Kaito stood there in disbelief at the realization, unsure of what to say as it hit him. He truly wasn't sure what to say in response to what was going on anymore. Usually he could think of something to say, but he was truly out of ideas at the time. The only things that were filling his mind were multiple thoughts of concern and worry.
“When you said he was unresponsive, are you sure he could hear you?” the doctor asked
Kaito sighed softly as he shook his head. By that point, he honestly felt bad about what was going on by that point, concern for his lover filling his mind as the thought that maybe he was partially why things were getting so bad crossed his mind as well. He couldn't help but just be filled with concern as he stood there.
Kokichi noticed, pawing at the other sleeve to get his attention.
Kaito turned to look at Kokichi once he realized that he wanted his attention, but there was absolutely no look of reassurance in his eyes. Usually he would appear to have some sort of optimism about a situation, but when it came to the one at hand, his eyes looked completely devoid of any determination. They were simply filled with wory and sadness with a hint of guilt.
Kokichi gave him a ‘don't worry..’ look, nestling into him
Despite the look that Kokichi gave him, it seemed like Kaito would not be calming down in the near future. There was far too much on his mind to prevent him from worrying, and he could no longer fight the feeling back as he felt tears form in his eyes. As much as he tried blinking them away, they just came back until he eventually cried despite usually refusing to do that around anyone, even Kokichi. He was just scared of losing the person closest to him.
Kokichi flinched, surprised by his partner's cry. Kokichi immediately sat up and pulled his lover down into a cuddle. He couldn't let him feel like that
Kaito didn't mind when Kokichi pulled him into a cuddle, but he remained concerned. It didn't seem like much would be able to calm him at the time. He just couldn't help but be concerned about the person he loved, especially given the current situation.
Kokichi tried to speak, but it was a bit squeaky since he couldnt hear himself “i- I’m fine..”
Kaito sighed softly as he shook his head. He really wasn't sure how he could otherwise respond, at least at the time, but he was concerned, and he heavily doubted that his lover was fine. He already knew that he had gone deaf, and that heavily concerned him, especially if the condition would only continue to get worse. Despite his usual optimism, he had almost completely convinced himself that Kokichi would die.
“H- hug?” kokichi asked, feeling the doctors put an iv in his arm
Kaito nodded in response and pulled his boyfriend into a hug, but he was still crying even as he did so. It was a complete shift from the typically optimistic and determined side of him that he showed, but he just couldn't help it by that point. He had basically ignored his own worries until they were the only thing in his mind.
Kokichi sighed softly, leaning back and pulling the other onto him as the doctors left. Kokichi gently snuggled into kaito
Kaito held Kokichi close to him once they began to snuggle, but he still didn't respond much to the current events. It seemed like his current actions were an automatic response to what Kokichi was doing, an almost subconscious action. Otherwise, he just seemed to be distant, a bit out of reality as he remained lost in his thoughts.
Kokichi kissed softly at the others jawline, trying to bring him back from his own mind
It took a couple of minutes, but the kisses eventually brought Kaito back into reality. Even so, it seemed to do little when it came to actually calming him down all that much. Even while in reality, he remained worried about his lover's condition, continuing to wonder if he would die or other serious complications would arise. He had already gone deaf due to the condition, so it seemed likely that other complications could arise, too.
Kokichi gave an angered growl “ kaito momota!” he whisper yelled
Kaito only looked away from his lover when he yelled at him. As he looked away, however, it became clear that he felt bad for making Kokichi angry to begin with, as his expression was one of guilt at the time. It did, however, appear that he was willing to listen to the other as well.
“I'm. Fine. “ he repeated
Kaito sighed softly. It was still something that he had difficulty believing just because of the situation that they were in. Kokichi was still in the hospital, and he still had a chance of dying, and he had still gone deaf because of everything. The situation was as far from fine as it could get, so Kaito didn't respond at all. He just looked at Kokichi again.
Kokichi gave him a dirty look. He couldn't tell if kaito was talking to him or not and it upset him
Kaito didn't even respond to the look that Kokichi had given him. He honestly didn't know what he was supposed to do, anyway, since he still didn't even know how to properly respond to it all. He just remained completely silent, not even making an attempt to say anything.
Kokichi sighed and rolled over, his back facing kaito
Kaito sighed as well before he eventually stood up. He felt like his presence was no longer needed. In his mind, all he was really doing was continuing to mess things up, and if he wasn't going to make things better, he didn't find a need to stay in the room, so he decided that it was better to leave.
Rantaro had seen the fight happen, being kokichis second emergency contact “ your not listening to him momota, “ he said softly
Kaito sighed softly as he heard Rantaro, but he otherwise just ignored him, although he didn't walk away from him. When it came to the situation at hand, all he wanted to do was ignore it until it somehow went away, although that wasn't going to work. Even so, he just wanted to forget about it all.
“Kaito! Don't you dare leave kokochis side! He is upset damn it! He's trying to get you to stop worrying because stressing him out, and yet you can't fucking care less!?”
Kaito sighed softly before he forced himself to look at Rantaro. He truly didn't want to engage in the conversation with him, but he was left with no choice by that point. Even if he truly wanted to get rid of all of the problems somehow, just escape them all, he needed to remain there.
"I do care, you know!" he yelled in response. "I care a lot, actually! Do you really think I'd be concerned about him if I didn't care at all…!? He's my boyfriend and I have to watch his condition deteriorate like this…! You'd be worried too, if you were me…! Now just shut up!"
“I was you kaito! Shuichi died for a bit.. I had to watch him die! Did you forget that little detail?”
