Tamaki's pov

I woke up, placing one hand over my head which was pounding hard like someone was repeatedly hitting my skull with a hammer. I sat up and rubbed my fingers over the tip of my ear which was tingling. I heard something shifting next to me. I reached out to where my bedside cabinet was and searched for my little sight bringers. My fingers brushed over one and I picked it up, searching for the other. I found it and proceeded to put both of them in. I flicked the tiny switch and let them load up. When they were done, I turned towards where I heard the noise. Tamaki and Hitoshi were sitting next to my bed, the former laying with his arms on the bed and head resting on top and the latter resting against the back of his chair with his head dropped down and arms crossed. I looked around the room. This wasn't my room. I reached up to my forehead and felt bandages wrapped around it. I turned to the side when I heard movement beside me again. Hitoshi lifted up his head, blinking slightly before looking at me. We stare at each other for a minute.
"Oh my god. You're awake" he states in shock before he began to hit Tamaki on the back. Tamaki lifted his head up, yawning wide and twitching his ears.
"What's going on?" he Mumbles sleepily, rubbing his eyes.
"Tamaki's awake" Hitoshi says, pointing to me. He looks at me, ears twitching again.
"You woke up. We've been waiting for 2 days now" he responds, smiling slightly.
"Where's dad? Is he alive?" I ask, leaning forward.
"He is alive.... But he's covered in bandages from head to toe. Literally. He's like a mummy" Hitoshi jokes at the end. I look down at my lap.
"I couldn't do anything to help him. I can't believe that happened" I sigh, closing my eyes and gripping the sheets.
"Well, it's not like you were the one who hurt him so it isn't really your fault" Tamaki Mumbles, tugging on his fingers.
"You guys suck at pep talks" I snort, leaning back in the bed.
"Not that bad" Hitoshi Mumbles, looking away.
"I'm so done. I could use a coffee just about now" I sigh, slouching down.
"I'll go get one" Tamaki Mumbles, getting up from his seat and walking out of the room. I look at Hitoshi.
"Recovery girl came around. She said she'll heal you when you woke up so she'll probably come around later" he explains.
"And what about dad and auntie Nemuri?"
"They're with dad. He's being let out later today but he'll need someone to take care of him. Since both his arms are broken" he replies. The door opens again and Tamaki walks in, handing me a paper cup.
"Black?"
"Yes"
"Only a splash of milk?"
"Yes" I take a sip and blink.
"There's creamer in this" I tell him.
"Oh. Whoops. Sorry. I messed it up again-"
"Hush. It's fine. It's just coffee. It's not like you threw it on my face or something" I explain, taking another sip of the bevarage.
"I can't believe you're the one who's the good comforter" Hitoshi snorts, fishing out a lollipop from his pocket and sucking on it.
"You say that like it's a surprise" I say plainly.
"It kinda is, even if we already knew that" Tamaki replies, tugging on the little string of his hoodie and fumbling it around with his fingers.
"Yeah well I'll be glad to get out of here, even if I have only been aware of it for about 10 minutes" I sigh, scratching my neck.
"Oh, I have something" Hitoshi states. I raise an eyebrow, urging him to continue.
"Dad told us who brought you to the medics and guess who it was" he starts, twitching his eyebrows teasingly.
"I don't want to guess so just tell me"
"Mr son of Endevour Todoroki himself"
"Why would that bother me?" I ask.
"Isn't he your boyfriend or something?" Tamaki asks. I sputter on my coffee.
"What? He's not even my friend. Yeah we fought once but that doesn't make him my boyfriend or anything. I don't even think I'd consider him an acquaintance. Just a guy that happens to be in my class" I reply, running one hand through my hair.
"Oh, our bad. But he did say you were his, sounds kinda possesive" Hitoshi shrugs.
"You heard that out of context. He didn't mean it in as anything but a way to get rid of those guys or something" I explain.
"How do you know what he meant? Did you ask him?"
"Well no but....... I can just assume is all" I grumble, turning away.
"Now just drop it" I add on.
"Fine. I'm gonna go get food. I'm starved and I need some coffee" Hitoshi explains.
"I'm kinda hungry too. See you later Tamaki" Tamaki adds on, getting up out of his own seat. Both of them left the room and I was alone. I looked at the wall in front of me, sipping my coffee. Hopefully I wouldn't be here too long.
