"I was worried sick,"

Kunimi closes his eyes again and lays an arm over his eyes. "I–" he starts, his heart threatening to jump right out his ribcage.

"I was scared," he starts to feel the tears prick his eyes, "I was scared that if I told you, you'd see me differently,"

Kindaichi sighs, "Not that, Kuni," he stands up and sits on the bed, gently placing a hand on his knee, "I literally do not care what orientation you are," he gently runs his thumb over his knee,

"What I want to know is why you hid it from me that you were literally thrown around," 

He looks down and scrunches his face, "I hate that I wasn't able to help you," he grips his pants on his other hand, 

"I hated the fact that I didn't see signs sooner, I hated that this happened to you," 

Kunimi opens his eyes and peaks down at Kindaichi who had stress lines all over his face and looked like he was really sad. 

"You are so important to me and I hate the fact that I didn't treasure you enough," he looks up the ceiling, "Why?" 

Kunimi sits up and looks down over at his hands. "I didn't want to be outed," he explains, "I was still scared. Too scared, I really wanted to tell someone but–" 

Kindaichi looks over to see Kunimi silently crying, "—But I couldn't handle the fact that I might possibly lose you if I told you," 

Kindaichi just pulls him closer gently, engulfing his best friend into a hug. "There, there," he pats his back while Kunimi sobs onto his shoulder.

"I would never, ever let go," Kindaichi places a lipless kiss onto the side of Kunumi's head, making him sob into his chest.

"I am your safe space," he sighs and rubs Kunimi's back, "I will never leave you,"

Kunimi was fast asleep on the bed of their infirmary. Kindaichi was keenly watching over him, moving his hair strands away from his face.

"I knew you'd be skipping classes in here," he suddenly hears Oikawa's voice approach. He was currently alone and he walked up to the both of them.

"How has he been?" Oikawa places a pat on Kindaichi's onion-head. 

Kindaichi looks down on his and Kunumi's intertwined hands, "I– I'm not too sure, he seemed to lose sleep last night," he looks up at Oikawa who had a soft look on his face, leaning on the wall.

"You really like him don't you? Does he know?" Oikawa asks, "I don't mean to pry, you can refuse to answer," 

"No it's fine, Oikawa-senpai," Kindaichi shakes his head, "I do. I do like him so much," he bites his lip, "To the point that I couldn't put it into words," 

Oikawa smiles at his kouhai. "If you need Oikawa-senpai, I'm here," he detaches himself from the wall, "Both of you aren't alone in overcoming the obstacles you're facing okay?" 

Kindaichi nods, "We know that senpai. You suck less sometimes,"

"Ahhh, you first years really break my heart," he stretches his arms and walks away from them, "Whatever happens from his point forward," he places a hand on the door frame, "Take care of him okay?" 

He leaves and slides the infirmary door shut. 

Kindaichi just sits there, hands still entangled with Kunimi's, "As if I don't know that," he mumbles.
