Tenn were smiling at Riku but his inside were worry about how it end up on the past.He left Riku because of his sake.
"Tenn-nii? you spacing again? is that something wrong?"Riku ask.
"No,let's do what you say."said Tenn.
Riku and Tenn arrange the things on that small stage in that dressing room.In the same time,both of them are having fun together and play fool around together.Tenn really don't want to get it happen like before.
After done arrange things,Tenn were busy swipe the floor and dust meanwhile Riku were waiting outside to find someone that can watch their own performance without Tenn know.
Riku walk by himself and see around the theater.He meet so many people with random costume.Riku were so amazed how pretty they're and accidentally bumping into someone.
"Sorry! i am so sorry!!"said Riku while bowing down repeatedly.

"Noah-nii!! nice to meet you!"said Riku and give him a politely bow toward Noah.
"You so cute Riku-kun,so where is your brother? did you come alone?"Noah ask.
"Ahh he is sweeping the room,i can't stay inside because my parent said it was dangerous for me.So i stay outside the room.So while waiting,me and Tenn-nii want to do the performance together but we need someone to watch us!"said Riku.
"So you need someone to watch you guys,then can i help you?since i'm not busy because i already done my performance."said Noah.Riku's eyes were sparkling as he was happy to found someone.
Meanwhile Tenn,after done clean the floor and dust,Tenn call Riku from inside to let Riku enter the room but there's no respond.Tenn were panic for while and look the outside.Riku wasn't there and he was looking for Riku.
"Tenn-nii!! i bring Noah-nii!!"shout Riku.Tenn almost got panic attack when Riku wasn't there.His face were angry and go toward Riku.
"Nanase Riku!! i told you don't go anywhere from my sight!! you almost make me got heart attack you know!!"said Tenn with angry.Riku wasn't mean to make Tenn like that so he look down.
"Tenn-kun right?it's not Riku-kun's fault.He safe here with me okay? don't mad at Riku-kun."said Noah.Tenn didn't realize that he was scolding Riku.
Riku just being silent and didn't dare to say anything.

Still,Riku didn't say anything
"that's right,Riku never fight back on me.I am so stupid yell at him like that."said Tenn's mind.
"..it my fault..sorry.."said Riku and,"..i will go to toilet first.."
Noah just smiling watching at them.Since they still kid,it's just a normal things happen around their age.Tenn were dissappointed at himself and knees down.He doesn't want this happen but he fail as his brother again.
"Tenn-kun,it's not your fault or Riku-kun fault,you do the right thing as you role.I know your mind were thinking that you are fail as Riku-kun brother right?"said Noah making Tenn look at him."It's not your fault and you are not fail as his brother.You grew more mature than him and you should be proud at yourself too for got good kid like Riku-kun.He so polite and good kid.I believe both if you two will succed in the future.As long as you two stay together.You know what i mean right?"said Noah while pat Tenn's hair.
Tenn nodded and get prepare for something making Noah curious.
After a few minute,Riku come back and looking for Tenn.Only Noah were there.
"Noah-nii? where Tenn-nii??.."Riku ask.Noah just smiling and the light were turn off.Riku startle and saw Tenn was standing at the small stage there.Tenn start to sing a song from future and dance too.He try to entertain Riku and Noah.Riku were amazed with Tenn and his eyes filled with with shining.He saw Tenn was shining like a star on the stage.He wish he can do that like Tenn did but he knew he is weak and can't do like Tenn.
"Thats really good show Tenn-kun.You look like you got train by someone."said Noah.
"No..it's my ow- i mean it's my random step and my own song that i want to do on the future."said Tenn.
"future?...so Tenn-nii already though about Tenn-nii's future...so..it's only me right...Tenn-nii already had one while i don't...."
Noah were interested with Tenn's movement and Tenn's voice too.It more than professional.Suddenly the moment were bothered by Riku's sudden attack.He was coughing and get Noah and Tenn's attention.Both of them look at Riku and quickly get Riku.
"Riku,calm down first.Take a deep breathe and i am here!!"said Tenn while holding Riku's hand.Noah were panic too.

"Riku wouldn't like go to hospital mom,can you at least call his doctor just check on Riku.I believe i give my whole treatment to Riku very well."Said Tenn with mature making Nishi,Noah and his mother were shock with Tenn's act.
Miyou give a signal to her husband to take Tenn first.But in the same time,she follow Tenn's advice about calling Riku's doctor.
"Tenn,come here,we need to talk.."said Nishi.Noah got misunderstood thought that Nishi would mad at Tenn.
"Nanase-san,if you gonna blame Tenn-kun,you should as me first, because i saw everything happen."said Noah with serious.Nishi were confuse and Tenn were looking at Noah.
"What do you mean?"Nishi ask.
"I know you will say anything to Tenn-kun because he is a brother,but it's not Tenn-kun's fault,you should be proud at him because he did well to take care of Riku-kun.He's kinda mature at his early age."said Noah.
Nishi were laughing meanwhile Tenn were shock with Noah's compliment.
"I never blame my own son for what happen to his younger brother.I just wanna ask him what happen and made sure he's okay to since he has some issues when it's come to Riku's attack.I won't blame anyone.About praising my son,Tenn,thank you very much.You were right,i thought I'm only the one notice that things but Tenn are good brother for Riku"said Nishi.
Noah were feel embarrassed and almost cover his face.Tenn were chuckle too.
"I am very sorry for misunderstood...i just remain it like my sister did too.."said Noah while bowing.

Tenn immediately answer the question,"Nanase Riku always been healthy! He is good boy and gifted by god! My younger brother are not sick and he will have good future!! We will reach it together."said Tenn.
Miyou,Nishi and Noah were freeze for second and give Tenn a warm head pat.In the same time,Riku heard their conversation and smiling at himself without anyone notice.He glad to heard that from Tenn.Riku's love for Tenn are start to grow more.

"The treatment that Riku-kun get from Tenn-kun really looks like he have experience.Riku-kun's condition got better after got attack.He don't need to go hospital.I proud at Tenn-kun.If anything happens just brought him immediately to the emergency room."said Doctor alone with their parent only.Tenn staying with Riku at the infirmary room or could be sleep right now.
"I never teach anything to Tenn about Riku's treatment..."said Miyou.
"That's proving,Tenn-kun already mature about taking care of Riku-kun.Sometime,for this case,you should give Tenn-kun attention too.Nanase-san should balance it with well."said Noah.
Miyou and Nishi were looking at each other.Maybe part of it,they realize that they been giving a lot of attention toward Riku because he sick meanwhile Tenn are perfect already.
"...I guess, because of Tenn using Riku's original heart...could it be connected with Riku.. that's why Tenn so mature.."said Miyou.
(If you guys read about how Tenn can use Riku's heart,you can read back at my first book Please Be Honest.)
"Honey,you shouldn't have mention that past again...we don't want take a risk of Riku heard about this since his condition can't be depresss."said Nishi.
"..i know but everytime I saw Riku were in pain,i always blame myself for it.I always thought, it's my fault,keep asking my self why I can't be good mother to Riku when the day he was born.."said Miyou.
"Mom,you don't have to blame anything to yourself.Both of you,mom and dad still give us love and never give up on Riku right?"said Tenn who suddenly appear without their notice Tenn heard everything.
Miyou and Nishi were shock and panic when Tenn were they.
"..y-you hear-.."
"Yes,i heard everything,..but it's not anyone's fault.After knowing that I'm using Riku's heart,i should take care of Riku for the rest of my life to payback everything.He give me a good life,good health and good love from mom dad and Riku too.So please let me be a proper brother for Riku..i know it's still not enough.I should be the one who taking all the pain that Riku feel now"said Tenn.
Miyou and Nishi were touched with Tenn's word and immediately hug Tenn.
"I am sorry Tenn, I'm the one who make Riku's life in harder...i hope Riku can blame me everything... I don't care if he mad at me or leaving me.. because i deserve it."said Miyou while crying.
"Mom i told you, it's not everyone fault...you should be grateful that Riku never blame anyone..and he's never blame me or feel jealous about me.He keep acting that he was Strong even i saw he's not.His inside,his deep heart already hurt after seeing me can do everything while he can't do anything he want..I am happy to get a younger brother like him.I am bad brother after all.."said Tenn while crying.Miyou crying again and hug Tenn.
All of them at infront of the door,Riku was heard everything again.He already standing behind the door and crying so hard after heard everything.

__________________________
Before leaving the hospital,Tenn make sure Riku wear a mask."Riku,make sure to hold my hand and never let it go okay! Just shout at me or mom and dad if you tired,make sure to always wear this mask okay."said Tenn.
"Alright Tenn-nii!"said Riku.
"Good,then your things already pack everything?"Tenn ask.

"Make sure to check it twice"said Tenn again.Riku nodded and look around his table again.

So Nishi just come and help bringing Riku's things.They done with discharge things and ready to go shopping.Riku feel that he was the happiest person in the world because he still can see his brother and parent together with him.Riku never let go from Tenn's hand.He was very happy to have time together with Tenn.After that,Nishi took them have dinner at the small cafe.That family can't stop smiling again and again because they were happy to see Riku and Tenn are this happy.
"I can't wait for the school soon!!!"said Riku with excited.
"Are you ready to get some new friend?"Miyou ask.Tenn look at Riku.
"I don't know.. because as long i have Tenn-nii and Riri-chan,i will be fine without any friends!.."said Riku.
"But at least make some new friend okay? That's will be fine"said Miyou.
"Riku,mom was right,we should make some friend at school"said Tenn.
"I know, I will try my best!"said Riku.
"In the past,you.. didn't have any friends because your attendance at school just..a few days in years.They afraid to get near with you and always saying if you still alive or no..they keep asking me why you didn't come to school.You was at the hospital... fighting your own life.. forcing you self to be fine."
"That's good,then let's celebrate for both of you two for getting to kindergarten!"said Nishi.
All of them was happy to have time together.Miyou and Nishi didn't have any regrets to close the company for taking time together with their son.
_______________________
"Riku, I'm done,your turn!"said Tenn while wipe his hair.He looking around and didn't see Riku."Rik-"
"Tenn-nii!!!!"Riku shout who just come out from the basket.
"Riku! Stop doing that,you almost got me heart attack."said Tenn.
"Sorry... I didn't mean that...i just want to make you smile.."said Riku while looking upset.
"Oh Riku.. I'm not mad or angry at you,i just got shock when you are not around"said Tenn and hug Riku.
"...but i almost make you sick.."said Riku.
"It's not sick things Riku, it's just suprise for me..please don't do that again okay?.."said Tenn while caress Riku's hair."nothing..can make me angry when it's come to you.You already apologize right?then it's fine"said Tenn again.
"...okay Tenn-nii.. anyway,i wanna try something.. new to improve myself,will you hear me out?"said Riku while holding Tenn's hand.Tenn just give Riku a smile.
"Sure,just go on,"said Tenn.
"Well,i wanna try not to depend on my inhaler since i heard it's pretty expensive when it empty..i don't want put anyone in my burden.."said Riku.
Tenn were shock with that idea and thinking about it.Riku never been like this before.Maybe he should listen to Riku's reason.
"Why you don't want to depend on it? You know your condition need it when it's attack you.It's dangerous.Your health is our first priority."said Tenn.
"It's not like that,when i at my medical checkup,i meet a big sister.Her name was Miyazaki Hana-neesan,she has same illness with me but she said I'm the worst one because i was born with weak body and weak physical.. she's said,she from poor family that can't effort her medical bill,so she already live without inhaler or something support because it will cost a lot to her family since her family can't pay that high..so i ask her how she can do that.. she's said~~~~"
FLASHBACK HOSPITAL
"Then how to do it without inhaler? Because I don't want depend on my inhaler too! I don't want,mom dad and Tenn-nii feel burden to send me in out hospital..no matter how many they said my health is their first priority,.. it's still bother me a lot."Riku ask.
"It's easy honestly,just think positive and find your own happiness.You just have to keep happy in your life even it is hard for you because soon you will meet something that would change your mind.Like me,i use my niisama together with me.When i almost die from my attack,he would come and try to stay with mr until my attack gone.That's the things can make me stay who i am right now..even it's difficult for me..i still believe he would stay with me forever.About the thought of saying will he left?.. ofcourse we will think that,but just push that aside and keep moving on.."
___________________
"..but Hana-neesan said,her big brother already gone because of sudden illness.But she still believe,her big brother always with him.So i want to try that method!! I wanna keep smiling and spread the love to mom,dad and Tenn-nii as well!! I want to believe that all of you guys always be with me and accept me with who am i..until i grow old."said Riku.
Riku never tell Tenn about this at the past,Riku never be honest with his thoughts when he was with Tenn because Riku's life fully being trapped by hospitalized alot.Tenn always hurt Riku before.But all he got after rewind the time was feeling guilty for everything he did to Riku before.
"..then you wanna use that?"Tenn ask.
"Yes!! I wanna try that!"said Riku with smile.Tenn can't refuse that because Riku only the one he had.
"Then,just in case, keep your inhaler with you.Okay?"said Tenn.It's for Riku's safety too.Riku nodded and thank Tenn for letting him do it.
"Thank you Tenn-nii!!"said Riku.
"Anything for you Riku, anyway,quick go take shower,then sleep early today okay?"said Tenn.Riku nodded and happily go to the bathroom.
