Nightshift 34: M21-30 Hallway

[arrogantflame.livejournal.com]

Wolfram had debated slowly as to whether or not he should go out for the night. He was still really worn out from the night before, Aidou was busy, he had no idea where anyone else was that he should be looking for, and quite honestly... staying in and sleeping was more than a little tempting. But his mind was troubled, and he felt a bit restless at the same time. Maybe he could just explore the patient room hallways, see if he could figure something out from there.

Stepping out into the hallway, he carried nothing but his flashlight. The bat and his other possessions were kept inside, since he had no plans of going out too far.

It wasn't long before he found himself moving down what was becoming a familiar hallway.

[To here.]

"I don't think anything about this place is normal," Wolfram agreed softly, shifting again so that he was hugging himself. It was so cold, but he doubted that blankets would help much.

He felt lightheaded and dizzy from lack of energy, but his mind was still unsettled, still worried about what could happen to them.

"Mmm... Maybe they'll know about the lights too. Since they know you're not really supposed to be here. Glad you are though."

The part of his brain that wasn't mostly asleep realized that the words didn't quite make sense, but he was too tired to correct himself.

Wolfram did have a point - not that he had much experience in regards to mental institutions - but even he knew that dangerous monsters were not a common thing on Earth.

Settling down on the mattress, Yuuri remained quiet as he felt Wolfram shifting behind him. He needed to get everyone back to their original homes, but he hadn't yet been able to make any connection to either Shin Makoku or Earth - something that worried him more than anything. How can he get Wolfram and the others to safety?

Wolfram's words broke the young Maou out of his thought as the blonde Mazoku spoke. Confused, he glanced back over his shoulder before simply shifting himself around to his other side so then he could face Wolfram.

"Lights?" Yuuri asked with confusion highlighting his voice. What was Wolfram going on about? "Neither of us are meant to be here, Wolfram. But as I said before, I'd rather be here knowing you're safe, then be safe back on Shin Makoku or Earth. We're in this together."

Unable to quite stop a discontented whimper from escaping, Wolfram's sleepy mind interpreted Yuuri's turning over as a sign of acceptance. He wrapped an arm around the other boy's waist, still shivering. "C-Cold," he finally admitted softly.

He nodded at Yuuri's words, although they all kind of blurred together, even though he was trying hard to listen and pay attention.

"Can't lose you again," he mumbled. "You might go through a hole and never come back. Was too hard to see... the first time..."

He quieted after that, and moments later was deeply asleep, worry still etched across his features that he'd been trying so hard to hid from his fiance and hadn't been doing such a good job at towards the end.

Yuuri's eyes widened in surprise as he found and arm wrapping around his waist. Grabbing at Wolfram's sleeve, Yuuri tried to keep his voice from sounding panicked as he urged. "Wolfram--"

His words were cut off though as he heard the sleepy mumble. Go through a hole? Why was this sounding like that fairytale, Alice in Wonderland, of all things?

"Hey, Wolfram," He had an idea of what Wolfram was speaking about. His attempts to continue the conversation; however, failed when it appeared that Wolfram had fallen asleep. Typical. Yuuri glanced down to see the arm wrapped around his waist before sighing tiredly. Trust Wolfram to do something like that just to make sure he couldn't sneak off without the blonde Mazoku.

Sighing, Yuuri settled back into the mattress. Maybe he'd wait a little while before testing Wolfram's hold on him, before trying to move off to sit on the other bed.
