Sho, knowing that Aiba usually worked on Wednesdays, was thinking about visiting the shop just to get in some face time with his... you know, Aiba. But work had called him for the early shift and instead of sleeping in and then stopping by Come Again at lunch time, he was stuck watching a fifty year old woman yell about how she'd never truly loved the main character because she wasn't really her daughter.

Blegh. Soap plots.

Anyway, his phone had been turned off for the duration, and when they were done shooting and turning off the equipment until the next staff came in for the next scene, it was about half past twelve... and he had one missed call. Probably a solicitor or something.

When he listened to the voice mail, his heart started beating a bit fast. He shouldn't panic. Whatever way Aiba had injured himself, he'd at least been well enough to dial his phone. He'd just... hope he wasn't too late in getting the message.

He immediately dialed the man's number, biting his lip.

Aiba didn't really have to wait very long for Sho to call back, but he did so patiently enough. He'd decided to himself that if Sho didn't call back by...1, then he'd call someone else. With possible re-evaluation of the plan if 1 came around and Sho hadn't called back.

But Sho called back exactly 7 minutes later and Aiba answered immediately, save the several long seconds it took him to fumble the phone open and get it up to his ear without moving his other arm.

"Sho-chan? You there? It's Aiba." He knows that. He called you.

Sho was only somewhat thrown off by the way Aiba answered the phone, climbing into the backseat of a cab and directing the driver to Central Park. Much faster this way than trying to get there on foot or by subway.

"Masaki! I'm headed to get you, but you have to be more specific," Sho explained, trying to picture the layout of the park in his head, "It's too big of a place."

He still didn't know what was wrong with Aiba, but he wasn't sure he wanted to know before he got there. Then again, if he didn't know beforehand and walked up to a bloody mess of an Aiba, he might... cry or something. WHAT TO DO!?

Aiba heard Sho talking to someone in the background, but he didn't immediately realize who until he realized Sho had said Central Park, and it occurred to him Sho had hailed a taxi. For him. He smiled into the phone.

"I'm at the entrance closest to the zoo. That's where I was, I was helping out today they're understaffed! 5th Avenue and 63rd! "

He was quiet a moment on the phone, smiling rather blindly at the traffic going by the park entrance. He barely even noticed the pain in the arm currently resting his lap. Barely. "Thanks for coming, Sho," he said after a moment.

Being thought of as a witch doctor was exactly why Meisa didn't want to let her colleagues or patients know she was a witch. She'd also never heard of ting tang walla walla bing bang spell. Maybe that spell would cause your eyebrows to grow bushy or something. Sho still didn't look convinced but maybe if she demonstrated on one of his smaller bruises he'd feel more comfortable.

"He definitely has a lot of spirit," Meisa chuckled amusedly as the technician brought Aiba towards them. "I'll have to look at the X-rays and see how the bone broke so I can realign them properly." Meisa thanked the technician once he handed her the folder with the X-rays.

"Sure he can, if he doesn't mind. Let's go back upstairs, shall we?" And with that Meisa led them back towards the elevators.

Spirit was a good way of putting it. Sho had never seen someone put so much... life into the things they did. Aiba could make pouring a bowl of cereal look like it was worthy of an original motion picture score, complete with quivering violins and epic horns.

"I wonder what you'd be like with a crooked arm," Sho mused at Aiba, grinning when Dr. Kuroki gave the go ahead for Sho to be the one to push Aiba.

"Putting me to work already, Masaki, really," he teased, but was happy to be doing it, humming as he pushed the wheelchair along. Aiba looked oddly cute in a wheelchair. Then again, Sho thought Aiba could look cute anywhere. Unless he was looking sexy. But sometimes even then it was like this... cute and sexy combo.

"Is it going to hurt really bad?" Aiba had to pose the question to the doctor, even if he didn't want to know the answer. Better to be prepared, right?

Having done his share of looking about on the way down, Aiba didn't feel it as imperative to take in his surroundings on the way back. So it was okay to tilt his head back at Sho and stick out his tongue for the teasing as they headed into the elevator.

"I could still work with a crooked arm," he shot back with a half-grin, safe in the knowledge that Dr. Kuroki had no idea what part of his work entailed. Sho did though. "Anyway I think you're good at this. Maybe I should get a wheelchair."

"It'll only hurt for a bit." Meisa didn't really know since she'd never broken a bone before. But better to reassure someone than freak them out, she had found out when she did this for children. She hoped that the break was a clean one so that Aiba wouldn't require surgery. Though he was a demon, so maybe their bones broke differently than a normal human's. "I'll give you a lollipop at the end if you're good," she joked
