"Kaneki, it's good to see you awake. My name is Dr. Yoshimura, I was your attending physician when you were brought in from the accident two days ago. How are you feeling now, young man?"
I had barely opened my eyes before he began speaking to me. Despite hearing I'd been unconscious for two days, I felt incredibly exhausted. "I-I'm tired, sir."
The doctor nodded and continued, "That's understandable, you did suffer a concussion which has drowsiness as a side effect. You also broke your left arm. Dislocated left knee, significant bruising to your left hip, as well as numerous abrasions and lacerations are the rest of your injuries. We've been mostly concerned with your head injury and will continue to monitor you in case there are any complications related to the concussion. For now, the best thing for you to do would be to get some rest."
So many injuries from an accident I can barely remember... I closed my eyes when suddenly I recalled the voice that I had heard that night. "Do you know who hit me, Doctor?"
"All I know is that the person responsible has been dealing with the police and all of the legal issues involved in the accident. They should visit with you shortly though. Is there anything else before I go, young man?"
Police and legal issues, all of that just sounds so complicated right now. If the voice I heard calling out my name so frantically was having to deal with so much hassle, I wonder if they still felt as remorseful as they had sounded that night. Perhaps they only pretended to be concerned. If that's the case, then I'd rather not face them, at least not while I'm still here recovering.
"Please take care of him. I'll do whatever it takes as long as he's okay!"
No, even if they were only feigning concern, I wanted to face the source of the raw emotion that I clung to that night.
"Nothing I can think of, thank you, Doctor," I said as I closed my eyes and dozed off once again.
The next time I woke up, the light was just starting to show through the edges of the closed curtains of the hospital room. I blinked several times to clear my vision. Even slightly moving my left arm was enough to send shocks of near-electric pain through it. Wincing, I instinctively tightened my other hand, only to discover someone was holding it. Turning my head slightly to the right, I was surprised to find Hide in a chair next to my bed. He was asleep sitting up, his head resting at an awkward angle against his shoulder while his left hand was holding my right. Realizing who it was, I jerked my hand back in a panic, which simultaneously caused my left arm to ache again as well as wake Hide up.
"U-umm, hello Hide. How did you know I was here?"
Still looking half asleep, Hide rubbed at his eyes before looking at me. His state of alertness shot up as soon as he realized I was awake. "Oh, Kaneki! I'm so glad you're awake now! I-I can't even begin to tell you how sorry I am for everything!" Hide bowed beside my bed, his face hidden from view as he repeatedly apologized.
And that's when I made the connection. Hide was the mystery voice at the scene of the accident. Which meant that...
"I-It was you, the accident..." was all I could say as I contemplated just how shitty my luck could be to end up getting struck by my crush. I wished that this would all just end up being some elaborate dream because this reality was just too much.
Hide took his seat once more. He explained the details of the accident again just like I had heard them at the scene. "I hate the fact that I've hurt you like this, Kaneki. I keep replaying that night in my mind, and it's just so incredibly frustrating how stupid I was for not being cautious while I was driving. My negligence has cost you so much."
My face had to be several shades of red at this point. "No, no, don't worry about it Hide. I'll be just fine, accidents happen," I said with a laugh that hopefully sounded genuine.
"No, this was all my fault, so I'm going to take responsibility and take care of you while you recover. Whatever it takes, Kaneki. I owe you at least that much for the pain you're going through right now."
The last time I saw Hide, I could barely muster up the courage to hand him a receipt and wish him a good night. Now he's by my side swearing to take care of me. To be getting this much attention from someone I've been admiring for so long... I couldn't hold back my tears any longer. Streaks of wetness streamed down my face, cooling some of the blush on my cheeks.
"Oh no, I didn't mean to make you cry, Kaneki! Or could it be the pain? I don't remember the last time they brought you any pain meds."
"Yeah," I said as I clumsily wiped the tears from my eyes before resting my fingers against my chin, "it's got to be the pain." I'm such a liar, but it's better than making him feel sorry for being the cause of my crying.
"Okay, I'll go let one of the nurses know you need more, be right back!" Hide jumped out of the chair and flew out the door.
This must be a fantasy, something my overactive imagination came up with to deal with my interest in Hide. The pain felt real enough, but all this interaction with him just felt too good to be true. Even if he was at fault, why would he show so much concern just for me? To him, I'm just someone that rings up his groceries a few days a week. I don't deserve this much attention from him.
"I'm back, with reinforcements!" exclaimed Hide as he was followed in by one of the nurses. She quietly injected liquid into my IV line, added her dosage to the chart at the end of my bed, then left just as quickly.
"A woman of few words I see," joked Hide as he settled back into his chair.
The medication didn't take long to work, and I felt my eyelids fluttering as I struggled to stay awake. In the end, it was a losing battle, but just as I slipped away, I felt Hide's hand wrap itself around mine once more, his warmth encircling each finger.
On second thought, I'd rather hope for this to be a reality rather than a work of fiction.
