On his way to the other dorm, Bachira contemplates about what to say to Rin when he arrives. Their past conversation was left off a little rough, and although Bachira thinks that Rin may not really like him right now, he still wants to see Rin, alive in person. He's heard from Hiori that Rin isn't doing so bad physically and he's recovering.
Rin is working on his homework when hears a knock on the door. He ignores it, finishing up the question he was working on, but he hears another knock.
He finishes another question when he hears something else, not a knock, but the sounds of somebody entering a passcode.
Bachira thought Rin was sleeping due to not answering the door, but he's greeted with Rin sitting at his desk with a pencil in his hand when he walks into the room.
"Oh, Hi Rin!"
Rin turns his head around. "Bachira? I thought you were Shidou. How do you know my dorm's passcode?"
"Shidou told me."
"Of course.."
"Are you feeling better?"
"No."
"Okay." Bachira decides to get comfy in Rins bed, sitting on the bed next to Rin, who was sitting on a chair.
"They took away most of my belongings because my things could, quote on quote, harm me."
"So.. no more pills, I guess?"
"Not just that, they're taking away everything eventually."
"What do you mean by that?"
"I.. I'm- never mind, nothing."
Bachira blinks at him for a few seconds. "Can I hug you?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Do I need a reason?"
"Not exactly, but I would like one."
"Because it's gonna be really fucking embarrassing."
"How?"
"Because. Just because."
"You're so difficult."
"I'm so difficult? You're the one who keeps pushing at me and asking me questions here and there, not to mention, you literally barge into my dorm without permission."
"I have Shidou's permission."
"If you're here for him then you shouldn't even be here at all. He isn't in the dorm."
"Hello? I'm here for you. I thought that was a given."
"You claim to be here for me, but one, you didn't tell or ask me beforehand, two, you are arguing with me right now."
".. I just care about you, okay? Is it really that bad to care for someone?" Bachira felt the urge to cry right that second.
"Yes. It is, so just stop."
"I can't."
As Bachira's eyes started to water, Rin places his own head on the desk and his hands on his head, showing that he was stressed.
"I just.. can't."
He wiped the tears falling down his face with the palms of his hands. He then realized that there was warmth around him, almost as if he was.. being embraced?
Bachira opens his eyes to find a blurry view of Rin's back, arms wrapped around him. His face was buried into Bachira's shoulder, and not long after, Bachira started to feel wetness on his sleeve.
He gets a little bit of deja vu from the time where he saw water glistening in Sae's eyes. He felt as if it's okay for him to cry as well, so, he starts sobbing harder while wrapping his own arms around Rin.
Rin is the one who breaks the silence after they got all their tears out. "See what I said? Embarrassing. I'm going to sleep."
"I'll sleep beside you."
".. Okay."
Sleeping at 5 00 in the afternoon will bound them to wake up at midnight.

Bachira closes his phone and sets it into his pocket. He looks over at Rin, who's still sleeping on his bed, but decides to go without bothering his sleep. He starts to walk away from Rin's bed towards the door when he feels his hand being pulled.
"Can you stay?" Rin whispers.
Bachira finds it hard to say no, "Oh, sure."
"Thank you."
"Don't even."
