Bathsheba blushed a little when he saw Katsu and Natsuki talking to each other so very tenderly. She giggled to herself as she saw two men kind of "flirting" with each other.
"Oh well, two guys off the list I guess." She wispered to herself. Since it is already closing time, she guessed maybe she'd do a little exploring and meet up with Jeroboam.

Natsuki smiled, naturally flattered by Katsu's comment. "Of course," he agreed cordially.
And so Natsuki spent most of the afternoon at the hospital. They talked about the nursery; about how Natsuki had gotten his love for plants from his parents; how he had decided to open the nursery even though he was only nineteen and hardly a year out of high school. They talked about numerous other things as well.
The bullet was extracted without much difficulty. As a nurse was dressing Katsu's wound, Natsuki excused himself from the room. He stepped out into the hallway, then collapsed against the wall, bringing a hand to his temple.
'What am I doing?' Natsuki wondered, shaking his head before letting it drop against his chest. "Getting excited over a man I hardly know," he murmured. "I must be a fool."

Katsu smiled at the nurse and shook his head when she offered him painkillers. He stood up and walked out to the doorway of the room, looking for Natsuki. Then he saw the younger man leaning against the wall and frowned.
"Natsuki, are you okay?" he asked worriedly.

Natsuki heard Katsu's voice, and shook himself out of his reverie. "I'm fine," he murmured quietly, not bothering to look up.
Then the moment passed, and his smile had returned. "What about you, Umebuki-san? Are you sure you should be up and about already?"

Katsu felt a niggling feeling that Natsuki was not as fine as he seemed, but decided not to broach the subject. "I'm fine. A week or two and I'm completely healed," he said cheerfully.

"That's good," Natsuki's smile became genuine. "I'm sure you'll be released from the hospital very soon, if that's so."
Natsuki sighed. "I should probably see about getting a hotel room to stay in while the contracters are repairing the bullet holes in my walls," he said laughingly. "I had quite a time trying to explain exactly how the showdown in my living room came about. "

Katsu laughed. "They're not keeping me in here for a simple bullet wound, in the arm, of all places. I'm heading home soon."
A pause
"Actually, if you don't mind, do you want to stay at my flat until everything's completed?" Katsu asked.

Natsuki glanced up, surprised by the invitation. "if it's not too much trouble...." he smiled brilliantly. "That would be great. Sankyuu, Umebuki-san." He turned back towards Katsu's hospital room.
Natsuki blinked. It was then that the implications of what he had just agreed to hit him....
(ooc- Nyaha, don't you just love the corruption of thr innocent? ;D )

ooc- of course I love it . I believe I corrupted FT's. And Semm's. And Kai's. Muaha. ic- Katsu smirked to himself behind Natsuki, schooling his expression quickly back to a simple grin. "I don't need to be in the hospital room now. I'm officially discharged," he said cheerfully. "We'll make a stop by at the shop so you can get your clothes and stuff, and then I'll take you to my flat."

Natsuki nodded. "Okay," he said as they headed for toward the lounge. "Our ride out of here should be here soon. I just called Aaron to bring my car from the shop. He should be here any minute now."
(ooc- and the plot thickens....) (ic-) He could tell Katsu wanted to ask about Aaron, but before he had a chance, the hospital door flew open, and red-haired man with an careless grin stepped in. "Hey, 'Tsuki-chan, how ya doin'?" Aaron said, before stepping forward to wrap Natsuki in a warm embrace.
(ooc- dun dun dun.... nyahaha. I love a bit of good tension. ^__^)

ooc- oooooh...fun. ;D
ic- Katsu kept his smile pasted on his face, despite the fact that his stomach now churned extremely uncomfortably. He suddenly felt a bit embarrassed about his actions before. Maybe Natsuki had a boyfriend...and he had been flirting with him all day...he swatted his uneasy thoughts and remembered his manners.
"Hi, I'm Umebuki Katsu," he said cheerfully.

Natsuki scowled indingantly. "Aaron, I told you to stop calling me that." he whined, reluctantly embracing his friend back. It was then that Katsu spoke up.
Aaron turned a sharp glance toward the other man, eyeing him speculatively. Then he became all charm. "Hi there," he said seductively. "I'm Aaron. Very pleased to meet you."

"As am I," Katsu replied, bowing slightly. "I...work for Natsuki."

Aaron continued to smile lecherously. "I see," he said benignly. The sparkle in his eyes was anything by benign, however.
(ooc-I think Katsu may have met his match. ^__^ )
(ic-) "So, you work for 'Tsuki-chan, eh?" He wiggled his eyebrows "I wonder just how much he pays--OWCH!"
Aaron yelped as Natsuki, having had quite enough, suddenly and violently kicked Aaron in the leg. "Idiot. Where are my car keys?" He held out his hand expectantly.
Aaron grumbled a bit, but obligingly handed over the keys. "Getting posessive, ne? Ah, well. You never did like sharing." he passed a hand through his reddish hair and sighed dramatically.
Natsuki flushed, knowing full well what Aaron was insinuating, and turned on his heel. "Let's head out, Umebuki-san."

ooc- methinks so too.
ic- Katsu felt a disturbing mini-rollercoaster run through him; elation when Natsuki kicked Aaron (the devil inside him cheering in victory), and then a stab of disappointment afterwards. Maybe it was because he hoped Natsuki might call him by his first name...then mentally slapped himself. Idiot.
"Alright," Katsu said, walking behind Natsuki, considering for a moment before flashing Aaron a gloating grin at him getting kicked.
