Chapter Text
5 AM
the sunlight shined through the hospital window, casting it's soft yellows on Rin
even if hes asleep, he knows it morning with his closed eyesight turning orangish. He's a light sleeper after all.
it reminded him of someone who was just as soft as this sunlight.
deep blue eyes, a dark starry ocean at quiet nights. yet it was always warm
a genuine smile plastered on their face, it was like the sand. if someone cried, the smile acted as the sand would absorb the tears.
I sagi.
Watch the sunrise along the coast
As we're both getting old
I
can't describe what I'm feeling
And all I know is we're going home
he wanted him here with him, hold his hand or ruffle his hair. whatever he usually does.
fortunately, the voice he wanted to hear most ringed to his ears (?)
"Rin!"
the taller one does his effort to open his eyes (man his body does NOT want to corporate with him.)
and look there he is, sitting beside his bed. with worry and concern written all over his face, though..a spark of relief was seen on Isagi's face for a second.
"You look like shit."
"as if you're not the one in bed, dumbass!"
woah, first thing both did after Rin was awake. was to banter the fuck out, but it wouldn't be a Rin or a Isagi if there's no banter.
"anyways, are you okay? like. you're not, but are you okay like..mentally right now??"
oh
he didnt expect that. Why did Isagi ask that? he thought a person like him would ask him only if hes okay.
"..Yeah?? why'd you even ask that, lukewarm."
"no seriously, are you okay..?"
jeez, a stubborn versus a stubborn. a battle meant to be! its annoying though
trying to avoid but the other keeps nagging you
trying to find out but the other keeps running away
.
maybe he should just drop it, its gonna turn into a full argument if one of them doesn't finally stop.
"uh, no."
"knew it."
oh, so this bastard DOES know. he just wanted to be confirmed???
"what did you do to be in here anyways.."
Rin's body shook, his breath hitched a bit. he looked down, suddenly feeling a small wave of guilt washing over him. why did Isagi even ask that anyways..? he thought the other was gonna forget about that question. turns out he DID remember
"ah, you dont need to say it now, or tomorrow, or ever actually
I just want you to be okay."
"..mhm."
a hum was what he can only reply with, though. Isagi's reassurance did work on him though.
____________________________
Isagi was worried as hell, well. anyone would after finding out their friend was hospitalized NO explanation from his older brother
he had to call the taxi, hurried to the hospital as fast as he can once Sae dropped the news.
talked to the receptionist, ran (well not ran, but he did walk fast so..) to room 501, where apparently Itoshi Rin is staying there.
and there he was, sleeping in that GODDAMN hospital bed. looking pathetic as ever, with all the bandages and shit
yet.. he looks, pretty cute actually. even when hes in a vulnerable state
not like hes a sadist or anything (unlike someone), but Rin just looks cute vulnerable and peaceful alright?
so like any normal person would do, he gently place his hand on the latter's cheek gently. its cold, but not to the point its like a dead corpse though.
but he never knew Rin's cheek would be..that soft??
squishy and all that shit. he should do this more often when he's awake! :]
I don't care how long it takes
As long as I'm with you
------
well, its a kinda disappointing result. but its Rin, and it wouldn't be Rin if he just straight up explains why anyways.
before he could stay in his train of thoughts any longer. a yawn was heard
specifically, Rin's yawn was heard.
he snapped out of his little world and take a look at the taller one and yep.
hes sleepy, again isn't he?
------
"Hey, you're tired again aren't you?"
he heard Isagi's voice asked him softly, finally looking up at him. he could still see that same fucking concern on his face.
"yeah. so leave, I need to sleep you half-baked."
"you look like you want me to stay though.."
FUCK.
"..fine, stay."
I don't care how long it takes
As long as I'm with you, I've got a smile on my face
Save your tears, it'll be okay
Yeah, if with me
Oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I can't describe, oh, oh
Rin lied back on his bed, closing his eyes and trying to go back to sleep (not if he turned his back on Isagi first though)
and Isagi gently caresses Rin's hair while that.
it had gotten longer too, when was the last time he even cut it anyway? its right at his shoulders now.
.
it feels nice.
