"Shion!" I yelled, running over to the heap on the floor.
What was wrong? He was still shaking uncontrollably. I turned him so I could see his face.
"Ca-cab.. net." The white haired mumbled.
"Cabinet?"
He nodded his head.
"What do you want in there?" I asked frantically. Shion grabbed my arm, trying to sit up.
"Med- N.. Pen."
His shaking had slowed a little bit but I noticed that the scar running around his body had turned a dark red, almost purple. Was he dying? No, he couldn't.
I nodded my head, understanding.
"Ok." And ran to the bathroom.
The medicine cabinet in there was full of stuff. What did he want me to get? I partially tore through everything till I found some kind of epipen near the back. On the label Shion's name was written with directions to only use if needed. There was dust all over it and a date written that was from back when he would of been a baby. This had to be what he wanted.
I ran back to Shion. He was still on the floor shaking terribly. I had never seen a seizure but was that what was happening to him?
I turned his head to face me and laid him in my lap.
"Shion, this is what you wanted right?"
He faintly nodded and I immediately uncapped it and stabbed it into his thigh.
Would this work?
"Shion, please."
I was on the ground holding Shion in my arms. His eyes were closed tight and he was holding onto me with everything he had.
He had to live.
I grabbed his phone from his pocket and called an ambulance.
The smell of the hospital almost drove me up the wall. It brought back bad memories of when my parents had died and smelled like disinfectant and old people. I hated it.
I sat outside of Shion's hospital room. The doctors hadn't let me in since I wasn't a family member. Luckily one of the nurses had come out to tell his situation a few times. Apparently the sickness he had had as a baby had reappeared, but only for a minute. They said it was probably just a last bit that had been leftover and that he'd be totally fine soon. Good.
The doctors had called his mom earlier. They had come out of Shion's room to talk to her so I could hear almost everything. She was just yelling frantically the whole time saying she was coming home but I had grabbed the phone from them and somehow convinced her Shion was fine and that she couldn't do anything if she was here anyway. I didn't want her to miss anything important in the city, it sounded like something good had happened there.
I sat in a chair nodding off for a couple hours. I wanted to see Shion and had been super mad when they wouldn't let me through but I had finally given in and sat out here. The nice nurse had brought me a sandwich from the little restaurant downstairs around lunch time. It wasn't till around 3pm that I was allowed to see Shion again.
I walked into the room, he was lying on the bed asleep.
So he was ok now?
The doctor had come out earlier and told me what I did with the epi pen saved his life.
What if I hadn't done that? I shook my head getting rid of my thoughts. I couldn't think about that now.
The monitor beeped, recording Shion's heart rate. As I looked at him now I could see his scar was still the same dark red as it was earlier. It didn't seem like it was going away and back to its usual pink.
Meeting Shion had changed my life. He was everything to me. My lighthouse in a storm. I didn't want to ever be separated from him again.
I walked up next to his sleeping form. His white hair hung into his eyes.
I pulled up a chair to sit next to him and grabbed his free hand to play with it. He had surprisingly bony fingers.
"Thank you Shion." I whispered, putting my head on his chest. The movement of his breathing and beeping of the monitor made me sure he was still with me. Why did I have to be so attached to him? He probably wasn't anything special in anyone else's eyes but he was in mine.
"Nezumi?" I heard from above.
I lifted my head up quickly to see Shion's bright red eyes staring at me. They were so pretty.
I couldn't help but smile.
"So my prince is awake." I said.
Shion gave one of his wonderful smiles that I swore could make even my uncle happy. I squeezed his hand a little bit and brought my head back down to give him a slight hug.
So warm.
"I heard you saved me. Thank you Nezumi." He said quietly.
I looked back at his face and ran my thumb lightly across the scar on his cheek.
"You're welcome." I said and brought my lips carefully to his.
It was a quick kiss but held a lot of meaning.
When I lifted my head back up I could see Shion's face held a look of surprise. His mouth was opened in a slight O and his eyes were widened. Then he turned his head and blushed.
Wow he was cute.
Had that been his first kiss?
I turned his head so he would face me again.
Yeah it definitely was.
"Oh yeah they called your mom. I talked with her. She was really worried but I managed to convince her to stay in the city. You should call her soon to tell her you're fine."
His blush had gone away slightly at the mention of his mom.
"Ok. I'll call her now. Can you hand me that phone?" He asked, pointing to a few feet away where a phone hung on the wall. I handed it to him and he punched in his moms number.
I listened quietly to them talk. She sounded relieved to hear her sons voice again. They kept talking for about a half hour, making me fall asleep in my chair. It had been a long morning.
Shion's POV
He kissed me. He had kissed me.
It was so hard to keep my mind on the phone in my hand. What was my mom even saying?
I looked over at Nezumi who was sitting in a chair next to me with his eyes closed. Was he asleep?
"Oh yup. Uh huh. They made sure I'm completely healed. Yeah. I'm going home by tomorrow. They just want to watch me over night." I said into the phone
He had kissed me! My heart jumped with excitement. I could hear the beeping of the monitor get a little faster.
"Yeah ok. Love you. Bye."
The call ended with a little click.
Why was I acting like this? Nezumi had probably kissed many people. I wasn't anything different. Besides it was just a little peck, nothing serious. Maybe it was just pheromones. I am a teenager after all.
Nezumi slept for a few boring hours. I couldn't go back to sleep with him looking like that right there.
His head was propped on his hand that rested on the arm rest.
I was almost tempted to wake him just to have someone to talk to again. All I had was my thoughts. And they were just screaming at me to make him kiss me again. I could still feel the ghost of his lips on mine. They had been so soft.
Surprisingly I felt fin even though jut this morning a had had some kind of attack. All that was even kinda wrong was that my scar felt a little itchy.
Finally Nezumi got up around 6.
He opened his eyes and looked at me.
"I just remembered we had school today. It's probably just ending. Do you want me to get your assignments?" They gray eyes boy asked.
Wait he was leaving? But he had just woken up!
"Oh um sure." I told him.
He turned around and started to leave. Suddenly I grabbed his arm.
"Wait!"
He turned back to look at me with a curious expression.
"What is it?"
Crap. I hadn't thought this through.
"Well I just.. You. I didn't. Maybe-"
Nezumi have a chuckle, turning all the way around to face me.
"Did you not want me to leave?" He asked.
"Well it would be nice to get my assignments. But well I was thinking before you leave.. Um."
Nezumi slowly got closer to me as I stuttered till he had my chin cupped in his hand and his face was only a few inches away.
"Do you want me to kiss you again?" He asked.
My cheeks turned red. Could he read my mind? I secretly hoped for it.
"Well.. Yeah." I spoke quietly.
His eyes seemed to darken a little bit as he looked at me. Would he really kiss me again?
"Can you just ask me properly?" He asked, his voice a little husky. His face had gotten even closer so now our noses almost touched.
"Would you.. Kiss me again?" I breathed.
He suddenly moved his head and made our lips touch. A spark of electricity seemed to jump through me. This would be my second kiss, I thought. My eyes closed and I focused on the boy in front of me.
His lips stayed planted on mine and his hand found its way to my cheek again as they began to move. I soon realized I knew nothing about kissing but I wish I had known about it sooner.
He lightly bit my bottom lip, making me take a small gasp, and moved his head sideways to get closer.
I slowly got how to do it and lightly kissed Nezumi back.
"Finally." He joked when he pulled back for a breath of air.
I put my free arm around his neck and brought him back down to me.
He now kissed me with a little more force. My hand found its way to his silky hair and gripped at it lightly while his cupped the side of my head.
"Nezumi" I lightly whispered.
He was all I could think about.
I tried pushing him even closer to me as my heart beat sped up.
"Someone likes this." Nezumi whispered as he pulled back slightly. I could then hear how my monitors beeping had gotten much faster. Nezumi could hear my heart jump when he came back to me and lightly licked my lips. At my little gasp he slipped his tongue inside.
I had seen this in the manga's Safu had given me so at least it wasn't a total surprise but it still felt weird.
He carefully moved his tongue, noticing that I was tense. Finally it started to feel less weird and I clumsily copied him. I could feel him smile slightly as I did.
He pressed down into me a little rougher, guiding my head how he wanted with his hand.
Then I felt my hospital gown being pulled up. Nezumi's hand was slowly sliding up my leg then up my stomach. It practically burned as he touched me but gave me goosebumps. Suddenly his hands left and he backed up slightly.
"Sorry." He said, close to my ear. "I would go farther but we're kinda in a hospital." He motioned his head to the ceiling where a security camera sat.
I wiped a little bit of drool that had slid unto my cheek.
"I-it's fine." I blushed.
I had learned some new skills in the last few minutes that I would never forget again.
Nezumi lifted his head to meet my eyes, a look of pure love and lust on his face.
"Shion," He said. "You really got the hang of that by the end."
I blushed even redder.
"Well I had a good teacher like usual." I mentioned.
Nezumi smiled down at me, tracing my cheek with his thumb. Then he realized my gown was still rumpled up and quickly smoothed it back down.
"Well should I go get your school assignments for the next 2 days now?" He asked, standing up.
"I guess. Thanks." I said.
And with that Nezumi left with a quick kiss to my forehead, leaving me to deal with shock and happiness over what had just happened.
So.. were we together now? I laid back on the hospital bed. I was so confused.
(Sorry guys, I know I usually update sooner but I have family visiting. I'll probably update every few days now since I also have school starting too. Hope this chapter was fine! I kept having to stop after a few sentences and come back an hour or so later.)
