Nightmares and Sickness

By: NightShadow

Chapter Fifteen

Caught

"It's good to finally be home... all of us!" Shuu shouted excitedly. They had signed Seiji out and had gone home almost immediatly after. The troopers had just gotten through the door of their house.

"Quiet, Shuu. He's sleeping." Touma whispered referring to the sleeing Seiji in his arms. At first Seiji had insisted on walking by himself and had actually gotten pretty far given his condition. Even though he was a lot more healed than before he still had a ways to go, not to mention his fever was still raging.

The swordsman had gotten about half-way to the house when he nearly collapsed and Touma had convinced him to let him be carried. On the short way to the door Seiji had fallen asleep, which was both a relief and a worry. It was good that he was getting rest but it took no time at all for the worn out trooper to fall asleep in the archer's arms, which wasn't good.

Once in the house Touma went up to both his and Seiji's room and gently layed the sleeping blonde on his bed. He covered Seiji up and kissed him on his forehead. "Oyasuminasai."

Touma first took a shower, which felt extremly good since he felt like he really needed one after being at the hospital for so long. During the shower he had just stood their letting the water cascade down him soothingly. After the relaxing shower he quickly did everything else needed (brush teeth, bathroom, etc.), then went to bed.

"Touma.. help." The archer faintly heard from across the room. At first he didn't think anything of it.

"Stop. Plz stop! ....Touma, help!" He heard once again, this time the voice being more frantic than before. He jumped from his bed when he realized that it was Seiji yelling.

Touma quickly got to Seiji's bed and saw that he was thrashing around, trapped in another nightmare. He started shaking Seiji trying to wake him.

"No... stop.... don't...." Seiji pleaded and tried to get away from Touma, thinking that it was the person in his nightmare.

The archer stopped shaking him, thinking it'd be better if he did. By shaking him Seiji probably thought that he'd hurt him, not knowing who it really was. Instead of shaking the blonde he grabbed his hand, which had been flailing about trying to hit an invisible opponent. He repeated comforting words to Seiji, hoping to calm him. It seemed to be working, since he was no longer fighting and began to relax.

Finally, the swordsman stopping fighting him all together and completely relaxed on the bed. He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Touma through the haze of his fever. He smiled up at the archer and was about to say something when a coughing fit came over him.

Even though Seiji needed some water, not to mention some medicine, Touma was still reluctant to leave Seiji's side. The thought of overprotectiveness never crossed his . Since Tomo had captured Seiji so easily he was concerned for him and wanted to protect him whenever possible. He knew that he had to get Seiji the water and medicine so he left for the two needed items without further thought on the matter. He really hadn't thought about it that long in the first place.

The blue-haired archer quickly and first handed the water to Seiji, who drank it greedily.

"Slow down, koi. Don't want you to choke."

He slowed down and once he was finished, leaving only a little left, he exhaustedly flopped back down on his pillow, breathing heavily. He started to close his eyes when he heard Touma's voice. "Take some medicine first." It was a comand but was spoken softly. It wasn't spoken for control, of course, just out of love and it had an underlying tone of concern.

Seiji wearily opened his eyes and let Touma help him into a sitting position, too tired to argue against the action. His pride would have to be put on hold for the time being.

Touma handed him two pills; he popped them into his mouth and swallowed them with the little bit of water that was left. After that he layed back down and closed his eyes.

Touma had noticed that Seiji hadn't fallen asleep after a while so decided to get into the bed next to him, hoping to make him more comfortable. He got on the bed behind Seiji and his eyes opened wondering what his lover was doing. "Just go to sleep, koi." Touma wrapped his arms around him, holding him close.

"Aishiteru." He heard Seiji say sleepily before he had fallen asleep. Touma held him closer, whispering it back into his lover's ear, even though it couldn't be heard. He soon fell asleep also.

Shin came into their room quietly opening the door, figuring Seiji would be resting. It was late and everyone was asleep except for him, however, he wasn't sure if Touma was asleep as well. He thought he'd ask Touma; possibly Seiji, if they needed anything on his way to bed.

Shin smiled at the scene before him: Touma sleeping in Seiji's bed with his arms wrapped securely around Seiji's waist. They both looked so relaxed, a lot more than they had been for a very long time now.
Seiji woke up to find Touma's arms still wrapped around him. The archer was still fast asleep. Somehow during the night he'd turned around so that he was now facing Touma. The blonde studied his features, thinking of how beautiful he was.

I don't deserve him. He gently ran his finger over the sleeping archer's cheek, feeling his soft skin. You're so perfect.

Seiji brought his face up to Touma's and gently kissed him. He slowly pulled away and was surprised to see his lover's eyes open.

The blue-haired archer smiled at Seiji. He was happy to see him awake. He didn't get that bad of a way to wake up either. Waking up to his lover's kiss wouldn't bother him at all! "Ohayou." Touma greeted him.

Seiji returned the greeting.

"How are you feeling?"

"A lot better than yesterday." The swordsman answered. He hadn't thought about his fever since last night and had even forgotten that he was even sick to begin with.

Touma brought his hand up to Seiji's forehead and found that Seiji wasn't lying about his health. "Well, your fever has dropped quite a bit, but is still there so you should still rest. Besides, the rest of your injuries haven't healed yet."

When Seiji had used Korin he wasn't able to heal all of them, being too weak from fever and from everything else that had happened. He had only healed the major ones that prevented him from leaving the hospital.

Seiji only nodded at Touma's statement, not wanting to get up anyway. He was just glad to be home and to be next to his lover.

Touma pulled Seiji closer once more and kissed him again. This time the kiss was more intense as they tasted each other's mouth.

They were only paying attention to each other so didn't notice that someone had walked in with some food. "Well, it seems like Seiji's feeling better." Ryo said with a huge smile. He laughed when he saw both Seiji and Touma jump in surprise; then blush a dark red. "Sorry to interupt but I thought it would be best if you guys ate, especially you, Seiji." Ryo said breathlessly, after controlling his laughter.

Touma got up and grabbed the food from him. "Thank you very much." He said somewhat angrily. He wanted to continue what he had started with Seiji. "Next time please knock." Touma started to go back to Seiji, to give him some food. This time he was going to sit on the chair next to the bed.

Ryo took that as a sign to leave. He stopped at the door and turned back to the two lovers and started laughing again.

Touma looked up at Ryo when he heard him laughing at them. He grabbed the closest thing to him on the stand by the bed, which luckily was only a pen, and threw it at the ebony-haired trooper.

Ryo had seen it coming so quickly closed the door and heard the pen hit it. He then walked down the stairs to the rest of the guys who were all eating as well.

"What's so funny?" Shuu asked noticing Ryo laughing, still. He had also heard Ryo close the door kind of hard. When Ryo had closed to door to escape the pen he hadn't paid attention to how loudly it was closed and couldn't really control it since he was closing it quickly.

"I... I caught them... kissing." Ryo answered through laughs.

Both Shin and Shuu just stared at Ryo for a moment before it finally sunk in. They both pictured the look of shock on Seiji and Touma's faces and started laughing too.

"Touma threw something at me when I left because I started laughing again when I looked at them." Ryo said controlling his laughter. "You should have seen their faces when I caught them." He saw it in his mind again and couldn't help but laugh once again.

Shin and Shuu joined in his laughter.

The tension that had once been in the house only a couple of days ago was broken as their laughter rang throughout the house.
Touma and Seiji could hear the laughter from downstairs and had a really good feeling of what it was about. It was kind of awkward for them, being caught and now they were laughing about it.

"Maybe we should get a lock." Touma said with a smile, only half joking. He laughed when he saw Seiji's face. It was a mixture of emotions, at first being one of shock; then he smiled mischievously. "Maybe we should." He leaned forward and kissed Touma passionately.
