A/N: Yaho!~ I'm here to pester you with my story once again! Soulhearts, Thanks for the review. Don't worry, dear I took no offense. On the contrary, I'm very much thankful to your positive critic on my humble story. Xxobsessive , you have my sincerest gratitude for reviewing my story! And last but never the least, Animebaconlover thanks for coming back to my story! Wahaha I hope this chapter does not disappoint any of you.
It amazes me how many of my friends compare me to Hiroki though if you ask me I think I'm more like Shinobu but no, my friends, even my boyfriend (god knows why he knows Hiroki *evil laugh*) told me otherwise. Oh well, but I guess being a Hiroki fan has its perks (?)! Enough of my ramblings and here goes the next chapter~
Chapter IV
Nowaki rushed to the hospital thinking of the worse. He was surprised to see Hiroki sitting on a nearby bench with Miyagi. His jealous streak was showing its yellow putrid eyes seeing the older man with his lover.
"Hiro-san! What happened? I was afraid getting that call!" Nowaki panted as he reached the brown haired professor.
"He is alright. A little shaken, but thankfully just bruised. Other than that, he can go home." Miyagi chanted with a sigh. "I can't say the same for the other guy. Aside from a broken rib, he has a concussion and a swollen face."
"What?" Nowaki can't hide his surprise. Hiro-san never engage in a brawl, as in NEVER.
"The guy tried to force himself to a very drunk Kamijou here." Miyagi placed a hand to Kamijou's shaking shoulder and Nowaki can't hide the flinch. Friend or not, the darker haired man has no rights touching his Hiro-san.
"Now, gentleman. Since your ride home his here, Kamijou, I'll be going home." Miyagi was about to take his leave when Hiroki grabbed the hem of his shirt.
"Please, Miyagi-kyoju.. can.. can you call.. Can you call Akihiko Usami?" Hiroki said brokenly.
"Hiro-san, I'll take you home." Nowaki's heart broke with how little Hiro-san's voice was and the meaning behind those words. He knew that all this was his fault and Hiro-san's insecurity is deeply rooted and all he did these past few days was to dig it up and slap it to the already unstable professor.
"Please, kyouju.. Please.." Hiroki can't even look at Nowaki. He knew he will just burst out of tears if he does. What more if he is going to drive him home? All Hiroki knew in Tokyo that won't rat him out to his parents is Akihiko, no matter how humiliating it is to ask the author for any favors he does not have enough options. He knew that if he goes home to their (Nowaki's and his) apartment he won't be able to move on. He has to get away from Nowaki and their home if there is any chance for him to recover.
"Alright, give me the number and I'll call him from the nurse's station. Will you be okay here?" Miyagi shook his head. As much as he wanted for the couple to talk and patch things up, this is not the right time for Hiroki. The man had enough adventure in this night. Adding to the mental and emotional trauma of a near rape in the man's restroom in the bar and the recent break-up did a fine number on the fragile associate professor.
Hiroki just nodded his head then kept his head down without even looking at the shocked face of hi ex-lover. Nowaki's expression went from shocked to angry to disappointed.
Miyagi left the two and went to the nurses' station to place a call. He has to explain the entire situation to Usami – sensei and place the younger professor on a Leave of Absence to sort things out. No matter how the students' perception of Kamijou being the devil, fact remains that he is just a man – a very troubled man because of his meddling. Something that he never knew the younger doctor would do considering the devotion Kusama has shown over Kamijou. To break-up with his lover simply because of a suggestion from him had the older man puzzled as well. Maybe, things happen for the best.
Akihiko was having a fine afternoon pestering a flustered Misaki.
"Teme.. Usagi, the phone!" Misaki whined as he tried to escape from the author's grasp.
Akihiko is a bit puzzled considering that the manuscript for this month has already been passed and he has no deadlines that he think he missed.
'Surely that isn't Takahiro'. The oblivious brother of his lover has come to terms with their relationship though it was an arduous and painful battle on explaining to him the nature of his relationship with Misaki. Thank God Manami is not as clueless as Takahiro and helped the both of them to get to Takahiro's good side once again. Takahiro just called yesterday and knowing the man, he won't call anytime soon. 'It can't be Hiroki since the last time I talked with him, he was on cloud nine. That giant of his is keeping him in check. And as for anyone from the Usamis, nah.. that is a long shot… Unless someone died or something but surely Kaoruko would have mentioned that in her latest letter to Misaki. I wonder..' He picked up the phone without letting go of his lover. Misaki knew better than to struggle – if he does, it would be noisy and who knows what the other person thinks of what they are doing; if he manages to escape – Usagi will hang up and chased after him- both is not a good option.
The look in Usagi's face means that it was a serious matter and he knew that it is not a good news that his lover is receiving. Misaki chose to be quiet.
"Misaki… dress up. We are going somewhere."
Misaki knew better than to argue with the man.
AN: So yeah, Hiroki is alright, maybe not so alright but he is okay. Oh well, I'm making a blunder on myself here. Wahahaha And a heads-up, I might not be able to give the next chapter on time next week coz it's my sister's birthday and yeah I'm going to travel somewhere and God knows if I can have a decent connection on that place and I'm too lazy to encode the story using a tablet since the laptop won't go with me on my trip. I'm a bit of an old-school folk and I like placing my ideas on paper and no one can decode my notes (T.T) so yeah, I have to be the one to encode them to make some sense to it. Before I leave, I might post another story for Gundam Wing A/C, it's the anime which started everything for me and my favorite couple is there as well so yeah.. You might want to check on it as well if you have the time. I'm promoting myself and I'll end it here so yeah! Bye!~~~
