I'm Sorry, Omi
Chapter 6
Here we are again. Please enjoy and review when you're done reading, thank you!
After being poked and prodded for close to two hours in various white rooms, Koaru was finally able to lie in a bed and let himself relax. He knew the doctor was going to come in a talk to him about what had happened but he didn't want to think about it yet. He thought about Omi, his face and his eyes and his arms around him. He never felt safer when he was with Omi, he wasn't just his boyfriend or lover, he was his best friend. If it wasn't for Omi's support during this whole thing, even when he had no idea what was happening, Kaoru was sure he wouldn't have been able to take it.
He was allowed about ten minutes before he heard the curtain rustle and he looked up to see the doctor and the nurse there. He sighed and sat up slowly, looking at them
"Hi, Kaoru-kun, I know you're exhausted and in pain but we need to speak to you." The doctor said, walking over to him.
"Can I have some painkillers, please?" he asked and the nurse nodded. She went to his left-hand side, hanging up an IV bag and hooking it up to the connection in his arm. Once this was finished, she stepped back and the doctor continued.
"I'm going to get straight to the point on this, Kaoru-kun. You have internal bruising, some anal tearing and lacerations and a mild concussion. We also found traces of Flunitrazepam - also known as 'Rohypnol' in your blood; do you know what that is?" Kaoru shook his head, frowning slightly "It's commonly called the 'date rape drug', used for drug facilitated sexual assault. It can have sedative, hypnotic, dissociative and amnesiac effects, which is most likely why you don't remember what happened."
"He…he drugged me..? But how?"
"It's usually put into food or drink without the victim's knowledge. Did you eat or drink anything this man gave to you?" Kaoru frowned, trying to think, then his eyes widened
"The sake. He's offered me sake every time and I'd always refused…until today.." he mumbled. The doctor nodded, writing this down "So…he's been trying drug me every time?"
"Maybe, we can't be sure. When you woke up, did you feel dizzy or nauseas?" he asked
"Yes…dizzy, certainly…confused, anxious…the last thing I remember was being on his desk and-…" he took a deep breath, stopping the threatening tears "woke up at home in bed…"
"And your boyfriend, Omi Shichijo, said Mr Nakamahara called him to pick you up because you'd been mugged, is that correct?" Kaoru nodded, looking down "What's the last thing you remember before you woke up at home? Try to recall everything, what saw, felt, heard.."
"He…was inside me, I could hear him…grunting and panting…my head felt sort of heavy, and like my eyes were going blurry, my mouth was dry and I felt sick. It hurt so much and I just…I just wanted it to stop, it felt so wrong… I know I was crying but I don't think he noticed. I was always just his toy, he never made any attempt to give me any pleasure…" he sighed shakily, trying to stop the tears fall. "Can I have, um, a glass of water, please?" he asked, glancing at the doctor. He nodded
"Of course, Kaoru, absolutely. Nurse?" Kaoru heard the nurse say sure and leave "I know this is difficult for you, Kaoru, we're very grateful for your statement."
"Do you need to know anymore? I want to see Omi.." he said, the tears truly threatening to fall now. The doctor nodded again with a smile
"I think we're done for now, I just need you to take this medication and I'll send for Omi." He said gently and Kaoru nodded. The nurse returned holding a plastic cup of cool water and Kaoru thanked her, sipping it then taking the three white pills the doctor gave him. He lay back when the two of them left, the nurse going to get Omi and the doctor going to his other patients. He could feel the painkillers working, making him feel lighter and less…everything.
Omi sat in the sterile white room for two and a half hours, half watching the door Kaoru had been taken through. He'd been staring at the same car advert in a magazine for over 20 minutes when he heard his name called. He looked up to see the nurse from before smiling at him. He stood up quickly, dropping the magazine, and went over to her
"Is he ok? Can I see him?"
"He's going to be fine - we're going to keep him overnight for observation but he can go home tomorrow." He nodded, relieved but eager to see Kaoru "Follow me, he wants to see you." She said and he nodded. They walked through the doors and down a long corridor, turning left then right and finally came to their destination. It was one of the ER wards, containing all manner of injuries and conditions. The nurse led Omi through the ward and finally stopped in front of a bed with the curtains drawn around it. She swept these apart and stood aside to let Omi in.
Kaoru was lying on his back in the hospital bed, wearing a pale blue gown and covered in the clean, crisp sheets. There was a drip in his left arm but apart from that, he could have been asleep at home. Omi went over and the big green eyes opened, a smile breaking onto the pale face
"Hey.." he said softly, raising his hand to Omi. Omi smiled and took it gently, sitting down beside him.
"Hi, baby, how are you feeling?" he asked, stroking his hair off his forehead
"Happy.." he said, smiling dreamily.
"He's been given fairly powerful painkillers so he's gonna be pretty chilled out for a while." The nurse explained with a smile, standing by the curtain
"Oh ok…" Omi said and looked back at Kaoru, still smiling so sweetly. "You haven't smiled in a while.." he said softly, holding his hand with a small smile. Kaoru nodded, moving his hand to cup Omi's cheek
"Are you ok?" he asked. Omi's smile grew and he nodded, holding Kaoru's hand against his own face
"Yeah, baby, I'm ok. I'm glad you're ok too.." he said, using small words for Kaoru's sake. Kaoru's long, graceful fingers were very gently stroking the hair just above Omi's ear, giving him a huge sense of tranquility and he knew he would be ok. He could see Kaoru was getting sleepy so he gently took his hand, kissed his palm and placed it back down on the mattress "I gotta go now, baby. Get some sleep, ok? I'll come back and see you tomorrow morning so we can go home together." Kaoru nodded
"Ok…night.." he said, his eyes immediately drifting shut. Omi was about to leave, thinking Kaoru had fallen asleep when he looked up again at him "I love you, Omi.." he said, smiling quietly. Omi grinned and leaned down, hugging him carefully and kissing him.
"I love you too, Kaoru. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?" Kaoru nodded and they kissed again before Omi smiled at the nurse and she nodded, leading him back out to the waiting room. "What time can I see him tomorrow?" he asked her
"Visiting hours start at 9 am, he can go home after 11." She replied then said goodbye and went off. He sighed and called the officers from before to pick him up.
"Hi, it's Omi Shichijo, I'm done - they want to keep Kaoru overnight."
"Ok, kid, sit tight and we'll be there in ten."
"Great, thanks." He said and sat back down in the waiting room. His mind was lighter than before, knowing Kaoru was safe and on the mend.
