A/N: Greetings to all you readers and reviewers out there. Here is chapter 4 of Crying Confessions delivered hot off the press as request lol. I do hope this chapter is satisfactory. And I apologize if the length isn't. I am doing my best thanks to a small case of writer's block that has lodged itself in my brain. Also I had my birthday the other day so I was a tad distracted by that as well lol. Well enjoy chapter 4.
Chapter 4: Undeserved Treatment and Deserved Punishment
Gii sat up from his bed when he heard the door to his room open. Akaike stood there with a very concerned expression on his face. Just an hour previous the school nurse and instructed the third floor dorm-head to go back to his room and get some shut -eye. He wasn't being of any help moping outside the infirmary. Knowing better than to argue Gii had reluctantly returned to his room but was unable to shake the thought of Takumi being hurt. He clutched his pillow tightly both in anger and frustration.
Akaike had never seen his best friend this upset before and it worried him greatly. "I couldn't sleep and from what I can tell neither can you." He took a seat on the edge of Gii's bed. "Did the nurse tell you anything?"
Gii looked over and shook his head. "All she said was Takumi was sleeping. So I'm hoping that means he's going to be okay." He hoisted himself up so his back was propped up against his pillows. "Oh did you ever find out who that good-for-nothing first year was?"
Akaike nodded, "Mitsarou Kazunori. I have never heard of anyone more arrogant."
"Mitsarou Kazunori? Why does that name sound so familiar?" Gii asked sitting up all the way this time.
"He's the Great Grandson of Shidou Koichi. He was the one who franchised our school." Akaike explained. "No wonder he's been so confident in himself."
Gii's grip on his pillow tightened even more. "His confidence is going to be his downfall. What did the headmaster say?"
"Well Mistarou-kun is suspended for a week. He's being sent home." Akaike answered. "A week from now you're due back in America to meet your 'fiancé' right?"
Gii outwardly cringed then groaned. "I still have to tell Takumi about that!" He leaned forward resting his head in his hands. "Can this night get any better?"
Akaike placed a hand on his best friend's shoulder. "Give him some time to rest up then tell him. If I were you I'd tell him as soon as you can though. I'm sure he'll understand." He let out a faint yawn. "I'd better get back to my room. Tanake didn't even realize I left." He gave Gii a one-armed hug. "Try to get some sleep Gii." With that he walked out the door.
Gii reached over and turned off his alarm nearly knocking the annoying device off his bedside table. He had only slept for quite literally 3 hours but he was grateful it was Sunday; the one-day he could freely relax. With that he covered his head with his pillow. But the minute everything that had happened came back to him he sat up fast. "Takumi!" Kicking off the covers and quickly pulled on his uniform; straightening his hair quick before running to room number 270. He quietly knocked on the door and waited for a moment before opening it. He saw Misu Arata sitting up in bed. He had obviously just aroused from his sleep. "Ohayou Misu." Gii greeted after entering the room.
"If you're looking for Hayama he never returned from the infirmary last night." Arata said standing up.
Gii nodded. "It was obvious considered his bed is untouched. Thank you. I'll be sure to give him your regards if he is awake." He left the room not knowing how Misu would act around him considering their history together. Just as he shut the door another door shut at the exact moment and Gii looked up to see Takabayashi standing there.
"Gii! Misu-kun informed me about Hayama. Have you heard anything? Is he all right?" Takabayashi wasted no time in getting the details.
Gii looked At Takabayashi with a grave expression. "I have no knowledge on Takumi's condition. I haven't seen him since I took him to the infirmary yesterday. In fact I was on my way there to see how he is. If you like I will inform you and Akaike first hand."
Takabayashi weakly smiled. "Please do thank you Gii." With that he headed down the stairs no doubt to get a coffee.
Gii headed in the direction of the infirmary stopping dead in his tracks when something occurred to him. He had seen the name Mitsarou somewhere else and had spent most of the morning trying to figure out where. Then it hit him. Mitsarou Kazunori was on his register for his floor. He was in room 305 with Kirihondo Takashi. As he neared the infirmary he made a mental note to speak to Kiriohondo-kun. He had to find out what Mitsarou's deal was.
Pushing that aside Gii knocked on the door to infirmary. After a moment he opened the door to find Takumi lying in one of the beds. He looked much better then he had when he was first brought in here.
"Ah Saki-kun I figured we would see you soon enough. Young Hayama has been asking for you." The nurse spoke walking over the Takumi's bed. "Well as you can see he is looking a lot better. He did suffer a minor concussion and a few other minor injuries. Mostly I believe he was just frightened. He'll be glad to see you."
Gii faintly smiled. "Yes much better." He took a seat on the edge of Takumi's bed and placed a hand on his fiance's shoulder. "Takumi?"
Takumi looked at Gii then looked away. "Gii please don't look at me. I -I don't even deserve to be in your presence." He shrugged Gii's hand off his shoulder as he turned so his back was facing them.
Gii was taken aback by his fiancé's choice of words. He had been worried sick that Takumi had been seriously injured, but hearing Takumi say that was like a kick in the teeth. He had never heard Takumi speak like that before and it scared him deeply. "How can you say that Takumi." He gently took a hold of Takumi's left hand showing off the engagement ring. "If my words don't make you believe then this symbol of my love for you should. You of all people have no right to say something like that. I consider those words 'taboo'. I never want to hear you say those words or even thought of those words again. Do you understand me?"
Takumi's eyes widened. He had never heard Gii speak like that. Now he didn't know what to do. After a moment his eyes spilled over with tears. "Gomen Gii." He sniffled looking away only to have his chin cupped by Gii's warm soothing hand. "Gii?"
Gii said nothing as he leaned in and pressed his lips to Takumi's in a soothing kiss. "No Takumi I'm sorry. I shouldn't have raised my voice like that, especially what you had to endure yesterday." He pulled Takumi closer. "I just hate it when you say things like that."
Without thinking Takumi flung himself into Gii's arms now sobbing freely. "I was so scared when Mitsarou-"
Gii held Takumi closer and kissed his forehead. "Don't worry. Akaike took care of him for the moment. I promise he won't bother you again. And if he does he'll answer to me personally."
Takumi buried his face in Gii's chest for few moments before looking up now with curiosity written on his features. "Oh Gii why did you want to see me yesterday?"
Gii visibly winced. For a few precious moments he had forgotten about that. Now he knew he would have to explain everything. "Takumi there's something I need to tell you and trust me when I say this will not be easy for me to explain." He looked around the infirmary. "But not here okay please I need to be alone with you; completely alone."
"Hayama-kun needs his rest. Saki-kun you are free to return in a few hours and may escort Hayama-kun back to his room if Hayama-kun wishes it so." The nurse said stepping back into the room just seconds later.
Gii only nodded politely giving Takumi one last hug and a gentle kiss on the forehead. "I'll see you again soon Takumi. Rest well." With that he stepped out of the room and leaned back against the door. Takumi was okay that had been his main concern. Now he had to tell the others. No hesitation entered his mind as he headed towards Akaike's room. Hopefully the head of the student council was still there. Once he got there he knocked on the door then let himself in only to find the room empty. There was only one other place Akaike might be and he headed there wondering if he would run into Takabayashi on the way.
Sure enough Akaike was at the picnic tables reading, something he seemed to enjoy doing, especially on Sundays. But not even the collected works of another famous author was enough to keep Gii's best friend completely distracted from the outside world.
Akaike looked up from his book the minute he heard Gii's very footsteps coming up from the back road. "Did you find anything out?"
Gii sat down next to his best friend and took a moment to catch his breath. "Yes Takumi is well. No major damage according to the nurse; nothing physically anyway…"
Akaike immediately caught Gii trailing off and he looked up at him concerned. "Gii?"
Gii leaned forward resting his head in his hands. "Mitsarou scared him; severely. Takumi claimed to believe he didn't deserve to even be in my presence. I couldn't believe it when he said that. I just couldn't."
Akaike nodded in understanding then his mind came across something. "Oh did you tell Hayama about."
Gii shook his head cutting the other off. "Not yet and I'm not looking forward to it either. Mitsarou nearly broke Takumi. I can't help but fear that hearing this will finish the job."
A/N: Well there you have it. Next chapter will contain Gii's explanation and a discussion with Kirihondo. I hope you all enjoyed and remember 3 reviews= chapter 5!
