I opened my eyes as the sun poured into the room. I shifted with a groan in agitation, wanting to go back to sleep, when I realized I was no longer at the desk. I sat up and looked around in confusion making something fall off in the process. When I looked down at it I found Seven's jacket laying comfortably in my lap. Had he . . . had he done this?
I quickly glanced around for him, only to find him asleep beside the couch. The peaceful look on his face made me smile. To think that he still put me first before himself was enough to warm my heart. I laid back down and reached for him. My fingers gently brushed against his cheek and brushed back his hair. Though I wanted to stay there and do that forever I forced myself to withdraw and stand. From there I just the curtains to block out the sun. The room grew dark again and I glanced back at him. He laid there, still fast asleep.
Laying his jacket back down on him I dared to reach forward. My hand slipped under his head and lifted it up as softly as I could. With a shaky hand I carefully slipped his glasses off before resting his head back on the pillow. I folded them and placed them on the couch above him so he could see them once he woke up. With them off I could see the bags that had begun to form under his eyes. I would let him sleep as long as he wanted to. He deserved it. No, he needed it.
From there I returned to sitting at my spot on the table and glared down at my homework I had yet to finish. With a sigh I plugged in my headphones and started to work.

I sat up, running my hand through my hair. I squinted in hopes to see better with my blurred vision. There on the couch I spotted the yellow blob of my glasses. Somehow I managed to put them on. Once I could see I instantly looked for Hyuna. My heart leaped at the sight of her gone. I whipped my head around only to find her sitting at the table. A sense of anger and relief mixed together. Relief she was fine and anger that I had gotten so worried.
I stood and began to make my way over to my computer. It was already the afternoon!
" You're awake." She started as she pulled her headphones back. " Sleep well?"
I hurt my heart to see her smile. Simply because I knew what I was about to say would make it disappear.
" How can you stay so calm? Ever since I showed up you've been talking to me, aren't you scared there's a bomb here?"
I saw her pause and bite the inside of her lip. She knew exactly what I was talking about. The moment that it slipped that the security system was a bomb everyone's opinions on the matter changed.
" I'm not scared if you're here with me."
" It's good that you're not anxious but please be more aware of the situation. Aren't you suppose angry with me? I'm so angry at myself, why aren't you mad at me?"
" If it weren't for you then I would have been kidnapped."
I groaned in frustration. " I wish none of this happened. That bomb, you joining the organization." My voice faded out. " I'm going to do what I can now. So you do what you can too. Just stay still and safe. I'm going to put my headphones on and work now. So don't bother me."
Out of the corner of my eyes I saw her shoulders fall slightly at my words.
" Seven, why the headphones? Why are you avoiding me?" She asked softly. I hesitated then I reached for my headphones.
" Requesting satellite . . . code is G2XO."

I waited patiently for the elevator, the grocery bag growing heavy in my hands. I had to step away. After what Seven said I couldn't think straight. To the point where I'd look at my homework and would be stuck on a problem for the longest time. One that I should have been able to get easily. Still, I couldn't help but worry for him. After my call with Zen I realized he had been right. He had told me Seven was most likely a man who push away simply because they wouldn't admit they were in love or because they thought they were protecting everyone. I didn't know what to do. I didn't even know how to feel.
My phone rang in my coat pocket. As soon as I answered the person on the other line rushed to speak.
" Are you okay? Where did you go on your on? You were so quiet I thought you were asleep, I had to check to see that you left. I can't believe I hadn't noticed. What if something had happened?"
" I tried to get your attention but you didn't answer. Plus I didn't want to break your concentration." I responded. Damn this elevator was taking forever.
" If you were frustrated staying inside you should have taken my headphones off and made me listen . . . Are you mad that I was ignoring you? Someone could have been waiting outside to kidnap you."
" Seven-" I interrupted, " I'm okay."
I heard him take a deep breath.
" Where are you now?"
" I'm waiting for the elevator."
" Why did you leave?"
I tightened my grip on the bag and took a shaky breath. " I went to get you some Honey Buddha Chips but the store didn't have any."
" You don't need to worry about me. I told you to just leave me alone to work, why didn't you listen."
The door finally opened and I stepped inside. Because I love you. The words sat on my lips but I couldn't bring myself to say them. I was too much of a coward to.
" Because I'm stubborn." I joked.
" Hurry back inside. If you're hungry there's a sandwich in the fridge. I made it but I can't vouch for the taste, it'll fill you up."
I felt my heart flutter slightly.
" Seven," I paused slightly. " Did you make it for me?"
" No, I just made too many. I didn't have the time to care about how it looks so it's sloppy. There's tuna, ham and egg so pick what you want." Then he quickly added," I just really wanted all three sandwiches but couldn't eat them all. So don't take it the wrong way. I can't focus until you're back so . . . please hurry."
I smiled weakly to myself.
" I will."
Then I hung up. He had told me not to take it the wrong way but there was still a childish side of me that couldn't help but hope he was just too shy to admit.
Thank you for the reviews and follows. I hope you are enjoying it ^.^ As far as they characters and stuff I am basing Seven and part of my character off of how they are in the game but I'm adding my own characteristics to Hyuna. I hope that clears some things up. You may even recognize some of the conversations ^.^ Anyways, I hope you enjoy it. I'll have more out soon! Love you all
