A/N: Hello! Omg I'm so lonely... I have no life besides this. *sadness* But it's okay. I get to write about blind Archer while other peoples are doing boring things! *evil giggles* I need to change the rating for this. Oops! Hehehe... enjoy... there's kissing...

Toad P.O.V

I was pulled from my sleep when I felt Archer thrashing beside me, small whimpers of fear escaping his lips. I opened my eyes and was sad to see him so distressed.

The obnoxious beeping of the heart monitor's rapid pace rang in my ears. I sighed and protectively pulled him closer, stroking his hair and whispering comforting words in his ear.

Apparently that startled him and in response he fought to get away from me, tears dampening the blindfold over his eyes.

"Shhh, baby it's me. Don't cry, everything's okay..." I whispered over the cries that flew from his lips.

I don't know if he was even awake, but he started talking.

"How 'm I s-supposed to be a sniper i-if I can't see...?" He whimpered, grabbing at the blindfold.

"Shhh, no Archer, don't touch," I said, holding his wrists in one hand while the other ran through his hair. "It's alright, just go back to sleep..."

To my relief, after a few minutes he quieted and fell asleep once more, the nightmares not disturbing him again for the rest of the night...

Archer P.O.V

I awoke with a yawn, opening my eyes to complete and utter darkness. My lungs seemed to constrict, refusing to accept the oxygen they needed. Oh my god.

The panic caused my heart to hammer in my chest and I vaguely heard rapid beeping somewhere beside me. Suddenly a pair of arms enveloped me, a familiar voice murmuring comforting words in my ear.

"Hey, hey. Calm down, you're fine." Toad said softly, rubbing my back.

The events of yesterday came back to me and I wanted to cry all over again. I bit my lip and pulled him closer to me. I wanted to see his face so badly. Not being able to see him makes me feel like he isn't here, and when he isn't here I feel alone. I hate it.

We laid there for a few minutes and I tried to pull myself together. I thought of what Toad looked like and tried to think of characteristics that made him... well, him. I was so deep in thought that I jumped when I felt his hands cup my cheeks.

"You okay, babe?" He asked, his voice filled with concern.

I shakily nodded, still trying to subdue the panic that threatened to rise up and take over. Toad could easily read me and knew damn well that I was far from okay.

I felt his hot breath on my cheeks right before he leaned in and pressed his lips against mine. In that moment all of my stress and worry melted away into oblivion...

I was a bit surprised, as I couldn't see and hadn't really been expecting it, but I kissed him back after a moment. I felt one of his hands move up to gently hold the back of my neck as he tilted his head, deepening the kiss.

I felt his tongue prod at my lips and granted access freely, moaning in pleasure as it slipped in to wrestle with mine. I felt him smile against my lips and I could picture his grinning face. It made me feel somewhat better.

He pulled away after a few moments because sadly, both of us needed to breathe. I heard him laugh slightly and grinned in response.

"What is it?" I asked, wondering what was so funny.

He rubbed a thumb across my cheek and gave me a peck on the lips, effectively widening my smile.

"I made you smile." He chuckled, and I could feel him playing with my hair.

I nuzzled my face against his palm and he giggled.

"I love you." I mumbled.

"Love you too." He replied, my heart fluttering as he kissed me on the cheek.

We laid there for a while, just relaxing and enjoying each other's presence. It was peaceful for the first time since my accident. I had almost fallen asleep when Toad gently pulled me into a sitting position. I startled, instinctively looking around for the danger and forgetting that I couldn't see.

"What is it?" I asked curiously.

"Doc's coming in to look you over, then we're free to go. Didn't you hear him say so yesterday?" He asked, wrapping an arm around my waist as he sat beside me.

I shook my head... He must've said that while I wasn't listening. I jumped when I heard footsteps approaching... I still wasn't used to not being able to see. But I didn't plan on getting used to it, either. I don't need to. Cause I'm gonna get better.

"Hey, Archer. How are you doing today?" Doc asked, his voice sounding nearby.

I shrugged slightly.

"Fine." I muttered, looking up to my left, where I assumed his face was.

He laughed and said, "Over here."

He was to my right. Damn it. I felt a blush spreading across my cheeks, making matters worse. I wish I could get this over with quickly and leave.

"Okay, I'm gonna remove your IV, then clean your wound and check your eyes. Then we'll be all done, alright?" He explained, and I nodded silently.

Even though I knew it was coming, I couldn't help but flinch when he pulled the IV needle out. It burned... He pressed a cotton ball to it, to stop the bleeding, and put a band-aid over it to keep it in place.

He pulled my sleeve up a bit to get at the wound and began unwrapping the bandages. When those were gone, he cleaned the wound with peroxide and wrapped it in fresh bandages.

"Your stitches look good and there's no sign of infection. I'll remove those in... probably two days. Now, let's see those eyes." He said, tugging the blindfold off.

Holy shit. I wasn't expecting him to do that. I blinked, trying to get the room to quit swaying. Hey... wait a minute. The room. I can see the room! Oh my god!

Well... kinda. It's less blurry and a bit lighter. Now, instead of extremely blurry blobs of color, I could make out shapes and name a few objects really close to me. Far away is still super blurry, but it's definitely an improvement.

"Can you see any better or is it the same as yesterday?" Doc asked curiously.

"It's definitely better. Far away is still the same, but I can make out closer objects. Yesterday they were unrecognizable blobs that were super blurry but now it's clearer."

Toad released a sigh of relief and hugged me.

"Damn, seriously?"

I nodded, looking around, still thrilled that I could make out a few objects.

"That's great! It's rare that people recover from nerve damage, but it seems like you're on your way to a full recovery. Don't get too optimistic though, we're not there yet. I'm going to put this back on now, don't wanna damage your eyes."

I pouted as he tied the blindfold back in place. Well... I had freedom for a moment. Now it's dark again. Shit.

"Leave that on. Toad, don't let him take it off. I know he'll try at some point." He warned and I rolled my eyes.

Too bad they didn't see it...

"Anyways, Archer, you look fine. You're free to go but for fuck's sake, be careful. I don't want to hear that you wandered off on your own and fell down the stairs or something. Oh, and I almost forgot to ask, do you want more pain meds before you go?"

I shook my head, ignoring the dull throb that had developed in the back of it. It wasn't bad enough for me to need pain meds... Plus if he gave them to me I'd be asleep for at least half of the day. Those things always knock me out and I kinda feel like he does that on purpose...

He patted my shoulder and I heard him stand up.

"Alright then, enjoy your freedom. Hope you get better, Archer." He said cheerfully, beginning to clean up his medical supplies.

"Thanks, Doc. See ya later!" Toad replied.

I turned my head to my left, the side of me that Toad was on, and looked up. He's taller than me, so I always know where his head is when he sits beside me.

I kissed along his jaw line and asked, "So where are we going?"

He chuckled and said, "Well I was thinking the rec room, but if you don't want to it's fine."

I hesitated. The rec room is... to put it shortly- very loud with a lot going on all at once. Every noise would probably scare the shit out of me. I knew I would be overwhelmed if we went there... I pawed at the back of my neck, a habit of mine when I was nervous.

"Uhhh... can we just hang out in our room? The rec room's kinda loud..." I mumbled.

"Sure! But first, are you hungry? If you are we can stop by the mess hall and grab some food."

I shook my head... the thought of food makes me nauseous. Toad laughed and patted my cheek.

"You just turned green, Arch. Alright, let's go. You think you can walk?"

"Yeah, I think so..."

I stood on wobbly legs and he pulled my arm across his shoulder, supporting some of my weight. I took a few hesitant, slow steps and he patiently waited for me to adjust. I honestly don't know what I'd do without him...

"You good?" He asked.

He worries about me so much... I feel loved.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Please don't let me run into anything..." I laughed nervously.

He kissed me on top of the head.

"I wouldn't do that. Roach totally would. But I'm not gonna, so you don't need to worry."

"Yay..." I giggled.

We walked out the door and down the hallway, to the room we shared. Toad let go of me, telling me to stay put while he opened the door. After a moment I heard a slight click that told me the door was unlocked. He lead me inside and I heard the door shut behind us.

"Here, sit on the bed." He ordered, placing his hands on my shoulders and pushing me onto the soft surface.

I felt the bed dip when he sat beside me, pulling me down to lay with him. I sighed and snuggled up against him, listening to his heart beat and wishing we could lay here together forever.
