"Hey, you okay?"

I looked up from where I was sitting on the examining table to see Heiji leaning against the doorframe.

"Let's see… I have a test tomorrow, haven't finished my homework yet… oh, yeah, and I HAVE A BROKEN ARM."

"I guess you're okay," Heiji smirked before sitting down next to me.

"Sorry," I sighed, feeling slightly guilty at my outburst. I held up my arm, which was now had a green cast from my elbow down to my wrist. "I'm just kind of mad at myself." I paused briefly. "I'm such a klutz."

"Yeah, well, I'm sorry, too."

I glanced at Heiji in surprise. He stared at the floor. "You're sorry? Why? You were being nice, well, sort of, and just trying to help me with my homework. I'm the one who managed to fall off a chair," I laughed drily.

"But, you're not supposed to get hurt when you're around me. Things like that shouldn't happen," Heiji said quietly. He seemed fixed on examining the tile floor of the hospital room. Which I can't really understand, since it was mostly white and gray. "You're supposed to be safe."

"Um…" I know, great response, Kazuha.

"Am I interrupting anything?" The nurse, a soft-spoken woman in her late thirties, stood timidly just outside the room. I remembered that her name was Elizabeth.

"No, not at all," Heiji said, quickly standing up.

"Kazuha Toyama, right?" Elizabeth checked her clipboard.

"Right."

"The doctor requests that you avoid physical activity that has contact to your arm. Make sure you get plenty of rest and come back in two weeks."

"Okay, thanks," I said, getting off the examining table.

I was already out in the hallway before I discovered that Heiji wasn't with me. I walked back towards the room, prepared to accuse him of once again being a slowpoke, but stopped when I realized that he and Elizabeth were having a conversation.

I peeked into the room.

"You two have such a great relationship," Elizabeth remarked.

"Er, well, we're not really in a relationship," Heiji fidgeted uncomfortably. Typical Heiji.

This new piece of information didn't seem to daunt the nurse.

"You aren't? I suppose that's because you two haven't acknowledged your true feelings."

True feelings? What is she talking about? I totally acknowledge my true feelings. Unless it involves Hei- oohh. Well, that doesn't count!

"I think you might be picking up on details that aren't really there," Heiji said, not impolitely.

"Oh, they're there, all right. You just haven't picked up on them."

Seeing Heiji's blank response, Elizabeth sighed.

"Anyways, just make sure you take good care of her," she said before bustling around the room and preparing for the next patient. "Though," she added with a knowing wink. "I don't think you need me to tell you that."

Heiji stared at her for a second before something clicked, and all of a sudden everything cleared so that his face relaxed into a smile.

"No, you don't have to tell me."

"That's what I thought," Elizabeth smiled back. There was like a psychic connection there for an instant. She seemed to fully understand what Heiji was thinking about (although on the other hand, I had no clue.)

I pulled back into the hallway just as he reached the doorway.

"So, what took you so long?" I asked innocently.

"Nothing much," Heiji said, equally innocently. But I could tell that his conversation with Elizabeth had put him in a good mood. He remained smiling while we walked down the corridors and as we went through the automatic sliding doors of the hospital towards the parking lot.

"Aren't you going to tell me what your conversation is about?" I asked. Because even though I did hear what they were talking about, I wasn't sure exactly what was going on inside Heiji's big head.

Heiji turned around to hand me my helmet before climbing onto his motorcycle.

"Nah, you'll figure it out soon," he grinned.
