Mr. Sunshine and Mr. Kyon Part 7
"…."
I blink. Shock that I'm alive is all I can process right now. I'm alive? But it's all dark.
"Oh good, your awake." Koizumi says. He's sitting next to me, we're leaning against a wall of black. He's holding his shoulder.
"Are you ok?" I ask, turning towards him he slides into me, a line of sweat on his brow.
"I hurt my shoulder when we fell into this empty space. Are you ok Kyon?" he asks, which is ridiculous because I'm not the one bleeding. I stare at him for a moment and then grab my sleeve, I rip it of yank on it hard enough to make it long enough to wrap around his arm. "Let me see that." I say.
He forces a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry about me. I'll take care of it when we get out of here." He says.
"How exactly do we get out of here?" I ask.
"I don't know, but this isn't a normal empty space, and right now I don't think I can get us out of here."
"Then let me see your arm," I say, he hesitantly hands me his arm and I lift his sleeve, a long gash about two or three inches runs across his upper arm. He winces as I tie it up.
He leans against me as we just sit there in the dark. Nothing to do, we can't leave unless Koizumi can magically pull us out, or if some other Esper comes in maybe he could pull us out. But right now that's doubtful so we just sit here in silence.
Koizumi breaths heavily, he doesn't look so good right now, his face getting paler the longer we're here.
"Hey Koizumi, hang in there, we'll get out of here soon enough." I say, trying to sound like I know what I'm doing, but I'm no Esper, I'm just a normal human.
"Right," he breaths. "Kyon… I'm sorry."
"What?" I look at him.
"I dragged you into this, if I hadn't kissed you, or made you come here with me, maybe this wouldn't have happened."
I sigh, "Your talking nonsense," I say.
"No really." He says, looking up at me, "this is my fault. I'm sorry." He says.
"Relax Itsuki, we can't get out of here if you don't rest, and right now I'm going to be nice." I slip my arm behind his head and angle myself a little so I'm comfortable. This is the last thing I'd want to be doing, stuck in a hole like this with him, but it seems like the right thing to do.
Koizumi's silent for a moment. "Hey Kyon?"
"Be quiet, you need to rest."
"I had fun. Even if only the last few times. I'm sorry for kissing you. But…" his eyes are closed, but I still try not to look at him, my face starting to feel warm. "I like you, so…it was worth it."
This guy… he's driving me nuts. First he's cocky and calculating how he can do all this and now he apologizes? That's not right.
"It's fine, I… I don't mind." I say. Looking down he's breathing quietly. Is he sleeping? Something like anger rises in me, but this is what I told him to do. Sighing loudly, I look up, nothing but black all around us. "This has to be the worst date ever Itsuki," I start. Then think for a moment, "How are you gonna make it up to me, idiot."
-0-0-
When I open my eyes I'm in my room. What? This is my ceiling, my walls, my room and bed. How did I get here? Where's Koizumi?
I get up and leave my room, looking around briefly to make sure I'm not dreaming. Down the stairs I can hear Imouto cheering along with the TV. Slipping silently down the steps I peek into the living room.
It's just here. I sigh, almost relieved, but then I start thinking, what exactly was I expecting? For him to be here?
"Oh, Kyon, your awake." Imouto says, she gets up. "Itsuki brought you back here last night and said to tell you he's sorry and that he won't bother you again…what happened?" she asked.
"Nothing," I say, messing her hair and going to the kitchen. Was it nothing?
