Caught In His Stitches

Day 3

Suzuya just sat down for lunch at work when Shinonhara walked in.

"It sure is good to see you back at work, Suzuya. How are you today?" Shinonhara seemed to be his usual happy self.

"I'm fine" Suzuya snapped

"Doesn't sound like it, what's happened?" Shinonhara asked sitting down with his mug of hot beverage.

"(Y/n) has amnesia" he sulked

"Amnesia huh? How bad is it?"

"It's bad enough!"

"Okay okay... so..?"

"..." Suzuya starred lost in his lunch in silence, when Shinonhara was about to get up he spoke.
"She forgot me"

"..." Shinonhara listened

"(Y/n) was hurt because of me, I wasn't there to protect her when I should have. Instead I was here when I should have been with her!"

"Well your here now" Shinonhara stood

Suzuya scolded sideways up at his partner, "I know that, but I should be with her!"

"Well then why aren't you?"

"Because her mother said so"

Shinonhara chuckled, "Since when do you do as you are told?"

"Since me living with her was the wager!"

"Oh. So you must continue to work in order to live there"

"You know this already! And yes... it sucks" Suzuya slumped in his chair poking his food.

"Yip! It aught to do you some good learning independence" Shinonhara stretched, "but I do miss you kid" he placed a hand on Suzuya's shoulder and gave it a firm squeeze.

You laid on top of your just made bed and sighed.

'Suzuya's at work, and I'm home alone... I should be relieved. He's been so demanding since he's been here! (Y/n) this, (Y/n) that... it's like I can't do anything without him there!"

"It's suffocating" you moan into your pillow and close your eyes.

'But yet I'm so lonely'

~~~~~~~

The door slammed shut as a skipping energetic Suzuya sprung through the front door, slowly followed by Seiko.

"(Y/n)!" He laughed and went in search for you

Your eyes snapped open and looked at your bedside alarm clock, 'I slept most of the day!'

You rushed to the door to greet them, you got up so fast the room started to spin. No wait, that was your head.
Your ears began ringing and you dropped to the floor!

"(Y!-n?!)"
Suzuya opened the door and ran straight to your lowered silhouette.
Panic shook in his voice, "W-hat happened!? Are you hurt? Do you remember anything? Are you sick!?"

You shook your head, you could have sworn you felt a gentle hand brush your ear, but looking up Suzuya's hands were wrapped around your waist.

"(Y/n) dear what is the matter?" Seiko rushed in

"I'm okay" you stood up slowly with Suzuya helping at your side

"No your not! Your white as a ghost, you need to lay down!" Suzuya directed you to the bed and lay you down ignoring your protest that you were fine.

Seiko came in with some water and pain killers, "I'll make dinner and bring it up for you"

"I'll stay" Suzuya stated

"She needs to rest"

"I'm not leaving!" Suzuya stomped his foot and shouted.

"It's okay" you found yourself slipping out, regretting it the next second.

Seiko nodded and left.

Suzuya sat at your side and rested his chin in his hands, "You really have me worried! Do you feel sick?"

You shook your head

"Have you eaten? Are you dehydrated!?" He stood abruptly, "O! Do you have a temperature?!" He leaned on your bed and placed his forehead against yours, your cheeks rose red.

"Uh-um" Well your face certainly felt hot now. You were millimeters away from his beautiful face.

"You fell hot" he closed his eyes resting his head on yours.

"Su-zuya?"

"Mmmm"

"Uh, you can stop now"

His eyes snapped open,
"Oh... Yea sorry..." He slowly coward in defeat and retreated to your desk chair, picking up a pencil and tapping it quietly.

There was a long moment of silence before Suzuya finally got up off the chair and made his way over to you quietly.

You lay on your back looking at the roof, his figure moves in the corner of your eye and he is suddenly laying beside you on the bed, curled into you.

His hand wraps around your waist, his nose buried in your neck, "(Y/n)"

You realize he is silently crying next to you, that guilt like a cold sweat runs over you again. You nervously bite your lip and turn to face him.
He buries his face into the bed to avoid you seeing him but it fails.

You can't help but feel terrible.
He may be demanding but maybe that's his way of hoping the more you do for him the more it's like you were remembering him.

"I'm sorry Suzuya" you whispered and trail your thumb over the stitches on the corner of his bottom lip.

That certainly grabbed his attention.

His watery eyes look at you with hope, but he knows the way you looked at him back then, your eyes now full of sorrow. His hand brushes the side of your face wanting like never before you kiss you.

Moving slightly forward he looks to your mouth to your eyes in a paused moment, slowly grabs your face whilst bitting his bottom lip and slowly lean in to kiss you.

Your heart jumps the minute his lips claim yours, your cheeks growing hot as you allow him to slowly devour your mouth.

He squeezed you closer as if reminding himself that this moment was real and only pulling back in hope that he saw a smile in your eyes.

Despite his wish not coming true, he was greatful to the fact you hadn't pushed him away. Laying back at your side and nestled back into place you both lay in silence until Seiko enters with dinner.
