My Hero // Baji Keisuke

~42~

A week later...

You were finally discharged from the hospital. You felt happy you finally got to leave that place. Being there brought back memories you wanted to forget. Even though everyone would visit you, once they left, it made you remember. You felt happy being back home and being able to be with Baji and his mom.

"Go take a bath, I'll make dinner in the meantime."

You went to go take a bath. You warmed up the water and got in. Looking down, you saw your scar.

Another scar.

There were a lot of things on your mind, but you tried to not think of anything. You just wanted to relax.

I never thought I would feel this way for someone espishally you.

You jolted up. Why am I thinking of that? I should just forget about it.

You were done with your bath and went to go eat. Ryoko was done cooking just when you arrived. She served you guys your plate.

"It's feels so much more better with you here. Having dinner without you made it feel empty. I'm just glad you're back home." Ryoko said.

You got this warm fuzzy feeling when she said that. It felt good being back home. You were done eating and you went to your room. You laid down still tired. It felt good being back in your bed. You didn't want to take a nap, so you decided to do something. You got up and that's when Baji came in.

"Can I come in?"

"You're already inside."

"Well, I just wanted to talk."

"About what?"

Baji took a seat in your bed. He looked like he had something to say, but couldn't quite say it.

"Is it something bad?"

"Kinda."

You were anxious about hearing what he had to say. You took a seat next to him waiting for him to talk.

"It's about Kazutora."

After what happened, you didn't want to think about him. He was going to hurt Baji. You felt like you were being deceived. You thought Kazutora changed. He wasn't any different with you when you guys hung out. To think he would still hurt someone, especially one of his friends, made you feel disappointed in him.

"If you don't wanna talk about him that's fine. Sorry for bringing him up."

"What do you think of him? Do you hate him?"

"I don't know. I knew he was gonna hurt me, but when he hurt you, I didn't know what to think."

"Wait, you knew?! Why didn't you say anything? Couldn't you do something to prevent that?"

Shit, I shouldn't have said that. "I didn't want anyone to get involved."

"You could've told someone, then they would've helped you out and prevent anyone from getting hurt."

"Everything would've went just fine, but you showed up out of nowhere."

"You can't blame me! If I didn't do anything, you would've gotten hurt!"
