Chapter 13: Friends

For three weeks, I did not do much, other than wheeling around the house and getting fat. I seldom went out as the doctor advised that I avoid any physical activity that will exert pressure on my wound. My life was mundane, I could not do anything fun. Luckily, I have someone to keep me entertained.

"Kyoya-kun~" I sang out, rolling into his room without bothering to knock. 

 The raven-haired laid on the tatami flooring. His eyes closed with his head rested on his arms as he basked under the sunlight outside of his room. 

"Ne~ Kyoya~ You can hear me, right?" I drawled out the words, hoping to get a reaction from him, which did. A slight twitch of his eyebrow. His face morphed into a scowl as grey eyes glared at me. 

"Say that again, and I'll bite you to death," he demanded. 

I shook my head disappointingly, "Didn't I tell you if you call me by my name, Kyo-ya~?" I smirked at him.

I did not know where this boldness of mine came from, however it was enjoyable to tease the fearless Hibari Kyoya. Maybe I got it from Father... Seeing the expressions on his face from annoyance to surprise, I could not resist the playful side of me, just to see how much my words affected him.

Hibari groaned in frustration and turned to rest on his side, his back facing me. I pouted when he ignored me. A brilliant idea came up. I slowly rolled towards him. My eyes twinkled with mischief. Heh, as if you could ignore me, I will never give up!

I rose up, silently praying for my safety.

"KYOYA!" I dived forward to hug him. I landed on top of the boy. The boy went rigid, clearly taken aback by my actions. I was in a bliss. I got to hug him! I could die happy now! 

I expected for him to throw me off and bared his fangs at me like a wild animal. A several seconds past, Hibari did not make a single move. 

"Kyoya-kun?" I swiftly let go of him and sat up straight. 

The boy beneath me avoided eye contact with me. His cheeks adorned an adorable rosy hue. His eyes stared wide at me. To think that Hibari would blush, this precious sight would be implanted in my mind forever. 

"Aw, Kyoya, you never got a hug before?" I teased, watching him gritted his teeth and trembled. 

When I blinked, I found myself tackled to the floor by a fuming skylark. He straddled on top of me.

"I'll bite you to death!" he sneered.

A loud click resounded the room. Our eyes looked over to the direction. Yukari carried a camera in her hands smirked at us.

"My, you are too impatient, children," she snickered behind her kimono sleeve. She held the camera up, her black eyes pierced at us. "If you two are to be in trouble, I will send this to the world. For some extra cash~"

Our faces paled. Yukari must be a devil in disguise.

After four weeks, the doctor advised that the physical therapy to begin. My thigh has healed up, leaving a small circular scar on my skin. Someone have to hold my hands to help me balance. My leg muscles felt numb. Taking the first steps, my legs wobbled like jelly. 

This damaged my late teenager's pride. Father would held my arms up and push me forward when I was ten months old. Eager, he took the whole thing on camera. He tried to make me practice for two hours until I could walk without support. 

He became emotional as I grew older. He cried when my height reached his hip level, wishing I was a baby again. I wonder how my former parents felt when I was a baby.
