Today I woke up feeling how I used to feel but somehow my mood felt nicer. "Someone put the TV back again... Seriously who is doing that...also how long do I have to sit around here... It's so boring...". I think to myself as I stare at the ceiling.
I hear Dr.Aikujin walk in. At this point I don't even have to look over, I have his step sounds memorized. "Wonder how old he is" I think again.
"Good morning kiyo, how are you feeling" Dr.Aikujin asks as normal.
"Better.. sorta.. mentally or physically?"
"Why not both"
"Mentally... I feel slightly happier than normal... Physically I feel fine"
"I'm glad to hear that, hioko is here again, should I let him in?"
I glance at him and say "no."
The doctor smiles some the let's kioko in anyway.
"Thank you aiku! How long dose he have to be in here anyway..." Kioko looks at me "hey your holding the bear I got you! You actually like it!"
Wha-i-no I don't! I resent this bear, in fact I only keep it for company- wait not what I mean uh..." I continue to struggle to search for a good excuse as I hold the bear closer.
"Awh come on, I know you like it~" he says with a smirk. Aikujin starts so laugh. As my face gets a slight red and begin to hide in the bear.
"It's ok... I guess..." I mumble.
When everything has calmed down, Dr. Aikujin starts the new conversation. "He should be here for a week or so."
"Can't he like come to the mall or something with a doctors note?" Kioko asks in desperation.
Aikujin thinks for a moment. "No but, I have an idea if you wanna take him shopping." He smiles
"Really?!" Kioko brightens. Aikujin nods and we start to follow Dr aikujin down the hall as I realize just how unfamiliar I am with this hospital. We finally reach our destination.
"Really? The gift shop..?" I ask as everyone enters. "Hey, don't leave me .." I follow behind them.
"I see you brought your bear~, what's it's name?" kioko says all smerky.
"Careful he can bite you know" Dr aikujin says smiling
"Really!?" Kioko looks at me with my normal don't poke the bear kinda look on my face then looks back at aikujin, slightly intimidated as aikujin begins to laugh.
I start to walk off but say "iiyoru kinojin..." Everyone looks at me in slightly surprise. Then kioko whispers to aikujin thinking I can't hear him.
"He named it after us!.... Sorta...." Kioko whispered to aikujin. Aikujin gave a slight quiet chuckle. Looks over at me and sees Im staring. When I notice aikujin looking at me I look away.
"I think he heard you" aikujin whispers back.
"How do you know?" Kioko whispers again as aikujin points at me. They both smerky and chuckle some.
During our gift shop adventure we had a great time, we bought some sort of friendship necklaces, before kioko accidentally knocked over a glass and made a slight mess of the place which made us gr kicked out. We all laughed about it on our way back to my room.
"Well that was fun" I say with a slight smile. The two stop and stare for a moment. When I notice I look back "huh? What's up? Did I say something off...?" They both smile and continue.
"No just never seen your smile before kiyo..." Aikujin says.
"It looks good on you" kioko adds. I also stare for a moment before continuing.
"Thank you..." I say looking to the floor.
When we reach my room I sit on my bed and say goodbye to them again, this time though when they leave I open my room curtains to see a beautiful view of the small city and the beautiful sunset, I even can see the beach, makes me wonder how high up I really am. I watch the sunset for a bit before watching the series ahowa again, this time though I didn't go to sleep. Later that night I found a secret route to where no one would see me sneaking off to look at the stars for one in the first times in my life.
