"Aortic.. Aneurysm?" I avert my eyes elsewhere, and he pulls me over to him. "Were you weak for days because of that?"

"Aren't you supposed to be smart? Of course it's because of that." My chest is aching from this. "So just leave me alone.. I don't want to talk right now.." Kei brings me inside and locks the door behind him. "What the hell are you doing?"

Kei puts me back in bed, and I watch him move around. Why won't he just leave me alone? I already told him that I don't want to talk right now, so why is he still around me? I don't want him to be here..

"Kei, please just go.." He brings the stool to the side of the bed and takes a seat. "Are you seriously going to just stay here without my permission?"

"I'm sorry for being rude when you visited me. I know that you were worried.. I knew that then, so I'm sorry for being rude. Hearing about your condition, it only makes sense to me that I stressed you out, and you were bedridden for days."

I stare at him, bursting into laughter at how stiff he is. "I can't say anything about that, but.. it wasn't your fault. I have been delusional.. to think that I was drinking my meds when I wasn't."

"I was the trigger so don't say that it wasn't my fault." I shake my head, and he rolls his eyes. "You're resting today." He fixes my blanket and tucks me in.

"What are you doing? You're not my nurse and surely not my boyfriend, so what are you doing?" He heads to the door and turns to me with a playful smile.

"I am your boy friend." He says before heading out.

I scrunch my nose in disgust and mess my hair up in frustration. I don't know what his purpose was for saying that, but he's weirder than usual. Did saying what my condition was made him go insane? I think I want the old Tsukishima Kei back.

I messaged him to ask when he'll be coming to see me, and he said that he won't be coming anytime soon. What the heck is wrong with that idiot? I was going to give in with not talking to him, and now he's the one avoiding me. What the..

Kei's in his room. I'm just going to go see him. I haven't gotten my IV bag attached back to me. I'm going to see that idiot.. when he's supposed to be smart and rational, but right now.. he's out of his mind. He should get checked up.

"Tsukishima Kei." I say upon opening the door. "Tsukishima-sensei.."

"(L/n)-san, do you need help with your homework?" I smile innocently and shake my head. "Then, are you here for Kei?" I slowly nod my head as I scratch my nape. "I'll be outside. Take your time."

The moment his dad left, he laughed. "You're embarrassing." I throw the nearest pillow to him, and he just laughs. "I got closer to Dad again.. or at least I'm trying."

"You actually listened to me.." I say, and he nods. I take a seat on the chair, and he gives me a pocky. "I'm well.. I didn't think you were taking me seriously."

"I was embarrassed to see you in my room when I was that sick, and I was rude, but we are.. dying." I hate this talk, but this is reality.

"Why did you listen to me? I'm not Yamaguchi, not Hitoka--I'm not the friend your closest to, so.. for being me who's not--you get my point." He hands me chocolate milk and pats my head, and I reach for my hair. "Why?"
