I'm a Terrible Friend
After the whole job fail I avoided going to the shopping district for a couple days. Thankfully when I told my friends of my dilemma; leaving out the part about possibly signing my death warrant, Yamamoto's dad was kind enough to let me work at his sushi restaurant. A few days after I started I found out that Tsuna had somehow wound up in the hospital, and I decided to go visit him. When I arrived I found that I wasn't the first to show up; Dino and his men had beaten me.
"Yo Tsuna-san, how're you feeling?" I asked once I managed to navigate my way through the forest of suits.
"Hisoka-san," Tsuna said sounding a little surprised, "Ah, I'm feeling much better now. Ano… don't you have to work?"
I shook my head, "No I was given today off, so I decided to come visit you. Oh, and it's nice to see you too Dino-san."
Before the blond could reply Tsuna's roommates suddenly freaked out and ran out of the room. Though to be fair Dino did have a lot of his men with him. Not long after they returned with a nurse in tow. And I was not very fond of her. Tsuna was escorted to another room; this one private and fairly big. However, the nurse blamed him for Dino's mistake. I could feel my hands curl themselves into fists, and willed myself to calm down. After I was completely calm I had to wonder if she was having a bad day. So, I decided that I'd let this accusation slide for now. Thankfully Tsuna wasn't upset with the change; in fact he liked being in a room that he had all to himself.
I was glad when Dino showed up and apologized, and it was good to see Yamamoto coming to visit Tsuna. I was pretty surprised when Yamamoto's dad showed up and put together a small sushi shop, but I figured it wasn't the weirdest thing I'd seen. After Yamamoto's dad left I excused myself to go get us all something to drink. When I returned Gokudera was about to run out so I stepped out of the way, but the silverette found his path blocked by his sister. The poor boy wound up on the floor clutching his stomach.
"Romeo!" I heard Bianchi say as though surprised. However, when I followed her gaze all I saw were wisps of pink smoke and Lambo. However, Tsuna's look was filled with relief.
"I guess it was my imagination," Gokudera's sister said looking towards the sushi stand, "Eat this instead of that stuff," she said walking over to Tsuna with a sinister looking purple cake in hand.
"Eat this?" Tsuna asked though when he saw what it was he immediately got off the bed and headed for the door, "I'll pass!"
Suddenly there were voices from outside the doors. Apparently some of the nurses had seen Tsuna's guests, and like most girls wanted to see them up close. Unfortunately they ended up breaking the door down right on top of Tsuna. And then that nurse that I didn't like took Tsuna to another private room that was much smaller than the one he had just been in. And then she blamed Tsuna for inviting guests that seduced the nurses. But could you really seduce someone without trying. I ended up excusing myself again since I figured I'd probably never be allowed back in if I assaulted a staff member. But when I returned I found that Tsuna had been moved yet again.
This time it had gone too far. The room he'd been moved to was small, dark and had jars filled with animals… heck, it was just plain creepy. So I decided to have a little talk with this nurse. When I found her she was busy scolding a younger nurse for dropping something, though she was much nicer about than she was when she was getting after Tsuna. I waited until she was done before gaining her attention.
"You know I'm not too fond of the way you've been treating my friend," I said, "For starters he wasn't to blame for all those men visiting him, true there shouldn't have been that many but that's still no cause to blame him. Second, he didn't invite the people who you claim seduced," I air quoted here, "those nurses; they came to visit him because they're good friends. And he was just making lunch for those other patients," she tried to speak here but I cut her off, "I don't have any clue what you're problem is but Tsuna needs just as much care as any of these other patients; possibly more due to accidents that have happened in this hospital. And if you kick him out just for things that were beyond his control then that's just wrong. Well, I've had my say so I'll be going now."
And with that I turned and headed right back to Tsuna's room only to find that once again he'd gotten himself hurt. And despite all that I had said to that nurse still wound up being upset with him, though this one was kind of his fault. The nurse led us down several halls since I decided to stay with him until things were settled.
"Normally, we'd have you leave the hospital," the nurse said, "But because another patient was kind enough to offer, you'll be sharing a room with him."
I could tell Tsuna was glad that the hospital had let him stay, but that he was worried about what his roommate would be like.
"It'll be fine Tsuna," I said, "I'll help you settle in and make sure that you're comfortable."
Finally we stopped outside of a room. However, the nurse seemed to be on edge and even lowered her voice when she spoke.
"Here," she said before heading back the way we'd come, "I'll be going now."
"Tsuna-san I have a bad…" but I wasn't able to finish as Tsuna knocked on the door.
"Excuse me," he said before he pulled the door open. Then he froze. I slowly peeked past him and immediately plastered myself to the wall. Hibari was Tsuna's roommate, and that did not bode well for either of us.
"Yo," Hibari said.
"Hibari-san?! It can't be!" Tsuna said fear etched in his very being, "Why are you at the hospital?!"
"My cold took a turn for the worse," I couldn't believe that he'd been absent from school because of a cold and had gone to a hospital for it, "Although I'm mostly better now, I thought I'd be cautious and stay under medical care."
"I… I see," Tsuna replied, though I could tell that he didn't then he looked to the side, "What happened here?!"
"Them?" Hibari asked so I assumed someone was in the room, "We were playing a game to kill time, but they were so weak. I'm having those who share this room with me participate in a game. The rules are simple," I felt a chill creep up my spine, "If you make any noise while I'm sleeping, I'll bite you to death."
I blanched and felt my mind go blank. Once I returned to the world of the living I found Tsuna at the window throwing something out of it. There was an explosion not long after. I immediately paled and looked into the room. Thankfully Hibari was still asleep. The next thing I knew was that Tsuna had grabbed I-Pin and thrown her out the window. I almost yelled at him when there was another explosion, and that immediately silenced my protests. Luckily even that hadn't woken Hibari up. Tsuna was relieved, but not long after he freaked out. A rose petal was falling, which I wasn't sure why it freaked Tsuna out… until it hit the table. I could tell that somehow it had woken Hibari up, when the two loud explosions hadn't. Without really thinking I pulled Tsuna away from the door, though the way I did it put me right in Hibari's line of sight.
"You," I shivered and looked over at the prefect.
"Yo Hibari-san," I said weakly, "Ah, excuse me, but I have somewhere to be."
And with that I took off. I sent a silent apology to Tsuna and ducked down a hallway. I wasn't sure if Hibari was following me or not, but I wasn't about to wait around to find out.
~The Next Day~
"Gomen'nasai Tsuna-san," I apologized, "If I hadn't left you this might not have happened."
I'd found out via Yamamoto that Hibari had beaten up Tsuna after I'd run. The poor boy had both his legs and arms bandaged along with his chest, jaw and head.
"It's okay Hisoka-san," Tsuna tried to reassure me, "I'm just glad you're okay. But Hibari-san seemed even angrier after you left."
"He did," I asked, "Well… about that…"
"Nani?!" Tsuna burst out when I'd finished telling him about what really happened when I'd been looking for a job, "You really did that?"
I nodded, "Yeah, and I guess he's still mad about it… or he's still mad at me I guess. I'm sorry you got hurt because of it. I'll make it up to you someday though, I promise."
After that we talked for a little while before I had to leave. I felt a little better that Tsuna didn't blame me for what had happened to him, but I still felt guilty about it, and I doubted that would change any time soon.
