"Hey Tsubaki you awake?" I knock on his door but he doesn't answer. I try the door knob and it opens. "Hey I'm coming in"

I walk in to see him in bed, asleep. I walk over and sit on the edge of the bed. He looked peaceful in his sleep, his hair was covering his face. I had the urge to move it out of his face, like comforting him in this sad time, but I didn't.

He screams and sits up, waking up from a nightmare. He looks around the room then at me. He gently grabs my cheek, pinching it.

"What are you doing" I say not pleased.

"So this isn't another dream"

"Aren't you supposed to pinch yourself?" I ask.

He hugs me from the side, burying his face in my neck. He takes a couple deep breaths then pulls away.

"I'm going to go visit him, do you want to come?" I ask him.

"No, not yet"

"Alright" I stand up to leave but he grabs my hand.

"Why do you have to go see him?"

"He's sick and my friend. I'm going to go visit him" I remove my hand from his and walk out the door.

I drive to the hospital, it didn't take that long. Me and Azusa were sitting on a bench outside. A breeze blew by, mine and Azusa's hair blew in the wind. We both stared at each other. He looked poetic, the wind blowing his hair out of his face showing both eyes.

"Um, so he uh-"

"You mean Tsubaki?" He cuts me off.

"Yeah, he thinks he's responsible for you ending up in the hospital, he thinks you don't want to see him" I tell him.

"I have a question. How do you really feel about Tsubaki?"

"Well, uh... I don't know. That night when you stopped him I felt grateful but now I'm confused"

"I'm not some hero. He was right, I was jealous. I'm in love with you" he pulls me into a hug, my cheeks start to feel warm. He pulls away noticing my discomfort. "I'm sorry. But me and Tsubaki aren't the only ones, multiple of us have gained feelings for you"

I stare wide eyed, blinking a couple times trying to process what he just told me. He turns around looking in the opposite direction. My phone rings, breaking up this awkward moment. Natsume was calling.

"Uh Natsume? How'd you get my number?"

"Tsubaki gave it to me. Anyway you should come back to the condo, Tsubaki is being difficult" he says.

"Fine I'll be there in a little bit" I hang up and turn to Azusa. "I'm sorry, I need to go. But I think Ema said she was going to visit"

I turn around and walk away. I drive back to the condo and head to Tsubaki's room. Natsume was there cleaning up Tsubaki's room for him. I stay at the door, listening to their conversation.

"Why were you fighting anyway, was it because of her?" Natsume asks.

My breath hitches. I couldn't have been the cause of their fight. Unless I was, it would make sense though.

"He's worried about you" Natsume says while standing up and walking out the door. I hide myself so he wouldn't know I was eavesdropping.

When he walks out I walk in to see Tsubaki on the phone. I wait for him to finish the call before I walk over to him. He hangs up and I walk through the mess to him. I sit on his bed, beside him, and place a hand on his.

"You should visit him. He's your brother"

He grabs my hand and squeezes it softly. "I will"

He stands up pulling me with him. He drags me out the door and outside. He ended up dragging me to the hospital. We went up to Azusa's room, he was sitting on a bed.

"I'm sorry" Tsubaki says placing a hand on his brothers. He still hadn't let go of mine.

"I think I should give you two some privacy" I try to walk away but Tsubaki's hand tightens on mine and Azusa grabs my other hand.

"Stay" they say in unison. I sit down on the bed, understanding that I wouldn't be able to leave anytime soon.

Tsubaki continues to apologize. They both move into a hug but since I was in between them I was taken into the hug as well. I sat wrapped in their arms, very awkwardly. I felt out of place, I wasn't supposed to be here listening to what they were talking about but here I was.

"I love you man" Tsubaki says.

I manage to slide out from their arms. I watch as they have their moment, a small smile makes its way onto my face. I was happy they finally made up, they've been bickering for long enough. And I couldn't stand the thought that it was most likely because of me.

They pull apart and stare at each other for a moment. Then they both turn to me. "We're sorry for the trouble we've caused you" they say in unison.

"You've been no trouble, trust me. But I think visiting hours are almost over, we should get going"

I give Azusa a small peck on the cheek then grab Tsubaki's hand and drag him out of the room. I wave to Azusa before making it out, I noticed a faint pink on his cheeks, a smile on his face. Tsubaki looked mad.

Shit did I make it worse?

We start to walk back, his hand in mine. His grip was tight, angry. I give his hand a tight squeeze to get his attention. He looks over at me and I look back to him.

"Stop looking like that, you don't want to end up in the hospital like Azusa do you?"

"No" he sighs.

I bring his arm over my shoulder, my arm crossing my body. He looked at me wondering what I was doing. I just lean into him.

"Everything will be fine, trust me"
