Jushirou had been napping, given there was little else for him to do most of the time besides read the new. It wasn't much, but it was certainly something between company. He was just waking to find the young helmsman beside his bed. And that put a content, albeit tired, smile on his face.

"Toshirou...sit, won't you? Maybe the Nurse will bring you something to drink," he remarked, his voice sounding appropriately tired. But at the very least he looked healthier...he was recovering.

Toshirou frowned at the older man but sat down anyway. He knew he'd promised he'd smile but it was hard, and Jushirou looked......so unlike himself at the moment. Maybe it was the breathing apparatus, or the fact that Toshirou had never really seen him like this before. Whatever it was, the young man knew he wished there was something he could do for Jushirou.

Wordlessly he took one of the older man's hands in his and gave it a light squeeze.

"It means a lot...having you here with me," Jushirou spoke softly, returning the gentle squeeze of the hand. "It helps to have a loved one nearby when I'm stuck here like this," he added with a light chuckle. It was a bit melancholy, but it was humor none the less.

"They say I'll be off the machine by tomorrow."

The young man knew he was blushing. He knew that Jushirou loved him, had known it for some time, he'd just never let himself see it. It was hard to ignore when it was practically radiating out of the older man's eyes, the way he smiled and held his hand.

"That's good." Toshirou said in a voice that was barely audible. He felt silly for talking loudly when the older man was having such a hard time just talking at the moment. Giving another squeeze he scooted his chair closer.
