[So he feels really guilty being the one helped into bed. It should be him helping Makoto. It should have been him helping Makoto from the beginning, to prevent her death in the first place...
Atsushi wants to stay sitting up, but his head hurts so much. His body betrays him as he sways and falls back against the pillows. This really sucks and he really hates it. He moves a hand to his forehead, trying to guard against a migraine.]
We can take turns, right? Looking after each other in shifts? You need rest too, Makoto-chan.
That sounds like a good idea. We can help take care of each other and make sure that we don't overdo it.
[She liked that idea, and it was a little comforting because it meant that he'd take care of himself. Makoto felt a little selfish about it, but it also meant that he was thinking of her as well.]
Get some rest for now though, I'm going to change and lie down too.
[Atsushi nods in agreement. He wants to make it easier for her and knows she probably wants to get to bed now... But first, he gently grabs her sleeve.]
Hey. Thanks... I’m glad you’re here.
[He’s so glad she’s alive. When he realized she’d died, he had really lost his cool. Thinking about it makes him feel sick(er) even now.
[Makoto's heart skipped a beat when he grabbed her sleeve, and she blushed a little though it might have been hard to tell with how flush she had been.]
I'm glad that you're here too. That we can be here together.
[He’s so tired. But it’s reassuring to hear. Atsushi releases his hold on her sleeve and nods.
There’s so much more that he would say, if he had the energy. That he’s glad she isn’t gone for good, he’s so sorry that she ever died at all. He won’t make that mistake again. From now on, he’ll actually protect her.]
... mm. Get some rest. I’ll come check on you later.
[Mokoto nodded, holding a hand up to her chest as she felt like her heart might leap out of it. There was a lot that she wanted to say too, but she wasn't really sure if she should, or if she could. She had to think about Usagi, and about Atsushi.]
I will, you get some rest too Sushi-kun. I'll leave my door open so if you need anything.
[She smiled a bit, though she felt a little guilty at the same time. Everything had gone wrong, and yet Sushi was still being so nice and comforting. He really was special.]

[She wishes that she could have done something to keep him safe and from dying in the first place. Helping him to the bed she smiled weakly.]
But if you need anything please tell me, I want you to get better soon.
