Hola! Here's the 5th chapter! Hope you enjoy. It's Gareki's point of view. I hope I'm keeping everyone in character (Or as close as i can get.) It's hard trying to imagine this actually happening to the characters, and I'm not sure I'm keeping them in character, or even close. Sure Yogi's gonna act a little different, everyone will. I'm just typing away and hoping I'm even a bit close. And coming up with ideas inst so easy as i thought it would be. Oh well.
To the fic!
Gareki sighed as he looked at the ceiling above the medic bed he laid on, his arms crossed underneath his head. Gareki glanced to his at Yogi, where Yogi was asleep on his bed, and frowned slightly at the face Yogi was making. It almost looked as if he was in pain. "Neehhh..." Yogi moaned in his sleep as he frowned in his sleep. Gareki raised an eyebrow and sat up a bit. What was..? When Yogi turned and hissed out as if he was possibly in pain, Gareki shoot out of his bed and was at Yogi's bedside before he could even finish his thought. Gareki blinked as he stood next to the bed, unsure of what to do or even why he should care, while Yogi tossed and turned looking hurt.
Yogi's face suddenly relaxed and his body went quit limp. Yogi turned over, facing Gareki, and snuggled his face into his pillow. Gareki's breathe caught in his throat. Yogi...looked so calm. There was no huge irritating grin on his face, and he wasn't annoying Gareki with loud, constant words. Instead, he was so....Gareki struggled to find the exact word. The pale moonlight that streamed in threw the window, cast a slight glow on Yogi's face. The white bandage on his left check and reflected the moonlight. Yogi's eyelashes fluttered over his checks and his lips where in a slight smile. The smile itself was breathe taking, because it was not something you would ever expect to see on Yogi's face.
Yogi's smiles where usually bright and huge. Filled with tons of light, hell, it almost rivaled the sun in the 'annoying bright lights' category. But this one... This one was small, almost nothing more than a slight turn of the corners of his mouth. It was soft and calm..and true. Gareki felt shocked at the thought. No, this smile was as real as the ones Yogi usually threw at people. What could Yogi possibly gain from smiling at people, if he was not really happy? Gareki pushed the thoughts away and looked at Yogi.
Yogi sighed happily. "Your back.."He whispered. Gareki frowned. Who's back? Why did...Yogi seem so happy that this person was back? Even is it was in a dream, what made Yogi so happy? Yogi's smile grew just a tiny bit, and warmth seemed to creep out of it. It warmed Gareki just a bit. by only seeing the smile, he felt oddly...relieved? Happy? No, seeing the fool smile couldn't make me feel happy! Gareki thought with a frown. His attention returned to Yogi when he heard the older gasp.
"Leave them alone!"Yogi ordered loudly. the words where a bit slurred with sleep, but loud nonetheless. Gareki quickly glanced at Nai, whose bed was across the room from his, and saw that Yogi's shout hadn't woken him. He glanced back down at Yogi to see him frowning again. Leave who alone? Gareki thought. He crept closer to Yogi as Yogi moved his arm a bit. Yogi's body jerked suddenly, and he moaned as if he had been struck in the chest. Yogi was begging to sweat. Just what was he dreaming about. Yogi gulped and hissed in pain.
Yogi began to twist and turn. He hissed and moaned as if he was in pain, and Gareki had no idea what to do. Wait, Gareki stopped himself. Why should he do anything? What happened to Yogi was none of his concern. He was no friend of his. His thoughts flashed back to what had happened. Gareki looked at his feet. He shouldn't blame Yogi for what had happened to his friends, but he did. A small, hurt part of him did. Sure, he knew it wasn't really Yogi's fault, but he needed someone, other than himself, to blame. He wanted to blame Yogi, but doing so was wrong. What had Yogi done? He had done his job, which was to protect Gareki and Nai. Not running around doing whatever the two of them wanted.
Yogi had tried. Whereas Gareki hadn't. At least, Gareki felt he should have done more. but what's done is done. He couldn't go back and save them. They might have been to long gone already. There was nothing he could do. Right now, he had to help Nai find this 'Karoku' person.
He and Nai would be put under the care of two other Circus members. They probably wouldn't see Yogi, or Tsukumo again. Tsukumo. Gareki glanced at Nai. Nai was a bit curled on his sighed. Tucked under the blankets as his white hair spread out a bit on the pillow.
Gareki's attention shoot to the left when he heard Yogi whimper. Yogi was silent for a bit. Had he imagined it? Gareki looked at Yogi. Suddenly Yogi whimpered again and curled up slightly. "No! Don't go!...Please!"Yogi begged in a whisper. His voice was so broken and hurt. Like he was being hurt by the very people he loved. Tears started to leak out from Yogi's closed eyes. Wetting his long lashes. Gareki's breathe caught in his throat. He knew he had to do something now! But what?
Yogi twisted and whimpered pathetically some more. He sounded so hurt. So broken. How? What was he dreaming about? Was it really some nightmare? It didn't seem like could be. It was like Yogi was remembering something painful...Gareki shook his head. Yogi was always happy and acted like a child. He couldn't have been hurt so badly before that he would have nightmares. But then again... Gareki didn't know Yogi personally, despite how friendly Yogi was, he didn't know a thing about the young man's past. And he didn't share a room with him, so he wouldn't know if Yogi had nightmare every night. And the way Yogi acted before. His hair had turned from it's usual golden color to that of a silver one. He acted completely different. His voice had even been different. A 'scary voice' ,as Nai had called it. It had been darker and harsher than Yogi's normal light happy voice.
He hadn't even remembered him.
Gareki shook his head. Not sure why that would bothered him. Wait, no it didn't bother him the slightest. Just...intrigued him. Yeah, that's it!
Yogi cried out and Gareki had a sudden idea. he had no water, so he hoped Yogi didn't attack people in his sleep. Gareki pulled back his hand, and with a yell of Yogi's name, struck said person on the face. Yogi shoot up right after and Gareki jumped a foot back, in case Yogi would attack him. Instead Yogi gasped, gripped his shirt over his heart and breathed heavily. Yogi glanced up, and looked surprised. Why? "G-Gareki?" Yogi asked, almost uncertain. Gareki's breathe caught in his throat once more.
Yogi's violet eyes both caught and reflected the moonlight. The moonlight showed different shades of violet in Yogi's eyes. His eyes where so dark. Sure, Tsukumo's eyes where the same color, but they where a lighter shade. More purple than a dark violet like Yogi's. Then the moonlight seemed to dance on Yogi's golden colored hair, making it look soft and almost glowing in the pale light.
"Wheres Tsukumo?" Yogi's question brought Gareki away from his thoughts. "S-shes not here." Gareki responded, "What?!" Yogi yelped, looking worried. "Be quiet!"Gareki snapped. He didn't need Nai waking up. But he felt bad for snapping at Yogi, like he had just kicked an already wounded puppy. "She got kidnapped. Me and Nai are going with someone else." Gareki said bluntly. He had wanted to get that over with fast, like ripping off a band aid. Quick and easy.
"Oh."Yogi said quietly, looking at his lap. "How are you and Nai?"Yogi asked, looking up at Nai. "Fine." Gareki says shortly. Hoping to end the conversation. "That's good." Yogi said, his smile soft. "S-shut up and go to sleep." Gareki stuttered looking away from Yogi. His heart thumping a bit fast and a blush rising to his face. "Your such a problem." He said as he walked towards his bed. He hadn't expected Yogi to reply, or even say anything to that.
"Yeah...I guess I am, huh?" It was no more than a whisper. It was as if he hadn't intended for Gareki to hear him. Like the words where just a soft admittance for only his ears. Gareki almost turned around to ask him what he had meant, when Yogi said a "G'night." loud enough that he knew he was meant to hear that, and not the little whisper Yogi had said before.
Gareki climbed into his bed and pulled the blanket to his shoulders. He snuck a glance at Yogi. His eyes where shut tight. Gareki frowned. What was wrong with him? Gareki shook his head. It shouldn't matter to him. Not one bit. But, it did. To a small part of him. A small part he pushed away.
"Good night." Gareki whispered back, only loud enough for his ears, for reasons he didn't, or didn't want to know.
