"You can't tell him-"
"He really likes you!" You shook your head. "He really does, man, I'm his fricking roommate, he asks me about you almost everyday."
"What about me?"
"How you're doing, what's up with you, that sort of thing." You frowned. "Breathe, it's fine, you're okay- I just think it'd be nice for you to meet someone besides, you know, me."
"I don't like anyone else." He sighed. "I don't want to be Ethan's friend, Justin, you're my friend, right?" He smiled.
"Of course I am, but he really wants to get to know you so I just thought you might-"
"Please take a look around you," You said sarcastically. Justin sighed. "Yeah, you wanna fucking bring him here?" Justin ran a hand through his hair. For your best friend he wasn't being the most understanding today.
"I know, I know, but- you could explain it to him- E's a good guy, I promise, he's like-"
"I'm insane, Justin, you can't possibly expect him to be nice to me-"
"But he is!" You sighed, rubbing your forehead. "He would be, he'd be so nice to you- he really fucking likes you, man, he really does."
"Are you like- not taking no for an answer?" He smiled.
"No, I'm just trying to be convincing."
"What's in it for you?" He laughed.
"Maybe if you had a boyfriend everyone would stop thinking we're a thing?" You rollde you eyes and sat down on your stupid hospital bed.
"So you're embarrassed of me now." He laughed. "I'm scared," You whispered.
"Of?"
"Him being an asshole about- going back to school and saying shit-"
"Yeah but that's what I'm here for, no one's gonna say shit about my best friend, not even my roommate." You smiled and you turned to look at the time. "Visiting hours get shorter and shorter every time, man, I swear." You smiled as he headed to the door.
"It's okay- next week." He nodded and you blew him a kiss that he waved away. "Bye Justy!"
"Stop calling me that!"

"Did you, like, tell him?" Justin nodded. "What'd he say?"
"He had no idea what it was." You rolled your eyes. "I told him on the way here, kinda, what it's like for you, from what I see anyway, and he seemed cool with it?"
"Cool with it?" Justin smiled.
"I'm literally not leaving the room, he won't do anything to you, okay, I promise." You nodded and grabbed the ends of your bed, waiting. Justin left the room only to return with another person. You sighed, standing.
"Ethan."
"Hey-" You said. E looked around.
"I didn't know you were- here," Ethan said. You pulled on a smile.
"Oh well." He looked around before shoving his hands in his pockets and rocking on his heels.
"So-" He stopped. "How do you like it here?" You shrugged looking over at Justin.
