Lucy's POV
Everywhere I see darkness. I looked around trying to find anything to get me out of the dark abyss. Suddenly there was a white light source appeared right in front of me and I tried going towards it. The closer I walked towards it the brighter it got.
I outstretched my hand towards the blinding light, my fingers were inches away from it. My fingers were almost touching it until I felt sudden warmth behind me. I turned and saw crimson light, warmth was radiating from it.
I took a step away from the white light and looked at the crimson light. The familiar warmth that it emits made me feel save and comforting. 'What is this familiar feeling I'm having?'
My legs started walking and took me closer to the crimson light which started to radiate brightly. When I've gotten closer to it, I felt serene and warmth comforting me. I wanted to touch the light so badly.
When my fingers made contact with it, the light sucked me into the sudden brightness of the dark abyss. My eyes were closed feeling the gentle warmth of the light wrapped around me.
Normal POV
The blond's eyes started moving with her closed lids. When she tried opening her eyes she immediately closed them, the brightness above her was blinding. She opened her tired eyes a few more times before her sight was finally focused on the white lit room.
She continued staring at the ceiling wondering what was going on. She had a sudden jolt of her memory had appeared in her mind. She tried to place her hand on her forehead but she couldn't lift it up. She looked to see that crimson locks were on the side of her bed with both hands holding onto her right hand.
She smiled down at his sleeping figure. She remembered that he came to rescue her in her time of need and followed her to the hospital. She placed her free hand on top of his silky hair and strokes it. He moaned at the touch and he started to wake up from his slumber. When he brought his head to look at her he bolted upwards and stared at her with surprised and delight.
"Lucy you're awake!" He pounced and wrapped his arms around her body, hugging her tightly. He noticed her wincing and he quickly let go of her.
"Sorry. I forgot you were still injured…" He scratched his cheek with embarrassment and held her hand instead.
She squeezed his hand showing that she didn't mind. Both of them looked at each other with smiles on their face. She glances at their hands not wanting to look into his eyes for too long, she felt butterflies crawling and heat rising to her cheeks. She felt a hand sweeping away her bangs causing to touch her cheeks making her blush more.
"I'm sorry…" He places his hand on her cheek and strokes her tenderly.
She gave a confused look. "For what?"
"For not being able to safe you earlier. If I had known they were going to kidnap and hurt you I would've stopped them before they had gotten to you…" He used his bangs to hide his eyes, not wanting her to see his sadness.
Her face softened and using her thumb to rub his hand. "Dan…it's not your fault. You didn't know what was happening and neither did I. I would've never thought that Angel would ever do something drastic."
"I had my suspicions on her but I never knew she would do that either." He sighs and stops stroking her cheek. He went to pat her head while trying to get her hair untangled.
"It still isn't your fault ok Dan? Don't beat yourself up so much." She smiled at him and closed her eyes feeling a nice sensation when he's touching her head. He heard her sigh with content and chuckled.
"Alright Lulu-chama."
She giggled, that was the Dan she knows and loves.
"By the way, how long was I asleep? It looks dark outside." She turns and looked out of the window, seeing the sky was already dark and saw the moon illuminating.
"You slept for two days straight."
Her eyes widened with shock and turn to look back at him. "Two days?"
He nodded. "Yeah you were badly beaten up and you lost a lot of blood. Good thing we got you here in time… If we didn't…" He turned his face away from her.
She tried getting out of the bed but Dan rushed forward to hold her up and helping her lend her back comfortably. She whispered thanks to him.
"I'm alive and awake now right? You don't have to worry about it anymore. I don't want to see that look on your face." She pinched and pulled his cheek.
"Ow! Ok, ok Lucy! Let go it hurts!" She laugh and let's go, he rubs his cheek in pain and grumbled about her deadly fingers.
She had a sudden realisation. "Wait, if I had slept for two days that means tonight is the Valentines Dance?"
"Yup." Her facial expression dropped.
He continued talking. "The others are at school dancing. I told them that I would stay here and look after you and they could enjoy themselves. I didn't want the others to ruin their day since the doctor did tell us that you'll wake up sooner or later."
She looked at him with concern. "I'm glad you did that but you should've gone with them as well enjoying yourself."
He replied back, "I won't be able to enjoy myself."
She arched her brow. "Why wouldn't you?"
"You aren't there with me." He gives her a teasing smile making her blush.
His facial expression changed to a serious one. "I don't care about the dance, I care about you Lucy. You're more important than anything else to me." He strokes her cheek and stared at her eyes.
Their eyes were locked to each other unable to look away. Her face became hotter.
"Lucy…" He whispered her name lovingly.
"Y-yeah…?"
A hand was brought out towards her giving her a puzzled look.
"…may I have this dance with you?"
She blinked and stared at his hand. She started giggling at his silliness.
"What are you, my prince on a white horse?"
He grinned at her.
"Maybe I am Lulu-hime." He teased her.
"You do realise that we can't dance if we aren't at the hall right?"
"It doesn't matter where we are. Today is still Valentine's Day and the dance is still on-going. We can dance where ever we want, so long as the time strikes midnight it's considered over." His hand was still staying in place waiting for her to take his hand.
She continued to giggle and took his hand slowly helping her stand on her feet. His hands wrapped around her waist, being careful not to hurt her while her hands were wrapped around his neck. They started dancing in a slow pace, dancing side by side. They held close to each other not letting go, they continued to gaze into each other's eyes like they were in a trance.
Dan slowly moved his head closer to the side her ear.
"Lucy…there's something I've been wanting to tell you for a long time…"
She leaned her head on his shoulder to hide her red face. "What is it?"
He didn't say anything for the first few minutes, he was deciding how he should tell her. He finally found his courage and told her three sweet words.
"…I love you."
She suddenly stopped dancing and lifting her head to look at his face to see if he was joking. His expression was serious and his words were sincere. Tears were brimming from her eyes, she lets go of his neck and held both of them to cover her mouth. She couldn't stop her tears from overflowing.
Dan started to panic, he didn't think her reaction would ended her crying. He was worried that he did something wrong and was about to apologize. She intervenes saying that she wasn't crying of sadness, she was crying of happiness. She tried to wipe her tears away.
"I-I'm just happy, that's all… I didn't t-think you would say that to m-me…s-since you always f-flirted with any girl…"
He wanted to interject but she covered his mouth with both of her hands.
"B-but after what you d-did… I know t-that you're feelings are t-true…"
She moved her hands to each side of his cheek and stroking them with her thumb. She leaned closer to his face as her heart beats faster.
"I love you to."
With her closed eyes, she closed the gap and her lips were on his. She felt his warm lips against hers. He hasn't made any movement, making her think that she had gone too far and was about to part her lips before he started to kiss her back. The kiss made both their minds in a dizzy spell, holding each other closer.
Both of them broke the kiss, panting for breath. They continued to stare at each other with their hearts were pounding loudly. The moonlight from the window made them look outside. It was a full moon tonight and it was shining towards the couple, as if showing it's blessings to them.
They smiled and looked back at each other. Both faces leaned closer and they kissed again, holding their bodies closer. His tongue licked her lips asking for entrance and she gladly opened them. When their tongues touched a jolt of electricity ran down their spines. Their tongues were dancing in their mouths, feeling their love for each other.
For three years they had kept their feelings bottled up, were now open and their love for each other has finally bonded them together.
