Silent Love
Chapter 6
Shun lay in his own bed; Ikki had said he would watch Hyoga tonight.
'I guess I didn't feel his presence because I was too preoccupied with Hyoga, that's the only explanation. But why is he here, did Athena send him?'
He fell asleep pondering this.
Ikki sat on a chair next to Hyoga's bed, watching him. He couldn't take his eyes off him.
In the middle of the night Hyoga became restless again; trying to leave the bed, attempting to escape it's warmth. But Ikki was still awake, and managed to catch him when he almost fell out of the bed. He tried to put him back down on the bed, but Hyoga seemed to have his mind set on leaving it. It was a struggle, and when Ikki finally managed to get him to lie down again, he started coughing. So he went to get him some water.
He heard a thump and rushed back to find Hyoga lying on his side on the floor, holding his chest, coughing even more. Shun had told him to rub Hyoga's back if he started coughing, so he knelt down beside him and slowly rubbed his back. Hyoga gradually stopped, breathing heavily. Ikki picked him up and put him back on the bed. He helped Hyoga sit up, his arm holding up his back, and then held the glass of water to his lips, trying to get him to drink it. He tilted Hyoga's head back slightly and started to let the water flow into his mouth. This, his eyes opened slightly, took Hyoga aback but he managed to swallow the water. Some of it had missed his mouth, but he didn't mind at all; it cooled his face.
Ikki put the glass on the bedside cabinet.
Hyoga tried to open his eyes fully, he swayed a little. But Ikki steadied him.
"Is everything Ok?" Shun asked, standing in the doorway.
"Uh-" Ikki started, but was interrupted.
"Shun?" Hyoga said. He squinted trying to see the room, he seemed confused.
"I'm here," Shun said, rushing over to him, he took Hyoga's hand in his.
Hyoga seemed to calm down now that Shun was holding his hand.
"What's wrong? Do you want something?" Shun asked him. But Hyoga didn't reply.
He turned to his brother.
"What happened?"
"He fell out of bed," Ikki said as casually as he could.
"You were supposed to be watching him!" He sighed."Ok I'll watch him for the rest of the night,"
"But-"
"You can sleep in my bed,"
Ikki looked down at the floor. "Sorry," was all he said before he left the room.
Shun knew it wasn't his brother's fault, and regretted shouting at him, but he was really worried about Hyoga and he couldn't think about anything else.
Shun who had replaced his brother and was holding up Hyoga's back, noticed the glass.
"Do you want some more water?"
Hyoga swayed his head sideways placing it on Shun's shoulder.
Shun, who was surprised for a moment, then began to stroke Hyoga's hair. They stayed like that until Shun was sure that Hyoga was completely asleep again, and then he lay him back down on the bed and arranged the covers.
He leaned back on his wooden chair, which creaked every time he moved. It wasn't exactly as comfortable as his bed, but it was bearable as long as he was with Hyoga.

PLEASE READ!
Sorry if this chapter took a little while, but like I said before I lost all my work when our old computer crashed and we bought a new one.
Yes this is a family computer, which means I have limited access most of the time.
Also I would like to apologise if the next chapters take a while, cos I had the past two weeks off school (it's complicated) and I spent every day of those two weeks on the computer, reading or writing fanfiction (I am writing other stuff -) and I managed to get RSI (repetitive strain injury) from typing and clicking, whatever, and so my hand/arm really hurts, even now this is really painful, so it might take a while... -'
Feel my pain...
Thankyou SOOO much for your reviews, reviews are the only reason I ever update this -!
By the way, Kuroi-Sakurapetals if you read this I'd just like to say I really like your 'Sanctuary High' story and I hope you update soon! -
