kuroo tetsurou x reader
your husband, kuroo tetsurou got into an accident.
the moment you heard the news, your phone dropped to the floor but it didn’t crack that bad.
still, your heart shattered.
how are you supposed to stay still with the newly received news? you picked up your cracked phone, still functioning (fortunately), grabbed the car keys and headed out of the apartment you live with kuroo tetsurou.
“please.. please..” you muttered, with your shaky hands, starting the car and drive immediately to the place you were told.
“be alright..” you whispered, begging at the edge of desperation.
still driving, you did not care of the people that kept honking their cars at you for breaking the rules of being a careless driver on the road. for you, those noises were muffled to your ears and your priority right now is your husband, kuroo tersurou. at this point, you could be in fast and furious - yes, the movie.
the moment you arrived, your paces were fast, even though you hate running, you could win a marathon for running as fast as lightning. flash, perhaps? you reached the counter, didn’t want to waste a second to ask, “hi, I’m looking for a patient named kuroo tetsurou.”
“he is in the ICU, right now. are you his wife?” the receptionist said, looking at your worried figure.
“yes, I’m kuroo y/n. may I know the room, at least?”
the receptionist gave you all the information you need and you proceeded to head to the room that you have to wait outside. you have the urge to break the door open without waiting. you are kinda impatient but you didn’t want to cause trouble so you wait outside.
what felt like an hour and half, a doctor came out of the room, he noticed you and approaches you which you finally look up to see the doctor.
“you must be kuroo tetsurou’s wife?”
“yes, doctor. how is his condition?”
the doctor sighs audibly, he seems hesitate but he still needs to tell the person in front of him. “fortunately, we managed to save him,” hearing that first sentence from the doctor had you relieved at first until he continues, “he has some internal bleeding in his liver. apparently, we need more blood to keep him stable. it is due to his brain damage and blood loss. do you know anyone that has the same blood type as him?”
“I have the same blood type as him, doctor. I don’t mind giving mine as long as it means to save him,” you told the doctor, holding tears so it wouldn’t fall on your cheek. you have to be tough in this situation.
“alright, we will give you some time for you to rest and then we can proceed with drawing the blood,” the doctor informed.
some time passed, you are ready to draw your blood. you sat beside his bed, looking at all the wires connected to him. you hate seeing this sight, especially it’s him. ‘it should’ve been me,’ you thought, no expression showed on your face but deep down, you feel rage, anger, sadness, scared and more to describe.
“stay strong, my love,” you whispered, followed by a smile.
whoever did this to your husband, may death welcomed them in an unpleasing way.
“kuroo y/n, are you ready?” the doctor asked and you nodded as an answer.
my eyes are taking a lot of time to open. white lights blinding my eyes that made me close my eyes right away. i can hear the beeping sounds of the machine, ‘yes.. I got into an accident.. at least my memory isn’t- wait- MY WIFE!’
I sat up straight at the thought of my wife, how long have I been here? is my wife alright? am I still dreaming? the sounds of my bones cracked, shit, I’m in reality.
I pinched myself and looked at the other bed that is placed beside me. that figure laying on the bed is definitely my wife. I can recognize those familiar features. what happened? why is she here? why is she not awake?
“oh- kuroo-san, you’re awake. I guess your wife still need more sleeping time,” a voice was heard as the person- doctor, came in. “your wife is alright. she just needs rest. you too, kuroo-san,” the doctor added, helping me to take off the napping mask as he knows I wanted to speak.
“I don’t understand why is she here,” I mumbled, unsure if that is loud enough for the doctor to hear.
“she gave her blood to you. it has been two days now. she fainted right after giving the blood. she woke up this morning, by the way. she said she wanted more sleep after having breakfast,” the doctor explained, a sigh of relief escaped my lips.
“I guess I’ll wait for her to wake up. I want her to see me as the first person when she wakes up,” I said and then I heard a chuckle from her.
“you’re the one who got into an accident, idiot. that should be me saying it to you,” y/n said, sitting up straight to face me.
“I thought you were asleep?” I asked, facing the doctor who gave a shrug.
“you think it was easy for me to sleep at the thought of you might actually die?!”
this time, it’s my turn to laugh lightly but painful because of the newly fresh broken bone. it didn’t have to be removed, fortunately.
the doctor joined in a second-short laugh. “you only have a broken right elbow and the back of your neck. it will take months to heal. therefore, your brain was the most complicated one. fortunately, it solved. kuroo tetsurou will be discharged in two weeks while kuroo y/n can be discharged today,” the doctor informed.
“that’s good to know. thank you, doctor,” y/n said, giving a light bow but part of me feel guilty.
“I shall give time for the two of you,” the doctor said and leaves the room.
“I’m sorry, babe. I’m going to cause you trouble because I got into an accident- I-,” my words were cut off by her shushing.
“shhhhh, I don’t want to hear apologies. it’s not your fault. I’m going to do some investigations on who did this so they would get a payback, okay? I’m going to take care of you this time. you have been taking care of me-.”
“we have been taking care of each other, y/n.”
y/n gave a smile, “yeah, right.”
“now that I know you gave your blood to me. this means we’re really meant for each other,” I said, pausing myself. “I love you, kuroo y/n. we will never separate from each other because you’re my lover, my life, my wife, my forever, we’re connected.”
“pfft how poetic of you even after this,” y/n stated, pointed out about this accident, which means, trying to tease me.
“hey! that shows how much I love you, y/n!”
y/n laughed, and continues, “‘we're like the blood in our veins. we must flow without stopping. keep your oxygen moving and your mind working.’ wasn’t that how you set the mood back in high school? well, that time, my brain only worked to do anything for you as long as it would save your life. and the fact that nekoma’s banner written as ‘connect.’”
“iconic how the blood and connect were mentioned and now your blood and my blood are connected and flowing in my veins! no metaphor intended!”
“yeah okay, I love you too, kuroo tetsurou.”
