skyrat13.livejournal.comYohji awoke to a pervading sense of betterness. And yet…at the same time he felt worn completely ragged, as though no matter how much he slept it would never possibly be enough. Ever again. The juxtaposed feelings confused him…for all of the 10 seconds it took before the previous night’s memories broke through the haze of sleep.
Well shit. Was it really possible that all of that stuff had happened in just one night, so few hours ago?
It only took a quick check down his front to confirm a definite yes.
He couldn’t help sparing the empty chair next to his bed a lingering glance as well. He’d fallen asleep aware of it's vacancy. But still….
Yohji abruptly cut off that thought. He was starving and he wasn’t going to get any better if he didn’t eat. If the others had given up monitoring him, then he felt completely justified in getting up.
Assuming he could.
It took him a few tries, but Yohji managed to shakily rise to his feet and stumble across the room. The reflection in his mirror was jarring. Never before had he seen himself look, well, like such an invalid. His skin had a grey cast to it he’d never seen before, and blood had seeped through his bandages while he’d slept. They’d need to be changed, but he’d wait for assistance on that. He realized that he was still wearing part of his mission gear as well; only his coat and shirt had been stripped off the previous night in the rush to treat him. He hastily changed into a clean pair of pants and one of his work shirts, leaving it unbuttoned to avoid aggravating his injury.
The house seemed uncharacteristically quiet for so late in the day. In the kitchen Yohji gratefully found the dregs of some coffee that had been forgotten and left to stagnate in the bottom of the pot. He didn’t bother to heat it up. He collapsed at the table, and as no one was around he decided to take advantage of his chance to light up a cigarette. He had a feeling that he wasn't going to get many chances to do so in the days ahead. Not once the others were watching him again.
It seemed like food could wait a little longer after all.
