Small Talk
Rin sighs as Nitori starts to get impatient. Rin turns to look out the window. For some reason, he likes to look outside to see life going on. Somehow, he feels like he is missing out on it. Even though he hates socializing a little. He wants to go back to his friends, Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa, Rei, Aiichirou, and even Sejuuro. He wants to swim... So badly... why did he do this to himself?! What has he done?!
Slowly, Nitori starts to notice Rin is crying. Normally, he doesn't cry this much. But, Nitori understands why he would be crying. Maybe he is realizing what he did, wasn't so great for himself... But Nitori hates when Rin is sad like that. It kills him inside, but, he still wants a answer about the letter... and everything else. He as kept in the dark for so long. The least he can do, is explain.
Rin sniffs and hiccups more than once. He is acting like a fool but, he doesn't want to talk here. He wants to go somewhere else, and tell Nitori everything.
Rin pulls every last muscle in his body to help him stand up. He stumbles and accidentally hits the nurse button. He props himself up on the stand beside him, and tries to balance his footing. A nurse who tends the room runs in and gasps. "Mr. Matsuoka! You shouldn't be out of your bed! You don't have enough energy to walk yet!", she yells. Rin growls and throws a pillow at her.
"You have no right to tell me what to do!", Rin screams. That yell, caused a slight murmur to rise, and Makoto to come running in. Nitori is scared. He doesn't know what happened to Rin all of a sudden. He is going crazy like did once when he lost a event badly and he snapped at Nitori.
The nurse looks afraid and Haruka runs up to Rin. "Hey! What's wrong Rin?!", he yells. Rin gets frustrated once more. He just wants to go to the roof... Out of instinct, he pushes Haruka while he was in a slight daze because of Rin's glare into his eyes. Haruka hits the curtain and grabs on to it to help him regain his balance. If course that wouldn't work so the fabric rips off the rings and Haruka slams onto the ground. With the curtain gone, a new face is revealed.
Rin flinches back a little when he sees, Mei. She has tears in her eyes. Mei feels afraid now. Not because she thinks Rin will hurt her, but, because of the fight going on. He hurt Haruka. He hurt Haruka... He realizes what he had done. Mei loves Haruka and Haruka loves her back. A basic relationship for anyone. But if someone attempts to hurt one of them, the other one, will hate the person who done it to their lover.
Rin screams and storms out of the room. He can barely walk though. He is practically limping through the long dark hallway. The twins notice the scary man and hug each other in fear. Their legs are trembling. However, Ren decides to step forward. "Ah... um... excuse me?"
Rin hears a small voice. He stumbles and falls back into the wall. He slowly falls to the ground. When he turns his head to the side towards the voice, the faces of a young boy and girl are seen. Ren grabs Ran's hand and slowly walks towards Rin. Makoto and Haruka peak out of the doorway when they notice the twins are going to talk to Rin, they decide to go back in and comfort Mei with Nitori.
Ren and Ran sit down next to Rin. "Um... you are friends with Nii-chan right? Also, Haru-nii-chan, and Mei-nee-chan?", Ran quietly asks. Rin scoffs. "I'm not sure anymore... I don't know if they even trust me. I have done bad things to them..." Rin realizes, talking to the two twins, can help him get his feelings out. He has known them, but he hasn't saw them since they were baby's.
Ren smiles. "I'm sure they will forgive you! We know them better than anyone else. Mei-nee never holds a grudge! Neither does Nii-chan and Haru-nee!"
"Yeah!", Ran cheers. Rin slightly smiles. He appreciates the thought of the two children trying to cheer him up. Ren takes something out of his pocket and holds it up. "We got Mei-nee a present. This is different from the original one because it broke... But we like this one better!" Rin glances up at the hanging object. It looks like a fish keychain. A leopard shark keychain.
"Wow... you two must care for her a lot huh?", Rin silently asks. Ren and Ran nod while showing a huge grin on their faces. They are also blushing as well. Rin smiles and places his hands on the twins heads. He messes up their hair and laughs. "Thank you guys... you made me feel a lot better..." He takes his hands off their heads.
"Do you need help getting up, Rin-nii-chan?" Rin flinches at the name. It doesn't really go with his name... but, he doesn't mind it. He nods his head while placing his hands on the ground to attempt to help him get up. The twins lightly pull up on his arms. He can't feel them and it isn't really helping. But they are still trying. That is all that matters.
When he gets to his feet, Ren and Ran hold each hand and try to help him balance. After a few stumbles, he gets to the room doorway. The whole room goes silent as Makoto and Nitori notice the twins are helping Rin out. Haruka is getting examined because if the nasty fall he took. His back is sore and he has a few scratches on his back topped off with bruises. Mei is sitting up, smiling when she spots Ren and Ran.
"The two has taken a liking to you... Matsuoka-kun...", Mei mutters. Before he can do anything, a doctor comes up from behind. "You shouldn't be out of your bed young man. Please rest once again." The man asks. Rin nods and slowly, with the twins supporting, he walks to his bed and lays down. After a few minutes, the nurse hooks him back up to the machine for his heart and IVs.
The twins nod at Rin and he smiles back with his teeth showing. But when he closes his lips, he bites his lip. "Ow!", he yells. Ren and Ran along with everyone except for one person, begin to laugh hysterically. Nitori breaks the silence as he asks," Are you trying to avoid the question?"
