Reita bounced around the stage like mad. He was exhausted, yes…but he was in such a state of trance he didn’t notice it until he lost control of his bass and it hit the stage with such a force it broke. He followed almost immediately and hit the ground unconscious.
Aoi and Uruha dropped their guitars when they saw Reita fall, but someone was much faster then they were. Ruki dropped his micro and fell down to his knees next to Reita. Sighing with relief he found, that Reita only fell unconscious. He tried to lift Reita from the ground, but found that he couldn’t because he himself was too small. But with some help of Uruha and Aoi he lifted the weak body and they carried him backstage, where they were greeted by Kai and a doctor, he had fetched from the first aid tent.
They lowered Reita down on the couch in their backstage room and stepped back, so that the doc could help Reita who was taking only ragged breaths. The doctor examined the unconscious body and gave him an injection. Then he wrote a recipe and gave it to Uruhas hands. “Your friend’s suffering from a bad cold. He should stay in bed at least for the rest of the week” he told them.
Ruki was on the verge of tears by then. He clung to Aoi and watched the scene in front of him. Kai stroked his hair comfortingly and sighed. “I saw that one coming…” he whispered and watched Reita.
The doctor left the room and the five guys were alone. Aoi sighed. “So…we’re taking him home…one of us has to stay with him … so…who volunteers or should we do it in turns?”, he asked.
“I’ll do it”, Ruki volunteered and smiled slightly. They all turned and looked at Ruki. He was never close to Reita so they wondered why he volunteered but they said nothing.
Aoi lifted Reita into his arms and carried him towards their van and laid him down in the backseat before the others filled in. Then their driver drove them home.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
When Reita awoke late that night he suffered from a bad headache and his throat felt very sore. He coughed and blinked a few times. Confused he saw that he lay in his own bed at his home. The door to his bedroom stood slightly ajar and light was falling in from the living-room.
He tried to sit up, but in an instant everything around him turned blurry and he moaned as his head started throbbing like mad.
Only a few seconds later the door opened and someone stepped into his bedroom. Reita blinked a few times and recognized Ruki by his small slender frame.
“Ru…ki” he coughed. “Shh…all right, Reirei…don’t talk too much” Ruki said soothingly and sat down next to Reita. A second later Reita felt Rukis cool hand descending onto his forehead. “You still run high fever, Reita” Ruki whispered. He changed the cool cloth on Reitas forehead and smiled a little bit.
Ruki gently stroked Reitas hair until the bassist dropped back to sleep. Then he watched him in silence and changed the cool cloth once in a while. When the fever still didn’t drop down in the morning, Ruki made him calf-winds and sighed.
Reita woke up and still suffered from a bad headache. He blinked and saw Ruki asleep next to him, crouched half on the bed, half down on the floor. //cute…// he thought and hit himself mentally for finding his fellow band member cute. He moaned a little and coughed. When he turned his head he found a glass of water on his nightstand and he took a few gulps with a grateful smile. While he drank Ruki awoke and watched him. “I’ll make you some tea and bring your medication”, he said and jumped to his feet. Before Reita could say anything Ruki hat left the room.
He came back moments later with a cup of steaming hot peppermint tea and some bottles of medication. “Here, Reirei…you have to take these three times a day…and that one once…and this syrup you also have to take three times…” he explained to a weird Reita who only nodded in confusion while he tried to drink his tea without burning his throat.
After a while of silence Reita tried out his voice once again. It was raspy and his throat hurt like hell but he had to know. “Ruki…what…happened?”
Ruki sighed and eyed Reita seriously. “You fainted on stage…” he answered. Reita sighed. He looked defeated. “Well…I….think I’m…going to sleep…so…you can…leave me…alone” he said, but Ruki shook his head no. “No way…I won’t leave you alone when you’re this sick, Reita-kun…” he whispered. But Reita did not hear him, because he had fallen asleep in an instant.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It took days for Reita to recover far enough that he could stand up and walk into his living room to lie down onto his sofa. His body hurt like hell from his cold and he still felt sick. He had also started to throw up, whenever he ate something and he was grateful that Ruki hadn’t left him alone. Said man was standing in the doorway watching him watch TV. “Are you okay, Reirei?” he questioned. Reita turned and locked his gaze with Rukis. “Hm…I’m still sore…but I think I can manage now…if you want to go home…” he said, but his voice was trembling and he felt he was on the verge of tears even though he wasn’t sure why. Ruki seemed to sense it, because he came and sat down next to him, gathering the trembling man into his arms. “Shh … I won’t leave, if you don’t want me to…never again, Reita”, he whispered soothingly and held him tight.
Reita blinked and looked into Rukis eyes which were holding a loving glow. Rukis hand caressed him gently and he smiled. “Aishite imasu, Reita-kun” he whispered. His cheeks turning as bright red as Reitas still were from his fever. Reita blinked and smiled while he pondered what Ruki had said.
//He didn’t leave me while I was sick…not a single minute…and…he’s so caring…and so cute…yeah…I think I could love him back…//
His smile got brighter and he pushed Ruki a little way back so he could look into his eyes. “Yeah…aishite iru mo” he whispered. Ruki smiled back happily and kissed him gently. When they let go off each other Reita smiled. “You’ll catch a cold if you do that now…” Ruki returned his smile. “That doesn’t matter…now I have you…” he said.
