"Soubi-kun," the voice echoed in the almost silent bedroom. Soubi laid on his back, nothing but the white sheet covering his bare body. Half unconscious, Soubi rolled his head to the left, wanting to block out the deep voice. His body ached with pain, which wasn't so different than a usual day, but pain in places he despised the most. "...Soubi-kun, answer me." He hesitated for a moment, then opened his eyes, the reality of his surroundings came into view.

"Yes, Ritsu-sensei?" His young voice was weak, it hurt to move and divert his attention to the tall man hovering his body. The room was dark, but Soubi could make an outline of where the man was and what he was doing. He reacted to a hand that placed itself upon his forehead, then running the cold fingers through his tangled hair.

"You shouldn't lay in bed all day." The voice was comforting, yet harsh. Soubi could feel the anger and love pulsing through the man's hand. He decided to sit up and follow his sensei's orders. The pain ripped through him at once and his eyes winced in pain. Ritsu removed the hand from Soubi's hair and walked out of the room.

"Pain is nothing compared to my feelings." Soubi wrapped his arms around his knees, hiding his face in his arms. He loved his sensei and no one could tear that bond.
