"There’s nothing wrong with you!" the doctor shook his head, trying to convince his patient. The patient lay on the bed, pouting. The nurse, who stood behind the older man looked at them confusedly. Shinya shook his head, still pouting.
"No…I feel so cold!"
Yoshida-san sighed for the tenth billion time, "No…Shinya-kun…You’re fine! See, I checked!" he placed his left palm on the pretty man’s forehead, "There’s nothing wrong with you!" he smiled. The younger one wrinkled his nose, "I have a fever! I’m feeling so cold" the drummer wriggled under the blanket, shivering a little.
The older man could only sigh, again, seeing that pleading big innocent looking eyes stared at him. He turned to the nurse, who shrugged and was probably wondering why the experienced doctor seemed confused. The older man turned back to Shinya, who was still staring at him.
"Maybe you should check again! I feel so cold! I think I have a fever…"
Shinya pouted.
"There’s nothing wrong with you Shinya-kun. I’ve checked. The nurse had checked!"
Shinya sulked.
"What do you want Shinya-kun?"
The drummer widened his eyes, turning away. What did he want? What did he want? Shinya bit his lips, staring at the ceiling. His lips parted and he mouthed –what do I want- in silence. Shinya joined his eyebrows, looking confused. The doctor smiled slowly, waiting patiently.
"What do you need, Shinya-kun?"
The doctor asked again, knowing where this question would lead to. Shinya touched his forehead, mumbling something inaudibly. His fingers gripped the blanket tightly. The nurse touched the doctor’s arm, shooting a worried expression on her face. Yoshida-san smiled, telling her not to worry.
"What do I want? What do I need?"
Shinya turned to the doctor, and everything seemed clear to the drummer as he blushed furiously. The older man smiled warmly,
"Shinya-kun…take a good rest okay?" he brushed Shinya’s hair lovingly, "Don’t worry about things…you’ll be out of here in two days. And you are not getting any fever! Just have a good sleep ne? I'll be here if you need me!" he stroke Shinya’s cheek lightly and Shinya blinked once towards that light touch. (Doh, Nanchan brain stuck! Any meaningless words, gomenasai –L7) The drummer looked at him confusedly,
"What do I need…doctor?"
The doctor laughed, "Shinya-kun…why don’t you ask yourself?"
"My…self?"
"Hai. You should know the answer…Oyasuminasai" the doc winked and turned the lights off. Shinya blinked in surprise finding himself in the darkness. He sighed and covered his head with the blanket, "I…" he whispered. What did Shinya want?
"I don’t know…"

Die licked his drying lips in anxiety holding the doorknob. The man standing right in front tilted his head and gave a crooked smile, "Evening…not bothering you eh?" the red head shook his head stupidly, "No…come-come in!" Die scratched his head as he stepped aside. Toshiya nodded and walked pass him.
"What do you…" Die stopped, "What are you doing here?" Toshiya pouted, his fingers dug deeper into his pockets, ‘Can’t I just pay a visit?"
"Eh…sure. But…it’s just a bit weird" Die stuttered and opened a bottle of beer, then handed it to the younger one. The bassist’s eyes paced the living room and few empty bottle were everywhere. The younger man sighed and threw himself on the couch, taking a slow sip.
Die sat beside the bassist, "Eh, so…?" he looked at Toshiya slightly, not knowing what to say. The truth shut him up, the painful truth. The doctor was right. Why bother finding about the truth? If he gave up then, he wouldn’t have felt the pain right now…and Toshiya’s truth…
"You are thinking, since you found out about what happened to me before…you don’t know what to say?" Toshiya asked, holding the bottle tightly in his hands, looking slightly weird but managed to cover it up as he turned to Die. The older man widened his eyes, "Eh…"
"Die…I know you okay?"
Toshiya leaned back on the couch, smiling.

"Shinya-kun…you have no fever…"
Shinya whimpered, "But I…" the doctor shut his own eyes, "Shinya-kun…there is nothing wrong with you! you’re really fine!" the drummer sighed and turned away, pouting.
"What do you want…?"
Shinya shook his head, "I’m cold…" he replied stubbornly.
The doctor called a nurse, "Okay, Shinya-kun…I'll ask a nurse to be here, tonight. She’ll stay in case you need anything, but you DON’T have a fever! Don’t worry okay?" he turned to the younger man. Shinya looked at the woman for a short while, then back to the doctor again. Before Shinya could protest the doc shook his head.
"She will stay to take care of you…so don’t say anything! I’m being hard but it’s all for your own good! Now get some sleep!" Yoshida-san sounded cold and determined, so Shinya shut up. It felt funny, like scolding a spoilt child. The drummer sighed and rolled to his left, refusing to look at them.
The nurse closed the door, sighed then walked towards the couch.
"No!"
She stopped. Shinya looked at her weirdly, "Not on that couch"
The woman looked at it weirdly, then shrugged, "Okay…" she was assuming maybe the patient wanted her to sit closer to the bed, so she walked towards the chair by the bed, "Not on that chair!"
The nurse narrowed her eyes, "Then where do you want me to sit Shinya-kun? I can’t stand up the whole night!" she pouted, "Maybe you want me not to be here?" the patient shook his head then pointed at a chair near the window, far from the bed, which looked a lot more comfortable than the one near the bed. "There…" Shinya spoke, softly.
The woman sighed.

"What is it that you want?" (Eh, want a DiexToshiya lemon here? Screws the plot ne…L7)
Toshiya grabbed Die by the collar, "You know what I want to say!" he hissed, "Tomorrow you just HAVE to be there!" Die slapped the other’s hands away, "No! I’ve told myself not to think about Shinya! this whole thing is so stupid! Toshiya, I’m not going!"
"Shinya NEEDS you!" Toshiya screamed.
"How do you know?!!! He kicked me out!!!" Die yelled back. But then he noticed the sudden change in Toshiya’s expression, "Of course I know, Die…I know how he feels. Exactly…"
Die gulped and turned away, "Nobody can change my mind! I’m already determined that there will be no more Shinya in my life!" Toshiya stared at him, "Even with Shinya begging us to bring you there?" Die almost choked, "God Totchi! How the heck will it happen?!"
The younger one smiled, "It will, only if you’re there!"
Die watched as Toshiya slowly walked away, but then he got up pulling Toshiya’s arm, "Wait!!!" Toshiya stared at him confusedly, "Change your mind?" he smiled. The red head shook his head, "No! But…this might not be my business…" the younger one joined his eyebrows.
"But…what will happen, to YOU?"
Toshiya shut his eyes, not answering that. The red head held his arms strongly, "Toshiya…what are you going to do with Kaoru? you know he didn’t mean to hurt you…you know he didn’t-" the bassist put a finger on his lips, so he stopped. "Don’t talk about that…"
"But…"
"That’s my own problem! You have more important things to do, like showing up tomorrow.." He heard Die sighed tiredly, "No!"
"Then bye…baka Die…"
Toshiya mumbled before slamming the door hard.

Yoshiki growled and threw the phone against the wall, instantly regretting what he had just done. It was smashed into pieces, and didn’t even look like a phone! The man brushed his hair, sighed aloud and walked towards his bedroom, slamming the door as he entered.
Kyo, Kyo…where could you be?
*
Shinya opened his eyes, the sight of a sleeping woman greeted him. It was useless getting a nurse to ‘take care’ of him, coz he wasn’t even asleep and she was already in slumber land! The drummer sighed softly and turned over, immediately the sight of the couch came to his vision.
The couch…
Shinya blinked. The couch where he was so used to see some certain red head on it. How the red head would stirred, moved in his sleep, or…drank some water, or even sometimes…heard the soft snore. Then Shinya looked at the chair near the bed. The red head sometimes sat there, waiting…watching him. But other times, he would rest his head on the bed, and Shinya would carefully brushed his hair…
Shinya shut his eyes and pulled the blanket over his head, refusing to think about it any further.
Die…why isn’t he here tonight…?
