[AKIRA & SHOU TANAKA.]

THESE TEARS RUN DOWN MY FACE
TASTING OF SALT

About a week ago, Shou had been attacked by one of the other patients with a shard of glass for no reason. None of the nurses had seen it, and the twins had been too scared to tell them about the deep wound in Shou’s side. Their nurses always found a way to blame even the most minor wounds on them, just because they liked self-injury. So Akira had managed to steal a needle and some thread to stitch the cut in Shou’s side. After stitching the wound closed himself, Akira licked away the blood on his hands and around the wound, but they had no way of actually cleaning or treating the cut.

Now Akira tried to help his twin walk down the hallway, but Shou was getting heavier and heavier. Shou’s cut was infected, and the pain was getting to be too much. He groaned and held his side, bending over slightly. ”Shou?” Akira asked worriedly, trying to help his twin stand up right. ”Just give me a minute, Kira-chan” He said through gritted teeth, trying to regain his composure. He pushed himself further down the hall, feeling weaker and weaker with each step that he took. ’Just a little further’ He thought, breaking out into a cold sweat with the effort he was making. His breathing started to get more shallow, and he groaned again as the pain in his side intensified to the point where he just couldn’t take it anymore. His eyes rolled back and slid closed, and as he let go of Akira’s t-shirt, he started to fall, passing out from the pain.

”SHOU!” Akira screamed, trying to catch his twin as he fell, and ended up falling with him. Tears started to form in Akira’s eyes as he tried to wake up his older brother, but Shou seemed to refuse to open his eyes. ”Shou, wake up! This isn’t funny!” Akira cried, the tears now falling down his cheeks. Sometimes Shou liked to pretend that he wasn’t awake, then he would jump up and start to tickle his little twin. Akira continued to shake his brother, but he still got no response. ’What do I do?!’ He thought frantically, looking around the hall as if that would give him the answer. ”Help!” He yelled, although the hall was deserted. Akira just didn’t know what else he could do, so he started yelling.

Running towards what sounded like footsteps, Akira looked for someone to that could help him, trying to see through his tears. ”Someone help me!” He screamed desperately, turning in circles in attempts to see someone, anyone. Finally, a figure caught his attention, but Akira refused to go any further away from his brother. He stayed where he was until he saw that it was a nurse and she got closer. ”Please, you have to help me!” His plea was covered by an accent that sounded cute even in his distress. ”My brother’s dead!” He cried dramatically, and ran back towards his twin quickly. Sitting on the floor, he took Shou’s head in his lap and gently kissed his pale cheek. Shou was not dead, just exhausted with putting up with the pain in his side. He hadn’t been able to hold out any longer. ”Make him alive, please!” Akira begged, his vision blurring again because of his tears.

Nurse Lily Hawkson, the name was still strange to woman who looked at herself in the mirror. Long red hair hid behind a pink nurses cap that reminded her of Pokémon a television show she used to watch as a kid. It always looked strange to her that these respectable women wore tiny revealing outfits and degrading pink hats. She was now one of these women. Lillian had been a nurse in training for three years, working with elderly and mentally handicapped children and adults. She just liked the feeling that came with helping those that couldn’t help themselves, she was content with that life until her father needed her to go out and support the family. It wasn’t hard to find a job, with the credentials that she has she could have gotten into any facility in the country, however that wasn’t where she ended up. Aldridge Resort, she had never heard of the place before getting a phone call a week before packing up her bags and becoming one of the many nurses in the place. There was something about the strange new experimental program that fascinated her. insane prisoners acting on their own accord, sounds interesting. No more rules, boundaries, anything those were her thoughts before coming to this place two weeks ago. She found out then and there that this was just like a maximum risk prison. There was barbed wire, watch towers, guards the whole bit, the only difference was that the patients intermingled with one another that at least made her want to stay.

She signed the contract, of course without reading it, like most nineteen year-olds do on their first real job which signed her life to them for the next five years. The administration could do whatever they please with her during working hours and she wasn’t allowed to complain at all. So she hasn’t. She has done everything that her bosses want her to do, take care of whatever patient they want her to, and hasn’t said a word… but looking into the mirror before going out on her shift the redhead wanted to scream. She felt like a robot, it was agonizing having to not have a brain in anything she did, and walking out of her room she left with a big smile. The doctors told her that if she didn’t smile the patients would take offence to that and hurt her, so she smiled all the time, even when she was dyeing inside.

She walked down the hallway saying hello to either patient or nurse that walked by, and that filled her with some sort of joy. It made the young nurse feel needed when she walked by a patient and they either smiled at her, or said hello. Many of them just continued to walk, but she still did it anyways. Continuing her walk through the many halls she saw a boy running frantically around, and then coming closer to her. She was scared but continued to walk and then she saw that he was in trouble. ”Ok calm down, speak slower. Where is he? Oh my God, It’s ok he’s still breathing, I want you to go over to the other wall, I need to undress him and see if there is infection anywhere. Everything will be ok. What’s your name?” Lily said, she was trying to take hold of the situation, but the young boy was just making her more nervous. Before waiting around for someone to come, or even for her to make a call she started to undress the blonde boy’s shirt to check where the cold sweat was coming from. She new it was an infection from all the signs, and then saw it. “We need to take him to the doctors, he needs penicilan. This is blood poisoning, and without it he will die. Can you come here and help me. There’s no time for me to call the doctors here” she said while picking the boy up and putting him over her shoulder all the while motioning for the twin to come help. This was turning out to be a very interesting day.

Akira was beyond relieved to hear that Shou was alive, but the worry set in again as quickly as it had left him. He didn’t leave his brother when the nurse told him to, but instead clung to him, too afraid to leave Shou in the nurses hands alone. ”I-I’m Ak-kira” He stammered, looking at the nurse with pure fear in his expression. He had no idea what he was supposed to do now, but he certainly wasn’t going to let anyone get near his twin without being close by. He watched as the nurse unbuttoned Shou’s top and the sight of the wound made Akira gasp and look away. Why hadn’t Shou made him go for help sooner?

The little blond looked horrified at the thought of his twin dying, and started to cry again. ”He can’t die!” Akira sobbed, letting go of his brother to cry into his hands. He gasped when the nurse picked Shou up and put him over her shoulder. Not sure how to help her at all, Akira just fixed his twin over her shoulder and held onto both of his hands. He kissed the tops of them and caressed them with his cheek. ”Please be okay”

[/I] He whispered in Japanese, staring into his brothers unconscious face. ”Who else will take care of me, who else will make me feel loved?”[/I] Tears fell faster down his cheeks and he lightly kissed his twins lips. It was a good thing Shou was light, or carrying him would be a problem for the nurse.

He followed as the nurse carried his twin down to a room that already had two doctors inside, sipping coffee. Akira felt his heart beating against his chest, and started to back away, but then remembered his twin and kept close to the nurse. As the two doctors were filled in, they sighed, put their coffees down and started to look for the stuff that they would need. ”This boy needs new stitches, it looks like it was done with a sewing needle” One of the doctors commented as he looked at the infected wound. Akira looked down at the ground in embarrassment. ”Please take this boys friend outside, and we will work on the boy” The other doctor said as he held up a syringe filled with the medicine that would make Shou better.

”No! I want to stay with him, please!” Akira said, pushing the doctor away that tried to come to the door to push him out. ”Please, please, just let me stay!” He started to sob, but his tears had no affect on the doctors at all. Apparently they were used to their patients crying and begging, because nothing Akira said phased them one bit. The little blond was pushed out into the hallway and left to watch from the little window. He pulled a bench over so that he could look through the window with ease and gasped as they watched the doctors start to pull out the stitches. Akira had thought he’d done a pretty good job up until the cut had gotten infected. He tilted his head as he watched worriedly, seeing them clean the cut. Shou’s back arched slightly, then went limp once again, a pained expression flickering across his doll-like face. ”Shou-san?” Akira asked, pressing his hand against the window. For a moment he thought that his twin was waking up, but Shou’s expression became blank once again.

The weary nurse attempted to smile as she started to walk with the blonde in her grasp. It was a good thing that the little patient was light because with Lily's lack of strength she was using all her efforts to hold the dead weight without herself falling over. It made her a little upset that Akira did not try to help but she was the nurse in the situation. “ Akira is it? My name is Nurse Hawkson, and trust me when I say that everything will be okay. Your twin just needs help.

[/b]” She continued walking to the dingy nurses station. She had not yet gotten used to the idea that dirty working station was all there was. Opening she saw two of the doctors sipping coffee. The higher rank doctors didn't like the girl very much, they made her do all sorts of things that made her feel like she was garbage, and she didn't know if they would be willing to help her at all. The two looked at her with smiles on her face as she crippled into the room, they knew that today would be the day where she would mess up and be punished. “It's a 240, blood poisoning caused by an infection. He needs penicillin now.[/b]” She said sternly while she gave the boy to the other doctors in the room. She was a little sketchy about letting the boy be in their care, but she hadn't finished her nursing training and did not have the proper codes to get the medicine she needed to help the patient. These two were the only ones that could help.

The doctors needed their space to work, the station was too small for more than three people to be in safely and with the twin's condition hanging on a thread, Lily wanted Akira to follow her out of the room so that she could calm him down. “Come on Akira, the doctors need to help him, if you stay here you are only going to be endangering your brother.[/b]” she said, but Akira still protested. She wanted to reason with him some more, but without delay the boy was pushed harshly out of the room. -I guess that they didn't want to deal with him- she thought before holding onto Akira's arm lightly and asked him “So, Akira what happened to your brother. Something gave me the impression that they thought that it was you... and it wasn't uncommon. I want to help you both, but I have to know the truth, did you do this to your twin?[/b]” Lily asked, she wanted to know what kind of patient she was dealing with. It wasn't like she was afraid, from what she had seen in the Aldridge already she had very high expectations of her strength, and sized up the situation at hand carefully. It made the girl very sad seeing the twin so traumatized, there would be no way that this childish boy could have caused such pain to his brother. The way that the blonde looked at the other made her almost fall to weeping. Lily just watched intently and stilly sat.

THESE TEARS RUN DOWN MY FACE

Akira felt relief flowing through him as he saw the needle filled with medicine be pushed into his twin’s upper arm. He bit his lip, still more than a little scared for the well being of his brother. He didn’t trust these doctors with Shou’s life; that would be stupid and was most of the reason why he wanted to stay in the small room while his brother was worked on. He shuddered when the doctor touched him, knowing that this doctor was the one that had changed his twin’s meds not too long ago. Akira quickly tried to pull himself away from the doctor’s grip, but the older man was obviously stronger and pushed the little boy out into the hall with ease, smirking before the door shut in Akira’s face.

The blond quickly shrugged off the nurse, obviously having issues with being touched. He didn’t hear her questions as he stared into the room, but he had to turn away as they took out Shou’s stitches. Realizing that she had spoken to him now that he wasn’t paying attention to Shou, Akira sighed and sat down on the bench. He bit his lip, feeling tears of guilt sting his eyes. ”Kind of” He said softly. ”One of the other people here hurt Shou, but he didn’t want to go to the nurse ‘cause he thought that she would say I did it or something and we didn’t want to get in trouble” The tears now began to slide down his face. ”So I stole a needle and thread, and I sewed it shut so he wouldn’t bleed all over” The truth at last had left Akira’s lips. The little one hated to lie, and he wasn’t very good either. His brother on the other hand was a master, and whenever a lie was needed, Shou spoke so that Akira didn’t mess it up.

”I didn’t think that it would get like this” Slowly Akira stood back up on the bench and gasped, quickly turning away from the scene of the doctors sewing the wound back up. He could feel that Shou was no longer in danger, at least for the time being, and he relaxed a little bit. The doctors were now bandaging up Shou and buttoning up his shirt. Once they decided that their work was done, they cleaned up the mess and went back to their coffee. Akira wished that he could go back inside, but they probably wouldn’t let him in until Shou woke up and went crazy because he wasn’t there.

Akira stretched out a bit, somewhat worn out from all of the drama. He hugged himself, imagining they were Shou’s arms and smiled a little bit but it faded quickly, wishing that he could hug his twin for real. ‘Why did I have to hurt him?’ He thought, becoming upset once again. ”I deserve to be punished, don’t I?” He asked, looking up at the nurse with a scared and sad expression. ”I didn’t mean to hurt him, I wouldn’t ever” He shook his head and looked down at the ground. ”But I still hurt him, and now I’m in trouble, right?” He bit his lip and sighed.

Watching the little boy suffer as his twin lay helpless in the closed room gave Lily chills. She had never seen such torment, and she had been working with the sick and dying all her life. No other soul that had crossed her path showed such love towards family. It only bothered her a little bit when Akira shook her off of him, she didn’t fully understand this place, and still had to learn that not everyone wanted to be touched. The girl was young, barley an adult, and already she had to deal with death, pain, and strange behaviour. This place was not like the books that she had studied, it was not like the homes she volunteered at. It was new and odd. As she waited for him to hear her question Lillian began to make up scenarios of this boy’s diagnostic her head. Maybe he had: Adolescent antisocial behaviour, which would make him a low risk patient. She wished on that but by the way the doctors looked at the boy when throwing him out of the room, she feared that it would be something hidden and sneaky. She waited, fearing lies. There was no guarantee that Akira would talk to her about what happened, nor tell the truth to her. She knew how the patients were with the nurses and doctors, they were scared of getting in trouble, and would either lie, or not talk. Both were accepted. When Akira turned around to face the nurse, Lily couldn’t look into his eyes. He loved his brother so much that he couldn’t stand to watch him, and that made her think back to the way that she couldn’t watch her family suffer through poverty. Both situations were different, and yet the same.

She listened to the boy while he spoke about the situation. As Akira said that Shou was hurt by another patient she wanted to butt in and tell the boy that he would not be the one that got into trouble, it would have been the attacker who would have been put into seclusion, and high security. However she let the boy tell his tale. In Lily’s opinion Akira hadn’t done anything wrong, he had sewn the wound closed to stop the risk of bloodletting e had just failed to clean the wound with alcohol as well as the needle, which was his only fault. His story seemed plausible, either the two had worked very hard on the story, or he was telling the truth; the young nurse felt better Akira telling her the truth. Shou was finished, there was no more noise coming from within the tiny working station. ”No Akira, I don’t think that you will get into trouble because you tried to help your brother. I am positively sure that the main doctors will understand what you did, and there will be an investigation to as the location of this other patient. I'm going to see how they made out, and I will be back in a minute”

The nurse walked into the room with the two doctors and showed no emotion towards them. She knew they hated her, and there was no reason to be friendly to people that just hated you because they could ”How is the boy, all better?” she asked while the two drank their coffee. She heard no response from the arrogant doctors so she went to check it out herself. It was amazing how identical the twins were, she checked the wound which was stitched satisfactory, she could’ve done much better. “Better keep your hands back Lillian, that there is Shou Takanaka, high risk patients. The both of them love blood and will do anything to get it. You should be careful” one of the doctors said behind her. High Risk, was this a joke, the boy outside was so nice, he didn’t seem anything like a blood thirsty monster watch out for the quiet ones love, they are the ones to bite you in the ass she remembered someone telling her. This place was so frustrating! She turned and walked out the door slamming it behind her. ”your brother’s fine, he will be waking up soon. But I don’t know if you wont get in trouble. They are pretty convinced that you and your brother are trouble, and did it on purpose. What did this other paitent look like?”

[/color] She asked the boy, never taking her eyes off the floor.

Akira’s eyes followed the nurse as she went to check on his brother, still too afraid to get back on the bench and look inside the high window. Now instead of cursing his height, he welcomed it because even if he stood up he wouldn’t be able to see inside the room and know what was happening. He wanted to ask the nurse if he could go with her because he didn’t like to be alone, but she was already inside. He sighed and hugged himself tightly, trying to keep the pain away and telling himself Shou was okay now and that the doctors had fixed him. He didn’t completely believe that he wasn’t going to get into trouble for what had happened, since he was to blame. He didn’t know what happened to the other people that lived here, but he was sure that it wasn’t too pleasant.

He got up and started to pace, wondering what was taking the nurse so long. Was something going wrong? He closed his eyes for a minute, trying to feel if Shou was in danger, but he knew that it wasn’t his twin who was in trouble anymore. Akira jumped when he heard the door slammed and turned quickly to face the nurse. He was relieved to know that it was just her, but only for a few seconds before she started to speak. Akira stepped away from the nurse fearfully, feeling the wall behind him. ”Please, I didn’t mean to hurt him” He said, feeling tears start roll down his cheeks. When she asked if he’d seen who had done it, he shook his head. ”I was colouring and all I heard was Shou scream. The person ran away, and I was too busy making sure that Shou was okay”

Suddenly he felt a shiver run down his spine and Akira looked at the door. ”Shou-san” He said softly, just before the doctors started to yell at Shou to lie down, with Shou yelling back at them to let Akira inside. ”You, get in here” One of the doctors demanded as he opened the door to the room. Akira ran in and up to his brother, more tears running down his cheeks. ”Shou-san, I’m so sorry” He gasped, trying to hold in a sob. ”Don’t be” Shou said weakly, reaching out to take his twin’s hand. Akira smiled at him weakly and sat on the small bed. ”Sit in the chair” One of the doctors commanded angrily, making Akira jump up guiltily. When the nurse came in, Shou looked up at Akira and pulled him close enough to kiss his lips lightly. ”Kira-chan, why don’t you go get me a new shirt? I want to talk to the nurse alone” Akira nodded, happy to know that his brother was alright now. He skipped out of the room while Shou struggled to sit himself up, leaning against the wall behind his bed.

”So… Thank you, I guess” Shou told the nurse, giving her a little smile but it faded quickly. The doctors both agreed to move to a different room, apparently deciding that Shou could do no harm while he was this badly hurt. ”Please don’t punish my brother” Shou said to the nurse after the doctors were gone. ”He doesn’t even realize why our parents didn’t want us, he is like a child…” He trailed off, wondering if the nurse even cared. ”I know why our parents didn’t want us, though I don’t see what’s wrong with it” He shrugged his shoulders. Many people liked blood and sex and seeing people suffer, why couldn’t they like it as well? He looked at the nurse, hoping that she wasn’t thinking Akira was to blame. ”I know you probably think this was our fault, but it was not…” He lowered his eyes to the floor and shivered slightly, feeling cold.
