~Light~

(What if Codex had fallen down the stairs instead of the stuntman?)

I was just getting the rest of the boxes into my new apartment, with a little of Zaboo's help when I decided the fresh air would be nice. It would give me a chance to do a little sight seeing and maybe get to know a few of my neighbors. I left Zaboo, knowing that nothing truly bad could happen if he was left alone because his love for me was so strong that he would rather delete his max character than actually take anything from my apartment. I walked down the hall and upon noticing that all of the apartments looked the same that the only interesting thing I would find would most likely be downstairs. I remembered that right off the stairs was a nice looking park and I decided the weather was nice enough to just sit and relax for a little bit. As I turned the corner, I bumped into someone. I couldn't get a good look at their face because before I knew it, I was tumbling down the stairs head first. The last thing I heard was Zaboo yell my name and the next time I opened my eyes, I was in a hospital bed. When my eyes first fluttered open, all I saw was light. When they finally adjusted, I saw Zaboo, sitting on a chair next to my bed, his head resting next to my knee. His hand was holding mine. I moved my fingers slightly and his head shot up.

"Oh Codex, you're okay? I was so worried about you!"

"What happened?" I groaned, starting to realize how bad my head hurt.

"You fell down an entire flight of stairs, how are you feeling?"

I looked out the window noticing it was nearly dawn. I had been asleep since yesterday afternoon? And Zaboo had stayed with me the entire time?

"I feel okay, aside from my leg killing me." I replied, smiling weakly.

"Yeah, you broke your leg on the way down. The doctor said you may need someone to help take care of you and I stepped up to the plate to help nurse you back to health. Haha nursed'd." He said and yawned. I smiled again and squeezed his hand.

"At least I have a good excuse to spend all of my time on The Game now, right?"
