Falling For You

The Haitani brothers stayed for a while before they were also eventually ushered out. The next person who came to visit was Hanma. He grinned and walked over to me, ruffling my hair. "How's my Dragonfly doing? A bit too reckless, aren't you?"

I rolled my eyes playfully, "I'm good. And there's no way you're the one telling me I'm too reckless." He pulled up a chair next to me and slouched into it. "Thats a whole different story. What you did back there was crazy, even to me."

I shrugged, "Eh. I don't think-" Hanmas stare cut me off. He started inching closer, grabbing my chin with his two fingers. His eyes bore into mine this time. It wasn't the crazy glare, or the soft eyes. They seemed dull somehow. As if he had been crying for a while. The mood in the room shifted. "Do you know what other way that could have ended? If you had kept fighting even after being stabbed, you know how that would've gone?" He muttered, voice grumbly.

I nodded in response. "How do you think I would've felt if it went that way?" I stayed quiet because of the intensity of his questions. "Answer me with words, Y/N." "Not good," I said in a small voice. "Not good right? Then tell me why you thought it was a good idea to keep fighting them? Why'd you think it was a good idea to not explain everything to me? Why did you not care in that moment? Do you want me to feel not good?"

I didn't know what to say. I stared at my blanket, tears welling in my eyes. Hanma lifted up my chin, to look at him. "Answer me." I took a deep breath, steadying my voice, then spoke, "I'm sorry. I know I should've told you, but it was for the good of Toman and Tenj-" "You shouldn't always think of Tomans good. Or anyone else's. What about you?" "Well, I...I couldn't really think in that moment so.." Hanma sighed, "There's lots of moments when I can't think either. Like when I'm with you. I can't think straight. All I think about is you. So in that moment, why didn't you think about me? Why didn't you think of how I would feel if you got hurt? You're my entire existence. If you were hurt, would that not hurt me too? I know this all sounds really selfish, but it's how I feel."

"Sorry. I should've told you what we were planning beforehand. I won't do anything that crazy again, I promise," I admitted. His eyes softened a bit, and he rested his forehead against mine. I could tell he was still a bit upset with me though. He placed a hand on the side of my face.

"I'll accept that for now, but I hope you know i'm not letting you out of my sight anymore. I'll follow you everywhere in school, even if the council gets annoyed with me. And I've decided to join Toman so I can watch over you during the fights too. And I want you to text me every half hour now, instead of every hour. With detailed updates too."

I laughed a bit, "That's too much Hanma." "You think that's too much? You should see what Koko and the Haitanis have been doing." I gave him a questioning look and he answered, "There's so many bodyguards outside right now. And they've sent some of their doctors too to watch over the processes and make sure the nurses know what they're doing." I sighed, shaking my head. "They don't know how to be low key, do they?" "Well, you're the type of person anyone would go all out for." I smiled widely.

Hanma seemed to fall more in love in that moment. He didn't know it was possible to feel something this deeply. He didn't know you could care for one person this much. But that was when he learned it was possible.

There was a knock on the door. We pulled away, and he brushed a piece of my hair back. "Alright then. See you, Y/N. Thank you." "See you! Thank me for what though?" He turned around, with his usual smirk. "For being so amazing. And staying that amazing too." He winked at me, and walked out. I rolled my eyes playfully at his cheesiness.

Koko and Inui walked in next. They took their spots near the bed as well. I avoided eye contact with Inui, though because of what had happened that day. Koko was fussing over everything and seemed to have brought an entire pharmacy with him.

Inui picked up on the fact that I wasn't looking at him and attempted to get me to do so. Koko opened the windows, complaining about it being too dusty in here. "What else do you need? I brought you some blankets since it's cold, and those strawberry things you like. And you're probably bored too, I should get something that's entertaining. Let's see, what else?" "No, it's okay, Koko." He turned abruptly, "Don't give me that. You need to be as comfortable as possible." He rushed around the room, fixing things, talking to the nurses, and ordering things online. I smiled as I watched him.

My throat started to feel dry so I grabbed a glass of water. Inui watched me closely. That made me nervous, and my hands were shaking as I tried to drink it. My fingers slipped from it, but before it could fall, Inui caught it.

In that moment I forgot my mission to avoid eye contact and looked him directly in the eye. My face flushed but before I could look away though, he pulled my face back towards him, and set the glass down.

"Why're you avoiding me?" He asked. "I'm not avoiding you," I denied. He scoffed, "Don't say that. You won't even look at me. Is there something you want to say?" I shook my head. He sat down next to me on the bed, and looked away, but softly said, "You can tell me." I took a deep breath, "I'm just kind of embarrassed." "There's nothing to be embarrassed about." I blushed, and hugged my knees, dropping my head onto them. "Don't." "I'm being serious," he said.

I lifted my head slightly. "I don't know, just the whole thing that happened that night. Y'know the whole being stabbed thing and you guys having to cover for me, and the k.. what happened after."

He shook his head, turning to look at me. His eyes are so pretty. They're so sleepy and hypnotizing. "I don't think so. Also what were you saying about-" "Don't ask. It was nothing, don't worry about it."

We sat there in silence for a bit, watching Koko who was talking to someone on the phone. After a while Inui said, "Uh, about the kiss..."

I knew it. I knew it was coming. This awkward conversation. "You don't have to explain," I told him. "I want to though. I think I have something to confess to you, Y/N. I might've fell for you."

I didn't know how to respond. "Don't get me wrong though. I don't like anyone. I just don't like you less. Like, I mean I like you. But not exactly- fuck- that was too bold," he commented at the face I was making.

I mean, we were like enemies. Every day at school we would remind each other how much we didn't like each other. But I guess a part of me had already fallen for him too. He always had a piece of my heart after that closet thing, and then the sweatshirt situation happened.

It was like I was being tested on whether or not I'd fall for him. And I did.
