After two days, when the doctor was satisfied that there wasn't any danger following the concussion, I was discharged and sent home. The pain had gotten more tolerable, however trying to get around with an arm cast and leg brace was difficult. Fortunately, Miss Akira gave me a leave of absence from Mado's while I recover. They're even keeping me on the payroll, so my bills won't get behind. I have a feeling they're being required to do it since it was a work-related accident, but I'm okay with believing it's an act of kindness on their part.
"Hey Kaneki, how long do you normally set your dryer? This machine is so different from mine; it's almost ancient!" Hide yelled from the bathroom.
"I don't use it unless it's raining, to save on the electric bill." I thought of Hide hanging up my laundry on the balcony and pinning up my underwear and quickly reconsidered. "On second thought, just run them in there! A-An hour should be enough time for a load that size." How could I possibly look him in the eye after he's been handling my boxer briefs...?
He walked back into the living room and let out a satisfying sigh. "Well, that's all set, is there anything else you need help with, Kaneki? I still have some time before I catch the train home."
"No, no. That's more than enough, Hide. I appreciate your help, but I can handle the rest." I'm still getting used to the fact that he's here at all. To go from seeing him for a few minutes several times a week to having him visit daily is a rather drastic change. He meant it when he said that he'd take responsibility. I feel guilty whenever I see him doing my chores, but when I try to take care of things myself, he just steps in and tells me to sit down and rest. Watching him makes my heart pound in my chest. I get nervous wondering if he will notice. But he's still the same Hide, friendly and caring. I don't want the way things are between us now to change, so I'll make sure he won't ever find out how I honestly feel. If he learned that and found it disgusting, he'd disappear forever. No, I'm satisfied if this is as far as it goes between us.
"You sure? Well, I'll be back tomorrow so I'll just take care of things then, see ya later Kaneki." He walked past the couch where I sat and patted my right shoulder as he made his way to the door. He stopped and turned back to me, running a hand through his dirty blonde hair. "Look, I'm really sorry to bring it up like this, but I think it's time for you to bathe, dude."
It's true that I hadn't washed since I came back from the hospital, but with him around I just couldn't bring myself to do it.
"Ah, yeah I suppose I should, I'll be fine on my own though, you can go home." I got up from the couch and balanced myself on my crutch before moving towards the bathroom. Just as I passed him, my good knee gave out, and I found myself falling. I braced for the imminent impact with the floor, but all I felt was an arm wrap around my back, halting my descent. Hide had kept me from falling. I dared to look up at his face, the smile that usually held residence there had been replaced with a serious expression I rarely saw from him.
"I think this clearly proves that you can't handle this yourself. I'm helping you whether you like it or not," Hide said as he flung my right arm over his shoulder and walked me into the bathroom. He let go and started to take off my leg brace as I hung onto the bathroom counter for balance. "Look, I'm sure this is probably a little awkward for you, but I just don't want you to end up getting hurt again if there was something I could do to prevent it, okay? Don't worry, we're both guys here, no need to feel shy. Unless you've got a big secret, we both have all the same parts, so it's no biggie if we see them," Hide said with a laugh, attempting to lighten the mood.
He helped me with the rest of my clothes before leading me to the shower seat and easing me onto it. Covering the cast with plastic guards the hospital had provided me, he handed me a small towel which I quickly used to cover up my crotch area. Hide disappeared behind me for a short time, only to reappear just as naked as I was.
"B-But why are you... Hide, why did you take off your clothes?!" I averted my eyes as I spoke, my voice sounding more like a puberty-stricken teenager than a college student.
"If I'm going to wash you, then it would just make sense to keep my clothes from getting wet, right? I'll get the shower going." He walked away to get the water to temperature. This couldn't be happening right now! I did what I could to avoid looking in his direction but couldn't help myself. Steam had started to surround the edges of the room. I could make out the silhouette of Hide's back, his slightly tanned skin glistening in the light. All I could think about was how it would feel to run my hands across him. As he turned around to bring the shower head back, I quickly looked away to avoid seeing the details of his front side. He pulled over a bucket and flipped it over before taking a seat next to me.
"Okay, I think it's a decent temperature, but let me know if it's too hot or cold. Lean forward; I'll get your back first." I complied, and he began rinsing me down, taking care to get everything wet. He reached for the soap and lathered his hands up. Gentle, yet firm, he slid his hands over my soapy skin. I kept my eyes closed, focusing only on where Hide's hands were at that moment. Chills went through me as he glided across my back, crossing over to my right shoulder and spanning the length of my arm. "See, this isn't so bad. Now lean back, and I'll take care of the front."
Obeying him once more, I leaned back, eyes still closed and waiting for him to continue. The lack of contact became too evident, so I opened my eyes to find out the cause. Hide had frozen in place, speechless as his own eyes focused on one area of my body in particular. Enjoying the sensations that Hide had provided had left me feeling a little too excited, and my body had reacted in kind. The towel I had used to maintain my modesty was no longer lying flat as my erection had made itself known beneath it.
"Oh shit! Hide I'm really sorry, this is just..." I tried covering it with my hand, leaning forward to make it less noticeable. I felt my face turn hot with embarrassment as tears started to pool in my eyes. This moment just couldn't get any worse. Hide is going to be disgusted and leave after this.
But rather than walk out of the room, Hide grabbed my hand and moved it aside, the towel sliding off and exposing me in the process. "Hey, hey calm down. There's nothing to be ashamed of here! Your body naturally reacted to being stimulated by my touch." He let go of my hand, and I just let my right arm fall to my side.
"And since I'm to blame for causing this reaction, I'm responsible for taking care of it."
