He ran over to the forest and saw muddy footprints. He followed the footprints and ran into the forest calling Shingyouji's name out. He got to the middle of the forest and after a steps, the footprints stopped. Misu was now sick with worry because he couldn't hear Shingyouji calling back.

He looked left and right deciding which way to go. He went left and ran fast. He was running when he saw something catch his eye.

He stopped and went forward towards the light and there was Shingyouji. He was sitting on a rock sleeping. Misu went up to him now relieved that he had found Shingyouji. He went up to him and touched his face but it was covered in sweat. "Shingyouji? Called Misu looking at Shingyouji's red and sweaty face. He looked down and saw a rock. He tried to move Shingyouji but then he realized that Shingyouji's foot was caught in the rock. "Shingyouji! Wake up!" shouted Misu trying to move the rock.

Shingyouji softly moaned and said "Mmmh?" with closed eyes. Misu said to him "I'm going to need for you to relax now okay? You will be okay Shingyouji, I'm here". Shingyouji didn't know what was going on but he felt in his leg and he heard Misu's voice so he nodded and tried to relax.

Misu used all of his strength and moved the rock finally freeing Shingyouji's foot. Shingyouji felt the rock move from his foot but he felt the pain increase and he screamed in pain now fully awake.

He looked up and saw Misu. Misu put his one arm around Shingyouji's neck and one around his legs, "ok Shingyouji, this is going to hurt but I'm going to pick you up on the count of three ok?" and when he reached three, he lifted Shingyouji bridal style. Shingyouji wanted to scream again but didn't have any strength left so he let his head rest on Misu's chest as Misu carried him out of the forest and into school.

The lessons were now over and everyone saw Misu carrying Shingyouji into school, they were all shocked and ran up to them. But before they could, Gii stopped them so that Misu could make his way to the nurse's office. He barged into the office and put Shingyouji on the bed looking around for the nurse.

The nurse came and was about to shout at Misu but when he saw Shingyouji on the bed, he forgot everything and started checking Shingyouji.

Several hours later…..

Shingyouji was fast asleep in the nurse's office and Misu sat beside him all that time waiting for Shingyouji to wake up. It turns out that Shingyouji had broken his left leg having shattered a few bones in his foot and lower leg. It would take about 6 months for the leg to recover fully.

Shingyouji felt warm and comfortable and opened his eyes. He looked around and saw that he was wrapped in white sheets on the bed in the nurse's office. He looked to the side and saw Misu looking at him calmly. He tried to sit up but Misu pushed him back down onto the bed "stay lying, you're not well enough yet so it's better if you lie down" said Misu as he sat back down. Shingyouji tried to move his legs, his right leg moved fine but he couldn't feel his left leg.

"What happened?" asked Shingyouji shutting his eyes, everything suddenly came flooding back into his mind. How he had run into the forest after Misu had kissed him in the toilets and how he had found that beautiful place in the forest. He sat down but something trapped his foot and he felt hot and he couldn't see anything more. He also remembered hearing Misu's voice when Misu had found him in the forest feeling relieved that someone was there to rescue him.

Misu was about to speak when Shingyouji said "I remember… you came to rescue me". Misu was going to reply when Shingyouji held his hand up and said "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry, it's all my fault that this happened". Misu looked up and said "why are you apologizing? I should be apologizing because if I hadn't kissed you earlier, you wouldn't have ran away." Shingyouji felt angry and said "why are you apologizing!? It's all my fault about how I changed my look and how I tried to change myself". Misu was confused and said "what are you talking about?" Shingyouji sighed and knew that he had to tell Misu now and stop this stupid cool act that was breaking them apart. He took a deep breath and said "I'm talking about how all of this is an act, I tried to change myself so that you wouldn't think I was pathetic and so that you would have someone you were proud to call your boyfriend." Misu was speechless and Shingyouji continued "I'm sorry that I lied to you about this whole thing and I know you probably despise me now." This got Misu angry and he burst out "look Shingyouji, I have never been ashamed to call you my lover. I love you with all my heart and I don't hate you, not at all. I love you, everything about you so don't change yourself".

Shingyouji was so happy to hear this that he had tears in his eyes "really?" "Of course!"

Shingyouji sat up and outstretched his arms and Misu leant into him giving him a hug and a kiss. Misu soon had Shingyouji panting for breath as they were having an ultimate make out scene on the bed. Shingyouji leant forward so that there wouldn't be any space between them. They heard someone cough and broke apart immediately. Shingyouji's cheeks were tomato red whereas Misu looked as if nothing had happened.

It was the nurse with a clip board in his hands. Luckily he was not one to tell as he had a boyfriend himself. "Don't let anyone catch you" he said trying to sound strict but failing. Shingyouji and Misu nodded and the nurse continued. "Well, Shingyouji. You have shattered over 15 bones in your foot and lower leg and will not be able to walk until your leg has fully healed which will take about 6 months, but don't worry, your leg will recover quickly and you will be fine".

Shingyouji felt faint as he lay back on the bed trying to absorb the information he was being told, he wouldn't be able to walk properly for 6 months, half a year. He would miss the Judo club and would also miss participating in the annual sports competition. He turned to the side and felt a tear leak out of his eye. He felt Misu's cool hand slid into his warm one and he held onto it tightly.

The nurse had now left them to be alone. "It's ok Shingyouji, I will take care of you" said Misu knowing how Shingyouji would be feeling. Shingyouji turned to look at Misu and said "wont I be a burden?" Misu replied saying "well of course not! You are mine so I have to take full responsibility of you right?" Shingyouji smiled and nodded. His heart felt heavy but he knew Misu would be by his side so he felt better.

One month later…

Shingyouji had been excused for classes for two months until he could walk with crutches. Misu was also his temporary roommate for half a year because the nurse swapped a few things around for them for which they were very thankful. Shingyouji could only have a shower once a week now because of the cast on his foot and Misu gave him the baths. Misu would bring food for Shingyouji and give him massages talking to him about the day. Gii, Hayama-san, Takabayashi and Yoshizawa had also visited leaving him a basket full of get well gifts. Today was Saturday, Shingyouji's bath day.

Misu prepared the clothes and towel for Shingyouji and carried him into the bath. Shingyouji let Misu give him a bath but Shingyouji kept his boxers on. Shingyouji's broken leg would lean over the bath while Misu washed him. Shingyouji was very surprised because today, Misu got in the bath with him. Misu saw Shingyouji's shocked face and said "what? I'm not allowed to take a bath with my boyfriend?" and he got the shampoo. Shingyouji said nothing and let Misu wash his hair. Misu asked for Shingyouji to wash his hair so Shingyouji did, it was easy because Misu was sitting in front of Shingyouji. Shingyouji was going to scrub Misu's back when Misu turned around and kissed him. Shingyouji was a bit startled but kissed him back all the same.

Misu's arms snaked around Shingyouji's waist pulling him closer while Shingyouji wrapped his arms around Misu's neck. Misu pulled back smiling and said "it's been a while since we kissed properly hasn't it?" Shingyouji hid his face in Misu's chest while he felt his cheeks burn. Misu pushed Shingyouji down so that he was lying down in the water. Misu opened the drain and let the water go before he lay on top of Shingyouji. Shingyouji looked over to his leg worried that it would fall off or something but Misu was careful so that Shingyouji's leg wouldn't pain.

He continued kissing Shingyouji on the lips long and hard, desperate kisses, it had been a long time since they had been intimate like this. Misu swept his tongue across Shingyouji's teeth asking for entrance which Shingyouji willingly granted him.

Misu's tongue explored Shingyouji's tongue before grabbing Shingyouji's tongue and making them dance together. Shingyouji pulled back for breath panting but Misu did not stop. He followed Shingyouji's jawline and gave him little kisses leading down to his collarbone. He bit Shingyouji on his neck which caused Shingyouji to wince in pain.

That spot on his neck instantly went red and Misu made his way down Shingyouji's body. He reached Shingyouji's nipples and began teasing them. He licked Shingyouji's stomach which caused Shingyouji to shudder out of pleasure.

Misu was going to further but then pulled back. Shingyouji looked puzzled but Misu explained "if I go any further, I'm going to cause you further pain so let's just stop here for now." Shingyouji was disappointed but accepted because right now, he couldn't stand any more pain.

Misu got out of the bath and wrapped a towel around himself. He then picked Shingyouji up and told him to lean against the sink. Shingyouji did this with immense difficulty but it had been easier than the first time. Misu would get Shingyouji to lean against walls and anything else so that Shingyouji would recover faster and get used to being on his feet.

Misu wrapped a towel around Shingyouji's thin waist and Shingyouji leant against Misu while Misu put his arm around Shingyouji's waist securely before walking to the room.

Misu put Shingyouji on the bed and handed him some clothes. Shingyouji slipped some boxers and an oversized T-shirt that was Misu's on. Putting trousers on was too much of a bother for Shingyouji and it was already night time so Shingyouji just put on some easy clothes.

Misu slipped on a T-shirt and some trousers before slipping a cd into the DVD player. He then put some pillows up and leaned on them putting his arms around Shingyouji's waist to pull him closer. Shingyouji's back leant against Misu' chest and Shingyouji was very comfortable. They sat and watched the film that Misu had borrowed from Hayama.

Halfway through the movie, Misu leant forward to look at Shingyouji's face but Shingyouji's body fell forward ever so slightly and his body was limp. Misu saw that Shingyouji was already asleep and lay him on the pillows. Misu turned off the TV and locked the door before turning off the lights and laying in the bed besides Shingyouji.

Shingyouji turned to the side mumbling "Arata-san" and grabbed Misu wrapping his arms around Misu tightly. Misu smiled and wrapped his own arms around Shingyouji before shutting his eyes.

Shingyouji woke and sat up instantly feeling dizzy. He put his hand to his head and looked to the side, the bed was empty and Misu was nowhere to be seen. Shingyouji was going to call Misu's name when he heard the door open.

It was Misu with a tray of cereal and toast, he was followed by Hayama and Gii. Hayama ran to Shingyouji and hugged him before sitting down beside him on the bed. Gii waved at Shingyouji and sat down in the chair by the bed. Misu sat on the other side of the bed and handed Shingyouji some toast.

Shingyouji took it gratefully and began to munch on it. "So how have you been Shingyouji?" asked Hayama. Shingyouji replied saying "I have been fine, I mean if it wasn't for Arata-san, I might have been dead by now". Misu instantly scolded Shingyouji saying "don't talk about your death so lightly!"

Shingyouji looked at Misu with an apologetic look and Misu squeezed his hand to let Shingyouji know that he was forgiven.

Hayama and Gii stayed for a little while more and then went because Gii said he was taking Hayama to see a movie. Shingyouji looked at them longingly wishing he could run free once more. Misu saw the look on Shingyouji's face and felt upset that his lover was sad.

2 weeks later…..
