Welcome to weird shit enjoy.
Yuu should've been dead. It didn't make sense for him to be alive. A car had hit him, and yeah sometimes people can survive from that, but Yuu just knew when it was coming toward him that he was going to die.
He wasn't dead though. At least he thought he wasn't. It was a weird half conscious state. If you could even call it that. Was he even conscious? Was there a way to have a train of thought when you were unconscious? Was he dreaming?
Yuu didn't know but he felt the world of slumber tugging at him again and no matter how much he wanted to he couldn't resist...
This was weird.
Mika hadn't imagined it would feel like this when he signed up. He was in another person's body. There was a new treatment that could save people when they died or were almost dead, but it had to happen fast and didn't always work. Mika didn't know how long it'd been since he signed up to donate his mind to help people this way. Had it been a month? A year? More? He hoped they'd gotten rid of his body by now, he wasn't going to need it. He'd be in this person's body from now on, until he wasn't. But still was. It was complicated.
Mika had donated his mind at the age of sixteen. That's the age you have to be to donate, which was stupid considering that meant minors were allowed to ruin their life this way, but Mika was fine with it since it allowed him to get away from his parents.
He signed the forms and the hospital framed it as if he died. Sketchy, he knew. They did this to have as many people to use for their experiment as possible.
He had a pretty shitty life that led up to this but didn't want to think about it now, in case the body's owner heard him. He wanted to go over what was going to happen to him again.
First, he would have partial control over this person's body, which would probably scare the shit out of them. Their eyes would also change to be the color of Mika's, which were blue. Mika's mind and their mind would slowly become one, the owner could keep any positive personality traits of Mika's they wanted and throw away the other one's. Then Mika's consciousness would slowly fade away until there was nothing left. He was glad he could at least help someone live, even if he himself never got the chance to.
Then Mika suddenly felt something. He could feel. He gained feeling of his body, well, the owner's body. Maybe he should open his eyes and see what he was dealing with?
As soon as he opened his eyes he was tackled. He tried to struggle but this body was a bit weak. Or maybe it was his control over the body? He was used to moving it. "Um..." He tried saying, this voice sounded a little hoarse he supposed. It was weird to talk with a voice that wasn't your own.
"Yuu!"
"Yuu-san!"
"Yuu-kun!"
People exclaimed, seeming happy that he was awake. Or well, the body. They probably thought it was their friend or family that was waking up, instead they were going to talk to him.
"Um, hello...did the hospital explain the treatment to you?" Mika asked timidly. These people were strangers to him and they'd probably be freaked out he was invading their loved one's body, so to speak.
When he spoke the stranger's faces turned from happy to sad. One man who hadn't gone in for the hug, whose arms were crossed and he was standing at the corner of the room, had a dark expression on his face. He definitely wasn't happy to see him. Or well, hear him? Talk to him? Mika wasn't sure how to phrase it.
"You must be the person that the doctor was talking about, the one that supposed to keep Yuu alive." The black haired man said.
"Um, yes." The man made him nervous. "I'm Mikaela, but you can call me Mika."
There was a bit of silence after that, until a brown haired boy spoke. "It's nice to meet you, Mika-kun. I'm Yoichi, one of Yuu's friends. Have you spoken to him?"
They would be able to talk to each other in this body, Mika and the owner, Yuu. Although he hadn't been able to reach his mind yet.
"No, not yet. I've been trying but it seems he's not awake yet." Mika said.
"You'd don't have any malicious intent, do you? Do you want to take full control of Yuuichirou's body?" The intimidating black haired man asked.
Mika shook his, Yuuichirou's? head. "No, if I wanted a body I would've stayed in my own. I could still go back to mine if I change my mind, probably. It depends on how long it's been since I've left."
"Won't he die if you leave?"
"No, he shouldn't if I've been here long enough. But it might be too late for me to go back by then. You don't have to worry about it though, I'm not going to try to leave."
"And why would you do this? Give up your future just save a stranger?" A pink haired boy with glasses asked. That was a peculiar hair color.
"I didn't have a future and I never would've. There's nothing for me to go back to. The whole world thinks I'm dead, so you don't have to worry about it." He told them.
Most of them gave him sad looks and looks pity, which he didn't want, didn't need. He made this decision by his own free will. He wouldn't regret it. The black haired man however just glared him. Mika was the person who saved his loved one's life, you think he'd be a little more grateful. Maybe he didn't like Yuuichirou?
"Why don't we introduce ourselves then~" A purple haired girl said, seemingly trying to lighten the mood. "I'm Shinoa, Yuu-san's best friend that he's forever grateful to. He kisses the ground I walk on." He could tell Shinoa was fabricating her introduction somehow.
"I'm Kimizuki." The pink haired boy said, keeping it short.
"He's Yuu-kun's friend, and so am I. I'm Yoichi." Yoichi said, introducing himself again.
"I'm Mitsuba, also Yuu's friend." A blonde haired girl said.
They all looked over to the black haired man but he was silent. Eventually, he gave in and said, "I'm Guren, Yuu's adoptive father. I only signed up to take care of one brat, not two."
Mika frowned. He didn't talk very nicely about his son. He hoped Yuuichirou's home situation wasn't as bad as his own, otherwise he didn't know what he'd do.
"He may seem grumpy but he does care about Yuu. Being Yuu's best friend I'll take the liberty of introducing him. Yuu's an idiot that'd be hopelessly lost without us. Sixteen, black hair, formerly green eyes." Shinoa said.
Mika frowned again, she didn't talk about Yuuichirou nicely either. Were they really his friends and family?
"Ah, don't worry. It's normal that Yuu-kun's friend call him an idiot. It's kind of inside joke thing, ahaha..." Yoichi trailed off, laughing nervously.
"I'm going to go to try and contact Yuuichirou now..." The sooner he could get away from these people, the better.
"Make sure to say hi to him for me! Ask him if he had any dirty dreams while he was out!" Shinoa said. What was wrong with these people?!
Mika didn't answer and instead closed his eyes, letting a somewhat unconscious state come over him.
Yuuichirou? He called in the link that was between their minds. He didn't answer. Was he going to wake up? Mika was becoming worried. Those people would hate him if he woke up only to tell them Yuuichirou was gone for good.
Yuuichrou! He called, louder this time.
What the, why is there a person talking in my head?! Am I going crazy?! I'm still alive, right?
Mika couldn't help but chuckle at the voice. It sounded similar to the one he'd spoken out loud with, but more like it had been used recently. He guessed it'd be weird to sound hoarse in your mind.
You're alive, the hospital kind of...it's a long story. Basically, they put another mind inside your body to keep you alive. That mind is me.
How would that keep me alive?!
Mika mentally shrugged, even though he didn't have a body to do it with. Don't ask me.
So...you're going to be inside my head forever?
No, I'll go away eventually. For now I'll just help you out with things.
What happens when you leave?
I'll disappear.
What?! That's horrible!
Don't think of it like that. Our minds will kind of become one. I know that sounds a little creepy, but don't worry. You'll still be you, memories and all. Plus you'll get to keep whatever traits you like about me. Think of it like shopping.
That is creepy! I'm not going to go shopping for your personality traits! And you can't just disappear!
Mika chuckled again. You make it seem like we've known each other forever, Yuu-chan~ I'm glad you'll miss me so much. Might as well be himself, Yuu couldn't hurt him, at least not phsically. It'd be hurting himself.
Don't tease me!
Okay, I'll get rid of it. Mika said, trying to rid his mind of any desire to tease. He wanted to be himself but was prepared to do what the owner wanted regarding his personalitly.
Wait stop! What do you mean get rid of it?
You can get rid of whatever you don't like about me.
That's stupid, don't change just because I want you to!
But you're going to have to deal with these traits yourself eventually, better to get rid of what you don't like now. Think of it like spring cleaning.
Whenever you try to make it sound normal, it just sounds creepy! Anyway, don't get rid of something unless I tell you to, okay?
Alright. Mika said, he was confused as to why Yuuichirou cared about that so much.
What's your name? Yuuichirou asked, starting up conversation again.
I'm Mikaela, but you can call me Mika.
I'm Yuuichirou, it seems like you knew that though, you can call me Yuu.
Okay, Yuu-chan~
Don't make me regret my decision!
Soon enough they were slowly waking up. Yuu opened his eyes to Guren, Shinoa, and everyone else there.
"Hey," Yuu said.
At this everyone jumped on him, attempting to hug him but it wasn't going well. It was more like a game of 'pile of top of Yuu'. "Guys, can you get off of me!"
"Yup, that's definitely Yuu." Mitsuba said as they all moved off of him.
"Yuu-kun, we're so glad you're okay!" Yoichi said.
"Yeah, me too." He said, laughing humorlessly. He'd almost died, how had he survived that?
"How long was I out?" Yuu asked.
"About a week." Guren answered.
Yuu groaned. Had he really been out a week? He'd missed school, not like he cared about school, but Guren would be on his ass until he caught up with his work.
Speaking of school, how long would it be until they made him go back? He surprisingly wasn't that sore. He wasn't really sore at all, maybe this hospital was some kind of magic? Maybe all the sleep helped him get better faster? Maybe the pain hadn't hit him yet?
"Oh," Yuu said, remembering something. "I had the weirdest dream. Some guy was talking to me in it, saying we were gonna merge minds or something..."
That's so mean Yuu-chan! I wasn't a dream!
"Holy shit." Yuu said out loud. That wasn't a dream?!
"I take it you've met Mika-san, Yuu-san! Is he cute?" Shinoa asked.
"How am I supposed to know?! I couldn't see him!" Yuu yelled. It's not like Shinoa could date him, he was in Yuu's body! He shivered at the thought of Mika dating Shinoa.
"I at least know he has pretty eyes." Shinoa said.
Yuu felt himself blush at the comment, though he wasn't the least embarrassed. Maybe Mika was?
"How do you know that?" Yuu asked her.
"Yuu, here." Mitsuba said, reaching into Shinoa's purse and handing him a mirror.
A light gasp came out of his mouth and he wasn't completely sure if it was his or Mika's. His eyes were blue now. Yuu admitted they were a nice blue, luckily blue was his favorite color. But his eyes weren't supposed to be blue, they were green. How had they turned blue?
These are the color of my eyes, just a side effect. There shouldn't be more. You're cute, by the way.
"Shut up." Yuu said out loud, his cheeks turning pink.
Shinoa giggled. "Yuu-san, what did Mika-san say?"
"N-Nothing!"
Guren sighed. "As much as I'd love to stay here and watch you flirt with yourself, I'm going to go sign you out. The doctor said once you woke up you'd be ready to go." Guren said, walking out of the room.
"So what am I supposed to do now?" Yuu asked to no one in particular.
"I assume Guren will send you back to school if you're completely well, then you'll hang out with us~ Yuu, did you get stupider while you were out?" Shinoa said.
"I think he did." Kimizuki said.
Mistuba solemnly nodded.
"Shut it you guys!" Yuu yelled.
Are your friends alway like this? Mika asked him.
"Yeah, most of the time." Yuu said.
Mika chuckled.
"What?" Yuu asked.
You do know you can talk to me in your mind, right? You don't have to talk out loud. I get why your friends say those things now.
"Hey!"
Mika laughed again. I'm kidding, I'm kidding. I'm sure your very smart.
I'll have you know I'm the smartest person you'll ever meet!
Really? Then what's 85436 dived by 4?
Uuh...give me a minute.
I see Yuu-chan, so smart. Mika said, freaking giggling now.
"Shut up!" Yuu said, out loud this time.
"What is he saying Yuu-san?" Shinoa said, practically jumping up and down. "Can we talk to him?"
"How would you guys talk to him?" Yuu asked confused.
I can control your body for the time being, but I wasn't planning to do it often in case it bothered you.
You don't have a body of your own, right? So I guess we have to share.
You're nice, Yuu-chan.
At that Yuu's face flushed.
"Come on, I need to know what you're saying, stop having a conversation in your head! You blushed. Or Mika did. Either way, I need to know what's going on!" Shinoa said.
"I just said Yuu-chan's nice." Mika said, and it was weird to have your body move if you weren't controlling it. Yuu didn't like the feeling but he'd have to get used to it.
"Nice? That's not a word I'd use to describe Yuu. Idiot's more like it." Kimizuki said.
"Or stupid." Mitsuba added.
"Those are both the same thing, whose the stupid one now!" Yuu said.
"Still you." Mitsuba said.
Yuu just couldn't win, could he?
