Denial

"What are you doing?" Sano asked softly from the other side of the room his eyes staring at the back of the other boys head. He wasn't tired yet because he was sleeping in the bushes already, a good nap in the bushes would keep him up a fairly decent time to complete his homework. As soon as they had arrived back into their dorm room the boy had jumped out of his arms blushing furiously and ran into the bathroom. He was still worried about the boy, he hadn't spoken to him since. Once Mizuki had came out of the bathroom he dug through his bookbag and pulled out a piece of paper and began to write. "Ashiya?"

The boy shifted looking back at Sano. He stared for a few seconds before that accursed blush appeared on his face. "I-I'm writing a letter back to my brother because I promised him that I would write everyday. He's so far away and everything you know. It's important to stay in touch." He smiled sheepishly though the other couldn't see him in the dimmed lights of the room. His head still hurt a bit but it wasn't anything he wasn't used to. He felt worse headaches back in America.

Sano nodded standing up, "Yeah." He didn't know too much about writing home. He chose not to communicate with his parents but he didn't want to turn this conversation about himself he wanted it to be about the boy. "What are you telling them what happened to your head today?" He laughed gently the guilt stinging in the words as Mizuki turned back to his letter.

The boy laughed with him, "Something like that. Actually I'm trying to tell him a bit about everything. You, Nakatasu, Taiki, Nanba and my first day of school. What happened outside while we were playing football would only make him worry. He's a medical student so the only thing that he would talk about when he wrote back was if I had a concussion and if I had someone to look at my head." He sighed shaking his head. "Shizuki has a bit of a one tracked mind."

The dark haired boy nodded watching the other with large eyes. "Your brothers a medical student? That must be interesting." He was trying his best to strike up conversation with the other so far it was working decently. The boy was responding to his words which was good but he wanted to know more.

He looked back again, "Were you the one that brought me to the nurses office?" He asked gently rubbing the bump on his forehead. He remembered staring at the long jumpers wondering if Sano was over there with them before blackout. During the time of his blackout he didn't remember much of anything besides a soft mumbling about kisses and even an apology.

He shook his head, "Nakatasu was with you when it happened and brought you in." He frowned, "I-I was napping in a bush somewhere. Some of the other football players came by talking loudly about how you were hurt so I asked around and found out he had taken you in to the nurse." He sighed, "How's your head?"

Mizuki nodded feeling foolish for thinking that Sano should always be his knight in shining armor. He would definitely have to thank Nakatasu in class tomorrow for being there for him. The other boys would have most likely pulled him off the field and left him there like a dead dog. They didn't have a reason to help him because he was still the new kid though he had been around for a whole three weeks. He had to say that he was doing good for him to only be in his third week. He had memorized his classes and made a few new friends none good enough to are if he was hurt apparently but they were nice to talk to during lunch and in class.

He shrugged, "It hurts but it's nothing I can't handle." He laughed softly before whimpering. He looked up his breath catching Sano was by his side instantly. He leaned down closer to the boys face examining the bump before sighing. "...What's wrong?"

He shook his head, "It looks like it's going down on it's own but I think you should take something for it." He was trying to get the other to ask for the aspirin. For some unknown reason he thought it would be awkward to just give the other the medicine and tell him it was for Umeda. His head was hurting he should just give in, maybe he just wanted to feel needed by the other.

Mizuki laughed standing up, "Yeah, it would be nice but I don't-" before he could finish his sentence Sano had thrusted a glass of water into his grasp. He laughed gently taking a drink and tasting the medicine. Sano had cared, he was thinking about him after he had gotten her. It felt so- he could find the word but it was wonderful to feel special. "Thank you."

He nodded smiling gently, "You should get some sleep now so that your body can recover." He helped the other into bed as he sighed laying back. Sano climbed back into his bed sighing. He had did it, he had given the boy the medicine and now he could sleep peacefully tonight.

"Sano?" Mizuki asked suddenly. "Aren't you a high jumper?" He smiled being able to already know the answer to something about the man.

He turned over turning off the light before laying down. "Not anymore. Goodnight Ashiya."

Mizuki's eyes were wide, the hazel gaze staring holes into the bed above his. Sano wasn't a high jumper anymore. The man he had fallen in love with wasn't what he had fallen in love with? No. That was superficial he loved Sano for Sano. Right? He whimpered putting his head under the pillow. He loved Sano for Sano. He barely knew Sano and it was only now that he realized it.

[And now there's the drama that came in. About damn time but this isn't getting as many views as I like. It's either it gets reviews or I'll stop updating it and focus on my other fanfictions. If you'd like me to keep updating someone's going to have to review it.]
