Aoi lied in the hospital bed for a few hours, tossing and turning, before the door finally opened again. The doctor from before made his way over, looking over a chart again as he waved a few other people into the room.

"As I said before, we'll be doing a few tests. Though I had hoped you'd have at least gotten a few more hours of rest." he stated, his gaze moving to look at Aoi with a look of annoyance. "Anyways, we'll just finish the tests and figure out what to do after that."

Aoi didn't say anything else as he looked down at his hands, fiddling with the blanket as he sat there silently. It wasn't like he had requested to be here ah? Why make him feel like he done something to be guilty of!

The doctor let out a light cough as the two nurses moved about to draw some blood work as well as take his blood pressure and temperature. "By the way, My name is Dr Xing." he then stated his gaze softening as he moved to read the results recorded by the nurses. Nodding, he moved to grab a wheelchair that was at the side, pushing it over to the bed.

"We'll be going to take a CT scan. Can you get up yourself and move to the wheelchair?" He asked glancing at the youth still fiddling with the sheets covering him.

Aoi blushed before pressing his lips, moving to get out of the bed. His legs trembled as he pushed his weight onto them, his head growing dizzy as he held onto the side of the bed. Before he could fall however, Dr Xing had moved to grabbing him, helping him shift into the wheelchair.

"If you weren't able to do it, you just had to say something." he lightly reprimanded before beginning to push him out of the room. Aoi didn't say anything as he lowered his head, feeling very frustrated. Despite how long he had always pushed his body before. He had never been this miserable okay?!

Not feeling like saying anything, the youth kept his mouth shut as the doctor pushed him to the CT room. Normally this was something the assistance or interns would do, however Dr. Xing had never cared for pushing his job onto someone else. What more, this youth was someone he brought in himself. So he had wanted to see the treatment through himself.

When they arrived, Dr. Xing moved to help Aoi stand up, guiding him to the bed attached to the machine, adjusting him so that he was laying down properly. "Okay, so it will take about 10 minutes to do the work up. Being as I want to do a full body scan. Nurse Lia will be adding the contrast, so it might feel odd. If you feel like its to painful let us know. Just in case theirs an issue with it." He stated as he checked the IV attached to the youths hand.

Aoi just nodded as he closed his eyes, trying to keep himself from completely having a panic attack. Despite not feeling to uncomfortable in class, Aoi really disliked being around strangers. What more, he was having to go through this damn test which caused him to be even more nervous!

Dr. Xing patted Aoi's head softly, as if sensing that he was struggling with something. "I promise it wont take long okay? Just bare with it." he stated softly before heading out to start running the test.

The nurse remained by his side, adjusting the IV before slowly adding in the contrast as the machine began to scan his body. The ringing sound filled the room, causing Aoi's heart to speed up a bit as he bit his lower lip.

It wasn't until the sound stopped that Aoi slowly let out a breath of air, feeling drained as he weakly opened his eyes again. He really hated this ah? Maybe he should of turned the meeting down and just stayed home?

Unaware of the youths conflicting emotions, Dr. Xing came back in to help him move back to the wheelchair, easily steadying the youth that seemed even weaker than before. "You really..." he sighed shaking his head as he took Aoi back to his room.

It wasn't until Aoi was settled back into the bed that Dr. Xing stood there for a moment, seeming unsure. "Are you going to sleep, or did you want some medication to help?" He asked. It was clear how tired the boy was, but for some reason he doubt the boy would sleep on his own.

Aoi blinked a few times as he looked up at the doctor before turning his gaze away. "I...don't know." he said honestly. He wanted to sleep, it wasn't like he had always avoided it by choice! He just...couldn't.

Holding back his questions, Dr. Xing nodded as he lowered his head to record something. "I'll be back with something to help you sleep then."
