*Hitoshi POV*

I was driving home with Tamaki right beside me. Me and papa took the other car we owned to the hospital since we had to go to school as to not cause any worry the other staff and students going there. We brought Tamaki along because he was worried for his boyfriend. Don't blame him at all, I bet I would be the same way, even though currently I am not in a relationship and don't plan on it any time soon. 

We decided it was getting to crowded in the room and I could see that Denki was getting overwhelmed even though he couldn't realize it himself. Mirio was the same but I bet Tamaki being there calmed him down quite a bit. 

I looked over to the shy boy beside me. He looked to be on the verge of tears, looking down to his lap where he kept his phone and a lanyard. I sighed feeling bad that I know why but at the same time not knowing how to make him feel better. In attempt to make him feel better I blasted Mirios music playlist that I told him to send me just to annoy him. At the time he wasn't annoyed which upset me but the playlist was helpful in these type of scenarios. The playlist consisted of inspirational songs, along with just happiness. There was probably just one maybe two songs that had a little bit of negativity in them. 

I don't really know whether they exchanged playlists or in other words listened to them but at least I'm trying, okay. When I looked back at him I noticed his eyes were a little bit wider than before. I also saw a single tear fall down his face. I know I'm supposed to be paying attention to the road and I am at the same time I'm paying attention to a friend. 

"Thanks. I'm sorry for crying, just I was so worried for Mirio and seeing him alive just put me over the edge I guess. I know he's still injured but he's alive and that all I can ask for." He cried.  I sensed that he just needed his moment so I drove to the nearest building.

It turned out to be a gas station. I parked in front of the building, just letting him have his moment. I didn't really know what else to do.

"If it makes you feel any better, I was also worried about them. I mean, of course we both would seeing as you are Mirios boyfriend and me being his younger brother. But, I felt pretty pathetic how I was on the verge of crying. I didn't know how to react or feel but worry for their health." I explained to him. I heard him sniffle, and saw him rub his nose with the sleeve of his clothes. 

"Heh. Yeah. That does make me feel a bit better. I mean, the Hitoshi showing emotion is kind of unheard of." He chuckled a bit sniffling after.

"Alright we better get to my fathers or they'll have our asses." I stated, keeping the music on driving home. 

It was an hour away from the hospital and we already drove twenty minutes of it so we'll get there soon. 

*Hizashi POV*

I was very concerned for when the doctor came in the room. Afraid of Denki hurting them out of fear, or accident, but surprisingly it never happened. I mean I know he was scared, but he didn't do anything. I think it's because we were there with him.

Mirio on the other hand was confused, or looked to be anyway. When Denki asked to see his face he just seemed confused. I get why though, but it was pretty easy to find out why he asked though. He didn't want comfort from me or Shouta he wanted it from Mirio. Or another theory is because he was worried and tried to cover it up. It was pretty easy to read his emotions but not his mind. 

"What do you want to do when Mirio leaves tomorrow? Denki will be alone for another day of observation. Mirio gets discharged at noon." I looked over to Shouta who was driving. "I mean, I want to let him get over his fears, but I don't want to force him into feelings or emotions." I explained while the man beside me nodded. 

"We...Don't do anything." He said. "He will gradually grow out of fear of everything, but his trust issues won't leave him. He sounded like he was tolerating the doctor. When he walked in you could see that creepy smile on his face, and that he looked annoyed to be there. I doubt Denki really liked that. Maybe his attitude will be different around other doctors, maybe it will stay the same. Either way I think Denki won't ever get rid of trust issues." He explained in a whisper. Normally, whispering means that he wished something. I sighed looking forward watching the cars zoom past.

The various colored cars zoomed past us, then some going behind us. I watched as droplets of rain hit the windshield, leaving the sound of water hitting metal. The perfect day to be gloomy. 

*Mirio POV*

I was cuddling with Denki careful of his wounds. Right now he was asleep, just snoring away. There were slight twitches here and there. You could never know what the kid was thinking, which was a bit upsetting when he wanted something, especially when he wouldn't use words. 

I wanted to sleep, but I couldn't. I don't want to blame his snoring but that's just one of the reasons if I was being honest. But, also the voices in my head telling me to stay awake and protect my family. The memories running through my mind, the ones making me remember how I couldn't be strong enough to protect those I loves. I hated it. 

How Denki was able to sense my feelings were beyond me. He snuggled closer fluttering his eyes open. "It's alright, I'm fine. I trust you. You can calm down and sleep, Mirio." He said sleepily, his eyes fluttering back to closed. 

I smiled now knowing how he knew. It was my heartbeat, I guess he sensed it rising from the anxiety, maybe out of experience and listening to dad or papa when they comforted him when he needed it. 

"Thanks buddy." I acknowledged his attempt at comforting me, which calmed me down enough to fall asleep.
