Sorry for the long wait, this chapter was KILLING me...
"Noooo! I don't wanna go in there! Don't make me!" Otoya cried out at the sight of the infirmary doors.
"All your desires are rejected." Tokiya said flatly as he pushed open the doors.
"Thanks." Reiji said with a grin, his grip on his half-panicking junior tighter than ever, "It's okay, Otoyan, Sempai and Toki will be with you, nothing's gonna happen."
"I really don't think this is a good idea…" The red haired boy whimpered, he tried his best to get off his senior but the older man was relentless.
"All your opinions are rejected." Tokiya said and flicked the younger boy's forehead, "The faster you go in, the faster you can come out."
"I hate you all." Otoya said murderously.
"What a terrible illness! It's making my little Otoyan sound so evil!"
"Oh my, Otoya-kun, what happened?" asked as she examined the boy in question, the red head was sitting on one of the white infirmary beds with Tokiya and Reiji on either side of him to keep him from bolting.
Not that he would get far in his current condition, Tokiya thought in somewhat satisfaction.
"I got wet in the rain." Otoya mumbled, he eyed wearily as she took out a thermometer.
"Aah, that's not good, dear. Okay open your mouth." She brought the thermometer closer but the red haired boy kept his mouth closed.
"Otoya…" Tokiya muttered and poked his side.
"Ow-" Otoya's cry of pain was muffled by the thermometer being put in.
After a minute the doctor pulled it out and looked at the reading, "102.4." She stated.
"That high?" Reiji exclaimed and hugged Otoya, causing the latter to gasp and struggle for breath. "My poor little Otoyan, suffering all because of me!"
Tokiya let out an exasperated sigh and turned to , "So, sensei, are you going to give him anything to take?"
"Are you worried, dear?" She asked with a smile.
The dark-haired boy blushed, "It's not like that or anything…"
Ameya smiled, "It's okay, it's perfectly normal to be worried about your friend." She reached out and patted his head, "Otoya-kun will be fine if he rests well for a week." She reached out into her drawers and pulled out a few paper bags, "Here, make sure he takes these every day."
"Thank you, I'll make sure he does." Tokiya bowed and turned to his roommates, "Exactly how long are you two planning on fooling around there?"
"Shining! Good morning!" Ringo sang as he made his way into the head masters room, "Hmm, he's not here?" He wondered aloud at the sight of the vacant room.
"Fufufu…"
The sound of laughter could be heard from above and Ringo cast a glance to the ceiling, spotting the Headmaster hanging there, "Shining…" The pink haired teacher began in an exasperated tone, "Why don't you get down here and listen to what I have to say?"
Shining Saotame grinned widely as he landed on his desk with ease, " , I assume you are here to tell me about 's illness, isn't that so?"
Ringo clapped, "Exactly!" He exclaimed brightly, "I think it's the perfect opportunity, don't you?"
"Hmmm… !" The headmaster boomed making the other male jump slightly, "Tell me more!"
Ringo smiled and twiddled with a lock of his hair, "It's the perfect time to tell him don't you think? Since he's unwell, I think he'll be more compliant and take what you have to say better! Or…" Here the pink haired man paused for effect, "It would just shock him and make his condition worsen, personally I think it's a fifty-fifty chance!"
"HMMM!" Shining exhaled louder than ever, "That sounds like…" He stopped there.
"Sounds like?" Ringo urged him to continue.
"A PLAN!" The headmaster threw his hands up and began laughing somewhat villainously, "This evening we shall march into Mr. Ittoki's room!"
"He looks so peaceful asleep." Reiji said with a grin regarding his junior. He chuckled lightly, resisting the temptation to reach out and ruffle the red-haired youth's hair fearing that the touch would wake him.
"I guess so." Tokiya shrugged with a half-smile, he turned back to the book he was memorizing lyrics from.
A few minutes of silence passed.
"Hey Toki…"
"Hm?"
"Nah, it's nothing."
A few more minutes passed.
"Toki…"
"Hm?"
"I'm bored."
With an irritated sigh, Tokiya slammed his book close, "So what do you want me to do about it?"
"Play with me!" Reiji whined.
A vein bulged in the younger male's forehead, "I'm busy." He replied shortly.
"So heartless…" His senior intoned in a hollow voice, one hand clutching his chest and the other wiping away imaginary tears from the corners of his eyes, "Sob… I love him so much…yet…yet he does not even glance my way in the slightest! Sob! Sob! Wail!"
Tokiya grimaced and tried ignoring him, but his senior's voice was…relentless, for lack of a better word, on his ear drums.
"Sobbeth! Sobbeth! Dost thou not careth for I?"
"Oh, shut up, won't you?"
Otoya tossed and turned in his bed, the loud arguing of his roommates managing to even get past his slumber. Finally unable to ignore it any longer he opened his eyes… and blinked immediately.
"This isn't…my room…right?" He voiced to no one in particular and looked around in confusion, taking in the green fields, vividly blue sky, the red and yellow flowers, the two people in the distance who resembled his roommates…his eyes bulged in shock when he saw them.
"But this isn't my room so why…?"
To say the red haired boy was confused was an understatement, He scratched his head and half walked half stumbled towards them. He stopped a few meters short of them and his jaw dropped. Reiji was wearing a dress, a long one.
He closed his eyes and rubbed them. Reiji was still wearing a dress.
He slapped himself on the cheek. Reiji was still wearing a dress.
"Reiji-sempai…" Otoya asked dazedly, "What's going on?"
His roommates either ignored him or didn't hear him at all, they seemed to be engaged in their dispute.
"-I am busy." Tokiya said shortly shrugging of the hold Reiji had on his sleeve.
"How could thou? I love thee so much yet…yet…" The man collapsed to his knees and tears began to flow down his cheeks, he looked up and gripped the back of the younger male's shirt, "Dost thou not careth for I?" He cried.
Tokiya sighed in resignation and gently pried off Reiji's hands while turning around. He knelt down in in front of the man, sighed once again and took his face in his hands.
"How could thou say as such?" He whispered softly, and began bringing his face closer.
Watching this, Otoya, who had been rendered speechless found his voice again.
"T-Tokiya! W-what are you guys doing? Stop!" He yelled frantically, desperately running towards them. All too suddenly the ground below his feet began to crack open.
"W-What? What's going-aaaaaargh!" He screamed as he was plunged into an abyss.
"-Up, Otoya! Wake up!" Tokiya was shaking the screaming boy awake.
Otoya opened his eyes and blinked, "Wah! Tokiya, Help! I'm falling! I'm falling!"
The dark haired boy gave his friend a sharp shake, "Snap out of it! It was a dream!"
Otoya drew in a shaky breath and smiled warily, "A dream…that's good…"
"What happened in it?" Reiji asked slightly curious, he attempted to gently push Otoya back to his pillows but the red head backed away warily, "Otoyan…?" He voiced in confusion.
"No…er…it's just um…Reiji-sempai…you and Tokiya were…were…" Otoya blushed furiously causing his already fever flushed face to turn an alarming shade of red.
"Were?" Tokiya prompted, he had a vague feeling about where the dream was heading.
"Were…were…GONNA KISS!" The younger male blurted out and fell back to his pillows feeling exhausted and worse than ever.
"Eh?" Tokiya and Reiji said simultaneously.
Suddenly Reiji burst out laughing, "Oh boy Toki, do you think our little argument poked at Otoyan's subconscious?"
Tokiya struggled to keep a straight face, "Stop laughing, he's sick, we're making too much noise."
"You guys are so mean to me." Otoya said with a pout and turned away from them.
Meanwhile, outside the room, in the corridor, in a secret passageway (or something along those lines) two people hid whilst listening to the chaos inside aforementioned room.
"Fufufu, , the time has come…"
"You got that right Shining! Prepare yourself Otoya-kun!"
So I think everyone's already guessed what Shining's gonna tell Otoya...
So how's he gonna take it?
Will he be happy? Hurt? Sad? Mixed feelings?
You guys get to decide in the reviews!
Bye!
