that he saw it, no… him. It must have been such an accident, when he saw the medical personnel wheeled a young lad away followed by a group of other young boys around similar ages; for that young man to have been injured so badly. Somehow… suddenly, he had felt concerned about the young man that he happened to see that day.
At least, that was what he had told Tsubasa when he had returned home. Tsubasa had laughed at him, to have suddenly taken an interest on someone he never knew. He had laughed at himself too.
Since then, the image of that young boy had never left his mind. So the next day, he had asked about it at the hospital. The young boy appeared to be a victim of an abuse for quite some time. But on that day of the incident, something had happened at the young man’s house and somehow, the young man’s stepmother had pushed him off the stairs. It was lucky that the ambulance had managed to arrive on time. The boy could have died if it had been any later.
Somehow… hearing that story had made Shuuji feel very sad for some reason. Poor kid, he had thought. At first, he had thought of just visiting the kid once… just so he could at least ease this unexplained desire to comfort the child. Not like the child would know, he was in coma… but Shuuji himself had been in an accident few years ago, so he really understood such feelings. That first time when he had sneaked into that boy’s hospital room, he suddenly had this unexplained feeling growing in his heart. The child had been hurt so badly, it had hurt his heart to look at him. Without thinking, he had gently touched the young boy’s cheeks as he sat beside the bed. The feel of the boy’s skin did not feel so strange to him; strangely, as he took hold of the child’s hand.
Shuuji had sneaked a glance at a medical board placed nearby as he saw the boy’s name.
“Ryo…”
He had glanced back towards the kid again as he smiled weakly. It was then and there he had decided that he would visit this child as frequently as he could until this child would become better.

“There you are. I thought I’d find you here…”
Shuuji grinned as he walked out of the hospital towards him.
“I see you’ve found some kind of a special person here, seeing you visited here almost every day. I never heard that you have to go visit your doctor every day… so who is it? Did you have a crush or something?”
Shuuji laughed at him. “There’s nothing like that… idiot. It’s just that there was someone that I had an interest with—not a crush, you! Come on… aunty must have sent you to find me, isn’t it?”
“Keii-san! Thank goodness you’ve arrived!”
Shuuji turned around to see a young man running towards the hospital entrance as another young man greeted him. If he had not mistaken… he had seen those two. Weren’t those two among those young men who had accompanied Ryo that day when the kid had been admitted to the hospital?
Imai Tsubasa stared at his friend, irritated. It was obvious that his friend had not heard his reply earlier or even anything that he had said just now. He slapped him as Shuuji looked at him almost amused.
“All right you idiot… we’re going home!”

They were at the beach, all four of them. They were having so much fun. He could see his mother smiling at him from the shore as his father came by much later, carrying his baby brother around as the little kid giggled happily. His mother was very pretty… and his father—well, he was his superhero…
His mother had called him back. He had turned around and waded through the seawater to reach them. Reaching the shore, he ran as fast as he could as his parents’ voice continued to call out his name. His mother opened her arms to catch him as he got closer to them…
Shuuji jerked himself awake as he almost fell off his bed. He sighed.
Ah, it was only a dream…
