OMG Thank you to all that favorited! I really appreciate it! So, here comes chapter 3...Its got some fluff :3
Ami POV
-"Do you love me?"-
My head was pounding. 'Why?' you ask? I was beaten up by three girls with nothing better to do. I was in the infirmary wing of the Orphanage, I could tell that much just by looking around at the scenery. My vision was only a little blurry, so I could see when the doctor came in. 'What a strange looking doctor' I thought to myself. He was all dressed in orange.
"Hello Miss Misaki, my name is Dr. Orange." He said. 'How ironic' I thought sarcastically
"Nice to meet you." I replied. "Is your name an alias?"
"Why yes, yes it is. How did you guess?" He asked chuckling
"Just a hunch."
A nurse in all pink then came in with all of these medical tools.
"Good morning Miss, my name is Nurse Rose." She introduced herself. "I will be taking care of you."
"Thanks but no thanks." I said starting to get up. Big mistake. As soon as I sat up I got a huge pang of pain in my gut. Nurse Rose then forced me to lay back down.
"Your injuries have not yet healed. You must not get up yet." She scolded.
"Yeah Misaki, you should listen to the pretty nurse." Said Matt.
'Wait. Matt? When did he get here?' I thought as i looked to where his voice was coming from. It was right next to me in the seat placed next to my bed. He was playing 'Mario Cart' on his DS
"When did you get here?" I asked him. Mimicking my thoughts.
"Me and Mello have been switching on and off all night watching you." He said, not looking up from his game. "We didn't want you to be alone. We went looking for you after you didn't come down to breakfast and ran into BB who told us that you were here. When we asked him why, he said that it was best if you told us yourself." He finished.
"T-thanks…" I trailed off.
"No Prob." He said glancing up from his game, smirking at me.
By that time, the Dr. and the Nurse had taken my vitals and left. Matt and I sat in a comfortable silence for a while until he spoke up.
"Wanna play?" He asked gesturing to his game.
"Uh… sure. But i don't have my-" I was interrupted by Matt shoving my black DS in my face.
"I thought you might want it when you woke up." He stated.
"So, you went into my room without permission, went through my drawers (where i kept my DS) and retrieved my DS?" I asked.
"Well when you put it that way…" He blushed vibrant shade of red.
"How much did you see?" I asked. A sly smirk on my face.
"Uh…Umm, I uh…well- IT WAS MELLO'S IDEA!"
"YEAH RIGHT!" I sighed. "Let's just play." I said.
"Okay."
After about an hour of playing 'Mario Cart', I had beaten Matt 9 races to 6.
"This game is fixed! Fixed I tell you!" He cried.
"No it's not! You're the one who hacked my game and made my Yoshi all trippy!" I said
"So what." He said with slight amusement. "You never did tell me why or how you ended up in the infirmary anyway. So what happened?" He asked.
I hesitated before answering.
"Well, it all started with Kyla bumping into me. Some harsh words were exchanged and then her little friends started punching me in the gut. After that, they walked away and I heard them start screaming. When I looked over to see what happened, I saw BB, and he carried me here." I explained.
Matt's had his head down so that his bangs were covering his eyes. When he finally looked up at me, he had a look in his eyes that I had never seen before.
He actually looked dangerous.
"I-I should've been there." He said through clenched teeth. "I left you alone. Defenseless."
I reached over and held his hand in mine. His expression softened, but I could tell that he was still angry.
"Matt, none of this was your fault." I said. "Kyla and her cronies are the ones to blame."
He sighed. "I know." He said. I wasn't the least bit convinced.
When he finally relaxed, he quickly noticed that our hands were still joined. His face began to turn red.
"Matt, can I ask you something?" I looked at him.
"Yeah sure." He replied.
"Do you love me?" I asked bluntly.
"What!" He asked surprised.
"You heard me. Do you?"
"In what way are we talking? Love as in a friend, or as in like, boyfriend/girlfriend love?"
"Well…" I pondered my response. "Both I guess." I finally said.
"Then both it is." He said casually.
I was so surprised. I never expected Matt to answer so easily. I thought that he would avoid the question and never really answer it.
"R-really?" I stuttered. My face turned a deep shade of red, almost as red as Matt's hair.
"Yeah. Really."
At that point our faces were so close, that they were almost touching. Another inch or so, and I would end up kissing him. As if to read my mind, he leaned in that last one inch, so that our lips crashed together. His lips felt so soft against mine. And he was a surprisingly good kisser! As our lips moved together in perfect harmony, we couldn't help but pant from the lack of air.
A few moments later, we pulled away for some precious oxygen.
"Wow." He breathed.
"Yeah wow." I said, slightly dazed.
"HA-HA! I KNEW IT! I KNEW YOU TWO WOULD END UP TOGETHER!"
Surprised, both of of us looked over to the door, which was wide open, due to Mello's intrusion. Both Matt and I had ferocious blushes on our faces.
"SH-SHUT UP MELLO!" I yelled, covering my head with the blanket that I was covered up with.
"I was just coming to tell you that the Dr. said 'visiting hours' are over, and to let Misaki sleep. But I don't think she's gonna be getting any sleep tonight!" Mello started laughing hysterically. Matt then got up, went to the door, and stood next to his best friend, and kicked him.
"Let's GO!" He shouted at Mello, who was rolling on the floor laughing (ROFL) and clutching his stomach. "See you later Misaki!" Matt called over to me, smiling.
"Yeah! Night! He-he." Mello giggled as he turned away to go out the door. But he didn't leave without winking at me first. I rolled my eyes.
After they were gone, I turned the light off in my room by clapping my hands twice, and closed my eyes. I couldn't help but think about our kiss and smiled as I slowly drifted off to sleep. That was the first night in weeks where I didn't have a nightmare.
