His alarm clock went wild, waking him up from his beautiful dream. He hurriedly put his hands around the clock in an attempt to muffle down its noise. The irritating sound of the clock ended and he smiled, knowing that his surrounding is quiet again. But that smile changed to a frown when his phone started ringing and he knows that, that is the only warning he needs for him to get up. He lazily sits up and ruffled his hair, pouting. Stretching out his hands and lying down on his bed again, he remembers that today is the day. Just thinking about his lover's pretty smiling face, made him blush and he extended his hand to took out his phone, that is still ringing but not so loud because he had shoved it under a pillow when it rang.
11th day of November. He smiled when he saw the reminder on the screen of his phone. Today is a very special day for Masuda. It is, after all, his Tegoshi's birthday. And today will be the day that they will be coming back to Tokyo with his teammate and friend Kato, after a Soccer Tournament that was held in Osaka. For four days they didn't contact each other, because Tegoshi and the team was so busy practicing and afterwards because of the game, but the truth is, it is because of their coach,who banned and took their cellphones away secretly when the team was busy practicing. Masuda learned about the banning afterwards when he got worried because Tegoshi hasn't been answering his calls for the nth time and fortunately, one of his calls was answered but by an angry Nishikido, the team captain of the soccer club, telling him to back off and just wait till they come back. When he told Koyama about that, it turns out he said the same to him. They know Nishikido and they are friends, but really, the guy is just so serious when it comes to work.
He was still staring at his phone --his wallpaper which his Tegoshi eating a gyoza while winking, when he received a phone call and his smile grew wider when he sees that it is Tegoshi who is calling him.
"Tesshi! I miss you~ I miss you~ miss you~" he heard his lover giggles on the other line and answered him with an 'I miss you too' , and he knows Kato is with him because he heard him, intentionally shouting, messing in the background "Happy Birthday Tesshi~ Aren't you going home yet?" Masuda said pouting
"Hey Massu~ I know you are pouting, don't pout, okay? We'll be back there before noon."
"Okay~ What are you doing right now? Why is Shige, Oi! Shige! Stop that! Don't just butt in in our conversation" Tegoshi and Kato both laugh and the latter shouted 'Okay, I'll stop' before he heard Tegoshi's voice again. "I'm glad Ryo gave back your phones already."
"Well, the whole team were unhappy about it and thanks to our team captain, Tomo-chan voicing out our feelings, he surrendered our phone last night. Ryo-chan is really weak when Tomo-chan is angry, ne~ Ah wait, Massu, what do you want me to buy for you? Shige and I are currently here in a unique shop, there are too many antiques and they are all so cool~ Really, Massu, it's a pity you can't see it. How I wish- Oh, Shige, are you giving that to Kei-chan? Oh, okay.- Massu? Are you still there?"
"Yeah. I'm still here Tesshi. I just miss your voice.. I guess" he said and was surprise when his voice sounded so sad.
"Massu" he giggles "don't worry. I'll be back and we'll be together again. It's my birthday after all, right? I want to spend my day with you."
Masuda smiles to himself as he felt Tegoshi's smile when he said those words. "Happy Birthday again, Tesshi. I love you."
"I love you too, Massu"
"Take care~ And please hurry back home. I can't wait to see you." he said with a grin plastered on his face.
---
"Shige! Look what I found! It's so cool, right?"
"Yes, it is. Where did you find that?" Kato looked back to see where Tegoshi is pointing. He is pointing at the end of the shelf. "Really? Are you sure?" Tegoshi nodded, his gaze locked at the bronze-colored pocket watch he is holding "How come I didn't see that there before?"
"Maybe your eyes didn't find it interesting at first glance."
"But I am pretty sure I haven't seen that there. I went back to that shelf slowly looking at the items and thrice already.."
"Well then, maybe someone took it and put it back there just on time when I was looking for something."
"That could happen.. That's what you are going to-" Tegoshi nodded enthusiastically "Do you think he would like it?"
"Of course ! It's from me after all~ What about you? Are you going to buy something for Kei-chan?"
"I will buy something for him but.. not here."
"Oh. Then, wait for me." Kato nodded and wanders to the other shelf, while waiting for Tegoshi.
As Tegoshi went to the cashier, the not so old man looked at him with disbelief and he thought for a moment that the pocket watch is not for sale. He was about to ask the old man but was cut off when he spoke to him and smiles afterward. He was telling Tegoshi that he is lucky because not everyone has the chance to take a hold of that pocket watch. He finds that sentence weird but Tegoshi just smiles and nodded.
When they were already outside, Tegoshi took the pocket watch from the box and clasped it between his hands. He doesn't know why but his heart is telling him that he should hold it tight and never ever let go of it. Kato took him to a cafe after buying what he wants for Koyama. He stares at his coffee and at the pocket watch on his hand, he didn't hear Kato calling him, not until Kato put a hand on his shoulder.
"Yes, Shige?"
"You are not listening at all" Kato groans "I was talking about treating you today since it's your birthday, so what do you want?"
" I.." Tegoshi tilted his head and then smiles, "Really, Shige?" he grins "you wouldn't mind if I told you to get me and Massu that silver bracelet, well I do not want the bracelet to be the same as yours and Kei-chan's, I would like to have a little star-shaped and cross-shaped hanging at the end, just after the lock. Mine would be the star and Massu will get the cross one." he grins
"Why am I buying one for Massu, too?"
"Because we are one, of course."

"Kei-chan! How should I do this? What's the next step?! Hey! Kei-chan! I thought you said it's easy to cook pasta" Masuda said, defeated. He wants to have a party for Tegoshi and decided that it would be nice to cook the food by himself but because Tegoshi always cook their food and he is not that good in cooking, he called Koyama asking him to teach him.
"If the water is boiling already.. wait I'm almost there, just wait for me."
The doorbell rang and Masuda flew directly to the door. He hold Koyama's wrist and run back to the kitchen.
"Massu.. why didn't you use a bigger pot?" Koyama looked at the small pot with so many sticks on it, the half of it was dipped in the water and the half is well, not. "And.. Massu, what .. is this?" Koyama looked horrified as he saw a plate of two-layered icing which he can't determine the exact shape of the cake-maybe, he took a knife and sliced it, there he saw how thick the icing was and how thin the sponge-maybe inside.
"Why did you slice the cake?!" Masuda panicked
"So that was really a cake"
"Huh?"
"Let's just buy a cake, Massu. A cake that looks like a cake, a new one , a yummy one"
"But I did my best on this... on coating it with icing" Masuda said sadly
"So, pasta and cake for Tegoshi's party? That's all you need? Or there's still more?" Koyama asked, ignoring Masuda's remark on his cake.
"An ice cream too. And I think that's all.. but my cak-"
"What time are they coming?"
"Tesshi said before noon. But I am guessing they'll be here at 1:00pm or 2:00pm"
"Right, Massu, you can cook whatever you always cook for Tegoshi, too. That would make him happy more." Koyama happily said
"You think so?" Masuda beamed
"Yes, of course he misses your cooking. So, what are you cooking for him? Except for Pasta." Koyama chirped
"Sunny side up and hotdog~ That'll do, right Kei-chan?" Masuda happily said as he went to the fridge to get some eggs and hotdogs.
"I think.. that'll do" Koyama said, more to himself.

Tegoshi and Kato were walking in the sidewalk happily recalling the match that just ended yesterday. They are heading back to the hotel now to get their bags and ready to leave. As they were heading to the corner of the street, Tegoshi took out his clock and looked at it. He smiles as Masuda's figure appeared in his mind. He was still looking at it when he saw something move. He stared at the clock intently, confusing Kato who is just beside him.
"What are you looking at?"
"Look closely Shige, there are numbers inside that little box right?" Kato nodded when he saw what Tegoshi meant
"Maybe this indicates the day today..?" he said reluctantly
"Then?"
"I think I broke it.. Look, it's 04 . It's not 04 today, It's 11 right? And the time, it stopped. Back at the shop, it was still moving and the time is the same as mine" he wriggled his wrist watch "but now, it's not the same.. and it stopped" Tegoshi said as he put back the clock to the pocket of his jacket.
"So? You are saying that we should go back to that store?" Kato asked but not really waiting for an answer, he added as he looked at Tegoshi "No, we can't. We have a plane to catch and it's almost time and we are almo--"
"Shige! Watch out!" Tegoshi suddenly pushed Kato hard towards the direction of the road, making him stumble and roll thrice.
Kato groaned as he helped himself up and was about to look up and shout at his friend who just push him to the road which is not a very good idea because it is the road and it is dangerous, thankfully he was not hit, he was safe, but the idea of shouting at Tegoshi vanished, he froze when he saw him two meters away from him, lying on his stomach, his jacket and his pants covered with dirt and some dark liquid coming from Tegoshi's head and body is painting the pavement he was in. Kato just stares, his mind is screaming Tegoshi's name but couldn't speak it out loud. His voice is nowhere to be found. His energy was taken away from him. Tegoshi needs help, Kato thought so he tried. He tried to speak but just a choke came out. And when he managed to say the word 'Help' it's just a whisper. Where in the world are they? Why aren't people helping them? Kato glanced at the sidewalk from where Tegoshi had pushed him, he wants to know what just had happened. There was car. And he saw a man inside, also bleeding. And the only thing he felt when he saw that man was anger, extreme anger. Suddenly, a voice called him, asking if he was okay and the only thing he could say is Tegoshi's name.
Kato looked as Tegoshi was lifted carefully and was placed into a stretcher and into a different ambulance. He winced when he felt pain from his elbow, from where a nurse was cleaning his wounds. Kato silently cried when the ambulance was nowhere to be found. What should he do now? What if Tegoshi. NO. Kei. He needs Kei. So he hurriedly took out his phone with many scratched from his jacket's pocket, to call a certain person that would help him. But then again, Tegoshi, who would help him? Masuda. Masuda will...
"Shige! Are you on your way already? You know I just helped Massu in preparing a party for Tegoshi's birthday. I am here in front of their apartment right now. Massu is so so funny earlier Shige. If you had seen his panicking face, you would burst out in laughter." Koyama cheerfully said, and he sniffs "Shige? Are you okay? What's that noise?" Koyama's cheerful voice was gone when he heard the loud wailing sound of the ambulance "Shige.. don't tell me the both of you are not going home today.."
"Kei.." he coughed, preventing his voice to break "Please.. Bring Massu with you and come here" he coughed again but it didn't help him anymore, his voice cracked when he added the accident and he could clearly picture out Koyama's face when he said that.
As the call ended, he didn't notice that the nurses earlier were already rolling him into the hospital. Kato closed his eyes, hoping everything that happened earlier was just a dream.
----
"Kei-chan, is there something wrong?" Masuda asked Koyama who is sitting beside him on the plane. Apparently, it is obvious that Koyama has a problem. He looks like he is in big trouble or depress, or someone he knows has just died or met an accident.
"I'm fine, Massu. I just want to see Shige.. that's all." Koyama said, almost teary-eyed. He can't tell Masuda now , not now. Maybe later, when their plane reached their destination. Maybe he could tell him then. But, can he really say something like that? He is troubled, very troubled. He is relieved that Kato was fine but hearing Kato said that Tegoshi is in the OR made his stomach tighten and his head fuzzy. Tegoshi is a friend, a close friend, a younger brother.
"Kei-chan? Kei-chan!" he shook Koyama's shoulder, snapping him out from his own thoughts. Masuda can clearly see something is wrong but he didn't dare to ask him again. "You really look bothered, Shige's fine, Kei-chan." is all he said and added 'Tesshi is too' inside his head.
----
He didn't understand why he feels this way. He looks more bothered than Koyama was on the plane. He had thought of something but he didn't dare to touch that thought. But Koyama's silence is making him ill. Koyama didn't tell a word when the plane boarded, didn't say something when they took a taxi, and didn't say anything other than the name of the hospital he said to the taxi driver.
And when they entered a room, he braced himself. He saw Kato, eyes closed, scratches on his face and some bandages on his arms and forehead. His eyes were looking for someone inside the room, but he didn't see what he is looking for.
"Shige, wake up" Koyama shook Kato's shoulder gently till he opened his eyes.
Kato hastily sits up and throws his arms to the person who woke him up. He wanted to cry when Koyama rubbed his back softly but stops himself when he saw Masuda standing behind Koyama. "Massu"
"Hi, Shige. Are you okay? What happened here? Kei-chan didn't tell me anything and.." he looked around "Where's Tesshi? Did he go out to buy some food?"
"Sorry, Massu.. for not telling you anything.. Te-"
"Kei-chan, bring me to the OR. Get me my wheelchair, I'm too tired to walk." he stares at Koyama as he get his wheelchair, he knows Masuda is looking at him confusedly that's why he focused his eyes to Koyama.
"Why OR? Shige, where's Tesshi?" Masuda said, nervousness clearly present in his voice
"Just come with us, Massu. I'll explain to you what happened when we get there." Kato said, voice soft, sad.
---
Masuda is listening, yes he is, but he couldn't fathom why Tegoshi, why today of all the days. Kato said it has been hours since they rolled Tegoshi inside the OR, but still no doctors came to him. And as they stopped in front of the OR, the door suddenly opened.
"Are you Tegoshi Yuya's relatives?" the doctor said, face serious, looking at the three of them in the eyes as they nodded. " I'm sorry but we already did our best"
Masuda averted his gaze at Kato, slightly laughing, not believing what just the doctor said "What do you.. Oh no, doctor. This is not the time to kid around" he said as he look back at the doctor and shook his head
"Massu" Koyama's voice cracked as he put a hand on his shoulder. Masuda directly fall to his knees.
"I'm really sorry." The doctor said again and handed Kato the clothes that Tegoshi wore. He reached for the pocket of Tegoshi's jacket and found the clock that he is supposed to give Masuda, without scratched. He looked behind him and saw Tegoshi's parents were already there, crying silently. Kato handed Tegoshi's clothes to them.
Masuda suddenly felt arms encircled around him, a woman's arm. He looked up and saw Tegoshi's father looking at him, sadness written all over his face. "Takahisa" Tegoshi's mother said "Please stay strong.. for your friends.. and family .. and for Yuya" he felt her grip tightened as she said his son's name. Masuda doesn't know what to say, doesn't know what to do, and doesn't understand what is happening around him. He had forgotten the reason why they came in Osaka, he had forgotten the reason why he is sitting on the floor. Tegoshi's father extended his hand to him and he reached up. He awkwardly stand and started to walk away from the OR when Kato reached up, stopping him from wherever he is going.
"This" Kato handed him a bronze-colored pocket watch, and he took it "When we were looking inside this unique shop, Tegoshi bought that.. for you. He couldn't wait to give that to you, Massu."
Masuda smiles and asked where Tegoshi is right now. He wanted to thank him. He likes his gift. But when he averted his gaze from the clock to Kato, Koyama and Tegoshi's parents, they all have the same kind of look --pity, sadness. And he remembers the accident. Right, Tegoshi's gone. He muttered an 'I am sorry' to no one in particular and break down, clenching the clock, pulling it on his chest.
