"Bastards wouldn't let me past the OR doors. I had to charm two nurses to get here." He keeps his voice light, smiling and going over to him, taking his hand. "How do you feel?"
----
Oriya raises an eye at the quality of the resturant, surprised. "It's simply the truth."

"Dizzy." Muraki replied softly. "But happy you're here. I asked the doctor to allow you at any time. He said it was alright."
~ ~ ~
The doctor smirked slightly, "Such a truth is perhaps too sweet for my ears." Muraki teased as they entered the establishment.
Soon, the two were seated in a rather darkened corner of the room, a few candles lighting their booth.

"I'm glad... I don't want to be kicked out." He squeezes his hand a little. "I'll stay with you, then. When can you come home?"
----
"Sometimes I think you don't hear nice things often enough." He smiles at their table, liking the atmosphere. Realizing that this is really the first... date they've been on.

"I'm looking forward to hearing it..." He takes Hisoka's hand gently.

"A few days." Muraki whispered, somewhat sadly. "I... Oriya-kun..."
He didn't really know how to say it.
Carefully, he squeezed his friend's hand.
"Saki came to see me." the teen whispered.
~ ~ ~
Muraki ordered some wine, though he had made sure to tell Oriya earlier that he would need to go easy on the stuff.
Especially since it could end up conflicting with his treatment.
"I hear nice things from you." the doctor pointed out, looking to Oriya across from him. "Besides, I'm not exactly the sort of person who needs to hear nice things now... am I?"

He pauses for a moment. Nodding a little to himself. "I know. I spoke with him in the hallway." A little abruptly.
----
"I think you are that sort of person more than anyone I've ever met." Quietly, he takes a very small sip of his wine, setting the glass down. "I should make it a habit to tell you nice things more often."

Muraki froze.
If his bandage hadn't been on... he would have looked akin to a deer caught in the headlights of an on-coming semi.
"Then... you know?" the teen whispered, praying that Oriya understand. "It... it wasn't Saki who did these things, Oriya-kun... He... he's going to get help. So he can be my brother again... like he used to be."
~ ~ ~
The doctor laughed softly. "After everything I've put you through..." Muraki shook his head, hardly able to believe it. "Oriya-kun... you don't have to force yourself. Truly." the man smiled, sipping his own wine. "I know that to you, I'm important. You and Ukyou-chan are probably the only ones who have ever truly cared for me."

Oriya sighed deeply, reaching with his free hand to smooth Muraki's hair lightly. "I know, Muraki-san. I just... hope this will be resolved." Having his doubts, but not wanting to voice them now.
----
"It isn't forcing myself so much as reminding myself." He reaches to take Muraki's hand. "I think you've been forgetting the good in yourself."

The teen leaned slightly into the touch. "Oriya-kun... you'll stay with me, won't you?" Muraki whispered. "Saki will leave soon... and the estate will be in my sole care..."
~ ~ ~
At this, Muraki began to laugh. "Good..." the doctor smirked slightly, though he gripped Oriya's hand gently. "The only good that resides in my soul is the devotion and want to help you and Ukyou, that I feel. Nothing more."

"I'll stay with you." Reassuring him, playing with his hair more. "I promise I will."
----
"You sell yourself short, Muraki-sensei." Quietly, his eyes soft... clearly meaning it. "You are much more than you give yourself credit for."

A soft smile found it's way to the teen's expression. "Arigatou, Oriya-kun." Muraki spoke, sighing softly. "I was afraid I'd be stuck in that house all alone... and quite bored, to be sure."
~ ~ ~
"Perhaps..." Muraki whispered, one hand absently twirling his wine glass between thumb and forefinger. "You know, I..."
But it was at about that precise moment, that the doctor picked up a conversation from a few tables away...
"He was the one, ne?" a man spoke softly.
His companion sitting across from him nodded, both throwing glances Muraki's way. "Saw him with a kid last night. Now he's got a beautiful man with him. What's this world coming to?"
For his own part, Muraki didn't seemed phased by the comment.
At least not outwardly.
Inwardly however... he wanted to rip the men's tongues from their mouths.
If Oriya overheard their conversation...

"I wouldn't allow that." He laughs a little, kissing his forehead, gently. "Would you like me to get you anything?"
----
"You..?" He blinks, turning his head. Seeing the men but he didn't hear what they said, frowning a little. "Is something wrong?"

For a moment, Muraki appeared as if he would ask for something.
But he soon shook his head. "I'm fine... really. I just don't want to be left alone." the teen smiled slightly. "It's not pleasant, you know... being unable to see and never knowing if someone's there."
~ ~ ~
Muraki smiled slightly, "It's nothing, Oriya-kun. Those men just seem to have rude dinner conversations, that's all." his smile didn't fade either.
No...
The doctor didn't want Oriya to get the wrong idea.
He was using Inoue, yes... but the implications of the previous night, especially those being painted by the restaurant's patrons... was hardly faltering for the man.

"I know. I will be watching over you. Are you sure you're not hungry? Do you want something to drink?"
----
"I never thought that bothered you before." Lightly, smiling and squeezing his hand a little. "Considering you lived with me."

This somewhat peaked Muraki's interest. "Ano... do you think I could have some tea?" he asked, feeling a bit bad about having to ask Oriya for it.
~ ~ ~
"When did we have rude dinner conversations?" Muraki asked, his attention focused solely on Oriya.
If those men, who were still talking, were to blow everything...
Muraki had no doubt that he'd kill them personally.
