A/N: Review and enjoy. It isn't much, but I tried.

Smile

He needed to know that she was all right. He didn't care if he had to wait for years. He wanted to be there when she woke up. He wanted to be the first person he saw when she woke up, but his hope was withering as she lay there, asleep like a sleeping princess. It was his fault; no one else could be blamed. It frustrated and irritated him that he had been so weak. That he let his father take control of him, but that wasn't ever going to happen again. He promised himself.

He sat still beside her bed and studied the orange hair girl, resting peacefully. She looked like she was dreaming, yet he didn't know what.

Sorry wasn't good enough, he thought bitterly to himself as lowered his gaze to the floor. Nothing could compensate for what he had done. He had committed what he considered a sin to him. To hurt someone who had cared for him all this time killed and tortured his soul. He rather not have her hurt, it should have been who took the blow, or get some sort of punishment. She didn't deserve this…

"Just wake up soon…" he reached for her hand and fingered it gently with a sorrowful expression on his face.

It was pointless. No matter what, no matter how positive he attempted to be, it failed him in the end. He wasn't just the kind of person to have that kind of air around him. He only knew of darkness and that's the only thing that's ever revolved around him, but she had been there to tell him that he has light inside his heart. He just didn't know it lied there, dormant.

"Don't give me that look Shiki, smile a bit," a soft voice mumbled and he looked up to meet her beautiful, blue orbs. Something which he hadn't seen in weeks much less months…he missed the color so much.

"But…" he said hesitantly and quietly as he scooted closer to her.

She pressed a finger to his lip and smiled lightly at him. "For me?"

And he did.

"I dreamt that you smiled, and you should do it more often. It makes me feel that you've finally managed to find a place to be…to have a more meaningful life."

Of course he found a place to be, he found her heart.
