Almost done lol. Just a little longer.

Two days passed. Hiroshi sat by his friend's bed, making sure a certain Prince didn't get to close. It was also practice for when he was a doctor.

Suguru walked in. The two made eye contact and both smiled.

Hiro held a hand out, pulling Suguru onto his lap.

"I'm sorry you lost your job." Suguru kissed Hiroshi's lips.

"It's fine. I start school next week so I can stay here with Shuichi till."

Suguru rested his head on Hiro's chest, looking at Shuichi. "Will you come visit me when you can?"

"Every minute I'm not studying."

Tilting his head he looked up at Hiroshi. "Bad news though…" he paused. "Tohma wants us to go back home. He gave me the choice to stay, but my school is back home."

"We won't be able to see each other…" Hiro held him close. "You live a distance away. When do you leave?"

"Two days," he said as kissed Hiro's lips again.

Hiroshi smiled. "Then we have two days do have all the fun we can."

"Get a room," Shuichi mumbled, rolling his head.

Hiroshi smiled, seeing his friends violet eyes. "Glad to see you're back from the dead, Shu."

Suguru pulled from Hiro's arms. "I'll leave you two alone."

But Hiro refused to let him go farther than arms reach.

"Hiro…"

Shuichi tried to smile but his body was still sore. "Stay Suguru. I might fall…" It was too late. Shuichi was already asleep again.

"I-is he alright?" Suguru asked, looking at Shuichi's monitors.

Smiling Hiroshi pulled the teen back to his lap. "It's the medicine they have him on. He'll be drifting in and out for a while now. That's the second conversation I've actually had with his this morning." He crushed his lips to Suguru refusing to let him go.

Suguru straddled Hiroshi, pressing their pelvises together.

"We have another hour or two," he whispered as they both gasped for air.

"What if a doctor walks in," Suguru whispered as he started licking and sucking on Hiroshi's neck.

They paused. "I didn't even think about that. You're so cute you distracted me." He thought a moment. "Think we can make it up to your room?"

Suguru shook his head.

"You horny little kid."

"It's your fault."

"You're right. Now let's move it," Hiroshi said as he stood.

Eiri watched from around the corner as Hiroshi and Suguru ran from the room, up the stairs. That should buy me some time, he thought as he walked into the makeshift hospital room. He stood at the end of the bed, staring up at Shuichi for a bit. Shuichi… Tears began to roll down his cheeks. After a minute he walked to the seat next to his bed.

Reaching up, he grabbed Shuichi's hand.

"Hmy…" Shuichi mumbled.

"I'm sorry Shuichi." A laugh escaped his lips. "All I seem to do is apologize to you, don't I?"

"Yeah…" Shuichi whispered.

Eiri looked up at him not bothering to wipe the tears away. "You're awake?"

"For the minute…" he looked down at his left hand. First it loosened, than tightened around the Princes.

"Do you want me to leave?"

Shuichi shook his head.

"I'll stay then."

Shuichi felt tears roll down his face, falling into his ears. "Please never leave."

Surprise was apparent on Eiri's face. "I won't. I'll be here when you wake up again, Shuichi."

"Thanks…" he said as he drafted back out again.

Eiri reached up and kissed Shuichi's lips.

"You stayed…" Shuichi whispered as Eiri lifted his head.

"You were only out for thirty seconds."

This time it was Shuichi who laughed. "Ever hear the story of Sleep Beauty?"

Eiri shook his head as he sat back down.

"A witch cursed a baby girl after she was born. Her parents thought sending her away would stop the curse, but it didn't. She lay asleep until her Prince came and woke her up with true loves first kiss." He smiled. "And you just woke me up with a kiss."

"Wasn't our first though," Eiri pointed out plainly.

Shuichi leaned his head to the side. "Maybe it was. It was our first kiss where our feelings were out in the open for the other to know."

Eiri raised an eye brow. "What drugs do they have you on, brat?"

Shuichi laughed, closing his eyes.

"You aren't going to fall asleep are you?"

"I'm tired but I don't want to fall asleep. I don't want to open my eyes and see you gone."

"Shuichi, answer me honestly. Do you hate me for what I did?" Eiri asked as he ran his left hand from Shuichi's neck to his stomach.

"No, I love you."

"I love you too." Eiri bit his tongue. What was it about this kid that made him wear his emotions on his sleeve? "Hurry up and get better."

He nodded. "I know I'm no fun when I'm stuck in a bed."

Eiri shook his head. "Can I get you anything?"

Shuichi opened his eyes a bit. "I'm fine thanks."

"Hey Shu, I have a question. When you're better, will you stay with me?" Eiri asked as he sat on the edge of the bed.

"I can't. I have to help me family. I have to go to work tomorrow."

Another laugh escaped the Prince's mouth at Shuichi clear loss of time and reality. "We'll talk about this when you're not of so many drugs."

Shuichi nodded, falling back asleep.

"Idiot," he smiled as he looked over the teen. Carefully he lay next to Shuichi, making sure he didn't hit any of the teen's injuries.

Mika looked at Tohma who slept silently next to her. It had been a long time since she actually felt safe next to him.

He's like he was when we first met, she thought, kissing his cheek.

Tohma clamped his eyes shut, mumbling something in his sleep.

Mika smiled, lying next to him.

"Hey…" he said with a yawn.

She looked up at him. "Did I wake you?"

"No my Princess," he smiled. "But the dream I had did." He sat up, pulling Mika with him. "Did you get a full nights rest?"

She laid her head on his chest. "Yeah," she whispered. "I love you, Tohma."

"I love you too, Mika. I don't want you to leave me," he said as he tightened his grips on her.

"Be ready when we go home. Many people will talk about the past," she warned.

He kissed the top of her head. "I'm aware. I'm ready to make amends so our child has a positive environment to grow in."

She closed her eyes, thinking about how their life as going to change with the Child around.

Tatsuha sighed. He was bored out of his mind. Thinking about it now, he wished he hadn't given Ryuichi up. But it made him happy to know Ryuichi was happy now.

Now what was he going to do? He was bored as ever and had no one to take the frustration out on.

"I could always go to the clubs and find someone…" He sighed.

He looked up as the door opened.

"Tats," Ryuichi said as he shut the door behind him.

His jaw dropped when he saw what the former singer was wearing. What could you expect when someone walked in a room wearing only a t-shirt and short shorts?

"What…"

"Listen Tats, Aiyana and I talked it over, and we decided you can have two hours. I mean, you let me go after the incident last week, but…" he blushed as he looked down as his bare feet.

Tatsuha broke out laughing. "Ryuichi, you don't have to do this if you don't want to. I was fine to see you happy," he said with a smile.

"No, I owe you. And since I have no money…" he decided to start walking up to the chair where Tatsuha sat. Getting on his knees he pulled on the younger's jeans. "This is the only way I know how to pay you back."

"Sex addict," Tatsuha mumbled.

Ryuichi smiled.
