AN: Okay, I decided! ^^ Instead of being a yaoi, it's going to be a waffy, shounen ai! ^^ Genrou and Dr. Ri still do some lovin', but it's not anything that should be kept behind closed doors ^_~. That said ... for those of you who have been reading up to this point and don't like that sort of stuff ... you may want to stop reading here. Any flames that I may get with be used to toast my new box of pop tarts, then promptly extinguished (^^ I like the magic "delete review" button). Anyhow, hope those of you who don't mind and are reading, I hope you enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: Yes!! I own everything!! BWAHAH!! *wakes up from dream* -_-;;; d'oh!
Regina glanced up at the clock for the fifth time in the past five minutes. An hour and a half had passed already since Genrou went to get a movie. The video store was only about a twenty minute walk or so from their house, but she knew that the young boy would wander a bit before he got there, so she figured that it would take him an hour at the most to find what he needed. It was seven, and her worry increased as it soon became seven-fifteen.
She started a bit and hurried to the front room when she heard the door swing open and the click of shoes on the tile entryway. "Genrou?"
She was greeted by the boyish face of her husband, Erik, who had just come in from work. He glanced over his shoulder a moment, then back to his worried wife. "What's going on?"
"Genrou went to get a movie almost two hours ago. He said that he'd be home before dinner, but I haven't heard from him at all. I'm starting to get worried... It's almost eight."
Erik frowned a moment, scratching his head. "Well, you know how he is. Perhaps he just got side tracked or something? He's done it before."
"But never this late! I have no idea how to reach him!"
"Calm down, Regina. I'm sure we'll hear from him soon." And as if on cue, the phone began to ring. "Ah, you see! I bet that's him right now," Erik added as he went into the kitchen and answered the phone. Regina frowned and followed after him, listening to the conversation.
"Hello? Yes, this is he... Where?" Erik furrowed his brows and tilted his head back slightly, as the person on the other line continued to talk to him. Regina frowned more at that. Erik only stood that way on the phone when he was talking about something serious. She moved over to stand by him and lightly placed a hand on his arm. His gray-blue eyes flicked to her for a moment, then back to the base of the phone where he had been looking before. "All right, thank you. We'll be right there."
"Erik? What's going on? Who was that?"
Erik sighed a little and put his hands on his hips before looking to Regina, his brows still furrowed. "That was a police officer. Genrou has been involved in some sort of fight, and he's at the hospital right now. His doctor that he's been seeing has been shot."
Genrou sat on a chair in the waiting area with his knees pulled up to his chest, resting his chin on his arms that were wrapped around his legs, starting blankly at a wall, tears streaming down his face. It had been almost an hour since the incident and he arrived at the hospital in the ambulance. He had insisted on riding in the same with Dr. Ri. The whole ordeal seemed to be happening like a dream... a very bad dream, and he couldn't help but feel that sometime, he would wake up and find himself back in the doctor's office, sitting across from the handsome, blue-haired man.
Genrou finally shifted his blurry gaze to a clock and let out a ragged sigh. Another five minutes have passed and he hadn't heard a word from the workers on how Dr. Ri was doing. He closed his eyes tightly, tears squeezing out and running down his flushed face. He looked up suddenly, when the sliding doors of the hospital opened and he heard his name. He barley had time to get to his feet before he was dragged into a tight hug from Regina. "God, Genrou! We were so worried! Are you all right? You're not hurt are you?"
It took Genrou a moment to register what she was saying to him. He was still in a withdrawn state, and couldn't find his voice at first. "Regina..." he began quietly as he looked to her, his face twisting into an expression of sheer agony. "They shot him... He pushed me out of the way...! He saved me, but he got shot! They shot him!"
Regina's eyes softened and filled with tears of her own as Genrou broke down completely and buried his face in her shoulder. She held him tightly and stroked his hair in an attempt to comfort him. She had been unaware that Genrou and Dr. Ri had gotten to be so close. Genrou had put up such a fuss about going to his sessions, but she then realized that lately, he hadn't been doing that. She closed her eyes a moment, then opened them as a door was opened and a nurse came out, holding a clip board. Genrou pulled back from Regina and turned to the nurse and stepped towards her a bit as she approached, but he couldn't tell whether the news was good or bad from the expression on her face.
She turned and looked to the red-haired boy and smiled a little. "I take it that you're Genrou."
Genrou nodded his head in reply. "How is he? He's gonna be okay, right?"
"As of right now, yes. We're watching his vital signs closely to make sure that no abnormal changes occur. He's in stable condition at the moment."
Genrou let out a soft sigh and looked down a moment at his feet, then glance briefly over his shoulder to Regina and Erik. "Would it be all right if I go in an' see him?" He asked finally, looking back to the nurse.
The short woman titled her head to the side, pursing her lips together as she considered his request, then smiled a bit. "Well, I don't see why not. Come with me."
Genrou nodded and followed her. Regina started to go after him, but Erik put a hand on her shoulder to stop her. "Let him have some time to himself. We can wait here for him," he said softly. Regina frowned, but nodded in agreement and reluctantly sat down with him.
The room was dimly lit, and soft beeps and the hum of hospital machines was the only thing that kept it from being absolutely silent. Genrou nodded a thanks to the nurse, and she closed the door, leaving him alone. He fidgeted a little, then made his way over to the bed slowly. He felt his heart wrench at the sight of his doctor laying there with tubes on him and the pail color of his face. A bandage was wrapped around him, and small spots were on it from where his blood had leaked through. Genrou did his best to swallow back a fresh round of tears as he timidly reached out and brushed a few strands of hair from the doctor's face.
Dr. Ri stirred a little at the gentle touch and his eyes fluttered open. His vision was a little blurry at first, and he was groggy from the medication he was on, but he managed a smile when he saw the familiar teen standing over him. "Genrou..." his voice was softy and a bit on the hoarse side.
Genrou quickly looked up as the doctor spoke his name. "Yer awake!"
"Yes... Barley, but I am, no da," Dr. Ri replied just as quietly as before, but his gentle gaze seemed a bit focused.
Genrou bit his bottom lip a moment, feeling it quiver as tears stung his eyes. "Dr. Ri... I'm so sorry. I never meant fer this t' happen t' ya..."
"Don't be sorry, Genrou. You did nothing wrong."
"What do ya mean?? I got ya shot!" the teen exclaimed as he started to tremble.
"You didn't know that they would have a gun, no da..."
"I should have known! Mark an' his guys don't screw around when they're out t' get back at someone."
Dr. Ri frowned a little at that, and closed his eyes for moment as he spoke. "Genrou, please... Don't blame yourself for this. There was no way you could have known... I'm glad that I was able to be there for you."
Genrou couldn't hold back his tears anymore. "Ya shouldn't have got yerself shot fer me! Why did ya push me outta th' way?? Is it cause I'm yer patient?"
Dr. Ri felt his eyes close again as he started to become groggy again from the medicine, starting to drift off. "Genrou... Even if you weren't my patient, I still would have done the same thing. Don't you see? I would do whatever it takes...to protect you."
Genrou stared at the doctor as he drifted off into sleep. His mind whirled as Dr. Ri's words echoed in his ears. Even if he weren't his patient, he still would have risked his life for him. Genrou didn't know what do to. No one in his life had ever said such a thing to him before. For a long moment, all he could do was look down upon his doctor in wonder. A small smile crossed the teen's tear stained face as his gaze softened into a gentle expression of admiration. Then, he slowly leaned down and timidly pressed his lips to Dr. Ri's, in their first kiss.
