Cupids the One to Blame
Chapter Eight
"Sugar Sweet"
The voices faded in, although his eyes failed to cooperate. He knew Seto was amoungst them, but he could hardly make out what he said over the others.
"It's a mild concusion, he'll be fine."
"We just need to take him overnight, just as a precaustion."
"His father isn't answering the phone."
"There's no doctor listed here. No insurance either."
"I'll pay for it."
"Are you sure?"
"How'd this happen?"
He chose to ignore them after that, being far too tired to let his aching head work any harder than it had to.
............
The next time he came to, the room was quiet, save for the small bleeping noise comming from somewhere to the side. He cracked one, sleepy eye open almost being blinded by the lights. He winced a little before opening the other to stare at a very forgien ceiling. "Where-augh..." he stopped talking, finding that only made his massive headache worse.
"Your in the hospital, Jou." Came a childish voice that he recognized as the younger Kaiba brother, Mokuba. "Seto's gonna be glad your awake."
Jou tilted his head very slowly to look at the boy, who was sitting in a chair next to his bed drawing. There were hundreds of questions he wanted to ask but his mind wouldnt let him, so he just stared. Mokuba blinked at him, then smiled.
"My brother saved you." He went back to drawing. "I heard him talking to the doctors. He said Otogi attacked you in the bathroom. I think he went nuts or something, but anyway he's in jail, i think. Seto should be comming back to check on you soon, he's paying to keep you here because they cant get a hold of your Dad."
Doesn't suprise me, Jou thought, watching Mokuba scribble on the paper. Dad doesn't use the phone unless its for pizza or hookers.
"Bad news tho'," Mokuba looked back at Jou. "The hospital doesn't wanna keep you here if your Dad doesnt know, and you don't have insurance. Theres only so much brother can do."
Jou sighed, figures. The door opened and closed, Seto came into Jous sight looking stoic as ever.
"Hi big bro! Look who woke up!" Mokuba chimed.
Seto nodded. "I see that." He looked directly into Jous eyes. "Mokuba, will you go wait in the lobby?"
"Sure Seto." Mokuba obeyed, gathering his drawing supplies and standing. "Feel better soon Jou." He said with a sly wink before exiting.
Jou blinked in confusion but that slowly disappeared as Seto sat in the chair, scooting it closer to the bed. "How are you, pup?" He asked, expression unchanging.
"I'm..." Jou winced and lowered his own voice. "fine. My head hurts like hell though."
"What about your neck and back?" Seto's voice was twinged with care but still remained cool.
Jou smiled a little. " All good, my shoulders hurt a little bit but nothing unbearable."
Seto's head dropped a little. "They're bruised." He looked away, gritting his teeth.
"Hey Seto." Jous weak voice was barely audible. "Thanks for saving me."
Seto smirked a little. " I only did what anyone else would do."
"You're turning this into some sort of Lifetime movie special."
They both chuckled a little, Jou hissed as his head pounded. "I'll get a nurse for some asprin." Seto stood slowly.
"Okay." Jou wispered and watched him step outside and halt a woman in the hall.
They spoke for less than a minute and she handed him something, Seto came back in the room shaking a little red package. "All they had was Tylenol 3's, are you allergic to codine?" He grabbed a pitcher off the table and poured the water into a glass.
"Nope, 3's are great."
Seto tore open the package and took out the large, white pill, holding it in one hand he picked up the glass of water. "Sit up,puppy. God forbid you choke on this damn thing."
Jou laughed a little and slowly pulled himself up into a sitting position, not without a long, drawn out groan. Seto passed the water and pill to Jou, who took it almost imeadiately.
"Thanks again." he said after finishing off the water and setting the cup on the side table.
"Welcome." Said Seto as he sat back down in the chair, scooting it even closer so that he could rest his arms on the bed. He let out an exhausted sigh.
Jou sighed as well looking down at his hands. "I'm sorry about Otogi." He wispered, letting one of his many thoughts escape. "I should have payed more attention, and now I'm here costing you money cos I was ignorant."
"So Mokuba told you?"
Jou nodded. "I'm sorry."
"Hey, Otogi's got problems he needs to deal with but none of it's your fault, no matter what he said. It was all a fabrication to get to you."
Jou gulped a little worried. " All of it? "
"Huh?" the blue eyed teen blinked.
" Everything he said, none of it was true? Even about you?" Jou looked into those beautiful eyes, serching for an answer that he didn't expect Seto to admit.
Seto visibly bit down on his tounge before averting his eyes. "Not everything..."
"Seto." Jou's voice became stronger.
"What?"
Jou quickly grabbed onto the others hands, entwining them. "I love you."
