          I could have sworn I died. When I fell it felt like the sun was pulling itself closer to me. Like it would take me away from the ground. I hardly remember anything other than that day. That day..I missed the entrance exam..that day I could not even confess my feelings. It was stupid. I almost lost my life because of love, because of..my feelings. It felt like a morning after a hang over, it was dark in the room I was in. A few lights in the dark I saw flicker from time to time due to my eyes feeling heavy. The tips of my fingers rested on a cold bed. A cold..bed? A dream perhaps? A bad one. After all Miyadera was not someone to kill. Definitely not someone to fall for her own brother. Although it wasn't a dream, my eyes focused on the room around me. White, the ceilings were flat and gray. The bed I was in felt hard, and the blanket felt light. I was in a hospital. It was real. I wanted to ache, I wanted to feel sick that this really happened to me. Although my body and consciousness beat me to it. My stomach twisted as I felt sore. I could move. Not so much my legs. One of my arms I could move freely without pain, however the muscles in my shoulder hurt whenever I did. My head felt.. weird. Not in anyway could I describe this feeling. I turned my upper body slowly to my right. A large window covered by two blue curtains to stop the sun from invading the room. A side table with water on it, it was almost empty. Who had been here? A neatly stacked pile of old books. A Visitor? Then, I turned slowly to my left, making sure the weight of the turn was in my torso. A monitor, a few other machines that I didn't know. On the far end of the wall a poster, I couldn't read it, but in bold read a number I couldn't read. Turned once more. My back against the upper part of the bed. I sat in silence. There was rustling noises from outside of my room. The voices of Doctors and Nurses. The sounds of rolling carts and foot steps. What bothered me the most was I had no idea what time it was, I has no recollection of anything, other than falling. My eyes traced the room once more. On the arm of the bed was a call nurse button. My hand reached up and pressed it. I lowered my hand, and awaited the arrival. Although this every passing second it felt longer..and longer. Is this what hospitals usually felt like? Finally the door opened.
        "R/N!" It wasn't a nurse, but Korekiyo. His hair was messy, once he entered the room my eyes came into focus. His hair was frizzy, his eyes were shot open. His legs were trembling. Although I did not speak with words, my heart monitor spoke for me. 'Ba-Bump! Ba-Bump' It started to rush. Oh if only it had stopped. I couldn't love Korekiyo. I would end up dead the next time I tried to confess to him. "..Sir we told you to wait in the..the-" The nurse sounded out of breath as her hand rested against Korekiyo's shoulder in the doorway. "-The waiting area...It's not visitation hours..!" Without a second thought he came into the room removing the Nurses hand by raising his shoulder upward. He practically rushed to the bedside and looked at me. He was focused on my eyes. I needed to say something. Anything, However nothing came out. He ran a finger through my bangs to push them out of my face. He kneeled beside the bed in silence. The Nurse stood there, as silent as the two of us had been. "..I have not laid my eyes on yours in so long. How beautiful. How..alluring." He said softly. I mustered up a smile to him, and he returned it. I looked to my Nurse who was holding the hem of her shirt scrubs. "..H..How long have I been out for?" My voice hurt, most likely because of the damage that had been done with the screaming from my vocals. "Oh! I- Believe since..Saturday. So..two days." I thought it had been longer, a wave of relief rushed through me..Monday. It was Monday! "Korekiyo..? Why aren't you at school?" Korekiyo stared at me before looking to the ground. "..The school is under investigation..for a..potential murderer. However in your case the most I have received from any updates on my email..is that you..did it on your own free will. It is not true. I will not believe you..you.." With the crackling in his throat, he was in pain. He seemed ashamed, angry, so many things bottled into the poor heart of his. "..Korekiyo- I- I didn't..! I really didn't you must believe me..!" The Nurse was writing something on a clip board as Korekiyo looked to me. His eyes were red, puffy, swelled almost. Like tears were a warm welcome to his eyes— or so they had been for the past two days.— "I know." He said, sternly, his tone sounded angry, enraged I must say. "..Korekiyo- I'm sorry I didn't get to tell you what I was going to say..I just don't..know if I can anymore." Korekiyo shook his head getting up from his squatting position to look at me from a better angle. "..That was not me." He said. "What are you talking about?" I responded. "..It was not me who sent you those messages. I had only sent the first one."
        My heart sank, He did not even know we were meeting in the morning, it was not him. It was Miyadera. I felt ill once more, and Korekiyo could tell after my heart monitor soared. "..You know then?" I spoke. He seemed defeated, not defensive over his sister now. He looked, sorrowful. "..I know." He responded. "..What did you want to tell me..?" He asked, his eyes traced around my face, soaking in every expression I had made. Although I felt ill thinking about it. I almost died because of my feelings. "..Nothing important." I spoke, I wanted to cry then. Because apart of me knew I still liked him. Even if he didn't like me. "Nothing Important?" He questioned, I looked to the Nurse as she was writing down more notes on her clipboard. She walked into check my vitals. "..Yeah..nothing important. I would say it's stupid." I giggled, Holding the tears that wanted to fall from my eyes. "..." He didn't respond as he sat down in the visitor chair that was edged up to the bed. I looked to the books, then to him. "..You were the one reading to me..?" He looked to the books and picked one up from the stack. He briefly ran his fingers on the cover. "..Yes. I thought maybe you could hear me. Or..know I was there for you. However I did research. I don't think you heard me. Now I feel quite embarrassed." He set the book back as I softly smiled to him. "..It's sweet Korekiyo. Thank you." He smiled back as the Nurse looked to the two of us. "I apologize- I did not realize how close you two were. I understand your excitement when you hear that your partner is finally awake." We sat in silence together before I spoke up. "..Right. I..hope he can stay just for a little longer." She nodded. "Yes, that is fine. However expect more visitors later. For now I'll leave you two be. Don't want to interrupt you two love birds." She giggled and left the room. I couldn't muster up a ' we aren't dating! ' before she left. Considering It gave us more time together. "..I apologize I did not say anything." He looked at me. His eyes were gentle. "..It's okay. I mean it gives us more time together right?" He nodded in response. "I missed you R/N." Ease. I felt. He put one hand onto the bed to grab hold of mine. He gently squeezed it, not to hard to hurt me, but not to light so I wouldn't feel anything. "..Just..promise you won't go anywhere okay?" I said.

"I promise."
