[Drabble] Just One Day 3/?
So, I just finished this, and decided NOT to upload the fluffy fic I promised to offset all the depression in my "Just One Day" drabble series. It still needs....tweaking, since it's set at a more mature rating than most of what I write concerning Gii/Takumi. ;)

The stress of college life is making this set of drabbles very depressing…..

Chapter 3
It’s often that Shouzo Akaike is called to room 300. Tonight, he’s called to room 300 because Takumi Hayama, the patient occupying the room, is having one of his episodes.
He hurries down the quiet hall, his mind focused only on the patient he calls friend.
His heart breaks again when he sees Takumi being physically restrained by male aides to the bed upon his arrival. His hand automatically reaches into his coat pocket, and pulls out a syringe.
And as he grabs a flailing arm and aims for the faint vein on the thin wrist, he wonders what went wrong.
When it is all over, when Hayama looks up at him with the eyes of an animal in pain, his words are quiet and slurred, but Shouzo hears every word of it.
“Please…let me go…”
***
Shouzo has never heard the full story of why Gii and Hayama had separated. As he sinks into his chair in the dark privacy of his office, Shouzo wonders.
Just what happened to Hayama that he became like that?
Gii, he knows, is just as bewildered. He knows, because Gii had been looking for Hayama after Hayama disappeared. It was only by chance that Shouzo found Hayama in this institution, Hayama being a long-term patient of four years and him a resident intern.
Shouzo stayed on in this institution, to the horror of his parents, the owners of a large hospital, but they do not know Hayama. Hayama is a shell of his former self, unable to recognize even his long-time friend from Shidou Gakuin.
Shouzo still remembers the shock that froze his brain when he found first found Hayama’s empty eyes on him after all those years, only for them to shift back into space. Upon further investigation, he found out that Hayama had come as a patient because the doctor who brought him in was a friend concerned for Hayama’s well-being.
And now, three years being his chief doctor, Hayama is unchanged, Gii is still in America, and Shouzo is unsure what to do. He doesn’t know if he should call Gii, who is resigned to living the life he is expected to lead in America, and invading Hayama’s privacy, or to leave the two of them alone, and resigning the two of them to a miserable fate being alone. He finds it wearisome to watch them dance to the fickle strings of fate-it is not that he finds it tedious to take care of Hayama. It is very easy to want to protect Hayama; there is a vulnerability about him. Even though he doesn’t know the whole story, he has a feeling that the reason behind Hayama’s sudden disappearance is something he and Gii could work out.
He catches his hand inching forward to the plastic telephone that sits innocently on his desk. Something is telling him that it is not yet time.
But that feeling of urgency still remains.
There is plot! It's just....really slow in showing itself. I'm writing this in various places--sometimes in the subway, on my way to school, sometimes scribbled onto paper during lecture class, or once on a napkin while I was eating dinner at a restaurant with my family. It's on and off in my inspiration and what I can write.
Until next time!
