Two Hearts [Danganronpa OCs]

A/N: Just a little tidbit KhristynZoeBas and I wrote together for Hideyoshi and Rei. Hope you enjoy!

Everyone who has spent more than their fair share in one has an opinion on hospitals. Usually, it's associated with the feelings they've had while being entrapped inside. For this particular patient-- as a patient was exactly what he was, and always had been-- hospitals were quite frankly the most boring places on earth. Which was why, with multiple cords running from his hospital gown to the beeping monitor next to him, he sat with his knuckles supporting his puffed out cheeks. There was a book settled in front of him, although at this point he'd almost forgotten what it said. His eyes would occasionally flicker over the charts and anatomy pictures displayed atop the pages, but for the most part he simply stared in annoyance at overly patient nurse settled at a desk a few dozen feet away.

When the nurse happened to glance his way, the boy let out an exaggerated sigh.

"I wanna go outside."

The nurse, of course, simply offered him that patient smile of hers.

"I'm sorry."

The boy knitted his brow, pressing his knuckles more harshly against his cheek. No doubt there would be imprints against his skin when he finally quit pouting.

"Then let me go," he pressed.

"Not today, Rei-kun."

The six year-old gave yet another exaggerated sigh, rolling his eyes as an added effect.

"I won't fall off the playset this time."

The nurse chuckled and gave a small shake of her head.

"You know that's not the reason."

"Everyone else went outside," Rei complained.

"Not everyone. Some of the kids are still in their rooms," she corrected. "Perhaps you could go play with them."

Rei wrinkled his nose, eyes falling back down to his book.

"Nu-uh. Only Kimi-chan is any fun, and Shinyamura-sensei said I'm not allowed."

The reason for that was rather obvious. "Kimi-chan" happened to be a girl that had been revealed to have picked up a rather contagious virus. With his health, it would be dangerous for the boy to visit her. He, himself, was just barely getting over a respiratory infection that had caused rather serious concerns about the state of his heart. When his parents had been told all this, Rei had been allowed to listen. After all, most children wouldn't understand the medical talk that had been flying overhead.

Rei's eyes flickered over the textbook settled before him. Rei wasn't exactly most children.

"Hm..." the nurse mused, eyeing Rei with a rather familiar amount of pity. He really hated that look. "Well, I guess that means you must have already said hello to the new kid, then."

His eyes darted away from the book and back to the nurse. She laughed, the eagerness in plain view on the child's face, despite how he'd yet to move his knuckles from his cheek.

"A new person?" Rei asked.

She nodded, debating in her head how to deliver the information. Rei, a rather common face in the children's ward, was rather infamous for his stubborn nature. She assumed it came from being told what to do all the time-- most children disliked when they had no control over anything. Whatever the reason, she figured it was best to make it seem like Rei was doing the new child a favor by visiting.
