Night 62: M31-M40 Hallway
[M39]
When the intercom came on after lights out and it failed to stir his roommate from sleep, Kotetsu began to worry. Castiel's nurse didn't seem too bothered by it and simply left him a meal on his bedside table in case he woke up. After his encounter with their food and the reaction his stomach seemed to have with it, the older man decided to just skip dinner for now. The queasiness hadn't dissipated yet, but it hadn't grown worse which Kotetsu knew was a small victory.
"Castiel?" he whispered, not wanting to disturb the guy if he really was just sleeping. "Castiel, are you awake?" It was such a stupid question to ask, but it always seemed a necessary one at the time. With no reaction, Kotetsu slipped off his bed quietly and slowly stepped closer to his roommate. Now that he was there, towering over the man as he slept, Kotetsu felt like he should just turn around and forget it, but worry trumped embarrassment.
"Hey, Castiel?" he called out, louder this time. "You, uh, okay?"
No response.
Okay, worry was ratcheted up to anxiety. He leaned over the man to see if he could see the rise and fall of his body. It was so dark in their room that he couldn't see much detail other than Castiel looking like a lump on the bed.
[Castiel~!]

alas!
Then again, Wild Tiger had nothing but his fists to keep him safe, so he couldn't really judge. Swiping his flashlight from where it sat on his bedside table, the older man nodded to Castiel and let him know it was time to head out.
He grabbed the door handle and opened the door slowly. A brief check with his flashlight showed no signs of concern and he motioned for his roommate to follow.
