Chapter 11

The entire room seemed to freeze as Misaki stared at the people inside. Nowaki realized that hed just made a huge mistake that there was no way to come back from without some serious damage control. He refused to meet Misaki's eyes by staring at his leg under the pretence of still examining it. Meanwhile, usagi stood there, petrified by what Nowaki had spilled so carelessly.

"Are you guys talking about Kamijou Sensei?" Misaki asked. He managed this calmly only because his mind was still processing.

Nobody said anything for a moment, then Usagi finally admitted, "Yes, it's true."

Part of Misaki's brain went ballistic. Usagi-san and Kamijou Sensei, Usagi-san and Kamijou Sensei, Usagi-san and Kamijou Sensei, Usagi-san and Kamijou Sensei, over and over it went. Misaki fought the urge to lose it as he shut that mindless insanity away behind a mental door. Maintaining his calm, unusually passive demeanor, (if he lost that, he'd lose everything) and looked down at Nowaki.

"Is my leg okay?"

"Eh, ah, it's not bad." Nowaki had completely forgotten he was supposed to be examining it in light of the situation.

"Good," Misaki replied stiffly as the insanity struggled in him for dominance. Beating it down, he grabbed his crutch and heaved himself off the bed. He stumbled slightly and Usagi and Nowaki were there in a flash to help him. But Misaki pulled back, cringing. "No," he whispered as he righted himself.

Nowaki nodded and backed away. Usagi-san refused to move, hands outstretched to his lover.

"No," Misaki repeated. "Don't touch me. I need to…" he struggled for the words. "I need to process some things. Please go home without me."

"No." Usagi replied flatly.

"Go home, Usami-san." Usagi jerked. Misaki never called him by his real name. Fear welled up in his heart.

Usagi considered forcing Misaki to come home with him, where he could fuck Misaki senseless, and make everything better, but with this cold tone Misaki was using, Usagi was almost afraid of telling Misaki to do something. So with hurt replacing the fear in his heart, Usagi pulled back as well.

Misaki cringed at the pain he saw in his lover's eyes, but stiffened his resolve. "Go home, Usagi-san." At least he'd used the nickname again. Usagi gave in and turned away. Reaching the door, he looked back. "I love you," he reminded his Misaki.

"I know," he replied. Usagi walked out, feeling his heart rip in two.

As soom as he was sure Usagi-san was gone, Misaki rounded on Nowaki. Tears stained his face as he said, "Tell me everything you know."

Nowaki gulped, and nodded.

Okay, so the characters got a little weird there, but one thing they never did in the real version was show Misaki when he was genuinely freaked. So that's what I think it would be like. Sorry to those of you who disagree.

Please review and tell me what you think of the 'intense' Misaki.
