Have I Ever Told You I Love You?

A Numbuh 3/4 Story

Wally's POV

I was thankful that I had invited Kuki to come to eat breakfast with me right when we left the hallway. At first I had been afraid that it was going to be awkward and quiet. I must've forgotten who I was dealing with for a second. I've been in my head too long. I thought. Right when we made it into the living room she was, well, herself. There's really no other way to put it. She was bouncing around saying at least 500 words per minute. She went on and on about how much fun our last mission was (Operation C.A.K.E.-F.O.U.R.) and how much she loves cake. After maybe 5 minutes she was talking about Rainbow Monkeys. Anything she talks about eventually leads to those cruddy excuses for toys.

"Oh oh oh and yesterday I was walking by the toy store and I saw a new one! It's a combination of pink and green! The tag said its name was The Watermelon Rainbow Monkey! I want it so so so so bad!" she said, stuffing cereal in her mouth. I let my head drop on the table, as if I was annoyed with her. Which, in a sense, I was. I hate those cruddy stuffed animals with a passion. But deep down I was happy with her company. She's the only one who can make me smile when I feel on the verge of tears. "What is it, Numbuh 4?" she asked seeing my head on the table. I slowly lifted it up to look her in the eyes.

"Uh, well, I just, you know.." I said, stuttering slightly. I really wasn't in the mood to crush her dreams by speaking my true thoughts about those Rainbow dorks, so I just shook my head. "Nothing. Go on."

Her face brightened for a split second. A split second of happiness for both of us. Until I took a bite of cereal. It only took that split second to start choking. I'm not even sure how it happened. One second I was mesmerized by Kuki's smile, the next I was falling of my chair from lack of breath.

"Numbuh 4? Numbuh 4!" Kuki screamed when she realized what was wrong. She quickly got off of her chair and ran over to me. My face was red with lack of oxygen and I was struggling to breath. Kuki ran behind me and wrapped her arms around my waist. At any other time I would've been ecstatic by our close proximity, but being on the verge of death was taking up all of my thoughts. Then, like a pro, she started doing the Heimlich.

"Don't. Die. On. Me. Yet. Wallabee. Beetles. You. Can't. Leave. Me. Now." She said, with every word pushing up harder. The world started to spin around me. Black spots danced in front of my eyes as I started to loose consciousness. In the back of my thoughts I heard Kuki speaking to me. Behind that I heard some shouts from other operatives. The blacks receded a bit after, with one final shove from Kuki, the cereal shot out of my mouth. Coughing violently I fell to the floor. I couldn't move, couldn't respond. But I could see and hear everything. My eyes stared out into space as I took in what was happening.

"Wally!!" I vaguely heard Kuki scream. My name sounded foreign even to me when she said it. We hardly ever used birth names to address one another. "Wally no!! Don't leave me, Wally!!" She knelt by my side. "Wally.." she whispered. Tears were streaming down her face and my heart broke. She thinks I'm dead. I thought. I couldn't blame her. I wasn't moving and was barely breathing. I wanted to hit my head up against a wall. I hated this. I hated that I was hurting her.

"Kuki.." Numbuh 1 whispered. "Kuki, maybe you should go." his facial expression was one of sympathy and compassion, but Kuki responded in screams.

"No! I'm not leaving him! I'm not..." she said, but was interrupted when Numbuh 5 put her arm around her shoulders and led her out. "No, no no no.." she whispered the whole way out. I wanted to scream after her. Tell her that I was ok. But my own body prevented me of doing so.

My heart shattered just before unconsciousness took over me.

A/N I'm so so sorry it took so long! I've been having some "sick" issues and I've been going to the doctor and getting tests done. No fun. I haven't had much time to write and I probably won't for a while. But don't give up on me yet! The next chapter will be ultra long to make up for this one's shortness. :)
