(A/N: See? I told you I'd have it on monday! :P Anyway, I don't think I'll be as busy as I've been on other weeks so I'll just try to finish this A.S.A.P, and now that I see it, it might be longer than 3 chapters, probably 4, maybe 5 if it gets too long, but they're short chapters! That's how I have them sooner T.T Pathetic, right? Anyway, I hope you really enjoy reading this as much as I got thrilled when writing it. ^.^)



You Must Survive!

Chapter 2

"I'm not sick, Hiro-san, I just have a small cough."

"The hell you do!" Nowaki hadn't had the time to completely wake up before Hiroki took his arm and pulled them both out of the house. He had really taken the Swine Flu news on TV seriously, and they were now heading to the hospital so that Nowaki could get a check-up.

"Hiro-san, there's no need for any of this," he said, covering his mouth to suppress another cough.

"W- What do you mean 'there's no need'! J- Just look at you!" Hiroki blushed hardly. Oh, the evil and sweet embarrassment! He was acting like his mom did (and still did) when he was a kid! But he couldn't afford having Nowaki sick with the recent plague going around.

On the other hand, Nowaki smiled to himself. He was amazingly happy about the fact that Hiro-san was going through so much trouble to make sure he was okay. Although he knew it already, he was glad that Hiro-san could show him how much he loved him, even if it was just with a small action. He brought a hand up to his forehead; his lover had been right, he did have a fever.

"Oh, hello, may I help you…?" said a nurse that approached them as soon as they walked inside the hospital.

"K- Kamijou," said Hiroki. The woman nodded. "Yes, uh…" he pushed Nowaki in front of him. "H- He needs to be checked on! H- He has a cold and w- we want to make sure it's nothing s- serious!" How weirdly everybody was staring at him! He hoped that they could finish soon so that they could get out of there as soon as possible!

"Of course!" said the nurse. "What's your name?"

"Kusama Nowaki," answered the blue-eyed.

"All right, Kamijou-san, a doctor will check on him right now, sir!"

"H- How long will it take?" he asked a bit nervous.

"Just a few minutes," she answered, turning to Nowaki. "Please follow me, Kusama-san," Nowaki turned back to Hiro-san, pecked his forehead, and followed the nurse.

Hiroki had about three seconds to realize what had just happened.

"Y- YOU IDIOT! Don't do that in public!" he yelled, his cheeks pink again, while his lover just chuckled. Stupid Nowaki, just because he was sick, it didn't mean that he could do anything he wanted! If he'd been lucky, nobody had noticed, but still!

-

"Kamijou-san?" The nurse soon came back; Hiroki stood up from the chair he was sitting at.

"H- How is he?" he questioned, not wanting to hear bad news.

"In fact, Kusama-san has a cold, but it's fortunately nothing serious," she responded. Hiroki let out a relieved sigh. Thank God Nowaki was all right. "The doctor gave him some pills, and if he follows the instructions he was given, Kusama-san should be good as new in very few days!" Nowaki was suddenly in front of him. Hiroki scrutinized him; he somehow looked better, actually, so probably it was just a minor cold that would leave in a bit of time. "Thank you for everything," he said to the nurse before he and Hiroki made their way out of the hospital.

-

"Hiro-san, would you like to go to the park with me?" asked Nowaki, as he tried to hold Hiro-san's hand. Kamijou the Devil blushed when his fingers were interlaced with his lover's, but he made no move to pull them apart; he was glad that Nowaki wasn't seriously ill.

"S- Sure," he responded to the blue-eyed's question.

"Thank you, Hiro-san!" cried Nowaki happily. He looked so much like a child that sometimes Hiroki looked as if he was his mother, like some hours before. "Can we go tomorrow? I don't have the afternoon shift either! Oh… but, do you have to work tomorrow?"

"Eh? N- No, it's my free day," answered Hiroki, which made his companion grin widely.

"Hiro-san, we can have a picnic!"

"A picnic?"

"Yes! We can buy some groceries and snacks and put them in a basket and have a picnic on the park!" Hiroki couldn't help remembering the day when they'd first met. Nowaki had prepared a rocket launching for this old man that wanted to be an astronaut, and he had seen him crying, and so it all began. He couldn't help to frown yet smile to no one but himself. He was actually thankful for that day. "Hiro-san?"

"Ha? Oh, right, yeah, what you said," replied the brunet, not actually knowing what Nowaki had been talking about. "S- Sorry, what were you saying?"

"Never mind," smiled Nowaki. "I'm just really happy that Hiro-san agreed to have a picnic with me!"

"Idiot, o- of course I'd agree!" There went his pride to the floor once more. How could his lover's smile so easily tear it in pieces?! It frustrated him, but he also knew that he would like it no other way.

-

The next day, after Nowaki had taken the pills the doctor had given him, both he and his Hiro-san left to the park, with a basket full of some snacks and groceries. He was almost jumping around, babbling non-stopping "nonsense" about spending the day together and whatnot. Hiroki could've had a heart attack. He would somehow always say yes to Nowaki, or at least most of the time. If the blue-eyed was happy, he was happy too.

Not that he would say it aloud, but still; Nowaki should know already. The brunet was the first one to get to the top of one of the park's small hills. There was no other person there, so they had it all to themselves.

"So, Nowaki, is this good for you?" He stared at the panoramic in front of him. It looked like a really nice place to have a picnic. But something was wrong. Nowaki hadn't answered his question. "Nowaki?" Hiroki turned around, and his eyes widened in shock.

Nowaki was down on his knees, both of his hands on his throat, and he was coughing as if choking.

"H- Hiro-san, I can't b- breathe!" he coughed. "H- Hiro-san!" His lover knelt down next to him and, taking out his cell phone, called an ambulance; he had quite some trouble with it: his hands were trembling with fear, and he dialed the number about four times before doing it right.

"I- I need an a- ambulance at the park t- two blocks away f- from M- Mitsuhashi University!" he cried into the phone, trying to help Nowaki get up by placing an arm around his waist. "My lover's choking because of a cold!" he yelled, not caring about who heard or saw him. He was about to break down in tears now, and Nowaki…! His pride could just go to hell and never come back and he wouldn't care less. All he cared about was getting Nowaki to the hospital, safe and sound...

And alive.


(A/N: O.O OH NOES! Poor, poor Nowaki! What will happen to him?!?! Shit, that last sentence gives me the creeps 3X if I don't have this tomorrow, I'll have it on wednesday or thrusday, I hope, it depends on how school behaves with us x.O in any case, REVIEW!! Pwease, I'm begging you! T.T Review if you wanna know what happens to Nowaki-kun!!

BTW, when I asked my mom how bad the influenza thing was, she told me, "It's like a cough, a normal cold, 'kay? But... well, with the swine flu, you cough so much that you literally choke," and I was like O-O!! And then we ehard on the news that "it doesn't look so bad at first, nothing serious. You get some pills, take them for about 24 hours, then it gets worse, then you get to the hospital, and then it's too late to save you." So, there you go, the first part happened here. NOWAKI-KUN!! D=!!! REVIEW!! Pwease!! T^T)
