The machines were beeping, slow and steady. Nokoru took another deep breath, hoping to ease the knot of fear and apprehension in his chest. It had been four hours since they’d arrived and three hours since the doctor had told him that Suoh would be fine. The knife wound had been deep but miraculously it had missed anything major in the ninja’s abdomen. Nokoru hated that the doctor had used that term “miraculously” as if that made the injury okay. He shouldn’t have allowed it to happen, should have gone to the meeting alone, should have… but none of that mattered. Some rational part of his mind knew that Suoh, in his excessive loyalty, would have gone anyway.
Blinking away the threat of tears, the blonde leaned forward to rest his forehead gently against Suoh’s. As he ran his fingers through Suoh’s hair he silently mouthed the words “I’m sorry” over and over again, knowing his bodyguard would disapprove if he woke up and heard it. Cracked lips pressed against his own, halting their repetition.
“Stop.” Suoh murmured, groggy. “’s fine. ‘m fine.”
Nodding, he continued to stroke his bodyguard’s hair and thought of the loyalty that chained Suoh to his side. Burying his face in Suoh’s chest, he tried not to wonder if those chains were going to be the death of the most important person in his life.
