Illness of the Heart
Chapter 3- He Said He's Changed
"J-Johan?!" Judai yelled out, jumping a bit causing him to fall over in his chair.
The bluenette sighed as he held his forehead with one hand. "Please stop embarrassing yourself Mr. Yuki."
Judai quickly picked himself up. "Oh my god… Johan! When did you become a doctor?!"
"After I took an advanced medical course in Europe. I excelled greatly, which caused numerous American schools to want to take me in. Now onto business. Currently we are prepping a room for you. You may take the rest of the day off until we check you in. Once you're checked in you will be—
The brunette interrupted him with a strange look on his face. "Johan! That's all you can talk about after being out of contact for 3 years?!"
Johan sighed again as he rested his elbow on his desk and placed his head on his hand. "Well, this is a hospital Mr. Yuki."
"And why are you calling me Mr. Yuki?! What happened to Judai?!" Judai snapped.
The bluenette rolled his eyes as he took out a cell phone, flipped it open, and put it to his ear.
The brunette calmed down as he stared at Johan curiously. "Who are you calling?"
"My college student. I thought he sent you here for a medical exam instead of a 'blast from the past'."
The Japanese boy's expression angered a bit. "How could you act like that?! We were best friends, and to me we still are! I cried my heart out when you left!"
Judai could've sworn he saw him flinch, but what Johan said next easily blocked out that thought.
"Oh boohoo, let me play you a song on the world's smallest violin!"
"J-Johan… I thought we were friends…"
The American doctor's expression became stern. "Mr. Yuki. People change after long periods of time, which includes me. I personally do not consider us as 'pals' any longer. Our relationship right now is strictly business."
Judai sat there in silence, shocked by what Johan has just said to him.
Johan then leaned back in his chair as he continued speaking. "Well then now, Mr. Yuki. You will return to the hospital around 6 p.m. In which you will be—
"But… you kissed me…" Judai whispered ever so softly.
The doctor groaned once again. "Mr. Yuki! Please pay attention to what I am saying right now. And I would like you to start calling me Dr. Andersen. Now once you are checked in, you will be monitored every night for your stay. Today that will be before your physical. Do I make myself clear?"
Judai just nodded.
"Good, now then please fill out these forms." Johan pulled out a thick packet of paper as he handed them to Judai. The brunette looked over the text of the front page for 15min without moving.
"… Is there a problem Mr. Yuki?"
The smaller boy rubbed the back of his head nervously. "Well… I don't know what this word means…"
Johan just sat there. Quickly he took a pink form out and scribbled all over it. "Just sign every dotted line you see in the contract."
Judai did just that as Johan swiped it from his hand. "I will take care of the remaining paperwork, go take this paper and go to the top floor to Dr. Steinbeck."
"For my physical?" Judai asked curiously.
"Yea whatever, Mr. Yuki." Johan mumbled as he waved Judai off.
The brunette slowly walked to the door. He twisted the knob open with his hands and left the room. Turning to close the door, he stared at the image of his former best friend scribbling rapidly at the piles of paper. His expression became sad as he finally shut the door.
The Japanese boy sighed as he walked up the stairs. 'Johan… he said he's changed… I-I just can't believe it… Did I really lose my best friend?'
He slowly dragged himself over to door that read, Dr. Steinbeck. Opening the door, he stepped in.
It wasn't at all what Judai expected for an examination room. It had large windows letting in light throughout the room. There were 2 chairs and some plants around the room.
"Ah yes, can I help you?" An elderly man sitting at a desk asked from an oak desk at the side of the room.
"Uh yea, well, I was told to come here by Joha-I mean, Dr. Andersen." Judai said as he walked over to the old man and handed him the form.
"Hmmm… okay let me see…" Dr. Steinbeck said as he put on what Judai assumed was reading glasses and took the form. He looked over it briefly before scribbling something on it then folding it into his pocket as he stood up. He walked over to a chair and sat before gesturing Judai into the other chair.
The brunette obeyed. He positioned himself comfortably in the chair before Dr. Steinbeck started speaking.
"So then now… uh, Judai."
"Uh… shouldn't you be calling me Mr. Yuki or something?" Judai asked curiously.
"Oh! Not at all! We don't need any formalities here. Please, you can call me Jeff."
"Well, uh Jeff… how do we start?"
"Well first off, have you been feeling sad for awhile?"
Judai looked at the man curiously before replying. "No, not really"
"Well then… Do you find yourself easily distracted? Such as if you see a butterfly flying by or a shiny coin in the dirt?"
"No……." Judai replied, a bit suspicious of the man's qualifications.
"Hmmm… as a child, did you find school difficult?"
"Okay, how the hell does this determine my physical condition?" The brunette finally spat out.
Steinbeck raised an eyebrow. "A physical? I think you are mistaken."
"Aren't you a doctor?"
"Well yes, but not that kind. I am a psychiatrist as well as a therapist."
"What?!" Judai spoke out a little loudly. "What do you mean?!"
The Doctor pulled out the paper from his pocket. "Well according to this, you are here to be examined. The mental illnesses we are looking for are, Depression, ADHD, and slight mental retardation."
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Judai screamed jumping out of his chair.
"And anger management…" Steinbeck finished.
"JOHAN!!!" The angered brunette screamed as he ran out of the office.
"Oh dear… Did I say something I shouldn't have?" The old man said, apparently shocked.
---------------
"Finally! Finished!!!" The bluenette said exasperated. He quickly glanced at his clock. "He should be in here in about… 3… 2… 1…"
(BAM!!!) The door slammed open, in the doorway panting, stood a very flustered looking brunette.
Johan calmly stated, "Can I help you Mr. Yuki?"
"Depression, ADHD, mental retardation!!! RING ANY BELLS?!"
"Well it occurred to me you couldn't read a contract that was written in a 6th grade level of vocabulary. You also seemed to have mood swings and were distracted by the smallest comments I made."
Judai just stood there before he turned around. "Ima go take a swim…"
(thud!) A loud sound was made in the office. Judai spun around to see Johan fumbling with some books and papers that have seemed to have been knocked over. After getting things organized, the bluenette quickly regained his composure before he spoke. "Well, may I ask what swimming pool you'll be at? Just in case you forget to check in tonight."
"It's at the hotel Sho will be staying." Judai replied turning around again. "Well, bye Johan…"
"Be back by 6 Mr. Yuki."
----------------
"Ugh…" Judai groaned as he started walking back to the hospital, a bit wet. He didn't have a good time at the pool at all. Although he was alone, in the pit of his gut, he felt like someone was watching him. Every time he stepped out of the water or so, he heard a click sound from somewhere. And he could've sworn there was a flash of light.
He didn't want to stay there any longer, so he left earlier then planned. "Well… what time is it now?"
Slowly, Judai raised his arm to look at his watch. "HOLY SHIT!!!"
And with that, the brunette took off full speed for the hospital.
-----------------
Judai dove through the entrance. "Excuse me! Sorry, excuse me! Sorry I'm late!" The brunette said while dashing through the hallway. Finally he reached Johan's door and he burst in, breathing hard.
Johan just sat there, feet on his desk reading a newspaper. He put the newspaper down to see Judai, and almost automatically he looked at his watch. "Hmmm… you're late…"
"I know… I'm sorry…" The brunette panted out.
"Well go change. Place your clothes in a white box located for you then head to hospital room 407, it's just down the hall to your right. Well, if you'll excuse me, I have some things to do."
Judai watched as Johan walked past him. He desperately wanted to see those beautiful emerald eyes meet with his own brown eyes again, but sadly, the bluenette didn't even spare a passing glance.
The Japanese boy sighed as he walked into the restroom and changed into hospital robe thingy. (Anyone know what it's called?)
Slowly he left the room as he walked down the hall looking for his designated room.
"401, 403, 405, 407. Here we go…" Judai thought out loud.
He opened the door and glanced around the room. He saw a hospital bed in the middle of the room along with numerous machines he couldn't even begin to identify. Slowly he made his way to the awkward looking bed and laid down in it, to find it surprisingly bouncy. He bounced a bit up and down to test it some more. A mischievous smile crept up on his face.
"Hehehehehehehe…" Judai snickered as he stood up. But right when he was about to start jumping…
"Mr. Yuki… I will ask you to refrain from all immature acts while in the hospital."
"Ahhh!" Judai screamed as he fell over. He quickly sat up to see Johan in a chair across the room from the bed. He was in his doctor's coat, holding a clipboard in his hand and a pen in his other hand.
"J-Johan! How long have you been there?! And why are you here?!" Judai said a bit freaked out.
Johan sighed as he replied. "I was here as soon as I left my office and I am the one monitoring you during the night."
"Y-You?!" The brunette said a bit shocked Johan would do anything that related to being kind to Judai.
Johan just sighed again. "Just lie down and go to bed. It's lights out at 8."
Judai stared at Johan a bit curiously as he was about to lie down when suddenly the door opened. A nurse, dressed in a light blue uniform came in smiling.
"Hello! You must be Mr. Yuki! I know this is your first time and you might be a bit scared, but I'll be staying with you for the night."
"Uh…" Judai said as he pointed at Johan.
"Hmmmm?" The nurse questioned as she looked at the area Judai was pointing at. "D-Dr. Andersen?! You're still at the hospital?!"
"Is there a problem nurse? I will be monitoring Mr. Yuki tonight; your presence is not required." Johan stated bitterly.
"N-No problem at all sir! I'll be leaving!" The nurse hurriedly walked back over to the door and walked out the room, but not before observing Judai for a few more seconds.
Johan turned to face Judai again. "Is there a reason you're staring at me Mr. Yuki?"
"N-No reason!" Judai spoke quickly as he dove under the covers. At the same time he did, Johan turned off the lights in the room.
"Well then, good night Mr. Yuki."
The brunette sat up a bit curiously. Did Johan just say something nice?
The Doctor raised an eyebrow. "Is something the matter?"
"No nothing at all… Good night, Dr. Andersen." And with that, the brunette boy laid back down and closed his eyes, drifting off into a restful sleep.
---------------
Sometime during the night, Judai stirred. His eyes opened slowly. He waited for his blurred vision to focus before sitting up and rubbing his eyes. But then Judai noticed a particular weight on his bed. Turning his head to the side he saw a familiar bluenette, sleeping by his bedside. His head resting on his arms.
He looked so peaceful and calm. And dare he think it, cute…
Judai smiled as he brushed away a stray strand of hair.
'He said he's changed. He said he's not my friend anymore… But to me... he hasn't changed at all. He's still my best friend. He's still my Johan.'
