Mr. Sandman

Sleepers and Coffee

"What the hell did the two of you think you were doing?"

"We were doing our job but something happened..."

"Are you stupid? What would HQ say? Actually, never mind HQ, what would Kai say? You're lucky he isn't here right now."

"Psh, I can take Kai."

"Really? Then what about Ivan and Jay? Can you take on all three of them?"

"Robin, calm down, I think they did the right thing bringing her here."

The voices kept bickering in the background as I felt myself wake up. There was a pounding sensation wrapping around my head, like a burning growing stronger the more awake I became. Squinting my eyes open, I found myself staring at a bright white ceiling. The lights were blinding and the headache I had grew more powerful.

I couldn't help but groan.

"Hey, take it easy," a soft voice said as I felt hands helping me up.

"You took a real beating back there, I'm surprised you're awake."

"Beating?" I mumbled. I don't remember... "Oh! Where is he? The shadow man?!"

"Don't worry about it for now," the soft voice said. It belonged to a beautiful man with dark blond hair. His eyes were blue and his lips were quite pink that I couldn't believe they were real. His skin was unblemished and his lashes were long making me wonder if he really was a man. All that was missing was a halo and I would be looking at an angel. An angel that looked quite concerned.

"Are you okay? Is your head still hurting? I could grab some Tylenol for it," he said, scrambling towards a metal cabinet behind him.

"Who are you?" I asked uneasily as the beautiful stranger continued to look inside the cabinet.

"Oh, my name's Yuta. I would say nice to meet you but under the circumstances, I don't really think it's appropriate." He held his hand out which contained the familiar blue and red pills as well as a bottle of water. The small smile on his face made me freeze for a moment. Should I really trust this stranger so easily?

"Yah, Yuta! Why didn't you call and tell us she was awake?" someone called out from the doorway. Familiar purple locks caught my eye as I found Leo standing there with bandages across his face. He looked bruised and battered. Yellow, red, and brown marred his otherwise handsome face.

"You!" I shouted, pointing at him aggressively and making Yuta stumble with the pills and bottle.

"I'm sorry!" I said as I tried to grab his hands before everything fell to the floor.

Too late.

The opened bottle spilled along with the pills as Yuta huffed and glared at Leo, "Really? You had to pop in like that?"

The purple-haired man shrugged. He looked unbothered until someone hit him on the back of his head.

"Robin," he whined.

"Don't Robin me! Go get some towels and wipe the mess you made," he scolded the purple-haired man who now looked like a kicked puppy as he bit his lip and made his way towards another cabinet in the room.

I looked towards Robin curiously as he continued to scold the other man. He looked like an angry mother scolding her child when they did something wrong. Leo in turn continued to mope as he wiped the towel on the floor and picked up the half-empty bottle that slipped from Yuta's fingers.

"Aish... And you," Robin looked towards Yuta as he walked closer, "You were supposed to call us when she woke up."

"Sorry, Robin. She was in pain and I was giving her some Tylenol," Yuta answered as he brushed his hair back from his forehead.
