Note from Samkin: Hey everyone, I wrote this rather as an experiment. So
far I don't know what it will do, but I hope you like it. I just thought it
would be interesting on taking what Aya and the others thought about each
other.
Perspectives
Aya
Lying on his back, he heard the whole conversation in the hall. "How is he?" he heard Yohji asking his voice was strained as if he had been up all night. "He didn't look too good last night."
"His fever is close to 120, we have to keep him inside at all costs," he knew that was Omi, the little worrywart of Weiss. The boy had his good points; he had to admit that despite his parentage, Omi was nothing like his parents.
Aya just looked at the ceiling, he knew that his team was trying their best not to make him mad, but really he didn't want to be here. His eyes drifted to the door when he heard someone walking in, he saw Omi sitting down next to him with a bowl of ice water and a rag. He felt the rag go onto his forehead and he felt the chill of the water. "What are you doing?"
"Making you feel better, Aya-kun, so just stay in bed, Yohji is working your shift," he heard the boy whisper.
Being sick had its perks, he didn't have work, but really he wanted to, he heard the sound of Yohji talking on the phone. "Hey, just send a doc over, his fever just raised, okay," he knew to whom he was talking to, Kritiker doctors.
**
Aya decided to think about something else other than being sick, he remembered the few times he sat with Omi when he was sick. The boy had managed to start coughing up blood a few months ago, and it gave Ken and Yohji a scare. They were all over the poor kid who said it was nothing.
When the Kritiker doctors came out they said there was nothing really to be done, they said it was because of the one mission against Schriet, the kundalini experiments. That little war wound would never heal, of all the scratches and scrapes Omi got, that was the one that wouldn't go away. "It will haunt him for the rest of his life."
The rest of the team took their time telling people that Omi was getting sick again. In truth they tried to keep him from showing that the real problem was there.
He heard Omi coughing in the hall, he got out of bed and peeked out into the hall, the boy was leaning against the wall coughing holding a rag to his mouth. Taking it away there was hints of blood on his lips. "Aya-kun? Do you need something?"
"No," the red head responded and went back into his room.
Omi was the youngest, though he was brightest of the team. Sometimes Aya wished he could have been more of a brother to Omi, he acted out as a father, but really it was Yohji who was the guardian. Yohji showed some parental concern at times when he attended parent teacher conversances that turned into dates.
He remembered one time around Halloween, Omi had been fifteen years old and some older boys had taken his candy. He came back with an empty bag and was rather angry, he knew he couldn't draw his weapons.
Aya had gone out and found the older boys and scared them half to death, he came back with Omi's candy and some other kid's candy too. Ken said it was noble of him to do that, sadly he didn't think so.
**
Ken, he realized he had a respect for the guy who could punch him out. Aya hadn't really enjoyed too much of Ken's accidents. The guy could trip over his own shoes if he wasn't careful enough, but on a mission he was someone else. Ken was all business on a mission, he didn't mess around.
Ken had his funny moments; Aya remembered the night that Ken decided he wanted to cook. The whole apartment smelled like burnt pizza, which was the last time Omi let anyone named Ken in the kitchen.
The poor guy did have a heart, a huge one, Aya tried to remain patient when half of the soccer kids showed up at the flower shop for Ken's birthday. Other than that, it was quite an experience of five kids also trying to setup their coach with their mothers or sisters.
It took the poor soccer coach an hour to sort out why he wouldn't date their family members. He was kind about it, someone had to give the guy credit.
**
It was nine at night when Aya heard the sound of Yohji getting ready for another of his worthless dates. It was clear that Yohji did this only for show, he went out with two or three girls and then come home and goes to bed. Sex was never an issue with the guy, he more respect to a woman than a lousy one-night stand.
Yohji was never really much of a playboy really, he dated off and on, in truth finding someone to replace Asuka was what he sought out for. Though over the years Aya noticed a frightening change, he caught Yohji almost strangling a girl because mentally he thought that woman was Nue.
Something about that incident made Aya careful about his teammate.
**
Aya went to sleep around ten, he heard Omi coughing in his room, he heard Ken talking on the phone to a mother about tomorrow's game. Yohji was out on a date, it was quiet, in all the things that went on in the Weiss house, he treasured the silence.
