Chapter 15

Shinsou stood up, pulling the cover off of him. He was still wearing his uniform, but he went to his room to get a scarf. He walked over to a window after grabbing the scarf, slowly opening it and stepping out onto a ledge. This is gonna hurt, he thought, looking down. He used his scarf to lower himself down, gripping onto the edge of the building with his hands. When he was halfway down, the scarf shifted for a moment, causing him to scrape his hand. He heard something land on the pavement below him. Great, there goes my phone, he thought.>

Kami realized Shinsou had gone offline. He huffed, sitting up and looking over to Alisa, "Morning.">

"Morning," She replied. "Although, you have been up for a little while now." She raised an eyebrow questioningly.>

He ducked his head, "Yeah, sorry. I was talking to..." He paused, turning red when he remembered their conversation, "...a friend.">

"A friend huh? Is that why your face is red?" She teased.>

Shoving his face in the pillow, he grumbled, "Fine. He's more than a friend. It's complicated...">

"He?" She looked at him questioningly again, before smiling. "Friends with benefits, perhaps?" She joked.>

He shot up, cursing, "I wasn't supposed to let that slip!.." Then he processed what she said afterwards, turning deep red, "No! Absolutely not! We don't... Nope! Not like that!" He added, "We're just kinda... on and off I guess? I don't know?!">

"Uh-huh." She mumbled, smiling. "Remember to be safe." She added, to which Denki responded by throwing a pillow.>

He grumbled, "Wish I had another pillow." He stuck his tongue out at her.>

Alisa stood up when she heard a knock on the door. "Must be the doctor," she stated, walking over to open the door. Instead of a doctor, there was a sleepy-looking purple-haired boy wearing a school uniform. She turned to face Denki. "This him?" She asked.>

Denki had looked at the door, panicked, until he saw Hitoshi, "Oh my god... Yes?! How-" Realization dawned on him, "Did you actually climb out the freaking window, Hitoshi?!">

Shinsou turned red. "Yeah..." he mumbled. "I couldn't let you rot here alone.">

"Oh my god..." He repeated, before turning red again, "Wait- did you hear any of our conversation?..">

Shinsou shook his head before turning towards Alisa. "Don't worry, we're always safe." He said, making eye contact and keeping a straight face. He turned to wink at Denki.>

He hid his face, "You are not helping my case, Shinsou! You know good and well it's not like that!">

Shinsou burst out laughing. "Don't worry, that's all I heard." He laughed once more. "I know, I know." He turned towards Alisa again, outstretching his hand for a handshake. "I'm Hitoshi Shinsou, Denki's 'friend'.">

He grumbled, "Yeah, I don't like the way that sounds. You might as well introduce yourself as my boyfriend." He blushed again.>

Shinsou turned around, forgetting about the handshake. "Oh, are we official again?" He asked.>

Kami held out his arms, "Sure, just get your ass over here. I want a hug, and I can't necessarily go to you." He gestured towards the IVs in his arm.>

Shinsou walked over to Denki, hugging him tightly. "I missed this," he admitted.>

He nodded in agreement, "Me too, Toshi. Me too.">

Alisa cleared her throat. "Alright Hitoshi Shinsou, what are your intentions towards Denki?" She narrowed her eyes before turning to face Denki. "If he ever hurts you, let me know. I'll set him straight.">
