The hospital was usually quite a calm place, despite what most might think. Sure, there was the fact that it was filled with injured or sick people, but it was an ordered chaos really. The grounds were almost always filled with laughter, and you could see various people strolling around. There was rarely a ruckus in such a calm environment as-

"TENMA SIT DOWN!"

"No! Let me go, Yuu!" Tenma cried back. Yuu wrapped his arms around Tenma's waist, dragging the boy back.

"You have a broken leg," Yuu hissed, "You are not prohibited to run around like this!"

"I don't care!" Tenma gripped Yuu's arm, attempting to pry him off so he could do as he liked. After seeing the game of soccer, the feelings Tenma had for the game refused to fade away and Tenma couldn't take it anymore. He just had to play, injured leg or not. He would put up with the pain if need be. As long as he could play soccer himself!

Which was why Yuu as currently restraining him. Tenma could understand his concern, but he really wanted to play! Yuu didn't want him to injure his leg any further than he already had and refused to allow him to play the game.

"Tenma!" Yuu demanded, having to use more force to drag the boy back. Yuu had known that Tenma's physical strength would be nothing to laugh at, what with his natural strength and actual training, which had been enhanced by the procedure he had gone through. But damn, Tenma was stronger than he originally thought. This kid and surprises.

"Yuu, let me play!" Tenma cried.

"No! You'll only injure yourself!" Yuu dragged Tenma back further but Tenma only continued to recklessly kick his legs and claw at Yuu's arms. Tenma's body had already healed his leg but that wasn't the problem anymore. His body was still adjusting to the modifications and stress to his body could result in unforeseen circumstances.

"I don't care! I just wanna play!" Tenma continued to struggle, attempting his best to pry Yuu's hands off his waist. Both boys ignored the looks they were receiving. Yuu grunted, somewhat impressed at Tenma's struggling, considering he was kicking both his legs wildly. Did Tenma really not feel much pain for such actions or was he ignoring it for the sake of wanting to play Soccer? Either way, Yuu was impressed.

But frustrated.

He was sure this would one day come in handy but right now, it was working against him. It would definitely be highly useful one day, no doubt about it but right now was not a moment where Tenma needed to go against his pain to get what he wanted. No, what he needed now was to heal. Something he couldn't do if he was playing Soccer.

"You're ridiculous! Stop this! Or so help me, Tenma, when you come back to the team, I'll keep you off training for an extra two weeks for this!" Yuu hissed angrily, finally having enough. Tenma stopped with a gasp as he craned his head back to look at Yuu in both a mixture of shock and disbelief.

"What?! You can't do that!" He cried indignantly. Yuu carefully set Tenma down but kept a firm grip on him in case he started struggling again.

"Yes I can," Yuu hissed, glaring at his to-be team mate. "I'm your captain, I can do whatever I want and you'll have no choice but to follow my orders. So if I choose to keep you off training for two weeks because you won't listen to me, then you'll be off training for two weeks."

"But... Pleaseeeee?" Tenma begged, turning around to face Yuu as his eyes sparkled and he clasped his hands in front of his chest. Yuu's glare merely hardened. Yuu had his own orders to follow, he couldn't be preoccupied with Tenma's whims.

"No," he repeated, his mind set on not changing. "Now, we are going back inside because apparently, you cannot be trusted out here, even with someone accompanying you," With that, Yuu turned around and picked up Tenma's crutches and then handed them to the disappointed boy.
