The start of a fiction for my girlfriend's Christmas gift. That doesn't mean everyone else can't enjoy is an anlternate universe TeitoXMikage fic, smut in later chapters, and depending on how much I like it, it may be detailed.

Reader discretion, ect ect.

The clinic administrator looked over the paper in the folder that had been delivered to his desk that morning, frowing at the new patient's information. An interesting case of multiple personality disorder where he couldn't remember anything when the other personality was present. This was normal enough, but there was also a reported physical change and the other personality had all memories from both of them. A picture was in the upper right corner with his medical information. Slightly tossled brown hair and piercing green eyes were all that stood out on the otherwise solum face. The administrator sighed and put the file in the drawer, standing from his chair and leaving to meet the new resident before letting the rest of the clinic at him.

~Teito's p.o.v.~

The room was empty, dull colors surrounding me in an otherwise lifeless room. At least the chairs were comfortable. There was a lady at the desk before, but left after telling me to 'sit down and relax'. How was I was supposed to relax here? The walls, a dead form of robins' egg blue, had no pictures, no signs of life. Was the whole place like this? I held the brown bag with my clothes in it in my lap, being in the only occipied seat in a room of 14 of them, and one couch.

The lady came back soon after I started counting the ceiling tiles, an older man following her.

"Here he is." The lady announced cheerfully, motioning her hand towards me like I was something of significant importance. The man looked me over with his one eye, the other being closed with a long scar covering it. He had short blackish hair and looked like he may have been in his 40s, but he suddenly smiled to me.

"Teito Klein, right?" I nodded. "I'm the clinic administrator, you may call me Jio." He held his hand out like he wanted me to shake it, but when I didn't it fell back to his side. "Anyway, I've already set up a room for you. You will have a room mate, who will tell you how things work around here, and if you have any trouble you can tell the nurses or consellers. Okay?" I nodded, only half-listening. Jio nodded at something, I'm not sure what, and walked out of the room, clearly wanting me to follow.

I walked behind Jio, but looked to the ground, finding the shining white floors more fascinating than where we were going. He stopped in front of a green door, opening it and motioning me inside. The walls here were a greyish yellow, and the two beds were covered in smokey grey blankets, one made while the other wasn't. There was a single wardrobe that I guess me and my room mate were supposed to share, and what looked to be a door to a small bathroom.

"I'll tell you're room mate to come meet you, follow the rules and we won't have any problems, besides that, make yourself at home." After telling me this he left, leaving me alone in an unfamiliar room.

~Mikage's P.O.V.~

"It's my turn to pick what to watch though!" I pouted as Castor handed the remote to Lazet. It figures she wanted to pick something to watch when House was about to come on. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad though. A small smile lit Lazet's face as he was handed the remote, turning to the t.v. and put on a movie. Howl's Moving Castle filled the screen before fading to the sceen behind it. Lazet sat down on the floor near Castor, watching with a shy smile.

'This is okay I guess, at least Howl is cute.' I smiled and sat on the couch, only to be summoned by one of the nurses. Athena smiled to me, so I guess I wasn't in trouble today.

"What is it?" I asked with a slightly tilted head to make myself look more curious and innocent and other such things she was a sucker for.

" Jio-sama told me tocome get you. You're supposed to go to your room right away."

"I didn't do anythin this time!" I tried to defend myself from whatever I did, but she looked confused.

"what?"

"What?" I smiled to her suddenly. "Well, off to my room, bye!" I ran passed her, waving to the occassional nurse of conceller on the way to my room. I didn't have a room mate yet, so it was a little messy, but that was no reason to send me to my room.

'Maybe I got a surprise!' I cheered in my head, stopping outside my room and opening the door eagerly. The light from the hallway lit the inside of the otherwise dark room, but I saw no colorful box or wrapped gift. My room was just the mess I had left it.

"Aww…this is disappointing." I sighed, jumping when a soft rustling noise came from the unused bed to my left. I opened the door so I could see better, seeing a mass on the now occupied bed that I could only assume was a person under the covers. A bright smile and a moment of pinning the person later, I was staring into the face of my new room mate. He looked so cute sleeping with his slightly angsty expression. He needed a hug, it was decided.

'I wonder what's wrong with him….to get him sent here…' Suddenly alarmed green eyes opened, stunnign me with their intensity as he knocked me off of him and onto the floor.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Suffering a concussion." I mumbled with a friendly smile, rubbing the back of my head and already loving his voice. Looking up from my place on the floor, those piercing green eyes assaulted me once again, this time with suspition rather than surprise.

"Who are you…?" He asked cautiously, pulling the covers up to his chest as if he would either go back to sleep or defend himself.

"I'm your new room mate, my name's Mikage, hi!" I smiled and waved to him, he didn't smile back, which was sad, I bet he had a nice smile, but he did uncover himself.

"I see…so you're the one he was talking about." It sounded like he was mostly talking to himself, which wasn't unusual around here, so I let him gather his thoughts.

"Want me to show you around?" I asked suddenly, only getting an empty look.

"Why?"

"Well….you're new…..and….I'm not, so why not?" He sighed, seeming to give into some inner delema.

"Fine." I once agai tried to hug him, but was just knocked back, guess he had faster reflexes than me.

"Let's go then!" Fast reflexes or not, I still grabbed his wrist and pulled him from the bed.

~Teito's P.O.V.~

I didn't remember saying he could touch me, or nearly disolate my shoulder, but he seemed determined to do so anway. This…Mikage guy…..something was up with him.

'Not like I'm one to talk.' I let him pull me along to the various rooms and hallways. He made sure I knew the way to the cafeteria, the counsel rooms, and finally stopped me at the rec. room.

"There, that's the basics for you, any questions?" He looked to me with sparkly gold eyes, what did he want from me?

"No." When was he going to leave me to myself, being around him was getting a little weird. He was so different than me. He didn't hesitate to reach out and touch someone, in fact; he seemed to go out of his way to do so. It was a little unnerving.

"You talk too much….do you?" He suddenly asked me, this guy was deffinatly weird.

"Not really…" I answered, a hand suddenly squeezing my shoulder from someone behind me.

"Well well well, who's this?" A deeper voice asked behind me, I looked to Mikage's face, seeing him look really happily relaxed enough for me to look behind me. The man behind me was definatly older than either me or Mikage, but couldn't have been any older than 25 or so. He had a rather arrogant smile, mildly short blond hair, and blue eyes, but why was he looking at me like that?

"Umm….I haven't asked his name yet, but he's my new room mate!" Mikage answered cheerfully, even if the question seemed more directed at me. Personally, I didn't like this guy; he just gave me a weird vibe, but not the same weird as Mikage. The man smiled back to me after looking to Mikage, once again creeping me out.

"So why don't you tell me your name?"

"No." I didn't really want to say anything to him; I honestly would have preferred Mikage's company to this guy's.

"Oh? Whatever brat, I'm Frau, one of the counsolers." I knew this trick, he wanted me to feel compelled to introduce myself out of politness. That wasn't going to happen. I continued to say nothing, not even looking at him, but I don't think he got the hint.

Mikage suddenly grabbed me hand, saying a quick goodbye and pulled me over to the couch near where some movie was playing on the t.v. I didn't recognize it, but then again, I've never did like movies.

"Frau's not bad guy, he's really like a big brother figure around here, and just as irrespondsible." Mikage laughed, but I didn't see the humor in someone being irrespondsible.

"He seems a little strange to me." I mumbled, noticing that we weren't alone. Glance back to me was a pink haired girl with pointed ears and purple eyes. Mikage must have noticed I wasn't looking at him anymore because he turned to look at her too before turning back to me.

"That's Lazet, she's really shy, so don't get mad if she runs away from you." I waved to her, receiving a small smile as she waved back.

"She doesn't seem so shy."

"She is…you'd only be the 2nd and half person that she smiled to."

"A half?"

"She likes me half of the time, but she /really/ likes Castor." I raised an eyebrow at the unfamiliar name. " He's another counsoler." Mikage pointed to a red haired man around Frau's age, but he looked much friendlier, even with his glasses hiding his brown eyes for a moment.

"I see…" I looked back to the t.v. to watch what Mikage told me was 'Howl's Moving Castle'.

After the movie was over we went to the cafeteria for dinner, Mikage got a lot of yakisoba things, but I just got a pint of milk and pulled out a few vitamins from the bag in my pocket as we sat down. Mikage grabbed my wrist holding the bag, I glarred at him for this.

"What are you doing?" I asked in a accusing tone.

"Taking my vitamins, why?"

"Oh…." He dropped my wrist.

"What?"

"I thought yo snuck in drugs." I sighed, did he really think I was that stupid?

"Of course not, now can I go back to my dinner?"

"Is that all you're going to eat?" I shrugged. "Are you anerxic?" He asked in a hushed whisper.

"No! I don't always feel hungry, so I take vitamins to make up for it." He visibly relaxed after I said this.

"That's good, there's someone here who is, poor guy passes out a lot."

"I'm not anerxic." I said again.

"But you should still eat with vitamins!" He left the table and went back into the line just as suddenly as he usually acted on his thoughts. Why was I feeling weird now that he left? I guess I was already getting used to him being around me constantly, for some reason he was looking out for me. I just didn't get why.

~Mikage's P.O.V.~

Well I was getting him him to talk to me now,but he wasn't anerxic, and while that was good, but I still wanted to know what was wrong with him. I brought him back a small bowl of poridge so he would have something in his stomach. I put the bowl down in front of him and he ate its contents silently. I didn't like his silence, so should I ask?

"So, what's wrong with you anyway?" Well I asked now,couldn't take it back. He stopped eating, putting the spoon down.

"I'd rather not say."

"Why not? I mean, I'll find out eventually anyway."

"Then I guess you'll find out then." He smiled a sad smile, like he was ashamed at something. He was still so stuborn it was cute.

"Guess I will." I smiled to him as he looked over and chuckled quietly. 'Yay! Improvement~!'

"Are you ever not happy?"

"Almost never, it's why I'm here after all." His eyebrow raised slightly as he expression turned to one of confussion.

"How could being happy get you sent here?"

"Well….it's sort of being bipolar without the 'bi' part. Basically, I'm stuck being overly happy. It just takes a lot to upset me." I smiled, eating my dinner while occassionally looking to him. He seemed so much more relaxed than he was earlier, and even though I had no idea what was wrong with him, I still wanted him to be my friend.

"So…where do we go after this?" He asked suddenly, finishing up the food I had brought him and fiddled with the straw to his milk.

"Well, you're new, so you can do whatever for now, but a lot of us have therapy after dinner."

"I see….you too?"

"Yeah, but I'll be back before bed time, which is usually 11"

"Bed time?" He looked like he was about to laugh at the concept.

Well…it's more of a curfew, we just have to be in our rooms by then, after that we can do whatever in there." Was it wrong that I was thinking of more….inproper things, but he was so stuborn and hot and I should really stop thinking now.

"Anyway, I should probably get going, see ya buddy." I stood up from me seat.

"Mikage…"

"Yeah?" I glanced over to him and saw he was smiling.

"My name's Teito Klein." He slowly offered his hand to me, which I grabbed and shook vigarously.

"Well Teito, I know we're going to be the best of friends!"

~Teito's P.O.V.~

He was happy before, so would the word 'estatic' be a good word for him now? He was even hurting me hand a bit.

"We'll see about that." I pulled my hand away, but the skin was still burning from his touch. Why did he feel so much warmer now, or was it just me? I waited for him to leave before hurrying to my…our room. He'd be gone for a while, maybe in that time I'll be able to figure out why I was feeling like this and calm down.

I laid down on the bed I was to use and closed my eyes, taking deep breath after deep breath, but nothing calmed my pounding heart. Why was I feeling like this now, I was fine earlier around Mikage, but why was I now feeling nervous? Did I miss him or something? That couldn't have been it, I hardly knew him after all, there's no reason to miss someone I hardly knew.

My vision started to fade as I thought I was falling asleep, darkness surrounding me as I feel into a warm embrace.

"It's my turn now master." A voice…my voice, said inside my head, the warmth staying as I felt something leave my side, leaving me alone in the welcoming darkness but still stayed somewhere close
