Chapter 8:
"Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss."
Louis Armstrong
If there was one thing that Hisoka hated most, it had to be white rooms but the problem was that he seemed to have made a habit of visiting them after joining this school.
As he opened his eyes and saw the pure white ceiling, he shuddered in fear and his heart began to race.
It was somewhat stupid perhaps; however it was something he couldn't control.
The people speaking in hushed voices didn't help either as it was a painful reminder of his past history in similar white rooms.
The awful sickening clean smell…
The fact he was laying down………
He shivered again and heard a 'Hisoka!'
So caught up in his sad memories…
So caught up in the sickening past….
He failed to consider other possibilities, his own childish fear of white rooms getting to him.
"YOU'RE NOT GETTING TO MY TEETH!"
Then there was that nice shocked silence.
"……"
The type when you expect some random person to pass by and say something completely random like 'Nice bra' or 'NOT happy Jane!'
"………"
"Err Bon? Have you been taking any weird drugs?"
Hisoka blinked as he stared at the other people in the room who were next to the nurse's desk.
"…You mean this isn't the dentist?"
The three other people began to nod slowly as Hisoka glanced around.
There was a bed curtain around the bed and beyond the curtain was the other bed which he assumed no one was using since there wasn't any sound. The three people in the room continued to nod which was slightly worrying for Hisoka.
Watari nodded to help calm Hisoka down.
Tsuzuki nodded, wondering if the pills had a side effect.
The nurse nodded and wondered if these two teachers were having a traumatic effect on the students. She walked quickly to Hisoka's bed and felt his forehead.
"Your temperature seems fine but I think you might be suffering from a concussion."
"Nonsense! The boy is fine!" Watari exclaimed waving his hand in the air as if he was dismissing the matter. Tsuzuki backed away slightly from the nurse. The nurse huffed indignantly.
"Sir! I have you know that I studi-."
Watari laughed uneasily.
"Well I better go inform the ice man that Bon's okay, Ja!"
The nurse stared in surprise, "What? Didn't you hear me? The student is still sick!"
Watari just gave a grin before heading for the door, the nurse following in quick pursuit.
Hisoka and Tsuzuki merle stared as Watari and the nurse run off to find Tatsumi tell him of Hisoka's condition.
Tsuzuki turned to face Hisoka with a grin, "Well that was a bit weird, ne?"
Hisoka stared at him uncertain for a few seconds before asking, "Why can't I feel anything?"
'Why can't I feel your emotions?'
"Ah. Well after that incident in the p.e room," Tsuzuki replied as he walked over and took a seat next to Hisoka's bed. "Watari thought you might have had an over-load of other people's emotions becaue you fainted so we brought you here and gave you some of your pills…"
"Oh."
….So they'd..helped him..?
"Is there anything you need, Hisoka?" Tsuzuki inquired politely with a grin.
Wait…where the hell was the 'Soka!' and the obsessive perverting and flirting!
…Not that he was missing it!
Hisoka's eyes narrowed.
"You….what's wrong?"
Tsuzuki looked some-what startled.
"Eh?"
"Don't 'Eh?' me! You're hiding something!" Hisoka accused giving Tsuzuki an annoyed glare.
"There's nothing wrong, Hisoka!" Tsuzuki replied somewhat surprised at the boy's ability. Even without his empathy ability, he was able to read Tsuzuki so easily?
"Watari mentioned something earlier and I can see he's right. Stop acting so weird, I hate people like Watari bugging me about it!" Hisoka exclaimed.
"You…."
Tsuzuki looked at Hisoka somewhat like a kicked lost hurt puppy.
"…You can be on friendly terms with Watari but not with me….?"
Hisoka shifted uncomfortably on the bed, "….What are you on about?"
Tsuzuki merle smiled, "It's nothing Hisoka…"
An image floated into his head from the ordeal with Muraki and Tsuzuki walking in on them. Tsuzuki had looked..really..angry and sad. Perhaps...he thought that he hated him cause of what happened? That he was shutting only him out?
"…Is this about Muraki..?" Hisoka questioned and Tsuzuki grinned sheepishly. Hisoka snorted in disbelief.
Of all thethings!
"Idiot! That stupid perverted bastard was coming on to me!"
Tsuzuki looked startled as Hisoka continued to rant, "Like hell I'd ever go with someone so self-obnoxious sleazy git!"
There was a small silence as Hisoka fumed silently and muttered random things such as 'hate that stupid white coat anyways' and 'idiots being so stupid'.
Tsuzuki blinked and then asked the one question that had been bugging him.
"…Does that mean you're gay?"
"That would explain your girly appearance!" Shouted Bob from the other hospital bed beyond the white curtain. Hisoka got up quickly and pulled back the curtain swiftly to see a wounded Bob on the next bed.
"………."
"You…..were here the whole time?" Tsuzuki asked startled and Hisoka merle snarled darkly. "Come here BOB."
"Awww, unhappy I messed up your gay love making session?" Bob sneered, Tsuzuki merle smiled.
"There's still time for a threesome!"
Thus Bob fainted back onto the bed. "Tsuzuki!" Hisoka scolded him making Tsuzuki blink.
"I was only suggesting, Soka. Besides I wouldn't share you with anyone if were making out anyways." Tsuzuki replied with a cheeky grin.
Hisoka blushed furiously at the comment, "Don't talk about things just so easily like that!"
"Like what?"
"That! Arggh! You're impossible!" Hisoka argued heading towards the door.
"Soka! You forgot your bag!" Tsuzuki called, Hisoka stopped in annoyance and turned back to see a smiling Tsuzuki with his bag.
He stomped back to him and took his bag from Tsuzuki who smiled, "Why don't you smile Soka? It's good for you!"
Hisoka frowned and snorted, "Idiot and my name is HI-SO-KA."
"It's true Soka! Try it!" Tsuzuki grinned and did a thumbs up.
"….You're not going to leave me alone until I do, right?"
Nod. Nod.
"….You're going to keep calling me that stupid name too, aren't you?"
Nod. Nod.
Hisoka sighed wearily and rubbed his forehead as something pecked at his conscience.
It..was somewhat happy like.
Meaning his empathy was returning and he was probably picking up stupid Tsuzuki's emotions.
'Not..really..such a bad thing though.'
"Aww come on! One little smile is all I ask for!" Tsuzuki pleaded and Hisoka gave in.
He smiled.
Tsuzuki turned pale and a mirror cracked. The world went deadly silent as it suffered Hisoka's smile.
Hisoka snorted, his face reverting back to it's usual don't-mess-with-me look and Tsuzuki shook his head in amusement.
"..Good..try Hisoka!" Tsuuki cheered and leaned in, Hisoka blinked startled as Tsuzuki flicked his forehead.
"Next time though try harder! Advice from your cool teacher!" Tsuzuki said with a grin before heading towards the door, Hisoka stood surprised and bewildered for a few seconds before following after Tsuzuki.
"Oi! Stop trying to act so cool! Cause you're not!" Hisoka shouted out as he raced to catch up with the fast walking Tsuzuki who only laughed in response.
