AND COMMENCE THE PLOT TWISTING! I bet you didn't see this coming! :P
Usagi had spent another restless night on a spare bed in Misaki's hospital room. In the two weeks since Misaki's accident, Usagi had barely slept. Takahiro had tried several times to get him to go home, telling him he'd soon be in the hospital himself if he didn't get some sleep, but Usagi refused. He didn't want to leave Misaki's side.
Sitting in the chair next to Misaki's bed, Usagi reached over and brushed a strand of hair away from the young man's eyes.
"I love you, Misaki," he said quietly, his hand caressing Misaki's pale cheek. "Please don't leave me. I need you." He watched Misaki's face for any reaction, any sign that inside the lifeless body, he was still there. After a moment, Usagi sighed and stood up. It wouldn't hurt to get some breakfast and there had been no changes….
"U-sag-i-san…"
Startled, Usagi looked back down at Misaki; he was the same as before, pale with no signs of life except for the slight rise and fall of his chest and the beeping of the monitors around him. But he could have sworn…
He turned to press the button that would call the nurse, but before he pressed it, he heard It again.
"Usagi-san…"
Usagi looked again and this time he saw: Misaki's lips were moving! He jabbed the call button repeatedly, never taking his eyes from Misaki's face, hoping against hope that it would happen again. A nurse burst into the room in a panic.
"Usami-san, what is the matter?" She went over to the machines and checked them all. "There's nothing abnormal here….what happened?"
"H-he spoke," Usagi answered, still not taking his eyes from Misaki's face. "I was talking to him and he said my name…"
"Really?" She stuck her head out in the hall and called to someone. A moment later a doctor came in. They proceeded to check Misaki over, going over the machine readouts again and again. Usagi watched from the foot of the bed.
"Misaki…."
"Stop it!" Misaki suddenly yelled out. His eyes flew open, then fluttered closed again. The heart monitor beeped uncontrollably for a moment, then settled back into it's steady rhythm as Misaki returned to his lifeless state. The doctor looked over the machine readouts once again.
"My guess, Usami-san," he said, turning to address Usagi. "Is that he is dreaming. Sometimes when people are in comas, they can be having a dream that to them seems completely real. He might have just been reacting to something in his dream. But we'll be keeping a closer watch on him; it's possible that he could be coming out of it."
"Thank you, Doctor," Usagi said. The doctor and the nurse left the room and Usagi returned to his seat by Misaki's bed. He took Misaki's hand in his and squeezed it gently. He was sure that Misaki had been reacting to what he had said, and if he could hear him then he would be able to hear him now.
"Wake up, Misaki. Everyone is waiting for you…"
Well, did you see that coming? Haha! Thanks for reading and please review! :)
