"So Daiken, are you feeling like proud captain?" Shiro asks.
'Love. It's a question I have been asking my self for years. What is love?'
"To be honest Shiro I feel like I'm going to leave my family." Daiken responds with a pout.
'Is love the butterflies in one's stomach and when your face heats up like crazy to the point where you find it difficult to breath or is love the feeling of wanting to protect something your afraid to lose.'
"Aww don't worry Daiken-San we can meet them during our breaks and holidays besides we have like a month before we graduate. I'm I right Aoi-San?" He replys with a question. "Huh? Yea sure." He says fidgeting while looking at his phone. "Just tell me when you guys are going to meet them" Aoi replied without making eye contact.
'As I keep searching for answers I always end up at a dead end with no where to turn.'
"Aoi-San what's wrong?" Just as Daiken asked Aoi's phone rang. Without wasting even a mili-second he picked it up. "Yes? Hello this is Aoi Arashi." He said said immediately.
'My reason for this search is that I have never BEEN loved nor been IN love with anyone.'
"Ahhh, Aoi-San this is 'X' hospital." the other end continued "Is your mother." Without giving the other person a chance to finish Aoi says "Yes what about my mother?" The other end chuckled before continuing "Aoi-San your mother woke up!!"
Aoi drops on to the floor before he starts crying and repeatedly says "Thank you to his phone." Daiken and Shiro stood there in shock before Shiro embraces Aoi "Aoi-San are you OK? What did he say? What happened? Is your mother hurt?" Daiken and Shiro bombard him with questions. "M-my *sob* My mum *sob* she- she woke up *sob" He replies between sobs. "She fainted few days ago and woke up today."
"Want us to come with you to the hospital?" Shiro asks sweetly. "Ye-Yes please." Aoi continues "That would be nice. Thank you guys."
'I have never experienced any sort of love directed towards me. Motherly love, family love nor have I ever had a lover. That's one of the reasons that I'm searching for these answers. I trying to find the reasons to why people would give up everything for it. To me it doesn't seem worth the price.'
They quickly ran to 'X' hospital and as Aoi went into the ward room to where his mother was he literally jumped on to her and cried his eyes out. "Arashi-Kun, sweetheart why are you crying I didn't die did I?" Mrs Aoi says while patting his back . "It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs.Aoi I think we should give the two you some privacy." Daiken says before leaving the ward. "Thank you dear." She respond to Daiken and Shiro who give her a little bow before leaving the room.
As Daiken ans Shiro waited outside, 10 minutes later the door opens reveling a red, puffy eyed and messy haired Aoi. "I'm sorry for making you guys waiting for so long. But I think I'll stay the night here." He says. "Are you sure? Do you want us go bring you some clothes?" Daiken says to him. "No thanks. I thought of going home to change before school anyways. Thank you for help." He replies with a bow. Daiken and Shiro return the bow. "Guess we'll leave then Daiken." Shiro says before popping into the room to say goodbye to Mrs. Aoi.
'I find people who do anything for love very stupid because they neglect themselves for it.'
"Goodbye Mrs. Aoi we are leaving." Shiro says. "Thank you for visiting me." She replies. "Well then Aoi we'll see you at school on Monday, 'Kay?" Daiken says before leaving the hospital with Shiro.
'As you guys have noticed I kinda hate no despise love. Love ruined a lot of things for me. But although I may despise it I still want to find the answers.'
"Man that was sweet wasn't it?" Shiro asks as we walked towards his house exiting 'X' hospital. "hm.....I guess?" Daiken says with a question. Few blocks away from Shiro's house he says "This is my stop. I-I have a few errands to run before going home." "Are ya sure?" Daiken questions. "yeah, see you at school on Monday, 'Kay." He replies. "OK take care." Daiken says while he saw Shiro walk away.
'It is because of love my life became a mess. I don't want to experience it I just want to find answers to why people throw every thing for it. I mean its all fake and temporary isn't it?'
