He came to somewhat later. He found it hard to concentrate. It was like swimming in really thick water. He could feel the surface but he had to struggle to it. Someone was talking near him. He thought he could make a few words out too but he didn't really feel the need to wake up right now.
"...cleaned...infection...old abrasions" Hmm...perhaps he was at a hospital?
"Oh"
That brought Kagami almost back to full consciousness. Only one person went 'Oh' like that. Keeping his eyes closed, preferring to allow them to think he was still unconscious. Tendou was probably going to give him a lecture or something if he found out he was awake.
"Just make sure the young man rests up. His body seems to be suffering from extreme fatigue. The shot I gave him should at least help him fight the fever, but it's probably going to reach its peak tonight. He's going to have a rough time. Have him drink plenty of fluids." Ah, Tendou must have dragged him to a clinic or something.
"I understand. Thank you for making a house call at such a late hour, Hirofumi-sensei"
House call? Was he in his own apartment? He didn't recall his futon being so comfy. And when did Tendou know where he lived?
"Nonsense! I am the Tendous' family doctor, after all! Please, give my regards to your grandmother." It sounded like Dr. Hirofumi was leaving; his voice was getting further away. They both left the room and Kagami thought he heard muffled goodbyes before...the front door was shut??
Kagami opened his eyes. Closed them. Opened them again. Everything was blurred. He raised his hands to rub at them. Swearing at the sudden pain at his side, Kagami stiffened to try and counter the sensation by not moving a muscle. Slowly lowering his arms, he took stock of his body's current condition. It felt as if he was a mass of bruises and scrapes. Carefully moving his hand to his chest, he realized he was wearing a set of cotton pajamas. Patting carefully, he realized that there were bandages wrapped around his chest beneath the clothing. There were also a few on his arms. Just how badly had he been injured? He felt sickly warm and he was having trouble keeping his eyes more than half-mast; he was exhausted.
"What a foolish fellow"
Kagami winced a bit as he turned his half lidded gaze to Tendou who was now standing at the door to whatever room he was in.
"You have injuries all over your body. Why are you squirming about?" Tendou said this in a voice that seemed to call doubts about Kagami's intelligence.
He opened his mouth to demand an explanation but found his voice cracked so terribly it came out more like a squawk of indignation. Coughing and squirming at the pain even that small movement caused, Kagami was surprised to see a glass of water with a straw in it being held in front of him. Tendou was looking down at him with an unreadable expression. Kagami held his stare for a moment before carefully latching onto the straw with his teeth and sipping the cool liquid. Much better. He looked up at Tendou, eyes barely able to keep open.
In his low, soft voice Tendou answered the questions Kagami had been attempting to ask. His eyes drifted curiously around the room as he listened to what had happened after he had passed out. Tendou had assessed his injuries and deemed them non-life threatening. It had also been more convenient to bring him here rather than sit with an unconscious man on top of him in a hospital waiting room. Dr. Hirofumi was a family friend that lived down the street. He was currently in one of the Tendou household's guest rooms. It was at that point that Tendou paused in his story, causing Kagami to look at him questioningly. Apparently Tendou wanted his full attention for what he was saying next. Well, he'd have to make it quick because sleep was already dragging him back to dreamland.
"Obaachan said...one's body is the temple for the mind. The grounds should be kept up"
Kagami made a noise like a snort before passing back into unconsciousness.
Tendou sighed.
