Everything Is Almost Okay

Room 11037

(A/N: Ishimaru is loopy and on some kind of pain killer IDK this chapter aka an excuse to make him ooc)

Eventually Kiyotaka was finally allowed to sleep some. They had him cleaned up, and a little bit of bandaging on his head. He had bandages elsewhere, mostly cuts and gashes from his bully experiences that never quite healed right. He was propped upright in his hospital bed, sitting up, so at first glance one would probably think he was awake. And yet, there he was; (almost) out cold. He had a strangely peaceful and almost contagious look of bliss on his face, lips lightly parted and all. He almost looked like the male equivalent of Sleeping Beauty, even! His breathing was finally back to normal, so that was good too. He had a few pieces of paper and a pencil still in his hand, left unfinishing a note he seemed to be writing.

When the door opened, it creaked rather loudly and caused him to stir a little. Without opening his eyes he said, "Who's there? "

"Who else do you think, Kyoudai?" Mondo walked in, calmly placing his food on the table by the door. He'll get to it later. "How Ya feelin'?" He was, of course, still worried as he approached Ishimaru.

Ishimaru cracked his eyes open just a little, but felt too tired to keep them open so he shut them again. "I thought you were my dad at first, or maybe a doctor... Hahaha! Isn't it really late? Why aren't you at home sleeping? Getting a full night's sleep is very important, you know!! " He raised his eyebrows and his voice a little. By the way his voice sounded, he sounded alot little.... off. Probably because he's on painkillers now.

Mondo sighs "I can't just leave ya here, it's shitty as it is and lonely... I don't need sleep" he tries to reassure him, but he sounded weird. How much morphine did they pump into this kid?

"Ah, well, okay.. " He went quiet for a moment and turned his head towards where he thought Mondo's voice was coming from. And then he opened his mouth. "Say, kyoudai... do you think wrecked vehicles go to heaven?"

He looks confused but thinks a second. "I don't know, maybe? I mean vehicles are not....really alive, sooo???" What a weird question, it must be the painkillers.

He props himself up and finally opens his eyes, blinking a few times and then intently staring at Mondo for a few seconds before letting them flutter close again. "Okay, well, do you think they have angel wings? Or perhaps they have mechanical wings? Maybe no wings at all?? "

"Well... I guess mechanical??? But where the hell did this even come from??" He taps his foot, almost regretting waking him up.

"I was thinking about the car ride earlier and how we could've crashed the car and maybe even died. We could've sent the car to heaven or hell! But besides that, would a vehicle's version of hell be a junkyard?"

"Holy shit....but Um i guess? Maybe. Don't you think you should kinda? Rest a little?"

"No, I'm perfectly fine! But wait, if a car's hell is a junkyard then what would the heaven be? Would it be a brand new car show? I bet you it would. There'd be so many cute guys-er, gals-there! Wait, would that mean cars have genders???? "

" I don't know, Taka. Cars aren't alive so I don't think gender applies to them???"

"I wonder if it depends on what type of muffler or accessories they have. Hey, what gender do you think a car with fuzzy dice or something is? Is gender based on their color? Or is it based on the name they get? "

"Kyoudai, if so then it's probably determined by the one who buys it. Same with name and such."

"But Mondo, how can that be? What about their seat designs? Maybe you could tell what gender they are by the steering wheel cover. If they have a gender, I mean. And I know some kids who name their cars like they were humans. Surely that must mean something. Maybe depending on what type of car gender they are, they have a different smell!! Kind of like that one children's movie.... oh what was it called again????....... CARS! yeah, that one! "

Kiyo let out a content sigh, and then lapsed into silence yet again. He spoke up like 5 minutes later, opening his doe-like eyes. "Hey Mondo, Let's play a game! It's called "what's one thing you've never done before?" I'll go first!! One thing I've never done before is.... Well, I'd say fall in love! But then that would /probably/ be a lie by now. I was certain I'd never be romantically interested to others until a few days ago. How about you?"

Mondo thinks to himself a little. "Well I'd say I never almost killed somebody with a blunt whack to the head till today" he laughs awkwardly. "Sorry again. For that.."

Ishimaru lets out a soft laugh. "It's quite alright, my dear! I've never done any friendship with a person before. You're my first friend! You should feel honored! "

"oh I should feel honored, huh?" he puts his hands behind his head and smirks. "i feel mighty honored to be your friend. kyoudai"

Ishimaru shakes his head in approval. "See! I knew you would! I, too, feel honored to have met you. You're so caring and totally not scary!! You've saved my life about 3 or 4 times now, so I am forever in your debt....Hey, come here, I have a secret I wanna tell yooooooooou! ~" He asked as he motioned for Mondo to come near his bed.

"Huh? Not like any one will hear you any way...eh whatever" he heads over to Ishimarus side and leans in a bit. "Yeah? What is it?"

"Come closer, please. I gotta whisper it. "

He sighs but does what he said. Leaning in even closer to Ishimaru, it was an awkward closeness, very little between their faces at this point. "Good enough?"

"Just a liiiiiiiitle closer, please. "He grinned slyly, and licked his lips a little.

He looks more irritated and puffs a bit, but gets even closer God, what was so important that he had to make mondo get this close?

He leaned over to press his lips against Mondo's cheek, but Mondo turn his head and said, "Kyoudai, I really don't see the point in thi--"-oops! Ishimaru had just accidentally kissed Mondo partially on the lips! He froze for a second, but pulled away as fast as possible. He tried changing the subject as quick as he could. "Ah, thank you so much, for everything! You are such a great person, mondo." He nervously laughed, twiddling his fingers. He hoped to God Mondo wouldn't say anything about what just happened. "Ahhm, so, Uhh, maybe I should get some rest now... "

Mondo's face was burning as he coughed awkwardly. "Uh yeah, maybe some rest would be good for you...Yeah..." He looks away and rubs his neck nervously.

"Good night, Mondo. Do try to get some rest yourself, okay? You look really worn out." And with that, Ishimaru turned on his side and faced away from Mondo,

"I'll try...you need it more though." He gets up and goes back to his seat and sits down leaning against the wall with his hands behind his head.

(A/N: how does morphine even work?)
