Chapter 4
The Kazuya in the box started to see a shape of a door, but it was still far away from where he sat. It was surrounded with a really faint light and he could see the outlines very blurry, still unable to stand or walk towards it.
Doctors and nurses passed by, many people visited him, which was a little exhausting. His parents, friends, and even far away relatives he didn’t even know well. Funny ones, noisy ones, but he just waited for the evening. He could smell the comforting scent of the rose lingering in the air and it always calmed him. It made him remember his special person.
Kazuya waited for the day so much he can actually see the gift. And he will give Jin a gift too. Himself and his love.
His parents wondered who brought the rose and asked him, and at the first time, not being able to respond saved Kazuya from much embarrassement.
„Dear, our Kazu-chan has an admirer, but isn’t it weird to get a rose from a girl?” His mother asked and Kazuya could feel the nervousneness. What will the conclusion of it be? He couldn’t have a word in it and he was sure their parents won’t come up with the truth. They knew Jin, of course. Jin spent much time in their house and they all even went out swimming together sometimes, but it was long ago. Their parents didn’t really see Jin for years now, he wasn’t a frequent guest in the Kamenashi household anymore. But now, Kazuya knew what the reason of this was. But his parent didn’t and Kazuya doubted they will figure it out.
„It is not unusual to bring a flower to a sick person, and look at that crane. I don’t think a boy would make one like this. And the color, it looks girly.”
Kazuya felt amused and if he could, he would have giggled. ~Bakanishi Jin… is girly? Ah, I will tease Jin if I wake up, for sure.~
„Yes, indeed.” His mother agreed and they heared the door open and four KAT-TUN members stepped into the room.
The parents looked at the direction of the door and bowed. The boys returned the bow respectfully.
„Kame-chan~ how are you today?” Koki asked and stepped next to the bed. That was the time he noticed the rose. Hmmm, how nice parents bringing him this, and that crane, oh, so cute. Koki thought and bended down to whisper into Kazuya’s ear „If you wake up, I will take you to a really good bar, so let it motivate you.”
~Koki, you are too close~ Kazuya whined in his thoughts, thinking how different it felt when Jin was this close. At that time, his whole body filled with warmth… now, it didn’t.
The singers told the parents about how KAT-TUN keeps on going and tried to be positive about Kazuya’s condition.
„What do the doctors say?” Ueda asked carefully. Kazuya’s mom looked down letting his father answer.
„His state is still not stable. Without the machines keeping him alive he would… die. But the doctors say that they did all they could, the rest is only up to Kazuya. Maybe it will last only just few more days still he wakes up, or… the rest of his life.” They all looked down at Kame, some of them with sad, some of them with hopeful eyes.
„It depends how much he wants to return to us.” His mother whispered sadly.
~It depends on me?! Well, hell! Sure it’s not! If it depends on me I should have returned long ago. Mom! Dad! Guys! Please, just understand this…. I don’t know what is really missing for me to go back, but I will, and I want to!! Why is everyone so silent?~
„Oh… I don’t see Akanishi anywhere…” his mother just noticed and looked at Kazuya, who’s heart raced like every time he heard Jin’s name.
„Yeah… Akanishi behaves weirdly… and he never came to visit Kame-chan either. He just doesn’t want to talk about him. I think it is not fair.” Junno wondered. They didn’t know what caused the accident, they were unaware of the fact that Kazuya saved Jin’s life and Kame was thankful to that fact. They would blame Jin without reason for sure if they knew.
~ Oh, if you all knew… he spends more time with me than any of you here. ~ Kazuya missed Jin dearly and hearing the others talk about him made him miss Jin even more.
„They were such good friends…” His mother stated, feeling sorrow that his child lost such a precious friend. She knew how Jin always was there for her son and she couln't understand what happened, why they became so distant, but Kazuya refuses to talk about it all the time he was asked.
~We can never be that same friends again mother, but we can be… more. We WILL be more!~ He began to wonder how will he tell it to his parents when he awakes.
The gang and parents talked but Kazuya didn’t hear them, his mind was far in dreamland where he was together with his love, ah when can he do the same in real?
He noticed it was suddenly so silent in the room and took him a moment to realize it’s because everyone was gone. He was too deep in his thoughts to hear when they left or what other things they said. He couldn’t help it, mentioning Jin’s name was enough to make him fly into the sky with excitement and happiness. In this closed world, this was all he had… dreams. And hopes. If it really is depending on him when he wakes up, he will soon, ne? Ne nee??
The evening came and the long awaited person stepped into the room gracefully.
„Tadaima, Kazu-chan!” he greeted, with a warm tone of voice, using the word Japanese always use, but only when they arrive into their home. Yes… this small room became Kazuya’s and his home.
~Okaeri Jinjin.~ Kazuya answered in his mind with the word, the same category as what Jin said.
Jin showed the things again he brought with him to the sleeping boy. The same things they brought yesterday. Red rose and a crane. He put the rose into the vase next to the other one and held the crane out to Kazuya in his palms.
„This time…” Kame heared the voice he loved so much say „The crane is made out of gold paper, because you are my treasure.” Jin smiled and put it next to the other.
„Wake up soon, ’casue this is a quite small table, not many cranes can be put onto it.” He chuckled and turned to Kame.
„Naa Kazuya… I believe you can hear me…and that’s why…I didn’t only brought these presents for you this time. I brought something else. Something that shows all my feelings, something that I won’t ever do to someone other. A present… Only to you.”
The Kazuya in the box looked up to the faint outline of door and it seemed sharper than hours ago.
~Jin… the fact that you are here with me is enough present for me. ~ He wanted to say this out loud so badly. He was excited of what the other will do as he heard Jin move. Jin sounded so serious today, so mature he had never been before. But maybe he sees it like this only becasuse his organs were more sophisticated? He wondered what Jin was up to.
The next words made his heart fill with happiness.
„I wrote a song for you. I want you to really know how much I care for you. And I am singing it to you because I have faith, I believe you can hear me. Kazuya… listen… no matter how much time pass I will always care for you and no matter how long you will be like this, I will always love you. And I am serious. I will feel this way even if you don’t.”
Yes, Jin felt Kazuya is his destined one. Even if he wakes up and after Jin’s confess he will go away… even if it happens, Jin will always be in love with him.
„ I gave the title „Care” for it. So, now, Care from me, with all my love.”
The taller man reached out next to him and grabed his guitar which he also carried with himself. He put it on his lap and smiled at Kazuya, loving feelings filled his eyes as he started to sing softly and full of emotions, tears watered his eyes.

(„Between conspiracy and lies
carrying this unexperienced love
In the days I was becoming sick of
being chased by time
I felt a little freedom
After a number of years have passed
This will become only a memory so
Those partly forgotten memories and the things that are now
I tried to put them together
Because I'm carrying too many precious things
Its become difficult to walk today
At all times we, and surely everyone
Are dragging with us many sadness and weakness
Even if we begin to fall
In the strength to take a step forward
For every tear cried, same amount of smile awaits.
In the passing days
I started to loose sight of something
Yes, in that way, I wish I never separate our joined hands.
For instance even if you become hurt
Everyone's love will change colour many times
And the day you become tired and lean on me
How ever you are I'll still hug you tightly
At all times we, and surely everyone
Are dragging with us many sadness and weakness
Even if we begin to fall
In the strength to take a step forward
For every tear cried, same amount of smile awaits.
Believe in yourself!”)
Jin’s voice melted Kazuya’s heart and he cried inside a little. This time, not tears of sadness. They were tears of happiness.
The voice of the man he loved so much sounded with so much emotions, so much feelings… Jin’s smooth voice filled the air, accomplished with the music of guitar was the most wonderful music to Kazuya’s ears. And he felt proud it is his… His song, sang by Akanishi Jin and written for him. He never wanted other one to hear that voice like he did. Jin was his, he won’t give him away. Sweet possession… never ending one.
Jin finished the song too early in Kazuya’s opinion and he could almost feel the boy wipe a tear drop away.
„Yes Kazuya-chan… believe in yourself! I believe in you!”
The Kazuya in the box looked at the direction of the door and he could clearly see it now. The problem was, he still couldn’t walk. He tried everything, clenched his fists and slowly he tried to raise on his feet. He closed his eyes and recalled Jin’s song over and over again, as his weak voice began to sing ~kitto…so..ko ni… wa… naita..bun..no…..egao ga…matteru…~ He prayed for singing this out loud, but he still was unable to. However he was so glad, he was a step forward now in the progress of healing… he could stand up. Even if he couldn’t take steps, he couldn’t go forward, he could stand! ~Wait Jin, wait, soon I will start moving… towards that door, towards you.~
Jin put his guitar down and took Kazuya’s hand like every time he visited him.
„Did you like it? I hope so.” He asked sweetly, hint of sadness in his voice.
~I loved it Jin! Thank you so much!~
Kazuya waited for Jin to say more words, something, anything, but the other was silent, just squeezing his hand and praying.
~Ganbatte Kazuya! Ganbatte! Just a little more effort! Speak! You can do it, you can!~ he urged himself, but he remained silent, „sleeping” in the bed…motionless. When he really began to wonder what Jin was doing, he felt he is blushing from surprise.
Jin leaned close to the other, his warm breath tickled Kazuya’s skin and…lips. Yes, Jin’s lips were just millimeters away from his. It was not just a dream or a fantasy, it was real.
„Ka...zuya…” Jin whispered, lowering his head, but he stopped just before he could touch his lips, as guilt overtook him. What was he doing, taking advantage of Kazuya like this and steal a kiss? He didn't know how Kazuya felt. He can pretend he is Kazuya’s lover, but he can’t actually do things.
„Oh my…” Jin realized what he was doing and instead of kissing Kazuya’s lips, he moved to his face and kissed his cheek instead, before raising up.
„I… I am sorry, I promise I … won’t do that. I…uhhh…” Jin babbled and the serious athmosphere which filled the room moments ago disappeared completely.
„I still don’t know how you feel and I … shouldn’t do this.”
~ You don’t know how I feel?? What do you think why did I almost sacrifice my life for you? What do you think why I saved your life in the cost of my own?! Because of kindness? Or out of joke or what?? Even… you can’t be that baka. Jin… you can do whatever you want to me. I am yours.~ he felt desperate and the Kazuya in the box tensed all his muscles to be able to take a step forward.
At that time he heard Jin sigh. „Why does visiting time always end so soon?”
~No Jin, no! Don’t you dare to go away! Not now, wait!!~
„See you tomorrow Kazu. I will miss you.” He heard Jin say. The boy started to walk into the direction of the door.
~No…! Jin.. JIIIIIIN!!!!!~ he screamed in his mind and Jin stopped immediately, looking back at Kazuya in disbelief. He heard Kazuya scream his name. It was just a feeling rather than hearing it, a feeling in his heart. But as he obseved Kazuya, he saw nothing changed. The boy was lying there as moments ago, since he was brought here, next to those beeping machines that kept him alive. Without them, he would die, Jin knew it and it made his heart hurt almost physically. There was no way Kazuya would call his name, he must have imagined it, because he wanted to hear his voice so much.
~Jin?~ Kazuya asked hopefully, but he had to get dissappointed again, Jin just whispered the same words as always before he left, but this time he added something more „Next time I come in… you will sing for me.” He said smiling.
Yes…. there was no way Jin could hear him… Kazuya wondered for a fleeting second if their bond will ever be strong enough for Jin to hear him properly.
After Jin left, the Kazuya in the box fell to his knees again, looking at the dark floor. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day. He will do everything to sing for Jin.
