Kyoya opened his eyes feeling dizzy,slightly ill and tired . He sighed, realizing where he was. He remembered just a bit of what had happened.
I'll never hear the end of this, Nice job Kyoya. He thought listening to the beeping from the monitor beside him. He stared up at the ceiling,it wouldn't be long before his father arrived to tell him what a disgrace he was for being so weak and allowing this to happen.
"Good, you're awake now." Yuuichi said entering the room. He walked over to stand beside the hospital bed.
"How are you feeling?"the eldest brother asked, resting a hand on Kyoya's forehead briefly.
"Fine, I have things to do today so if you would just-"
"You had things to do. Whatever your plans were, they'll wait. You feel a bit warm, any stomach pain?"
"No. They can't wait. I have too much to-"
"That's your problem, you have too much going on right now, you need to slow down. You'll make yourself really sick. Do you know what happened?"
"Yes,I'm feeling better now and there's no need to be concerned. It was just a little dizzy spell."
"That caused you to collapse and lose consciousness, scare our sister half to death and do you have any idea what it's like to get a phone call about your brother not waking up?"
"It wasn't-"
"Kyoya, if you say it wasn't that bad, I swear in the name of all that is good in this world I will keep you here for the next two weeks."
"You can't do that, not for a simple case of being overly tired."
"If you don't slow down, do you know what it can do to your health, it can effect your heart, your entire-" Kyoya sighed.
Perfect, not only do I have to hear it from my father, Yuuichi has to lecture me as well. I have the finances to work on, the tests , the supplies for the host club to order, Father just added - I don't have time for this.
"...and I don't want to see you go through all of that, I know there's a lot to be expected of you and you're a hard worker, no one can deny that, but even the best need a break here and there. I know it might not seem like it, but I do love you. That's why I'm going to restrict your activities , I want you to stay here for today, and if you really try to rest,I'll let you go in the morning. I'll warn you, depending on how you do tonight, I might send you home on bed rest for a day or so and then we'll talk."
"I have school, I haven't missed a day since elementary." Kyoya protested attempting to sit up only for his brother to push him back against the bed.
"Kyoya, I'm sorry. If I let you keep going, I'm concerned that it's going to have serious consequences. I'll give you the choice, strict rest at home, or you can rest here. Are you still feeling dizzy?" Kyoya remained silent.
"So I can assume that's a yes. Then you're probably still feeling nauseous, do you want something to help with that?" after a moment of hesitation, Kyoya nodded. Kyoya was already imagining the words from his father, the stern look, these thoughts only added to his nausea, Yuuichi fixed the blanket around his younger brother.
"Stop worrying, as a doctor I need to do what's best for my patient, as the eldest brother, sometimes it means looking after my siblings. I'll have a talk with our father, tell him this is my fault, if he has a problem, he can bring it to me. I want you to allow yourself to relax, try to sleep, if you need anything, I'll be working late tonight, The doctor's are having a meeting. I'll come back and check on you throughout the day." Kyoya turned his head away from his brother.
"I mean it Kyoya, you need to rest and take it easy. Are you listening to me?"
"Yes."Kyoya replied without turning to him.
"Alright, just rest. I'll call Fuyumi and let her know you woke up. She'll probably want to see you. I'll contact your friends if you want, to let them know you're okay."
"Did Fuyumi call Tamaki?"Kyoya asked quickly.
"I don't think so, but I'm sure-"
"If she didn't can you please ask her not to, I'll take care of that." Yuuichi nodded.
"Then I'll have her bring you your phone." Yuuichi said before disappearing from view, leaving Kyoya to his thoughts and having to decide what to tell the host club.
