BAREFACED

Chapter 55

You stand in front of the door to Baji's hospital room. You close your eyes and take a deep breath before placing your hand on the doorknob.

"Yuki?" A voice says from beside you. You slowly open your eyes and turn towards the voice. Chifuyu slowly walks towards you holding a few mangas in his hand.

"Hey." You softly say. Chifuyu smiles at you and stops beside you. You smile back at him.

"Hey. How are you?" He asks. You sigh a bit and look back at the doorknob, letting go of it.

"I'm okay... Kinda tired to be honest... but that's all." You softly reply. He nods and motions towards the door. You grab the doorknob and open the door. The two of you walk into the room to see Baji massaging his legs. Chifuyu stops walking and furrows his eyebrows.

"Hi." You softly say waving at Baji. Baji looks up at you and smiles.

"Hey." He sooths.

"What are you doing?" Chifuyu asks. Baji stares at him a bit and then looks down at his legs.

"I can feel my legs..." Baji says with a smile on his face. You stare at his bronze eyes. 

"You can?" Chifuyu says in a shocked tone. Baji smiles at him and nods.

"I'm massaging them because I heard it helps with the blood flow..." He chuckles. You smile at him and nod.

"So, If you can feel them does that mean you can be able to walk again?" You ask. Chifuyu places the books down beside Baji.

"Yeah." Baji bubbles. "Doc said they will run some more tests and possibly start physical therapy..." 

"Can you move your legs yet?" Chifuyu asks. Baji stares at him a bit and then down at his legs.

"No... not yet. I can feel the pressure in my legs, but they still feel numb..." Baji sighs. Chifuyu furrows his eyebrows and slowly nods. Baji stares at him and relaxes his eyes. "Have you gotten anything yet?" He asks Chifuyu. Chifuyu slowly shakes his head. You look at Chifuyu confused on what Baji was talking about.

"But Valhalla and Toman came together..."

"What do you mean?" Baji rasps.

"Valhalla is a part of Toman..." Chifuyu replies. Baji scrunches his eyebrows and then sighs, relaxing his face.

"The hell is Mikey doing..." Baji listlessly says.

"What are you both talking about?" You ask.

"Toman." Chifuyu replies.

"Mikey is pissing me off... Why would he make the enemy part of Toman...? What the hell is he even trying to accomplish by doing that?" Baji sighs loudly. You stare down at the ground and furrow your eyebrows feeling very lost in the moment. "Yuki. Do you still talk to Mikey?" Baji asks. You look up at him and tilt your head to the side a bit.

"No." You say slowly shaking your head.

"... Draken mentioned something about you to me." Chifuyu softly says looking at you.

"What do you mean?" You ask.

"He said you and Mikey argued... and that he wanted to talk to you... but you're never at school or at home." Chifuyu replies.

"Oh."

"Why did you and Mikey argue?" Baji asks. You look away and sigh.

"Mikey did something that I don't agree with." You softly say. Baji stares at you a bit before taking a deep breath.

"What happened to your face?" Chifuyu asks as he leans closer to you and softly rubs the bandage on your face.

"I got cut."
