Addicted
because you can't resist
II
White latex gloves snapped ominously with a tight slap. "Subaru, are you ready?' his spectacles shone in a menacing professional fashion. Determined green eyes glanced at him in confirmation. In between each of Subaru's fingers were various injections, grasped like a ninja to his kunais, an assistant to his sedatives. Furious blue eyes behind wire rimmed glasses narrowed as the patient nearly shredded the paper, now settling for digging his insistent nails into the burgundy leather now as he visibly shook in the anesthetic scented room. .
He hated doctors. (.1)
"You'll never take me alive!" The patient exclaimed confidently as he nosedived for the exit. Surprisingly delicate hands man handed him as familiar green eyes hardened."Oh no you don't!" Subaru said harshly as his patient sputtered in protest as one of the needles slipped into the crook of his elbow. The blue eyes grew lidded and fell into deep rest. The doctor watching the exchange groaned low in a tired whine. " We have to wait for him to get off the sedatives now." the bespectacled physician muttered. Subaru hung his head in shame. "Sumimasen Sakurazaka-sensei(1)..." he apologized disappointingly. The doctor smiled at this "Remember what I said about formalities? Call me Seishorou." The Sakurazaka explained kindly, Subaru bobbed his hand, happy he was forgiven-but clearly challenged about 'formalities' when he was never told so by his mentor.
In all honesty, Subaru had no intention of becoming a nurse or anesthetist. Rather, he worked in the first aid ward in the medical wing of the string of Hardware stores his family owned. That, and that Subaru was stuck taking his sick classmates to the first aid room, merely because he was a 'kind child,' who would be 'grateful to help anyway he can'. And he had done so graciously, until now. Until Sakurazaka Seishorou became the new nurse at Tomoeda High.
The little attention he had commanded from Seishorou from before went down his former client; Watanuki Kimihiro's school blouse. They both stared now for two entirely different reasons. For Seishorou, concentration, as if something did not feel right. Subaru, most obviously in envy. In the back of their minds, both agreed that they were attracted to Watanuki's stunning looks and vulnerability. However, both agreeing with themselves that it was attraction over preference. As if it was fixed. Rather like Hitsuzen.
At that moment, everyone's favorite doctor was unbuttoning Watanuki's shirt with deft fingers as his assistant stammered in embarrassment and blushed at his crush's ministrations " Just as I thought." the physician stated in his 'diagnosing voice'. His mouth biting into a tight line "S-Seishorou?" Subaru stuttered as Seishorou backed away to let him survey the damage. As predicted, the boy gasped in astonishment. Since Watanuki was clearly skinny it was palpable that his bones stook out prominently. The bone in his collar looked flattened beyond repair as if dealt by a strong force. Evidently, fluffy yellow bruises tinged with indigo hems bloomed along his collarbone and torso. Subaru curiously poked a bruise, Watanuki stirred. It felt like he just prodded a souffle.
"Fuuma told me what happened." Of course he would, he was Seishorou's younger brother and Subaru's fellow employee at the hardware store. The emerald eyed boy clenched his teeth at the keen announcement.
"He did this to himself." he responded rudely, an un-Subaru thing to do.
"I'm not accusing you...and I don't think he did this to himself, but rather-it." Subaru was already approaching the door by the time he was done with his theory. Seishorou looked vaguely hurt but only looked down at the very shirtless Watanuki with a dull hunger in his eyes. As usual, he spied the doctor through the corner of his eyes, glaring in his peripheral vision at his beloved. The assistant sighed when he was out of earshot, pondering his dusty reflection. What does he have that I don't?
A/N: It has been SUCH a long time since I updated! I got so busy with Hunger games and High school-and just like I promised: mainting my marks in advanced placement in English class. (Fancy for Academic level English) but I am pleased to announce I am doing well without sucking up. (If you don;t my English teacher and I being 'peeps') Ahhhhhh! And the yaoi..let's not forget this summer's shounen-ai! The bar has raised and I am sure to step it up if I so humbly can. Sorry for a rant! Scroll below for meanings.
(.1) He hated doctors: remember chapter one about the yellow card and tetanus pun? You can see why our darling Kimihiro knows no better.
