*SHIZIGAWA RESIDENCE*
It had already been 3 hours since Doctor Aeko had gone inside the room to operate on guy who was shot and Teijii was pacing up and down looking all worried ,all eyes were on him.He was the most uncaring person they have ever known but now he was like a husband waiting for his wife to deliver their baby,one of the gang member walked right next to him and sat on the opposite chair closer to his other subordinate and nudged him"Hey,what's wrong with him??since when does he care so much.."The other guy was about to answer when he saw Teijii's glare,he suddenly got up and kicked the guy that asked" What's it's to you??You're a man but you're full of gossip..are you out of a Job got nothing to do??."He suddenly looked at the guy on the floor apologetically as if saying (if not you then it'll be me so bear with it.)he kicked him a couple of more times before dragging him out and laughing nervously looking at Teijii"Sorry boss,you know people these days are just so unreliable.All gossip as if they're women."Teijii said nothing just carried on pacing around,the others sensed his mood wasn't good and quickly got out and left him on his own in the hall.After a few more hours Doctor Aeko suddenly came out,his eyes were baggy showing the exhaustion of working on his own.Teijii literally rushed to him holding him by the collar "How is he??"Aeko struggled to breathe for a few seconds"Well Young Master Teijii how can I talk if you're checking me??!!"Teijii then realized his aggressive manner towards the doctor,he didn't apologize just stared at him expectedly"Well he's fine,like Mario said it wasn't that serious..it's just going to take a while before the drug comes out of his body fully,he also has a high fever so he might need someone to take care of him every now and then...also make sure he takes his medicine in time to help stabilize him ,the drug inside his system is quite strong ..
. So take care."Doctor Aeko walked away leaving Teijii on his own,he hesitated getting inside but he had to check if everything was okay.
The moment he got inside the room he was expecting machines to be tied to the man on the bed but there was nothing he was just laying on the bed groaning in what seemed like pain,his black hair was covering his face ,his lips seemed better and not as pale as before and he was laying on only his short his chest was exposed..Teijii couldn't help but stare at the man infront of him.He said his name like it was barely a whisper"Toma?."But Toma didn't respond ,Teijii watched as Toma kept his eyes closed while clutching tightly at the sheets as if doing the best he could to not scream..Teijii got closer to him and touched his hand that's when Toma suddenly shot his eyes open..Teijii was just about to back away when Toma held his hand tightly,Teijii was suprised his eyes almost bulged out but he kept his composure "You idiot!!I told you not to go but you still insisted now look at you all bandaged like a mummy!!."His voice was loud and angry,Toma just stared at Teijii with his brown eyes and gave a tiny smirk"I'm sorry but it's my job to protect you if I didn't go..The master would have scolded or punished me but most importantly it's because I wanted to.Sorry for making you worry."Toma squeezed Teijii's hand a little ,Teijii seemed angry but his ears were turning slightly red ,he roughly pulled his hand away and glared at Toma "If you want to die then do it but don't you dare say it's for my sake you idiot..."He walked away quickly without looking back ,Toma sat back and gave a small smile at the disappearing figure but then the pain seemed to bring him back to reality..
*WATER SANITATION BUILDING*
Mario left that day and didn't even call making me worry,I want to text him but I'm worried that I might seem a bit clingy.Work has been keeping me a bit busy but it's still not enough to get my head off him.I keep checking my phone regularly but nothing I know it's only been a day since we talked but I really miss his presence."Kao Anade!!"The manager suddenly called me over.i wonder why he seemed angry but he was always angry I've been here for 3 days but I already know he has a temper.."Yes Sir."He scanned me up and down like I was some kind of ant "There are 3 plants I want you to check up on for me by Friday I want a full report and solutions to them.. the first one refuses to take out the sludge,the second one refuses to grind or grate solid material while the third one refuses to purify the water.. "I was a new Comer here but he was already giving me a hard time...this job was beyond my pay grade especially since everyone knows how dangerous it is to just inspect a plant...and with the exposure of chemicals it really wasn't good for me but a job is job"Yes sir I'll do just that"He walked away leaving me all alone sighing ,I walked to the toilet because I felt like vomiting.I took out the pills Doctor Orion had recommended for me ,they have helped me a lot I felt a lot more alive then most days he suddenly called,speak of the devil"Doc ,hey."His voice seemed jolly "Hey kiddo are you okay??have you taken the medication yet??"He was really eager about them "Uhh yes Doc thanks I feel a lot better since taking them."He laughed through the phone and we talked about other relevant stuff before he hung up.Doc gave me these pills on Sunday ,it is Monday today but they already work wonders he said they help with blood stimulation and decrease the symptoms of this disease I have.When I got out of work I was exhausted and my mind suddenly drifted to this morning when I looked a the calender it was already the 5th day now and I only had 16 days left before I go ,atleast I'll be payed by then and I'll leave mom with a little bit of money.i was about to drown in my sorrows when I came out of the building and saw a familiar figure standing outside.He had a cigarette in his hand and he looked lost in thought just sitting on top of his car waiting ,he didn't tie his hair up so the wind was blowing it in all directions I expected him to look ugly like that but he seemed even more handsome, he was wearing black trackpants and a loose white t- shirt and some sneakers. The moment he saw me he jumped off the car and threw away the cigarette and fanned himself with his hands trying to get rid of the smell as if that would do the trick.He smiled at me and man was he tall if I could guess he was about 6'2 the height difference between us is just too big,I walked slowly to him and as soon as I got to him.He gave me a hug and after a few minutes pulled away "Hi."His voice was low and his blue eyes bore straight into my soul they seemed a little swollen as if he was crying.I was about to answer him when he opened the car for me gesturing for me to get in.
