Rimahiko Fanfic

Chapter 11

Rima POV

It was a cold, rainy Saturday, the day we all decided we'd visit Nagihiko. The rain pounded against the ground mercilessly as I walked the wet sidewalk. I glanced down at my watch, "10:30 am. I can still make it..." I said to myself. The rain started coming down harder and harder, I immediately regretted only deciding to wear a sweatshirt. As I stumbled through the entrance of the hospital, my hair was dripping onto the cold marble. I looked at my watch and smiled to myself. The doctor had said that Nagihiko would be accepting visitors at 10:45 am, though Amu said to meet at 12:00 noon, and yet why am I here? I don't know. Could it be because I was too bored to wait around at home? Or I want to have something to do after staying awake all night? I dismissed the questions and walked up to the front desk and asked for Fujisaki Nagihiko. 

As I walked down the almost empty hallways, as a few nurses and patients passed me. Before I knew it, I was standing in front of a hospital room. The towel a nurse had given me to dry out my hair was placed around my shoulders and my damp hair was still dripping with rain. I never thought how hard it would be to open a door to a hospital room, but then, as I placed a shaky hand onto the handle, it opened.

I walked into the room. The walls were a gentle white and it gave off and cozy feel. The blinds were drawn as I could hear the rain outside, and then there was him.

Our eyes met and he smiled at me. I couldn't help but smile back.

"Rima-chan..." He spoke gently. 

"How are you feeling?" I asked softly.

"A little sore, but fine, thank you." His smile was still there. His amber eyes had that same comforting look and I found myself picking up a chair and setting it by his hospital bed.

His expression grew concerned as he asked, "Why is you hair all wet?" when he noticed the towel around my shoulders.

"Uh..." I stammered, "I was uh..." I couldn't tell him that I got this wet to visit him...that's too embarrassing....

He still looked at me with a concerned expression, when I couldn't stand seeing him like that any longer, "I-I wanted to visit...but I didn't know it would r-rain." I was blushing and I looked down.

I looked up still blushing to find him laughing softly, "Rima-chan...you didn't have to go through all that, but even so, thank you." His smile...made me blush even more, I was afraid he would think I'd had come down with a fever.

I looked down again and giggled softly, "Don't mention it."

Nagihiko POV

Rima-chan...she's just full of surprises. Coming to visit with her hair soaking wet, with a towel around her shoulders. I couldn't help but smile.

The smile she gave me as she walked in...still felt different. Like she was still missing something, but what? While I was thinking, her soft voice filled my ears, "I'm sure Rhythm and Temari will be delighted to see that you're okay...just don't go giving us a heart attack again. We were worried sick you know." 

"O-Oh..I'm sorry to have worried everyone." I re[plied apologetically.

"Don't worry about it. What matters is that you're okay." She said reassuringly.

A nurse interrupted our conversation and smiled at me, "Mr. Fujisaki, I was sent to give you a small checkup on your condition."

"Alright." I agreed.

"It will only be a few minutes, but if your friend would like to wait outside, she can." She offered.

I looked to Rima-chan, "It's up to you. I don't mind."

She shrugged and replied, "It's fine. I'll stay.

Rima POV

I stood from the chair and moved it away so the nurse could examine Nagihiko. I back up and leaned against the wall, and waited quietly.

"Mr. Fujisaki, please lift your hospital gown so I can examine your wounds." The nurse asked patiently.

Nagihiko nodded and lifted the gown, I couldn't help but look away.

"Hm...seems these bandages could do another week...yes...I'll write a note aobut that. Now for you shoulder." The nurse said thoughtfully.

I looked back when the nurse said for him to lower his gown and that she would examine his shoulder.

"Do you think you can lift it?" THe nurse asked hopefully.

"I don't know..." Nagihiko answered, and tried lifting his arm. He let out a sharp wince of pain and brought his other arm over his shoulder, "I don't think I'll be lifting it for awhile..." He said gravely.

"Don't fret about it. You'll be fine." The nurse reassured him, "Well, that's it for today. I'll check on you again later. Goodbye." The nurse left and I pushed myself away from the wall and looked at him, "Need help lying back down?"

"No...I think I got it." He replied confidently, and slowly shifted his way back into a lying position.

I chuckled softly and reached for the blanket as he attempted extending his arm to grab it, "Take it easy now."

"Alright, Alright." He smiled back.

I pulled the chair back by his bed and leaned forward, resting my arms onto the clean white sheets. I lowered my  head into the crook of my arms, and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Nagihiko POV

I smiled to myself to see the small girl fall asleep on my hospital bed. I blushed slightly, and placed my hand on her damp head, and stroked one of her wet locks and whispered quietly, "Thank you..."

It wasn't until a few minutes later, I heard giggling from behind my hospital door to find Yaya holding up her phone, and to my guess, was taking a picture...?
