COMA

You ought to know

"He might never wake up...."

"Run some more test....I am sure there must be something you can do..."

"He suffered a major hemorrhage on the left side of his brain, which causes all mobile functionalities of his body to fail...I am afraid, there is not much we can do at this point...we'll have to wait and put him on life support....Who is his legal Proxy? "

"Nanon...Non?.....Non?..."

*

"NOOOON!"
"What? ", "I heard you the first time, I just chose to ignore you, hoping you would get the memo of me not wanting to speak with you", Nanon replied a little annoyed with a wink in Ohm's direction, a Wink that served the purpose of mellowing down the words, that may have come out a little too harsh for Ohm's liking.
But Ohm knew Nanon and Nanon knew Ohm. They knew eachother - even better than themselves, which was scary sometimes, unusual even....some might say unnormal for a "normal friendship", but it was their thing, it was what made them – THEM.

Despite knowing Nanon and knowing that his straightforward, direct way of telling people he cared about, what he thought - not meaning any insult or harm by it - Ohm never failed to make Nanon feel a little bit guilty about how he said things.

Ohm dramatically pouted, while crossing his arms over his Chest, all the while making a sad face. He looked like a sad little puppy, who had not eaten for at least 10 days.

All though, Nanon knew Ohm too and his way of over-dramatizing things, he still ever so often fell for the older boy's tricks. This time though - this time was different. Ohm really seemed – hurt.

"What are you looking at?", Nanon turned away from him only to look back seconds later, still looking at a sad and distressed Ohm.

"I didn't mean to upset you, Non..." - Nanon couldn't see him, but he knew exactly how he must have looked like right now...
"I just..... sometimes, I miss us hanging out, fooling around like ...ever since Bad Buddy ended, you hardly make time for me, for us....I feel like, like you are avoiding me"

Nanon, now heartbroken by these words, felt a sharp pitch somewhere in the area, where his heart must have been moments ago. He made an attempt to turn around, stopped Mid-Action and remained the way he was, the back of his head still facing Ohm and his face, facing the grey Wall of the one room they always hid in, when they needed time for themselves or a moment to talk about things. It was a little risky, considering the fact that, the Room was in the GMMTV Building, where anyone had access to. For some odd reason, this particular room calmed them down.

There were many things Nanon could handle - seeing Ohm sad or disappointed face wasn't one of them. Somehow the other boy always managed to turn his hard posture into a soft one. There was nothing Nanon could do about it. He would give in almost immediately just by looking into his big brown eyes. Those eyes messed up his rational thought process. It scared him sometimes, that only Ohm could make him feel that way, only him.

Ohm slowly came closer, Nanon could feel his Presence moving closer to his, but he still remained the way he was. He was not about to look into that sad expression – not today. Besides, he wouldn't even know how to answer him, since Ohm was right. He was avoiding him, but not for the reasons Ohm thought of. It was because they were busy – at least that was what Nanon told himself, every time he found a reason to ditch their planned meet-up's.

"Tell me, I am lying..."- His voice sounded painfully wounded, Nanon thought.
"No.......I mean yes, you are overreacting, I am not avoiding you...", Nanon shifted uncomfortably, still not looking at Ohm. Lying wasn't one of his strong abilities, in fact he really sucked at it, especially when it came to Ohm. He couldn't lie to him, even if he tried, so he decided to convince himself into telling him a half- truth – yeah, that didn't sound too bad.
