You and me, even after everything.

Who: Shikamaru and Yosuke
When: a few days after the second Newcomer Hunt
Where: Yosuke's hospital room
Summary: Yosuke's checking out of the hospital so naturally he needs a responsible adult to assist him.
Warnings: It's all sweet and gross.


[It's too early for Yosuke to be checking out, in Shikamaru's opinion, but that's what he's insisted on doing. Souji hasn't recovered enough to heal him, but Yosuke doesn't seem to care, and Shikamaru's just enough of a sucker to agree to play nurse to both of them - pain in the ass that it is.

He's rented a car for the occasion, because hell if he'll carry Yosuke home. He parks it in the lot, though, expecting the ordeal of getting out of the hospital to take a while. He's prepared to pay the bill in cash, so that shouldn't be a problem, but Yosuke can't be in anything but terrible shape.

He'll see. Shikamaru knocks on the doorframe when he arrives, pausing just outside the room.]

Hey. You ready?

[A lot of the damage is internal, which he's perfectly fine with. The gunshot wound is cool, but the big ugly cast on his arm and the bandages on his ribs are painful and annoying. The stitches and bruises are just ugly. He'll be pretty miserable if any of it scars. But all given appearances seem to point to his spirits being high. Which is perhaps a little suspicious in its own right, but at least he doesn't seem ready to keel over.]

Great. You can take me to get mine, then. I'm old enough, so you've got no excuses.

[His jeans are already on, hanging a little loose from a few days out cold, and then a few more of hospital food. But the nurse wisely chose to leave his belt off anyway, not to pinch anything that smarts. As soon as the shirt is buttoned up, he just needs socks, shoes, and a smile to be fully dressed.]

Nill-san's going to bring some tea for my throat.
