Part 3
A week had passed since the first time he had woken up. Every time he was awake Fei Long was there. The man helped him with his medicine but that was it. Even if he lay awake for some time the Baishe leader continued to read his book.
He was getting tired of this stretching silence between them. He knew Fei Long had a lot of questions for him and right now he thought it would be better to answer them then sit in silence any longer.
Normally, he wouldn't mind the silence but this time it was different. Also he had the feeling that he was being watched the whole time. He often wondered why Fei Long was there, sitting next to his bed. The Baishe leader had more important things to do, right?
He sighed and turned his head to look at Fei Long. It seemed the other man was completely absorbed into the book he was reading. He opened his mouth to say something when Fei Long looked up from his book. ''What?''
''Let's just get this over with, okay? I know you are waiting until you can ask everything you want. So let's start.'' He said to the man who was now staring at him with surprise in his eyes. It seemed Fei Long hadn't expected that answer to come from his mouth.
Fei Long shook his head, while still looking at him. He saw how the long black hair fell over the right eye of the man before being set back in place by an elegant hand.
While he was awake he had chosen to follow every movement the man made. He knew that Fei Long knew this but still the man didn't sow that he was affected by it. Also the man had never said anything about it. He took that as a sign that it was okay.
His attention was brought back to the present when Fei Long started talking again. ''Who says I'm here only to question you?'' The man asked.
He chuckled, ''It's odd, isn't it? For someone as you to sit by my bedside almost the whole day, just reading. Don't you have more important things to take care of?'' He simply answered. ''After all, you are a leader of a large group.'' He continued.
He waited for the man to answer him but Fei Long didn't. Instead he stood up before laying his book on the small bedside table. Then he looked at him. ''Maybe I have other things to do but it isn't your business, Yoh.''
He watched as Fei Long walked to the door with long but beautiful strides. Before the man disappeared through the door, he turned around. ''The next time you are awake I will question you. I expect that you answer every one of them. Just like you wanted to.'' Fei Long said before he was gone.
He was left staring at the door where Fei Long had just disappeared through. He sighed and shook his head. It seemed like he had said something wrong. But he had really thought that the only reason for the Baishe leader to sit constantly at his bedside was because he wanted answers. But apparently he had been very wrong about that. Now he started wondering what other reasons Fei Long had.
He wanted to know why he suddenly had all of Fei Longs attention. Because when he was still working for the man all he ever got was a nod. Nothing more.
Then he had wished for the attention and time the man was giving him now. After he had disappeared he also had given up on ever being in the same room or even talking to Fei Long. But now he had done those things.
The only thing he wasn't sure of how to get and what to say. It seemed that every time he said something, Fei Long got mad.
Not mad like he had seen the Baishe leader before but still mad. A different one. A kind of mad he hadn't seen from the man earlier.
Then he stopped. He had seen this kind of mad before. Only then it was directed at someone else. To the little boy Fei Long was so fond of, Tao. Yeah, when Fei Long was mad at the little boy it was different because Tao was someone the Baishe leader cared for.
So what did it mean? It wasn't like Fei Long cared about him. He knew that very well. If he is honest then he thinks the man hates him. Especially after he told the man his feelings.
He tried to stay awake to wait for the return of Fei Long but in the end he fell asleep again.
It was much later when he awoke again. This time he didn't know if Fei Long would be sitting at his bedside like he had been doing for the last couple of days.
He opened his eyes, hoping that the man was indeed sitting next to his bed, reading his book. Then he could answer the questions the long haired man has for him. And maybe find out why the man was behaving like this.
He looked around the room to see that he was all alone in the large room. That, he thought, was something unusual. Every time he would wake up from a fitful sleep, Fei Long would be there to give him his painkillers. Maybe something had happened while he had been asleep?
He sighed, now that he was awake and the other man wasn't there to help him with his medicine, he had to do it himself. That could be harder then he wanted it to be, remembering the first time he had tried to sit up on his own.
But he had to do it one way or another. Eyeing the two painkillers on the small table next to his bed, he tried to slowly sit up. After trying for some time, he finally managed to sit up a little, causing as little pain as he could.
With his right hand he grabbed one of the painkillers and laid it on his tongue before grabbing the class of water and taking a gulp. Placing the glass back on the table he took the second painkiller and quickly repeated the same action as before.
Slowly he laid back into the soft pillows. He sighed when he finally was lying comfortable again. Taking his medicine had taken more energy than he would have thought. He also noticed that there was sweat gathering on his forehead. He softly cursed; it would take a long time before he would be completely recovered from the incident.
Maybe it was good that he had some time to recover. Then he could also think about what he was going to do after he was completely healed. Maybe it was time to really disappear like he had wanted from the start. Then no one would have to worry about him anymore. It wasn't like he still had a life that he could live here. Also it wouldn't really be a life if he couldn't do the things he wanted to or be with the people he wanted to be with.
He continued thinking about this for some time before he got too tired to think about it anymore. He decided to go back to sleep and see if the next time he awoke; Fei Long would be there to question him.
He was drenched in sweat when he awoke. He gasped at the pain in his chest. Something was wrong, but that was as far as his thoughts would go. He could hear someone speaking to him, but he couldn't hear what they were saying. He wanted nothing more than for the pain to disappear and let him rest.
Not much later he could feel that someone was touching him but a moment later he gave up fighting the pain and all went black again.
He kept slipping in and out of horrible nightmares, making him only more tired. Every time he was awake, he could hear someone talking to him.
The voice that was whispering things to him was gentle and reassuring. Every time he tried to move or even tried to open his eyes he fell back into the darkness.
