King of The Servers

"Huh?! Should I inform you if I will stay here with Ryuu?" Arlert retaliated. Head held high while he faced the red-haired boy who was glaring at him all this time he strode his way in the room, and saw Arlert snoring on the other bed.

"Of course you have to. It's my fault he's injured right now so I have to take care of him myself," retorted Myriad. Myriad had to put up a fake admiration to his roommate since he was assigned to clean their room last night, and he rushed it to arrive before the curfew time then he was solely blocked by the guardsman from the main door. As per the man with a black suit stated a blonde boy was already inside, and the Doctor only allowed one Server to watch over Ryuu from time to time. Amanda, the name of the Doctor, covered a cotton on the skin of Ryuu where he took a blood sample.

Arlert shrugged and sat down on the bed of the patient behind him. The two foreign boys glared at each other for a couple of seconds. "It's not my problem. Ryuu is my roommate anyway." He remarked.

"Aren't you two going to attend a client today?" Amanda picked up the medicine tray on the table, took a glance of the patient's pulse on the monitor.

"That can wait-" The two boys answered in unison.

Ryuu could not look at them. He was quiet all this time, he could not think of any idea how to handle the situation he was facing in between. It had been more than half an hour they started bickering. The Doctor was used to the behaviors of the boys. She was their doctor for more than 5 years now, but this event was rare to encounter as if the two foreign boys have special feelings for the Japanese rookie. Amanda noticed the pretty face of him, still there were manly features that could be seen clearly like his defined jaw whenever he gritted his teeth besides the straight shoulder lines and the glimpse of his adam's apple whenever the lad gulped. She could even stress the bothered expression of her current patient, a passive kind hearted boy, affirmations done by her thoughts.

"How about you alternate who will sleep here?" she suggested. The foreign boys diverted their attention to her. Amanda saw the honesty of the two lads. They simply wanted to be with the patient longer and alone.

Black eyes of Ryuu locked in his lap. He could not refuse any of their assistance to watch over him. That was what he needed the most in the unfamiliar room. The other room was also right in front of the place, a room where a Watcher stays.

"You don't need to come here, I can watch over him every night," Arlert stated, and the verbal fight resumed. Ryuu sighed heavily, the two lively boys paused and looked at him. Ryuu gazed back at them. Myriad, still a stranger to him, he only had long conversations with him recently and he showed him his sincere concern and pleasant personality which resulted to trust another Server than Arlert. Even so, Arlert looked displeased of the stubborn lad identical to him. He was with him for more than a month now, and the short kiss from last night suddenly appeared in his mind. He averted his eyes on the other side, a tinge of rose from his cheek showed embarrassment. Myriad recognized it. He noticed the quick aversion of the impassive lad. His lips curved down, he lowered his head on the floor. The warm grip of Ryuu on him yesterday as he guided him to walk through the hallway, till he put him down on the bed, the tight grip of the lad affected him. A firm act of reliance which kindled the strong passion of the red-haired who let his selfless trait die behind his new life in the Hub. However, a new expression from the lad invalidated his feelings.

Ryuu looked at Myriad who suddenly walked off the door, slamming it. He did not excuse himself although Ryuu was fine to either one of them, but Myriad gave way. Arlert sighed inaudibly and looked at the floor, he did not know a lot about the red-haired Server. He obtained information about Myriad from his teaser friend, and aside from being part of the long time Server in the Hub. He was one of the Servers who were in demand providing exclusive services for the clients. With this, enough for Arlert to build a wall so he - Myriad could not get closer to Ryuu.

"A Lady will deliver your meals, as usual. Take your medicine and sleep as much for the medicine to work out," reminded the Doctor. Ryuu nodded in response, the doctor glanced at Arlert and left. She put her hands on her white coat's pocket and saw the tall man with a side fringe and low black fade entering his humble office. Amanda glanced at the door behind her, and followed the man in his office. 'It would be better to not disturb those two alone' she lazily thought.

The drips of the dextrose filled the clinic room. Arlert absorbed in the silence after Myriad left suddenly. Unhappy about how their stupid verbal fight turned out, although thought only kind of. His sapphire blue eyes gleamed in joy as he gazed at the troubled Ryuu. His eyebrows were furrowed and he was looking back at him with mere uncertainty.

Arlert stood up and walk through the next bed to pick up his pillow. "I'll come back later-"

"Come here early," Ryuu requested. Arlert's eyes widened as he stared at his black eyes, the Japanese lad lowered his gaze, uncomfortable in a sudden. The sapphire blue eyes curved as he smiled widely and nodded.

"I- I will. I'll bring you uh some sweets?" he barely uttered as he rushed outside the room. Shutting the door close uncontrollably which a loud thud heard from the other room in front of the clinic. Arlert hurried, panting as his feet dragged him to run away. He giggled with full satisfaction. His brave roommate was starting to lean on him more. As he suddenly turned around to step on the stairs, he yelped from the sudden impact of bumping to someone and slipped his foot which fall his butt on the floor.

His eyes widened as he saw the familiar tall man tilted his head as he gazed down at him, with his viridian eyes. A tattoo of a dragon in his left arm viewed in the scene as he slowly pulled out his arms in the pockets of his pants. The older Server stepped his feet forward on both sides of Arlert, squatted and later leaned closer to the blonde lad. Arlert glared at him, annoyance emerged from his eyes. The coiffed hairstyle of his honey blonde hair revealed a few lines of wrinkles on the forehead. He drew a smug smile and lifted his head, lowering his eyes on the blonde lad under him.

"Watch your steps. If you bump into me again, I'll make you my rabbit!" the forced breathing out at Arlert's face moved his fringe and closed his eyes. The older Server stood up and left. Arlert clenched his fist and stood up, he stared at the stairs for a couple of seconds then walked forward.

A Server whom he could have no chance to win over any hurdles even he lived in the Hub longer than the guy.

Meanwhile, Aika delivered lunch of Ryuu. The basic set of meals they had in the dining hall. Ryuu gazed at Aika, the Lady was doing a quick cleaning on the other bedrooms, as if she was checking them from something she was expecting to see and Ryuu was clueless of what it was. Still, he had no courage to ask her about the thought he assumed. His attention only focused on his meal. He could sit down on the bed, still he needed a couple of pillows to lean his back on, slanted position causing him to eat his meal slowly.

Amanda told them he could not attend any clients for the meantime until his injuries got better. Ryuu was troubled about it. It was not something usual to follow a procedure of an injured patient in a not so ordinary place. He was only waiting for his Lady to fill him up the things he needed to know, to lessen his worries.
