"This is your room, Nakano-San." Shinohara gestures to the simple hospital room.

Juuzou tucks me into the bed and plops down on the couch.

"I'm going to finish up some reports and then we'll be heading home; okay, Juuzou?" Shinohara tells him.

"I wanna stay with Nakano-San." Juuzou pouts.

"Huh?" Shinohara's eyes widen momentarily before settling back into their easy-going state.

"You should ask Nakano-San." Shinohara says softly.

Juuzou turns to me with a determined look in his eyes. "May I keep you company for the night, Nakano-San?" He asks.

"If you want.. It would be nice to have somebody with me." I smile slightly.

He actually wants to spend the night with me? Me?!

"Thank you, Nakano-San!" Juuzou gushes.

He turns back to face Shinohara.

"Would it be possible to ride home with you so I can grab some things?" Juuzou asks.

"We can head over now, so then I can finish my work without worrying." Shinohara agrees.

"Be right back!" Juuzou calls as he runs out followed by a chuckling Shinohara.

Once the door shuts, I look mindlessly about the room.

It's an okay-size, I guess.. There a couch and an arm chair and some stiff looking chairs. There's also a bathroom and a tv and some weird medical gadgets.

It reeks of rubbing alcohol.

I pull my phone out of my picks and start playing mindless games on it like Crossy Road.

"Pardon the intrusion!" Juuzou shouts as he flings the door open, causing me to jump in surprise.

"Did you have to be so loud?" I wince as the pain from jumping hits my back.

"I brought you pajamas." Juuzou says, ignoring my complaint.

"Thanks.." I say.

"Would you like me to change you now?" He asks.

"What?"

"You can't move..."

"But.."

"Yes?"

"Aren't there.."

"Would you like a stranger to do it instead?"

"But you're a.."

"A stranger?" Juuzou finishes as he walks up to me. He gently holds my face with his warm hand and looks at me gently. "I don't think I am a stranger at this point, don't you? And besides, even if I am, I don't intend to stay one for very long."

"Suzuya-Kun?" I whisper.

"Juuzou. Call me Juuzou."

"I-I don't know.." I mumble.

He places his other hand on my face as well and says, "Please?"

"J-Juuzou-Kun.." I blush.

"Thank you," he says as he closes his eyes.

He backs up and grins at me.

"I'll find a nurse!" He says as he runs out.

I lift my hand up to touch the cheek he had just been holding. "Juuzou-kun.." I whisper to myself, slightly smiling.

Hey guys, hope you liked this bit. I was gonna make this chapter longer but I kinda just wanted it to focus on that one scene..

Gosh, I hate hospitals. My grandma and great aunt are/were in their nineties and my aunt also has a bajillion health issues so I kinda spend a bunch of time in hospitals. My grandmas actually in there right now and my moms been with her for the past few weeks and I've slept there as well to keep my mom company so I've done a bit of research on how hospitals work so that this doesn't suck :)

Sorry for the whole "woe is me thing". I hate writing authors notes XD

Love you guys!
