Alright, time to see what happened to Zane. Enjoy! Also, song lyrics are not mine.
Darkness. That was all that surrounded Zane. He didn't know where he was, or how much time had passed, the darkness just seemed endless. Just then, something broke through the darkness.
"This is what I brought you, this you can keep."
A voice? It sounded familiar, but Zane couldn't place it yet.
"This is what I brought, you may forget me."
The voice was singing to him. But why?
"I promise to depart, just promise one thing."
Wait, was that...
"Kiss my eyes and lay me to sleep."
Syrus?
Zane finally managed to open his eyes, and there he saw his little brother swaying and softly singing the song. Zane smiled softly at the sound of Syrus' voice, it had been a long time since he heard Syrus sing. When had been the last time his little brother sung with him around? Defiantly before Syrus' first year at Duel Academy, but maybe it was even farther back than that.
A sharp gasp brought Zane back to reality, he looked up to see Syrus staring at him with tears in the corners of his silver eyes and a hand over his mouth. Before Zane could say or do anything, Syrus threw himself forward and wrapped his arms around his older brother, tears of happiness finally falling.
"Zane! Oh thank Ra you're alright, we were starting to worry since you were taking so long to wake up!" Syrus cried, sounding relieved.
Zane gently pulled away from the embrace and sat up as best he could. "See Syrus," he said, smiling warmly. "I told you I would be alright."
Syrus sighed with a frown and shook his head, this caused Zane to narrow his eyes in confusion. "What's up Sy?" he asked, concerned.
Syrus sighed again, and gave Zane a look that sent shivers up his spine. "Zane, during the surgery, you body started to give out because you're old heart was gone," he explained slowly. "For a while it wasn't in your favor, but they were able to save you through some miracle."
At first, all Zane could do was stare at his little brother in disbelief. Then, he gently wrapped his arms around the smaller boy. "Sy, I'm so sorry I scared you that bad," he told him quietly. "I promise I won't let it happen again. For real this time."
Syrus let out a small laugh. "Alright Big Bro," he replied happily. "And if you need anything, just let me know."
Zane thought for a moment, then answered with. "Actually Sy, there is one thing you could do for me."
Sy pulled away and said. "Name it, I'll be glad to do it."
Zane smiled warmly and asked gently. "Could you...continue singing that song from when I woke up?"
Syrus blushed a little in embarrassment, but nodded anyway. Then when Zane laid back down, Syrus took his hand, and resumed the song.
.~.~.~.~.~.~.
Zane smiled warmly when he saw Atticus and Jaden walk into the room, looking relieved to see him awake and okay. Though Atticus did dash up to him and nearly crushed his chest with the force of the hug he gave, but nevertheless Zane was happy to see them so overjoyed.
Alexis and the others weren't to far behind on visiting him, but Zane was patient. Plus, turned out that she, Jaden and Jesse would secretly bring some nice food for Zane, since his stomach didn't always agree with hospital food.
In truth, Zane wasn't happy with the fact that he had to stay in the hospital for another week, but he knew he could handle anything with Syrus by his side. Zane knew that the old wounds of the past between would one day rear their ugly heads, but the two would be ready to fight them, with everything they had. And Zane would make sure they did it together, as brothers.
THE END!
