I can't believe I cried writing this.

 

Chapter 6-

 

"Be careful on your way home... you'll face a terrible accident. But, in that accident you'll soon find out something. In any way, you'll eventually feel a bit happy." 'Is she psychic or something?' She's pretty weird, for a little girl. In a moment, a truck came to me and before I knew it, it hit me...

I fell. I feel numb… wait, if I can feel that I'm numb, then it's a contradiction? But then, who cares right now… I could feel pain… I'm feeling pain. It hurts, from the inside out. Blood slowly made its way out of my body. I could almost smell it. All that I could see is the truck that had hit me and the driver running to me. Bu then, it was all too late… my visions becoming blurry… until it was all dark and empty…

 

“Brother, wake up! It's an emergency!” Nagi woke up. “What happened?”

“It's Daisuke-san. He's in the hospital.” Nagi's eyes widened in shock. “Where is he now?” Sai raised a brow. “In the hospital. Let's go.” Quickly, he dressed up and headed to the hospital together with Sai. He ran up to the room and saw Daisuke, unconscious. `Oh MY God…' There were bandages almost everywhere on his body. Seems like he went through too much hell.

 

`Break me, Nagi. Kill me with your insults. Death by you is much more meaningful that death by truck. Judge me of what I am to you, and tear me apart by your judgment. I'll be happy to die because of you other than anything else. I don't want all of this pain. This is too much… just too much…'

“Daisuke-san, please wake up. Brother wants to see you.” Sai popped Daisuke's thoughts. Nagi entered the room. “Is he fine?” He asked. “As you can obviously see, he's not.” Sai pointed out.

`Will I ever get over you? Forget you? Will I be able to recover from the damage you caused my heart?'

“Daisuke, wake up. Please talk to me.”

`I guess not.'

“Daisuke-san, please wake up and talk to me…” His eyes pleading to the lying body. Sai left the room to give them a little room. Daisuke opened his eyes. “Na-Nagi…”

“Are you alright? Tell me you're ok…” Nagi sat down beside him. “I'm fine. I just have a lot of broken bones and some internal hemorrhage, and I'm fine.”

“That doesn't sound like fine to me. What happened?” He asked with concern.

`Don't tell him the truth' Daisuke heard a female voice inside his head. `What? Is that Sai girl so damn mysterious?'

 

(Daisuke's POV)

 

“What happened to you?” He asked as he neared me. I frowned at him in answer.

“What do you mean by that?” I asked innocently, even though I knew what it was that he was pointing out.

“Your arm.” He said. I shrugged.

“Just a scratch.” I replied, avoiding his eyes. He raised an eyebrow at me.

“Oh…I didn't know that it had to be bandaged so heavily.” He said, his tone not hiding his mock amusement. I stuck out my tongue at him.

“I got this from my part time job at the nursery. The kids wanted me to climb the slide. I did. They wanted me to slide down. I prepared myself. Unfortunately, one of the little tykes got a sudden urge to go along with me. So when I was just about to sit down, here he comes to my side. Next thing I knew, I was lying on my face on the ground.” There, I guess you're satisfied now. `It's a lame excuse, why would you be looking for a part-time job when you're filthy rich? Anyway, I think my bro's buying it.'

“Oh, okay.” He smirked. My brows furrowed. `He bought it. Silly bro.'

“What now?” I asked, irritated. Darn him.

“Well, if you happen to glance at your… uh… pants, you'll see that your fly is open.” He finished, a stupid grin plastered on his face. My jaw dropped.

“You're kidding me, right?” I said, my voice shaking with embarrassment and with irritation at his irksome grin. He shook his head.

“Nope. Check it out yourself.”

Defeated, I took a quick glance at my front. Darn him!

“See? I was right.” His smile broadened. I glared at him.

“Here, let me help you. I assume you won't be able to fix that-- err—open secret of yours.”

I scowled at him. But what could I do? There was no one around and thank God for that. But why did it have to be him? I held my head high, ignoring the screaming protests sounding within me. He scanned my face. Seeing that I wasn't about to complain, he approached me with slow steps, his eyes locked with mine. I held my breath when he finally reached me.

 

“This would be quick, don't worry.” He assured me. I just stared hard at his face. Taking a deep breath, he placed his left hand on my waistband and with his right, pulled up the zipper. I shuddered inwardly as his hand left me. Where did that come from? We stood there face to face.

 

`Don't blush… It'll be questioned…' Sai replied in my head. How does she do that? “There.” He replied. “So… umm… thanks for the visit?”

“You're welcome.” He looked at Sai, and then to me. “I'll be back in a sec.”

 

(Nagi's POV)

 

God, he's really awful. I almost feel sorry for him. Anyway, after leaving him, I went to `lil sis. “Hey, uhh…” She interrupted, “I know. You can stay here and watch over him if you like. I'll be at home.” She walked out slowly, then turned around. “Remember not to go into a fight with him. It'll make his condition worse.”

“You don't have to remind me that. I know. I'm trying to be nice here.” “Don't try. BE nice. Be nice to him for a change, will ya?” She then walked away. God, she's so bossy. I went back to Dai's room and saw him looking at nowhere. “Where're you looking at?” I looked to where he's looking. “Nothing.”

 

 

(Author's POV)

Nagi went back to his seat. The two of them looked at each other's ring. “It looks beautiful.” Daisuke blurted out. “Yeah, I guessed so. It does look good on us.”

“Well, of course. It looks good when you guys wear it together. You look so cute…” Sai re-entered the room. “What are you doing here? I thought you went home?” Nagi asked.

“I forgot something. So, can I talk with Dai-chan for a while, Oni-chan?” She raised a brow at her brother, signaling him to leave immediately. “Oh, ok…” Without any more arguments, Nagi left the room. Sai sat down beside Daisuke.

“So, how are you feeling?” She looked at him with curiosity. “You could guess.”

“I do have a wild guess,” She giggled, “but, I want to hear it from you.” Her tone became serious and concerned.

“Well, I liked it.” “thought so…” Sai interrupted as soon as Daisuke finished his sentence. He continued. “He seems… nice today.” He looked away, and displayed a slight tint of pink. “You have to thank me for that.” She giggled more. “I asked him to do it.”

“So, he would do it if asked?”

“Immature, right? Well, we'll leave him for a while. He'll figure it out on his own. Anyway, what would you do now?”

 

(Sai's POV)

 

I know how Daisuke feels. He loves my brother so much. He's willing to put aside his own needs for my brother's. Such person is hard to find. I want him to be my brother's lover. He needs someone like him, someone who would be willing to give everything for his happiness. My brother is upright selfish, and a total sloth, but I love my brother more than anything else in the whole wide world, and I know Daisuke feels the same, except he's not my brother's brother. My brother's his love interest. If he would give brother happiness beyond words, then I'm in no position to decline. Hell, if he would break my brother's heart, I'll break his bones.

“How much do you love my brother?” Obviously, I know the answer, but I let myself to ask it.

“I love him with all my heart, with all my soul, with my everything.” He replied, showing a slight smirk. “Not enough. I can tell. You love him more than anything.”

“I guess that sums it up.”

“Well, I can read you like an open book, you know.” I smiled at him. “Anyway, would you do me a favor?”

“If it won't hurt, ok.” This is my chance… He must accept it.

“Don't give up on my brother. Even if he breaks you, don't fret. Do not leave him. Make him yours. Make him change for the better. I know only you can do it.” I looked at him with narrowing eyes. “I don't want to hurt him. It hasn't been my intention. I love your brother, and you know that. You also know that I won't do anything that will hurt him. I will give him my all, making him everything that I have. I'll never hurt him, break him, or leave him.”

“Paired rings give two individuals good luck. A paired ring on the right ring finger means friendship, the lone ring on the middle finger means single, and the paired ring placed on the left ring fingers depicts the two individuals as couples.” That was how the saying goes. Well, at least Daisuke knows that, but my brother doesn't. I just hope he realizes it sooner.

 

(Author's POV)

 

Sai bid Daisuke farewell and left the room. Nagi re-entered the room and sat to where Sai sat. “Won't you go home?” Daisuke asked in a weak tone. “No. I'm staying here.” `What for, Nagi. What could you possibly do for me except to love me back?'

“Why?”

“Because I want to stay here.” He looked down to the floor, hiding his face from Daisuke's sapphire eyes. Daisuke looked at him, trying to get some eye contact. “And I want to apologize to you.”

“For what?”

“For making your life miserable. I caused you so much pain. I'm sorry….” He still hid his face from Daisuke, but Daisuke managed to cup his cheeks and lift it up a bit, just enough to see his face. “I don't blame you for making my life miserable. It's miserable even before I met you. You're not causing me any pain, at most, I think. And if you have something to apologize, I have forgotten all of it.” Instantly, Nagi pulled Daisuke closer, hugging him tightly. His arms around Daisuke's neck, and his head deep into Daisuke's shoulders. “Stay with me. Don't leave me.” Daisuke wrapped his hands around Nagi, as far as he could. “I won't leave you, as long as you want me to stay with you. That, I promise you.”

 

(Nagi's POV)

 

I don't know what I want anymore. I just don't. But, I don't want him to leave me. I want his presence. Maybe Sai's right. Maybe it's love. If it's not love, then why do I feel like I need him badly? I feel like my world would be empty without him. I want him to be here with me. I like his presence. I like it when I see him. I like it when I feel close. I don't want to hurt him, but I still am hurting him. It hurts. It hurts when I hurt him unintentionally. I don't want to see him in pain.

I don't know what I want anymore… I don't… I need him. I know what I need. I need him badly… I need him to complete my empty world. I need him…

 

Author's Notes:

Phew, too much drama. At least I'm able to bring out Nagi's sensitive side. And, I thank my friend, Dianne, for giving me a lot of ideas for this part. I really appreciate it.
