I co-wrote this with one of my best friends, XTAIGAX, one day at school. My plot bunny was going crazy, and Taiga's the only one that can write Hiroki's POV and NOT make him sound like a poof (Even if he is one). She perfectly combines his rage and his immense love for Nowaki in a way I could never achieve.
Warning: There will be smut in later chapters...Lots and Lots of smut...
If you don't like Yaoi, why are you even here? but, needless to say this is GuyxGuy...and no, YAOI is NOT candy. (Even if it is sweet like it)

Shinobu POV-
When I woke up, all I could see was white. Slowly, my sense of sight came back to me, and I saw I was in the nurse's office.
How did I get here?
I thought as I attempted to sit up. Immediately, my head swam and my stomach did a back-flip.
OK, not a good idea...
I groaned as I laid my head back down on the too-soft pillow. At that point, someone must have heard me, because the door opened and the nurse came bustling in. As expected, my father followed her in, looking as though he was ready to punch something.
"How are you feeling Mr. Takatsuki?" the nurse questioned.
"I'm a little drowsy, and my head hurts," I replied smoothly, (not wanting my father to go off on me again for not telling people what I was feeling.)
"Alright, that's fairly common after receiving a slight concussion," she told me, "I'll be right back with some Tylenol."
As she walked out the door, I looked at my father to try and gauge his reaction to this. All I saw was the worry etched into his features.
He must have been really freaked out when he heard.
While I was lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize that the nurse had come back in. But when she tried to hand me a little plastic cup with two long white pills, I snapped back to reality.
Taking the pills and a cup of water from her, I sat up and quickly swallowed the contents of the cup and placed them on the side table. Seeing this, the nurse nodded sharply, pleased with my reaction, and left the room again, this time through a different door.
When I looked at my father again, he met my game and started to walk towards me. Before I could say anything, he placed his hand on my head and ruffled my hair.
"I'm glad you're alright." he mumbled as he walked out the same door that the nurse had moments before.
...Well, that was awkward...I hope Miyagi comes to get me soon...
That was the last thing I conscientiously thought before I curled back up and fell asleep.
Hiroki POV-
When I came home that day, I was practically screaming in my mind.
Those damn kids! Just because they were so weak...I got suspended from my job!...It probably won't be just a suspension! They'll fire me!
"Oh God...," I whispered.
The wind picked up as I reached my house.
"I'll be fired..."
Stumbling into my shared apartment home, I moved into he corner. Nowaki shouldn't be home, so I think maybe...just...this one time...
I started crying, much to my dismay. (Even though I considered the thought, it didn't mean I wanted to!) Wiping away the tears, the start of a headache already attacked me. I grumbled as they kept flowing despite my efforts.
What will I do if...if I do get fired? Lit-literature is...is...is my life...I can't do that!
To my horror, I almost screamed that. Suddenly, my mind felt like it was melting, and I couldn't help but let the pessimistic thoughts run loose. My thoughts had a repetitive style of
I can't so that!...I couldn't live with that!...What would happen?...Who would replace me?
And the worst thought of all, even though I didn't want to admit it, just kept playing in my mind. The firmer thoughts just did a lazy rotation, but this one...it just...kept swirling around in rapid circles and screeched at me...
What would happen to Nowaki?...What would he think?
I didn't notice the door open and close, and I didn't notice when he heard my wet and slurred gasps and sobs. I realized soon afterward, though, that someone was standing behind me, and I stifled my whimpers to glance behind me.
"No-Nowaki...," I managed to say through my hiccups
"Hiro-san?" he questioned, his dark powdered eyes eying my entire being before looking straight into my tear soaked eyes.
Before I could get a word out to explain, or even wipe away my tears, he had dropped all of his bags and grabbed me in a crushing bear hug. The idiot I call my lover didn't realize this, but he just made me cry harder. I grasped at his shirt and sniffled once more.
"You idiot..." I mumbled.
"Hiro-san, what's wrong?" he asked quietly, his hot breath flowing through my hair. I almost shivered and shook my head.
"I just...Nowaki...I'm sorry..."
I felt Nowaki tense from this and he asked,
"Hiro-san?"
I shook my head and gripped his shirt tighter, refusing to let him see me in such a weak state.
"I just...my job...I don't know...how to explain it..."
Nowaki relaxed considerably, and he laughed. He laughed at the fact that I had lost a reason to live! My jaw slacked and if I could see myself in a mirror, I'd be laughing at myself.
"N-Never mind!"
I pushed away from him and headed to the bedroom for a change of clothes. I stopped, foot still in mid-air, as he grabbed my hand.
"Hiro-san." he said once again in that husky tome of his.
Damn you, husky Nowaki tones.
Misaki POV-
The first thing I saw when I woke up were two deep pools of amethyst. They seemed to be staring straight into my soul as they widened, realizing their subject had awoken.
"Misaki," a deep bass whispered, as if the owner couldn't believe his eyes.
A blush covered my face as I remembered what had happened.
Usagi came all the way out here for me?...no...that damn slacker is probably just trying to avoid his deadline again.
I immediately pushed him away, not wanting for anyone else to see us like that.
"Ahhh...you're awake too! That's great!" the nurse exclaimed upon entering the room, "Are you in any pain?"
"Not really...my stomach aches, but that's probably because I forgot to eat this morning."
I could practically feel Usagi's glare on me when I said that. But I was running late and he was in his study, so I didn't see much of a point of making breakfast.
"Alright, then...I assume Usami-san can get you something to eat?" her question was met with a stiff nod, "OK, then you're free to leave. Just be sure to eat something."
"Kay, thank you!" I said cheerfully as I sat up and attempted to fix my hair.
The nurse just nodded in response and grabbed a bottle of pills and a couple cups from a cupboard by the door. Then, she went back through the door she came through.
"Come on," Usagi said, throwing my jacket on my head.
Oh great...Today's going to be hell. I thought. I only wish I hadn't been right.
Sorry I didn't upload sooner...Taiga gave me the chapter a while ago, but then something came up. I wanted to be sure that there would be a third chapter before I uploaded this one. Don't worry, it's all better now, and there will be a third chapter (and more!).
Taiga gave me 3 fully filled notebook pages worth of material, and in this chapter I've used a one and a half sides (out of six total sides). The rest is full of smut, and I will submit a special chapter with it sometime later this week.
