So Strange

Visitors

  "Oh~! I didn't see you there." The tallest approaches my bed and I face him.

  "Sato Akihiko, but you can call me Hiko." He states quickly then sticks his hand out. I shake it gently and then retract. I don't know if I want to talk to this man or not.

  "So, were you in the same accident as Nagi?"

  Out of the corner of my eye, I see Niragi roll his eyes. Possibly at the nickname or at his friend trying to make conversation with me. I just nod at Hiko.

  "You don't talk much? What's your name, blondie?" The green haired man, Maki, comes up to my bed and sits. Interesting?

  "Shuntaro Chishiya." I respond, and Maki inserts himself into the conversation.

  "Cute name. Say, has Niragi woken you up with his midnight masterbating yet?" My eyebrows raise involuntarily.

  When I glance at the ravenette, i find that he's hiding his face in a pillow. What a fun group of men. I smirk.

  "No, not yet. But I'm sure the tension is building up." I say slyly, and the two men laugh.

  "Is that true, Ragi? Do you need me to relieve you?" The shortest, Kenji, asks and climbs on top of the flustered ravenette.

  "Fuck! Get off of me, Kenji!" Niragi yells and pushes the brunette off with little force. The man in the chair laughs.

  "Shut it, Giang!" Another name learned.

  "Oh~, you're so grumpy. Does Ragi need a kiss~?"

  Maki gets off my bed and strides toward the angry ravenette. While the green haired man attacks Niragi, Hiko lays at the foot of my bed facing me. These people are so forward.

  "So, how's Nagi been? Pouty?" I nod, and the taller exhales a laugh.

  "He's such a fuck up. I hope all this will change his point of view." I glance toward Niragi again.

  "People like Niragi are stubborn and hard to change. Even if he changes his habits and mannerisms, he'll still be the same man. He'll still think the same; selfishly and tactless." Hiko looks at me with wide eyes.

  "Do you two know each other or something?" I take a moment to think of a response.

  "I'm adept at understanding people's motives and values. Once you learn those things, it isn't hard to track their mannerisms and predicted their actions. Though, i must say there is something familiar about Niragi." Hiko hums in acknowledgment.

  Soon after, a nurse enters the room and informs the group of four that their visiting time is up. Hiko had given me his phone number before he left. I doubt I'll have much use for it. Besides, I don't have a phone anymore. The nurse, however, did tell me this morning that my parents shipped a new phone to the hospital. How thoughtful.

  Currently, I'm sitting in bed and filling in a sodoku puzzle. I actually enjoy these. Niragi seems to be sulking in his bed. His friends did make quite a scene when they were here. They did a fine job at embarrassing Niragi, too. He should know that I didn't judge a single moment of his friends' visit. It was actually rather entertaining or, in the least, distracting. Hm. I'm in a good mood. Maybe I should try doing something good for a change. It's still morning.

  I get out of the hospital currently homing me and make my way to Niragi's side of the room. My legs aren't as sore as they were yesterday. I don't need to exert myself quite as much. When I make it to Niragi's bedside, he looks up at me.

  "Can I help you?" He asks indignantly. Pouting; how mature.

  "Would you like to take a walk with me?" I reach a hand out for the ravenette to grab. He just stares at the hand and then at me.

  "What are you playing at, Shuntaro?" I scoff humorously.

  "So you don't want to take a walk? Don't want to stretch your legs?" Niragi raises an eyebrow as one last attempt of affirmation. And then he takes my hand.

  I pull him carefully out of his bed. When Niragi's feet hit the ground, his knees buckle and give out. But I catch him and prop him up on my shoulder. He grunts.

  "I don't need you all up on me, Shuntaro. Let me walk by myself." The stubborn ravenette pushes me away, and I allow it.

  The moment we lose contact, Niragi falls to his knees, as expected. I reach to help him, but he swats my hand away. In a struggle, the ravenette manages to stand up straight. I didn't realize how tall Niragi is in comparison to my stance at 5'6.

  I grab the package of generic hospital slippers provided under the beds. The ravenette snatches the footwear from me, and tears open the back. Tossing them to the floor and slipping them on after words.

  "Are you ready?" I ask flatly, looking up at the tall ravenette. He tsks.

  "Whatever." Niragi starts for the door.
