Kaoru's POV
I wonder how many days I've been sitting here in this wretched bed. I think my butt's gone numb, since I don't move from this spot . They don't trust me to get up at all, it's actually really embarrassing. They insist on washing me off in bed and they have this rolling sink to wash my hair in. I hate it, I just want to move, besides I'm going to have to learn someday, won't I? Isn't it best to learn here since there are doctors to attend to me if I injure myself? You'd think they'd insist on me walking so they can get rid of me.
"Neh, Kaoru, Ayaka's coming to check up on you. Usually she lets you do as you please, hint hint…"
My brother is a genius! I've never actually thought about asking Ayaka to let me move…I would have yesterday, but for some reason she didn't see me. It was that old woman that gives me the chills. I heard a click of the door and I put on my best smile. The one that makes all the girls crazy back at the host club.
"My, my it seems somebody is in a good mood today."
"Yep, I'm even in the mood to get started on my walking! Can I? Pllleeeaaassseee?????"
"Hmm, I'm not so sure, I think I need to check on it with the doctors…"
"Aw, Ayaka-san please? I'm blind, not paralyzed. I still have my legs , and they're tired of just sitting here every day and night."
I heard her sigh and she left the room.
"What's she doing?"
"I think she's going to let you, she was smiling when she left the room…"
And sure enough , just like Hikaru said, she came in with an approval.
"Alright, I give in, none of the serious doctors are on this floor anyway. Besides, I think you were scheduled to do therapy tomorrow, what's a day early going to do, right?"
I nodded , it's about time I'm able to move!
"Alright, swing your legs to the left , Hikaru, he'll probably want you helping him more than me, so I need you to come over here and hold him by his arm."
I followed her orders and when I felt Hikaru's hands on my arm I climbed out of bed. I felt like odd as I leant most of my weight on Hikaru. It was hard to stand since I wasn't used to it.
"Don't worry, it's normal to have that effect. Just stand here for awhile and bend your knees to get the blood rushing through them ."
After awhile I actually was able to stand on my own. Alright, I have one thing down, now I just need to walk!
"Okay, follow my voice, I'll lead you around the hallway, but only on this floor okay? I don't want to risk you getting injured by the elevator door or something! So just once around here and your back to bed , got it! You're lucky you're even getting to do this!"
I nodded…I knew I was going to have a hard time already , I knew she was right about getting hurt…. Oh well, I'll eventually be able to walk wherever…I hope…
Hikaru's POVI felt horrible for Kaoru as I watched him reaching in front of himself in case there was a wall or something. I think he was doing this now because after hitting himself , twice, on a wall he wasn't going to do it again. I admit it was pretty amusing, but painful at the same time. I was definitely going to have to put pads on the walls at home , or better yet, give this boy a helmet! I might have to put up gates so he doesn't fall down the stairs… I'll have to ask Ayaka about all of this later. Meanwhile, I need to lead Kaoru back to his room. Ayaka had to be called over to help with the surgery so it was just me. I grabbed his hands and wrapped them around my waist.
"Just follow me, okay?"
It was like the train thing we used to do when we were little. He would usually be the caboose and I'd be the lead and he'd put his arms around me and just walk behind me, no matter where I went. I felt his head lean onto my back.
"Worn out?"
His head nodded on me.
"We're almost to your room, so you can rest when we get there, alright?"
"Yea…."
"Something else is wrong…what is it?"
I slowed down my tracks as I waited for a response.
"Do….do you think I'll be alright and get better?"
I paused to think about that answer. I know it's rare , but if I think it'll happen hard enough and just stay positive, then shouldn't things work out?
"I'm not…sure, but I think you'll be just fine…."
"Yeah, your right…."
"Of course I am, since when aren't I?"
"Since we got to English class…"
"Hey! I can't help I get bored in that class and don't pay attention!"
There was that laugh that I cherished. I smiled and turned right to his room.
"We're here. I'll set you on the bed alright?"
He nodded and I picked him up bridal style and lied him on his bed.
"Hey Hikaru, can you do something for me?"
"Of course…what is it?"
"Can you lie down in bed with me? I miss not having you with me…"
I smirked and pulled the covers over so I could fit under them with him.
"Of course…" I kissed his cheek and played with his hair. His body was curled next to mine, his arm around my waist, pulling me close, like a teddy bear. "Now go to sleep…" Even as I said that, his eyes were closed and his breathing became longer.
This moment was perfect….. I wish it could be like this forever…..
Bokura: Dun Dun Dun, I told you it wouldn't be long. I'm sorry!!!! I really am , but ya know I can't help that , I felt it was right to end it like that, hehhheh it could just be a clue…maybe..maybe not! Guess it depends on what you think huh? Haha well I'm going to go but you shall stay and review with all your might!!!!
