* When he awoke again he was lying in darkness. In the distance he could hear the thump, thump of explosions. He listened for a while. Then he heard a soft footstep.
Her turned over and flung out a hand, to grasp whoever was sneaking up on him. Sure enough, he caught someone's clothing and pulled him down toward his knees, ready to kill if it need be.
"Ender, it's me, it's me!"
He knew the voice. It came out of memory as if it were a million years ago.
"Alai."
"Salaam pinprick. What were you trying to do, kill me?"
"Yes. I thought you were trying to kill me."
"I was trying not to wake you up. Well, at least you have some survival instinct left. The way Mazer talks about it, you were becoming a vegetable."
"I was trying. What's the thumping?"
"There's a war going on here. Our section is blocked out to keep us safe."
Ender swung his legs out to sit up. He couldn't do it, though. His head hurt too bad. He winced in pain.
"Don't sit up, Ender. It's all right." Alai said as he placed a hand on Ender's shoulder. Ender's hand shot out and nearly grabbed Alai's. He patted it, "I missed you, Alai." Ender murmured.
They sat in silence.
"Ender, I must tell you something." Alai broke the awkward silence.
Ender looked Alai in the eyes.
"I-I love you," Alai said slowly.
"I love you too, Alai," Ender replied.
"No, no, I love you. I'm in LOVE with you!"
Ender sat there for a minute. It all came back to him, the hug, 'salaam' and the kiss on the cheek, the rule changing and Ender and Alai becoming [so called] "enemies." And most of all, he remembered missing Alai dearly.
Ender looked Alai in the eyes. A warm smile came about his face.
Alai bent in and kissed Ender on the lips, hoping that's what the warm smile implied. You don't get everything you wish for - sometimes you do.
Ender kissed back.
The kiss was just getting passionate when they heard footsteps. Alai and Ender parted. Alai grinned like a fool.
* They listened. The door opened. Someone stood there. Someone small. "It's over," he said. It was Bean. As if to prove it, the lights went on.
"Ho Bean," Ender said.
"Ho Ender."
Petra followed him in, with Dink holding her hand. They came to Ender's bed. "Hey, the hero's awake," said Dink.
"Who won?" asked Ender.
"We did Ender," said Bean. "You were there."
"He's not that crazy, Bean. He meant who won just now," Petra took Ender's hand. *
The End

Bye, thank you!
