AN: Woo! Finally a chance to update! Finals week is being good to me this year. ^^ I only have 2 classes to worry about! e.e;; Econ and English. Heh... Finals in art, drama, and choir are a snap. Tho I'm sad to say that the new art teacher gives us written tests rather than a small project like the old teacher did. I was looking forward to it this year... Anyway, enough with my ranting. Here's the new chapter!
DISCLAIMER: Once upon a time there was a fan girl who REALLY wished that she owned Fushigi Yuugi and such, but that wish never came true, so now she resorts to dwelling in fantasies where all rights belong to her. The End.
"Oi, Dr. Ri!" came Genrou's cheerful voice as the door to the hospital room was kicked open with a bang. Dr. Ri blinked a few times, looking up for his magazine, but then laughed when he saw the teen's crooked grin as he came in with an arm full of flowers and balloons.
"Genrou, no da! This is certainly a surprise!" the doctor was finally able to sit up without pain, and he didn't need the bandages anymore. It had been about two weeks, and was recovering well. This wasn't the first visit Genrou had made to him, but it was certainly the best. Dr. Ri couldn't help but feel a hundred times more better at his patient's good mood.
Genrou blushed when he looked at his doctor. Memories of the first night came back to him. Mostly the end where he had given a kiss to him. Dr. Ri had no idea that he had done that, nor was Genrou planning telling him. The last thing he needed was for the doctor to turn on him because he wasn't strong enough to hold back his emotions.
"Yer lookin' better, doc! Think ya will be back in th' office soon?"
Dr. Ri smiled and nodded his head as he watched Genrou set the gifts on a table that was already loaded with cards and other vases of flowers. "Yes. The doctors say that I'll most likely be able to return to work in another day or two, no da. They don't want to push me too far at once."
"Yeah... I figgered it'd be somethin' like that."
"You seem eager to have me back, no da. Miss our sessions, do you?"
Genrou turned another shade of red, but laughed somewhat nervously to cover it and placed a hand behind his head. "Well, ya know how it is once ya start gettin' used t' somethin'. It feels weird when it ain't there."
Dr. Ri laughed lightly and nodded his head. "Don't worry, no da. You don't need to explain that to me. I know just how it is as well. How are things going with you, no da? Are you back at school?"
"Yeah. I went back they day before yesterday. Regina let me have some extra time off ... to make sure that you were gonna be okay."
"That was nice of her. I hope you didn't fall too far behind, no da."
"Naw, don't worry 'bout that. I got buds that'll get me caught up in no time."
Dr. Ri nodded his head in approval and looked to his gifts, smiling more. "Thank you, no da. They're the wonderful."
"Yeah," Genrou grinned. "Thought that they'd cheer ya up some. Saved my lunch money t' get em."
The doctor looked to him in slight surprised, touched by that. He had never seen Genrou in such a good mood as he was in now, and he really was enjoying it. But perhaps it was a mask of some sort? The doctor sat up more and folded his hands in his lap; a habit of his when he was being professional. "Genrou ... how have you been really, no da. Any more anger spells or anything like that? Trouble at home or school?"
Genrou blinked as he pulled up a chair and sat down in it by the bed side. The only trouble he had had was his emotions over the doctor, but there was no way he could talk about that. He looked away some as he felt his face grow warm, a blush creeping over his face. "No, o' course not! Things couldn't be better!" He glanced back to Dr. Ri and practically crumbled at that look. The doctor had a keen knack for seeing right through him when he wanted. Genrou found it both fascinating and annoying at the same time. He held his ground, however. "Seriously. I've really been okay when it comes to that sort o' stuff."
"What about other 'sorts of stuff'?"
Genrou swallowed nervously and gripped the arms of the chair he was siting in so tightly, his knuckles turned white. No, he couldn't tell him. Not now, and he wasn't so sure he could tell him ever. "Dr. Ri... Please. This-" he swallowed again before continuing. "Let's not talk like we're in th' office, kay? I came down t' visit with ya like a pal. I don't wanna have a doctor student relationship with ya now."
"What I really want is t' be in a real relationship with ya," is what was running through Genrou's mind. He quickly shook his head to get it out of his thoughts. What on God's green Earth was he thinking?? They day Dr. Ri would ever consider such a thing with an adolescent like him would be the day when hell itself froze over. That thought was enough to make Genrou's heart sink.
"Cripes... Yer fuckin' depressin' yerself!"
Dr. Ri frowned as he watched the teen's expressions change with his inner turmoil. He started to get a helpless like feeling when Genrou wouldn't talk about whatever it was bothering him. The doctor couldn't help but think of that one night. Ever since then, he was paranoid that another one of his students would do the same thing, especially Genrou. He was the closest to Dr. Ri out of all the patients. The doctor had no clue what to make of it either. It was nice though. Whatever their connection was, he never wanted to lose it. He never wanted to lose Genrou period. And that's when that thought came to him. There would be a day in the future when the teen would be able to cope with his own problems without the doctor's assistance. And even though that was the goal they were trying to attain, Dr. Ri found himself secretly wishing that that day would take its time in coming.
"You know, whenever you feel like talking, I'm always here for you, no da."
Genrou blinked again, startled from his thoughts as he looked back to Dr. Ri. "Yeah... But what about something else?"
Now it was Dr. Ri's turn to do the blinking. "What do you mean, no da?"
During the doctor's silent musings, Genrou had finally built up enough courage to ask him. "Maybe sometime we could catch a movie an' go fer ice cream ... like th' other day?" Genrou knew his face was as red as a radish, but he looked hopefully to the doctor anyhow.
Dr. Ri was surprised at the request, but at the same time incredibly flattered. Normally students wouldn't want to be out with their doctor in public. He then reminded himself that Genrou wasn't like his other students. With that thought and the teen's pleading look, how could he say no? He smiled brightly and nodded his head. "I'd really like that, no da."
Genrou was shocked and all he could do was stare in disbelief for a moment before it registered that Dr. Ri hadn't turned him down flat like he expected him to. That same crooked grin spread across his face as he stood up happily. "Great! I got yer number an' all that. I can give ya a call when yer home an' all finished resting."
Dr. Ri felt his own smile grow. "I'll be looking forward to it, no da."
"Yeah, me too. Anyhow, I gotta get going. Regina has t' get t' work, an' she don't like me bein' out an' about, ya know."
"I understand, no da. I shall see you later then?"
"You bet! See ya, Dr. Ri!"
Genrou let out a shaky, excited breath after he exited the room and closed the door behind him. For a moment, he only could only stand there, grinning like an idiot as he replayed what happened just minutes before in his head. Gods, he was happy. It was even safe to say that he was giddy, for as he started down the hall to the exit, he let out a triumphant whoop and jumped into the air.
