"Ahh. Where is he!? He is always the last one to show up and is always
late." Exclaimed Fujisaki out loud.
"It cannot be helped, he is still in his slump and his situation with Yuki isn't helping him any." Hiro said with an audible sigh.
Everyone stood up as the door suddenly opened, only to be disappointed as K stepped through. Looking around him K shook his head, his normal voice not sounding as cheerful as usual. "Big news! Shuichi will be absent today and for a few more days afterwards. I just got a call."
"Ahh... What is that baka doing? Saying he will not be here for a few days." Fujisaki cried exasperated.
Shaking his head, K looked a bit cross at Fujisaki as he shook his finger back and forth. "No no no. He was in an accident of some sort. He is currently being looked on in the hospital, but he is."
Eh. NANI!" Hiro burst from the room and down the hall.
".. not that bad." K finished. "Why doesn't he ever listen to me until the end? He is just as bad as Shindo-kun."
An hour later, Hiro was at the hospital's reception area. Pacing about as he waited for more information, his worry and anxiety increased by the moment. Shuichi was currently still being examined by the doctor.
As the doctor came out of the room, Hiro pounced on him. "Shuichi. How is he? Is he ok?"
Smiling, the doctor looked down at Hiro. "He is going to be fine. He was just hit really hard and bruised a few ribs and punctured a lot of tissue. His body's state was weakened prior to the impact as he was out in the rain, I am amazed he didn't catch a minor case of hyperthermia or worse. He is no longer in critical condition and is currently resting. Besides a few bruises, he will be fine in a couple of days as long as he doesn't push himself."
Shaking back tears, Hiro smiled and looked at the doctor. "Thank-you, is there any way I could see him?"
The doctor, looking thoughtful for a moment, finally smiled and nodded. "As long as you don't disturb him, you should be fine. He will be very weak and visiting hours are almost over, so don't stay too long."
Nodding his head, Hiro headed over and crept into Shuichi's room. Glancing down at Shuichi's face, it was hard to look away.
At the soft breathing of Hiro, Shuichi opened his eyes. "Hiro. I'm so sleepy. I cannot seem to be able to stay awake. Hiro. Kowaii yo. kowaii. yo." Closing his eyes, Shuichi fell into another deep sleep.
Bending down, Hiro gently kissed Shuichi's forehead. "Don't worry Shuichi. I am here now. You do not have to be scared any longer. I will protect you, just like when we were kids."
After gently closing the door behind him as he exited the room, Hiro proceeded to the reception's desk. "What exactly happened to the patient named Shuichi?"
Looking up, the nurse shook her head. "I am afraid that the information that you are requesting is confidential inform.."
Slamming his fist onto the counter, Hiro yelled. "Don't give me that crap! My best friend just came in here and needed to be examined as he was in critical condition! Tell me what happened!!!"
Shaking, the nurse squealed. "All I can tell you is that a guy named Yuki called and told to get an ambulance to his place in a hurry."
Hiro walked out the door, and during his walk back to his apartment, he decided. He decided that he was going to pay Yuki Eri a visit tomorrow first thing, and it wasn't going to be a pleasant visit.
As the doorbell rang, Yuki jumped out of his chair and ran to the door. "Shuichi.. is it." Was all he could say before his face was punched and he fell to the floor in astonishment?
"Bastard.. What did you do to Shuichi? Answer me!" Hiro exclaimed as he bent down to yell in Yuki's face. Hiro was mad. no, he was pissed.
As the both stared into each others eyes Hiro spoke up. "I told you once before. If you ever made Shuichi cry, you would have to answer to me. I just came by to tell you to stay away from Shuichi. I am taking him from you, you do not deserve him." Thus saying, Hiro abruptly turned and started walking away, once again leaving Yuki alone, but this time with no rain to hide his feelings.
"It cannot be helped, he is still in his slump and his situation with Yuki isn't helping him any." Hiro said with an audible sigh.
