Sugawara huffed, glaring at the taller male in front of him. The ravenette stared back.

"Move."

"No."

"That is my boyfriend. Let me see him."

Suga crossed his arms. "He's sleeping."

"Did I ask? Move."

"No."

Daichi walked up and walked past Yuito. He kissed Suga's forehead. "There a problem here?"

"He thinks he can get in."

"Ah." Daichi turned to him. "Go ahead and leave."

"Excuse me?"

"You're excused." Daichi closed the door. He looked to Ushijima, who had chosen to sit on the couch in front of the window, staring at Tendou.

Suga walked over to Ushijima and sat down. "You okay?"

Ushijima nodded.

Suga leaned his head on Ushijima's shoulder. "You know, he thinks very highly of you. He likes talking to you and loves your hugs and all sorts of things."

"Mm…"

"You don't feel like talking today?"

Ushijima shook his head.

"That's okay." Sugawara looked up at him. He smiled. "You're allowed to hold his hand."

Ushijima got up slowly, obviously very tired. He sat by the hospital bed and took Tendou's hand into his. He just played with his fingers for a moment before looking up at Tendou.

Suga stepped out of the room with Daichi. Daichi hugged him, trying to make sure he was okay.

"Both of them will be okay Suga."

"He won't sleep Daichi." Suga whispered.

"We can't force him. He's an adult and can take care of himself."

"Yes but Tendou isn't going to wake up very fast. Ushijima is too nervous to go to sleep. I don't know what to do."

"Mm… well. You don't need to take care of everyone. He'll get tired enough to go to sleep for a bit."

"Eh…"

"Look." Daichi pointed to the little window in the door and saw Ushijima's head resting on Tendou's thigh, seemingly fast asleep. "Told you. He's just going to need some time for Tendou to wake up."

"Eh… but… he's…"

"You need a nap too sir." Daichi grabbed his hand and headed down the hall.

"I do not!"

"You sound like a fussy five year old."

"You're mean! I don't need a nap!" Suga whined. Daichi hefted him up over his shoulder and walked off, Suga dangling over his shoulder. "I hate you so much."

Daichi patted his bottom gently. "Hush."

Suga chuckled softly. "If you're gonna hold me, do it right."

Daichi let him down and then let him climb on his back. "Alright are you gonna calm down now?"

"Mm. When we get home you needa gimme lots of kisses." Suga announced.

"Will do."

****

Tendou stirred for a moment before relaxing again, taking a deep breath. The nurse next to his bed looked over, somewhat shocked. Tendou choked on the tube in his mouth before coughing loudly.

The nurse hurried to go and get a doctor, worried.

When the doctor came in he removed the mask and tube.

Tendou's eyes opened and he coughed again.

"Tendou?"

Tendou closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Am I in the hospital again?"

"You are."

Tendou huffed. "Damn."

"Do you know why you're here?"

"I think so." Tendou looked at Ushijima, who had woken up. "Hey…"

"You're awake."

"I hope so."

Ushijima shook his head a few times. He sat up properly and popped his fingers. "I'll step out for a moment to let you adjust and talk to the doctors." Ushijima left the room.

Tendou rubbed his eyes. "Mm… how long was I out?"

"Two days."

Tendou sat up slowly. "Mkay. Well… uh…"

"I think you'll need a moment to get everything together." The doctor walked out and Ushijima returned.

"Hey Ushy."

"Do you feel alright?"

"Kinda sick. Very tired."

Ushijima nodded. He hugged Tendou close. "I'm very sorry I didn't pay attention to you."

"What?"

"The salt joke Yuito did was a way to drug you." Ushijima mumbled. He rubbed his back gently. "I'm sorry."

"No, no it's not your fault." Tendou relaxed into him. "Ooh you're so warm."

Ushijima shook his head a few times.

"Hehehe. You're so cute."

Ushijima shook his head a few more times. "I'm just glad you're okay."

Tendou grabbed Ushijima's shirt and sat up.

"Mm…" Ushijima sat on the side of the bed and just kept hold of him. "You okay?"

"I should be okay." Tendou wiggled his fingers. "No missing fingers. He moved the blankets back. "Oh look! No missing toes!"

Ushijima smiled slightly.

"Ah I'm funny!"

Ushijima nodded. "I enjoy you making jokes and such."

Tendou shivered. "Chilly."

"Here." Ushijima took off his jacket and put it on Tendou.

Tendou gasped. "Ooh so soft."

"I have to wear certain textures so that I don't become overstimulated." Ushijima yawned softly. "It's very frustrating to have the wrong clothes."

"Hm. Makes sense to me."

Ushijima shook his head a few times.

"You doing that is a good thing, right?"

"Um. Well. I think so? Sugawara tells me that when I get happy I shake my head."

Tendou smiled. "Cute."

"Cute?"

"You're just so cute."

"Are you saying that because I'm autistic or because you genuinely think that?"

"Cause I think you're cute. Not cause you're autistic."

Ushijima shook his head a few times again. "I'm glad."

Tendou smiled. He leaned over and put his forehead on his chest. "Great." Ushijima patted Tendou's hair. Tendou just giggled and held Ushijima's shirt. "You smell nice."

"What do I smell like?"

"Mint." Tendou looked up and smiled. "You smell like mint."

"Ah." Ushijima smiled. "I smell like mint."

"Yep."

"You smell like cherry pie. Which is strange. But it's very nice."

"Ah. I can bake sometimes."

Ushijima nodded. He laid Tendou back down and took off his shoes. He laid with him, holding him close.

"Do you like cuddling?"

"Very much."

"Noted."

"Mhmm."

Tendou held him, smiling. "You're a big teddy bear. So cuddly and cute."

Ushijima shook his head.

Tendou chuckled. "Cutie."
