At boss' request , he'd gone back to the headquarters the next day and told everyone to go back to things as normal. To act as if they hadn't seen anything and as if boss was there with them. Most of them are confused , but complied. They wanted an update on her and Gat really didn't want to cause anyone to try to take a grab at the power balance , so he had told them that she was making a quick recovery and would be back in no time. It was bullshit but It worked.
Meanwhile, Visala sat alone in the was still coming to terms with her permanently fucked up was really odd. Right now her vision filled with mostly pale colors , and a blob of purple on her lap. Crude shapes made up the furniture in the room and soon warped when her nurse came in to check up on her. She smelled nice , like sterile flowers. She used too much perfume and it was obvious she was trying too hard. Alice was her name.
"Good morning miss galvez." She spoke , her voice was nice." I'm just here to check up on you , make sure you're good." Boss nodded , before asking her a question, " Can I get up? Walk around a bit? I really need to stretch my legs." It took a bit to convince her but soon enough, visala was wandering around the floor of the hospital she was on. It was quite tricky, as she had some getting used to to not being able to see well. It was all shapes of colors ,no details , all clouded and messed up and if she tried to focus on things like signs and pictures closely… well , er head began to hurt as she tried to find her to a balcony by use of a sign. Giving up , she just went the way she felt and eventually found her way outside. THe cool mid-day air felt nice and boss felt her way to a bench. She was alone , there were no others outside. It gave her some time to relax. SHe couldn't relax in her room , too uncomfortable, too sterile. THere was too much to focus on in there but out here, out here it felt much better and VIsala could clear her mind.
Gat looked at the time as he kicked a body down some stairs. THe clock he was looking at had a bit of blood on it but he could still tell that it was getting later in the day , and if he wanted to visit boss that day , then he'd have to go soon before it got too picked up the body at the bottom of the stairs and walked to the dumpsters nearby , disposing the body into the dumpster before heading back to his car. As he walked back his mind kept drifting back to his thoughts from last night. One thing kept repeating itself… 'if you want anything to happen , then you should act soon'. Gat was a bit irritated at those thoughts. He still wasn't sure he actually WANTED to act on anything. It's not like it had been a long time since AIsha died. Even though she would have wanted him to move on , he was still racking his brain for reasons why he should wait. Maybe it was time though. It would have to be soon or… the thoughts came in of Visala with someone else , the only other person he loved as much as 'ish, with someone that wasn't him. NO , gat thought as he gripped his steering wheel tightly, he'd just then made up his mind. SPeeding off to the hospital , gat knew exactly what he was going to do. He'd tell her. Stright and to the point the exact moment he saw her blue dreds , her dark skin , her resting face of annoyance.
"Are you looking for our little troublemaker?" Gat turned to face the sound as he heard it. He'd gotten his pass and went to her room but she wasn't there when he got in saw Visala's nurse when he turned around , a woman he only knew as Alice. "Is she giving you guys trouble?" He asked , taking off his jacket. The nurse was smiling." She's just restless. Always asking to get up, move around. For someone who can't see, she can really get around well. " There was that reminder. That boss wasn't going to be able to see as well as she used to. Granted he couldn't see when he took off his glasses , it just wasn't the same as her's. On top of that there was no way she'd be able to regain her vision. "Ah , yeah." Was all gat spoke , coughing to clear the dead and awkward silence that hung between them. "Where , ah , where is she?" Alice then escorted him to where the balcony was and left him alone to talk to her himself , making sure to let him know where she'd be if he needed her. As soon as he opened the door , gat was made aware of how late it was getting. The blue sky was starting to change colors , the sunset looked lovely. Boss was seated on a bench facing the sunset, almost as if she was taking it in herself. He made sure to slowly walk over , just incase that she was relaxing. "Hey Vis" He made his presence known to her.
"Hey. Guessing they sent you after me?"Visala said, turning to where she had heard his voice come from. She could tell it was gat. Who else would be visiting her? Her brother was usually asleep since he worked late so he wouldn't have been over and so far none of the saints stopped by except for Shaundi and pierce and they already came by earlier.
"Not really, I came to visit you. On my own accord. I wanted to see how you're doing." Gat took a seat next to her and sighed , rubbing his hands together. THis was something tough he had to do. "I'm in love with you." He spoke after ten minutes of calm but uncomfortable silence. VIsala's head snapped to face him. THere was an uncertainty in her expression. SHe had no clue how to answer to this. She was happy he told her and she was trying to tell him that but the words didn't seem to want to come out. Nothing seemed to want to make sense despite the fact she had so much she needed to say to him. So many profound and amazing things that only managed to come out as. "Kiss me."
Gat was shocked and took this response as a chance to mean that she liked him as well but you could never be to sure with anyone .He hesitantly kissed Visala, brushing a few of her dreads out of her face as he did so , pulling his face away after, feeling a twinge of uncertainty that he had read the situation wrong and that his gesture was unwelcome or unwanted. Visala didn't feel the same way , it was her only way of telling him of her interest since nothing seemed to want to make sense and rather quickly after that , cupped his face with her hands and pulled him closer in for a more powerful and passionate version of their first kiss. He pushed her against the balcony wall a little too rough and when she groaned out of pain , gat pulled away.
"Guess we a bit carried away there?" He chuckled. "Yeah. But it was the good kind of carried away." Visala nodded and he could see her smile. She smiled with her whole face and in that moment he knew she was looking directly at him. Somehow everything felt right in that moment.
