Chapter Four : A Fragile Glass Doll

Rikus class ended in 30 minutes, there wasnt anything important, as it was almost the end of the semester. Just a week more.

------

Iori sat down on a sofa that was in  the nurses room. He was on his break now.

He made a small frown, as he recalled was the red head said. Iori didn't like how he reffered to himself. 

"A fragile glass doll, huh. " iori whispered his thoughts out loud.

In the same moment Momo closed the door behind himself. "Oh, Iori"

"Momo-san." Iori was brought back and a little surprised to see him there.

"Taking your break, hmm. Ahh i want mine soon too." The pink eyed man complained as he made himself a cup of coffe. "I'm working a 12 hour shift today."

"That's a long shift, Nurses don't have it easy, huh." Iori continued the conversation.

"It's not easy at all, but I like my job." The black haired man said, taking his cup from the coffe machine as he sat on his desk chair. "People who are in this hospital, this one ward, have it harder than us, after all. They are fighting for their life on daily basis. We can only help them and make their life more colorful, by being with them, and easing their symptoms."

"I can't imagine how they feel." Iori began "But from the interaction i had with Nanase-san, i can tell he's strong. He's in a place like this, more than he's at home, yet he's still so bright and cheerful." Iori frowned a bit, "It's surprising that a person such as him, is in this place."

"Riku is like that , he's a ray of sunshine in this ward. He loves to make others smile. He often slips out from his room to entertain other patients from this ward, or the children downstairs, despite it making it worse for himself sometimes."

Iori was more surprised, the children looked so happy and so did Riku ealier. Yet the latter coused himself more pain, just to entertain the former. 

" When you were introducing yourself, I went to fetch Yuki-sensei. We came back after you left, and Riku was having an attack. " Momo said." He doesn't like making others worry, so he probably hid it from you, when you talked ealier too." Momo took a sip from his cup.

Iori couldn't say anything. Riku was hurt but he dismissed him despite it, he hid it well enough that Iori had no idea.

"I have to take Riku to his treatment now, See you tomorrow Iori." Momo put down the cup on his desk and disappeared behind the door.

Iori helped downstairs for a while, before he was finished with his shift for today. When he walked in the way of the reception, after changing his clothes, he saw Momo and Riku, the latter sitting in the hospital wheelchair.

"Ah, you're done already today Iori?" Riku asked as he noticed the blue head. Momo was busy talking with the receptionist, so he didn't pay attention to the two teens.

"Yes, I have my class in an hour. I'll be here tomorrow morning again."

"I was hoping to talk to you more. But nothing can be done about it, if you have class. See you tomorrow then" Riku smiled.

"See you tommorow, Nanase-san" Just as Iori finished his sentence, Riku started coughing, whitch made Momo turn and attend to the red head.

Iori, watched as the boy before him had a coughing fit, he never saw anything like that happened right in front of him.

"Ah, we've been here too long in the reception, we're going back to your room, Riku." Momo said as he calmed the teen. "Ah, See you tomorrow Iori!" he yelled as he walked away with the red head, who was still coughing his lungs out.
