Don't fight for me
"You-"Nitori sucked in a breathe, desperately trying to calm his voice. "-saved me?" He questioned. The room's mood noticeably turned dark as the one named Makoto softly padded over to his hospital bed.
He raised his hand, placing it softly on the small bruised boys head. "We didn't really save you, now did we?" Although this male was large and seemingly steady, his voice wavered as his eyes began to tear, lightly ruffling his hair. A large hand found it's way onto the tall boy's shoulder and squeezed gently. "Makoto. If you hadn't have gotten there he could've been dead. That's worse than some cuts and bruises." The redhead diligently spoke with a sharp determined look in his eyes.
Nitori heard a grunt of confirmation from the pale man still leaning against the wall, although his eyes held the silver haired boy's.
The room was quiet until a soft sigh from the obsidian haired male broke the silence, followed by the shuffling of feet from the tan one. "Yeah, you're right Haru we should probably leave them to talk stuff out." This utterly baffled the young boy. He can tell all that from a…sigh? They must be really close… at this his eyes only widened slightly as the two began leaving the room. The shorter of the two delicately intertwining their fingers together, as they made their exit.
"Ai." A rough voice awoke him from his dreamy state as he immediately turned his head, accidentally sparking pain into his neck and through his still pounding mind.
Noticing this, Rin bit his lip and shut his eyes as he began to walk towards the front of the room. "Get some rest. We can talk about this tomorrow." Slightly hazy blue eyes shot open, he ignored the tears forming in his eyes at the action.
"No! Please don't go! Stay with me!" salty tears fell from his eyes and rolled down his cheeks as he let a sob rack his body for a moment as he collapsed into himself. Arms laying limp at his sides. Eyes blown wide as he watched the boy tear apart, Rin couldn't bring himself to move. He waited until the boy's muffled sobs became desperate whimpers to speak
"I just need to reassure the captain and the rest of the team that your ok, just a quick phone call, I promise I'll be right back." He calmly whispered, as he saw the smaller boy relax and slump against the bed. Rin tore his head away from the sight of a beaten and battered Nitori, with his spirit broken.
The short boy listened to the sound of rin's steps go down the hall before disappearing entirely. He finally let a low groan of pain erupt from him, he let everything he had been feeling drain out of him as he closed his eyes. He concentrated on trying to breathe normally, but it was pointless. Every time he drew in air he felt a dull nagging pain in his chest. Slowly, he let himself begin to dream of a better scenario than lying, hurt in a hospital. This dream was a rather pleasant change as it featured his Senpai confessing that he had loved Nitori for a long time and couldn't hold his feelings in any longer. He felt his aching body numb a bit as he drifted off into a heavy slumber.
Rin entered the room, tucking away his phone into his pocket and sighing lightly. The captain had been worried, or rather frantic, about the young member and didn't let Rin spare any details. Fucking stupid. Just because he has a crush on Nitori he acts all panicked. Rin felt himself become agitated. Well half the team has a freaking crush on him. He scowled as he thought about any of his fellow member's making a move on Nitori, or really, Nitori actually dating one of them. He took a deep breath before opening the door the rest of the way, willing his feral look to go away.
He stepped into the bright room and started toward the hospital bed without purpose. Before he knew what was happening he was sitting in a chair right beside the boy, watching intently as he slept. He may have been scraped and bruised, but that didn't make him any less beautiful. His long eyelashes fell upon his pale cheeks. Gleaming silver hair sweeping across the expanse of his face. Framing it elegantly. As rin gazed at the boy, he almost lost himself in a world where Nitori was ok and none of this had happened. He could still feel the emotions that had welled up in him at Makoto's urgent call. The icy chill he felt prick his body when he learnt he had been drug away and beaten. That he wasn't in the best of shape, that he had fell unconscious barely breathing, that he had asked for Rin.
The redhead felt his eyes slowly shut as his head fell into a dizzying pounding.
"Senpai would you uh...like to go to the store with me?" A soft stuttered voice spread throughout their shared room. A large hand waved the question away as Rin turned roughly facing the wall. "You can do that yourself cant you?" The shark sleepily replied.
He had been training even more lately and he couldn't find the time he'd like for the young man. He admitted that he really missed his conversations with Nitori, but he couldn't find the energy to get up. The grey-haired boy simply nodded in response as he headed towards the door, but not before Rin had caught the sigh escape his lips. Groggily sitting up, he was about to join the boy before he noticed the time. 11:23 pm. Had he really let the boy go out this late? What did he need at the store at this hour?
Rin didn't know what had happened next. He had zoned out and before he knew it an hour had passed before he got the deafening call.
Rin groggily woke up in a dark, dark room, filled with an unpleasant sterile scent that harassed his nose. His clouded ruby eyes slowly blinked open as he stretched his limbs out. Realizing that sleeping in a hospital chair was not the most comfortable thing in the world. Suddenly his gaze caught a flash of blue when e stood. Nitori was looking straight at him, with a look of awe plastered on his face.
"Shouldn't you still be resting?" Rin yawned as he checked the clock high on the wall. It was only 7am and the boy surely had to be tired.
The taller teen was startled when he heard a soft laugh rise from the seemingly happy young male staring at him fondly, "But Senpai I wouldn't be able to see how cute you are when you sleep if I was still sleeping." A slightly higher voice than usual giggled.
"What are you saying idiot!?" Rin sputtered, averting his gaze. What the hell has gotten into him?
More giggles were heard from the small boy as he leaned up with gradual ease. "Heehee I'm just telling you the truth seeenpai." He slurred dragging his words out suspiciously. "Oh! The doctor did give me lots of things that he said would help me! Maybe that's…" He closed his eyes and his head lulled to the side. "Why I feel so great. Just like I do whenever I'm with you Senpai…" Soon after he was peacefully snoring away.
The older boy was sure he had never been more flustered in his life. Positive. He slowly made his way to the bed were the boy was once again resting. Rin placed his hand softly on the bed near the boy's pale face.
I wonder what sejirou would say about this situation…he pondered as he leaned closer, inspecting the young male thoroughly, lips mere inches away from his face. Of course he couldn't help but close the gap between them. Connecting in a way rin had only ever dreamed would be real. Trying his best not to wake the boy he pressed a stroked a small cut on his cheek.
Now even if he chooses one of the other guys, ill always be his first kiss. Rin smugly smiled into the loving kiss, as he heard the door open and eyes flutter. Before he knew what was happening he was staring into wide blue eyes swimming with feelings as the doctor that had entered the room cleared his throat bashfully.
"E-excuse me, but I need to have a word with you, ah ." He pushed his thick black glasses onto his face in a motion that reminded him of a certain –l doctor.\
Nitori may have been in a slight dazed from all of the medication the doctor had given him, but he registered the feeling of lips on his, he had gazed into dark red eyes. He knew Rin had kissed him.
Does he like me? His heartbeat sped up as he wished and hoped that was the case, but reason took over. He was probably pretending, to fool that doctor.
He immediately felt sullen at the explanation, even though he couldn't get over the sensation of Rin's hand on his face and mouths connecting. He began to wish he would never leave the hospital so Rin could pretend to be in love with him forever. All he really wanted was for the tall redheaded swimmer to reconcile his feelings.
As if someone had heard his silent plea and decided to doom him rin entered the room, Speaking with as much courage as he could muster at the time. "I'm taking you home tomorrow."
Well, that sure is great. The grey haired boy grunted in acceptance as he once again closed his eyes, desperately trying to dream about the moment with his Senpai that would never occur again.
