Dayshift 43: Waiting Room / Lobby 1 [4th Shift]

[not_rly_fai]

It'd been nice to talk with Subaru, if only to see that the young man was faring a little better than before.  He seemed to have the worst luck and unfortunately, there wasn't always someone there to protect those that needed it the most.  As he passed the Sun Room, there was still no sign of a post from Ururu either.  Things didn't look promising

Crap.

Touya'd been taking a nap in the Sun Room when his nurse shook him awake with a bright grin plastered on her face. At that moment, Touya had known something was up. And thanks to Yuki's warning that morning, he knew what it was.

"Get up Thomas, you have a very special visitor today!" the nurse said, barely able to contain her giggles. Oi he hoped she wasn't giggling over his father. Oi that would be gross.

Minutes later, he was sitting on a couch waiting for his nurse to come back with his visitor. He hadn't seen anyone that he recognized in the lobby--maybe there had been some kind of mistake.

...though he couldn't help but feel like he was about to be assaulted. Or have his train of thought suddenly interrupted. It was a weird feeling, to be sure.

She couldn't take a hint, no matter how gentle he was being. On top of that, his discomfort level was slowly beginning to rise to levels where even he wanted out. Now, when Nakuru said that she and Sakura got along 'beautifully', he could only hear a saccharine promise covering up a sinister intent. If Yue had reason to be afraid of her, so did Touya. And so did Sakura.

He needed to get away. He was starting to feel cornered by all of this. Nakuru wasn't someone to be trusted... but she knew about the pictures. And those pictures did seem really... creepy. He wouldn't have taken them. No matter how much he cared for Yuki, he'd never treat him like an object.

"I can't just 'get over it', Selina," Touya said, screwing up his courage once again, as he had before on the swing yesterday. There had to be a way to get himself out of this and never see her again--this had to be it. "I love him. I'm in love with Alex, and he cares for me as well. I can never forget him, and I would never do anything to hurt him or... or stalk him

There was only silence for the space of several heartbeats, as though Selina was processing his words, and then she abruptly pushed away and stood. "I'm sure that you'll come to your senses eventually," she said, standing with her back to him as she lifted a hand to brush at her eyes. "Once you're better."

Selina sniffed once and glanced back over her shoulder at him. "You are my boyfriend, Tommy," she replied, with a more than slightly possessive glint in her eye. "I don't give up that easily, especially not to someone like him."

And with that she tossed her hair and headed for the door, stiff-backed and confident in her stride.
