A couple hours later, in the early morning, Hito shifted up feeling a bit better. He noticed Aki sitting next to the bed with his legs and arms crossed sitting in the chair asleep. Hito smiled a bit, and took the main blanket covering him and carefully draped it over Aki before laying back down to rest some more.
It didn’t take long for Aki to realize he was warming up. He yawned awake, looking at the blanket on him and then to Hito. A slight chuckle came from him as he shifted and placed the blanket back over Hito. “This should be yours. You’re the one who’s sick,” He said, petting the top of Hito’s spikey blond hair.
Aki stretched a bit. A knock came on the door as Noah let himself in.
“Hey,” Noah said softly, walking over to Aki. “How is he?”
“Sick..”
“I meant…”
Aki shrugged, “He’s not wheezing as badly. I think he’s doing a bit better. What’s up?”
“I got a call from Roen.”
“Yeah?”
“He’s coming back in a few days…” Noah said softly. “He says all the dorms are filled up so he was hoping he could have his room back?”
“Hito’s in it now.” Aki said flatly.
Noah frowned, “Aki…”
Aki turned to look at him, “It’s Hito’s room now. Not Roen’s.”
Noah then glared at him, “You’re so selfish!”
“Me?” Aki laughed. “You’re the one who wants to kick Hito out for Roen? That guy’s a raving drunkard.”
Noah slapped Aki’s cheek. “Like you’re any better. Maybe we’ll kick you out instead.”
Aki stood up, turning to Noah. “I’d like to see you try! I paid for this dorm specifically! I’m not leaving.”
Noah pushed Aki away from him, “Well you should. You do no good!”
“I do good!” Aki pushed Noah.
“Do not!” Noah pushed. “You laze around all day until something that catches your interest happens and then you act!”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about.” Aki said, pushing Noah back again.
Noah again pushed Aki, so hard he fell backwards onto Hito’s legs. “I know that Roen’s coming back and he wants his room!” And he stormed out, slamming the door behind him.
“Jerk.” Aki cursed as he sat up, rubbing his chin a bit.
Hito had been shocked awake from Aki landing on his legs. He sat up a bit, looking to Aki and then after Noah and then back to Aki. “Do I…?” Aki looked to Hito, surprised he was awake. “Have to leave?”
Aki sighed and shook his head. “…I dunno. Roen’s coming back apparently.”
Hito nodded, sitting up more, wincing as he went. “Then I’ll…”
“No!” Aki pushed Hito back down roughly, sitting almost on top of him. “You can’t leave.” Hito stared. “You… You just can’t.”
A few moments passed, then Aki got up and left the room without a word or look to Hito.
Hito sighed, unsure what to do. He just settled back under the warm covers and tried to get comfortable again.
Aki was downstairs yelling between Noah and Mastuki about the housing arrangments. After a few more hours, they finally agreed that if Hito didn’t leave of his own free will, that Roen couldn’t come back.
