It felt like hours before I finally lifted my head without tears in my eyes. He gently kissed my forehead.
"Don't do that," I mumbled.
He rested his forehead against mine and closed his eyes.
"Is he nice to you?" he whispered.
"Yes," I answered closing my eyes as well.
"That's good."
Nunally's operation had finished by the time I got back to the hospital.
"The doctor said she needs a lot of rest due to how much medication she's going to be on until the pain goes away," Kallen explained as I took a seat next to Nunally's bed.
"Here," I said handing her the keys to the house. "My parents are away for the weekend so you don't have to worry about seeing them."
She smiled but it didn't reach her eyes, "I'm sorry for what happened to Nunally."
"It wasn't your fault. You tried to stop her."
I fell asleep next to the bed and when I opened my eyes the sky was dark. The nights were still cold in May so I wouldn't be going home tonight; not that I would even if the nights weren't cold.
I pulled out my phone scanning it for any calls or messages I may have missed. As expected I had a miss call from Suzaku and Kallen. I listened to Kallen's voice mail first.
"Hey C2, I just realized that you hadn't let your parents know about Nunally's incident so I rang them. They said that the trains weren't running but they'd be on the first one tomorrow. Look after yourself," and the message ended.
A hand fastened around my wrist and I looked up to see Nunally smiling at me like she hadn't just gone through hell. It pained me and I could feel tears building up once again but I blinked them back.
"Why so sad?" she whispered lifting her other hand to stroke my cheek.
"I'm not sad," she frowned slightly.
"I can't see you but I know C.C."
"Only you," I whispered laying myself down on the bed beside her.
She put her arms round me as I kissed her pale arm. Nunally stroked the back of my head.
"I'll be alright C.C, I'm not giving up yet," I smiled.
"I'll bring clean clothes for you and Nunally," Kallen said.
"Thanks," I said as I paced up and down beside the window.
"Bye," I said hanging up and turning to Nunally.
She was sat up straight with a small notepad in her hand. She was in pain; every time she moved. Even if it was just her hands she'd groan a bit, but only under her breath thinking I wouldn't hear.
"You haven't taken you medication yet," I said passing her the plastic cup which her the various painkillers and antibiotics.
"She shook her head pushing it away, " I should have my breakfast first."
"Nunally?!" I began but she interrupted.
"The doctors said its best not to consume them on a empty stomach."
"Your parents are at home," she said passing me my new clothes. "They said you can leave now. They'll be round in the afternoon and asked me to stay with Nunally until then."
"Is that alright?" I asked placing Nunally's new clothes at the foot of her bed.
"Yeah," Kallen said quickly hugging me before shooing me off.
After getting out of the hospital the first thing I did was take out my phone. I dialed Suzaku's number. I don't know why; but I felt like I should tell him that everything was alright.
"Hey Suzaku," I said as he picked up the phone.
"C2!" he exclaimed and I could practically hear him beaming on the other end of the line.
"How's Nunally?" he asked.
"She's fine," I answered. "It's going to be a lot harder for her than it was before but she's fine."
"I'm glad," he breathed.
"Anyway, I'm leaving the hospital now," I said.
"Do you want to come over?!" he asked hopefully.
"I'll be over in the evening; I'll join you and your mum for dinner. But I need to go home now," I answered.
"Okay. Bye," he said hanging up.
I slipped my phone back into my pocket and looked up.
"Was that him?" he asked.
"What are you doing here?" I asked walking past him.
"I asked you a question," he said grabbing my hand.
"It has nothing to do with you," I said pulling my hand away and walking off.
