I stirred awake and immediately noticed the absence of my heater. I groggily rubbed the tiredness out of my eyes and tried to get up completely forgetting about my injuries, when I tried to get up sharp pains coursed through my left side. I layed back and waited for the pain to pass, a few gasping breaths later the pain toned down a bit I started to remember last nights events and a large blush started to form across my cheeks.
I can't believe that I asked Yang to sleep in my bed... Where is Yang? Maybe she left the moment I fell asleep because she was uncomfortable. Blake you dumbass of course she was just being nice. I was stupid to think of the possibility of her likening me.
My inner rambling was cut short by my father walking into the room. "Good Morning sweetheart. How'd you sleep?"
"I slept well Daddy." I gave him a small smile and he returned it with a beaming smile.
He gently sat on my bed and said "Guess what sweetie."
"What?"
"I talked to the doctors and they said you can go home and finish recovering at home starting next week. Isn't that great news?" He said happily. "Do you need something? A computer? Some books? Have you eaten?"
Oh no not this again he gets like this every time there's an attack it doesn't matter if I get injured or not.
"No I don't need anything and I haven't eaten since I just woke up not too long ago."
"Okay sweetie are you sure you-" he was cut off by his cell phone ringing and he instantly answered it. "Belladonna." His tone changed from gentle and caring too cold and hard in an instant. "I'll be right there." He said as he hung up on the person. He went back to his gentle tone "I need to go take care of some business I'll be back soon." He leaned forward to give me a kiss on my forehead head and brush some hair out of my face. "Yang's going to come over soon to take care of you and keep you company while I'm gone. Bye sweetheart, love you." With that he got up off the bed and started to walk towards the door.
"Love you" I said before he got to the door and he turned back to me and smiled before leaving alone in the cold room.
I tried to incline my bed so that I was in a sitting position and not laying back, but it proved to be a difficult task considering I couldn't use much strength. After an unknown amount of time I gave up on it and decided to go back to sleep. I relaxed into my bed and closed my eyes, a few moments later I had just started to drift off when I heard someone enter my room. I opened my eyes ever so slightly to see who had entered but not alert them of my consciousness. I was only able to see a lot of blonde hair and then the mystery person spoke "Blake?" I stayed still and kept my breathing even to see if Yang would go away. Not a five seconds later another person walked into the room.
Why are so many people visiting me? I just want to go back to sleep.
"Connor? What are you doing here?" Asked Yang.
"Top of the mornin' Yang I'm just here ta drop off these flowers for Blake since I heard that she had woken up from her coma." I heard him walk around my bed and place the flowers with the others.
They stood in awkward silence for a few moments before Connor broke it. "So are you and Blake together?"
I forced the blush starting to form on my cheeks down to maintain the illusion of sleep. "W-what? No"I heard Yang stutter.
"Really?!" I could practically see Connor's goofy lopsided grin starting to form. "You looked so close I thought for sure there was something between you two... This means I still have a chance." He said the last past in a barely audible whisper but I was sure Yang had heard it.
"Wait a moment just because we're not together doesn't mean you have a better chance than I do."
Than I do?! She has feeling for me?! No Blake you probably heard her wrong... I hope Connor doesn't ask me out again it was difficult to turn him down last time. With those big blue puppy dog eyes he was giving me I almost said yes just to get him to stop.
"Well why bloody not? I've known Blake as long as I can remember and we almost grew up together after I came here from Ireland."
I could feel the tension in the room rise and I had a feeling they were about to break out into a fight. To break the tension I did the only thing that I could think to do at the time, I yawned and pretended to wake up. "Oh morning Yang, morning Connor."
"Top of the mornin' to ya Blake you're lookin' very beautiful today." Said Connor with a wink.
"Good morning Blake." Said Yang with a forced smile and clenched fists. I could have sworn I had seen her eyes flash red for a few moment before changing back to it's warm lilac coloring.
"So how long have you been here?" I said sleepily.
"Oh not very long we just passed the time talking waiting for you to wake up." Said Yang visibly calming herself down slowly.
"About?" I asked pretending I hadn't heard their conversation.
"Nothing important." Responded Connor.
I nodded and Connor said "Um Blake can I speak to you." He looked at Yang with a glare. "Alone?"
"Sure, Yang could you give us a minute alone?" Yang seemed to hesitate, but began to leave the room without a word. I tuned back to Connor and said "What did you want to talk about?"
"Um well um well" he ran a hand threw his short dirty blonde hair and huffed.
"Come on Connor we don't have all day." I didn't want to rush him but I had a feeling I already knew what he was going to ask.
He mumbled "Iwaswonderin'ifyouwantedtagoonadatewithmesometime."
"Sorry I didn't catch that."
He sighed and said "Oh um well I was wonderin' if ya wanted ta go on a date with me sometime." A small blush crept onto his cheeks and he scratched the back of his head.
"Connor it's sweet of you to ask but you're one of my closest friends and it's not just that, I have my eye on someone else."
"Oh" he said with disappointment clear in his voice. He shuffled back and forth as the awkward silence started to grow. "Can I ask who it is?"
I gave him a small smile. "Maybe I'll tell you some day."
"Alright... So I guess we're staying friends then?" A small amount of hope crept into his voice.
"Yes we can still be friends." My smile fell a bit and I continued "I'm sorry for shooting you down again Connor."
"It's okay Blake I knew it was long shot." He gave me a small smile and walked over to me to give me a light hug, careful not to hurt my damaged ribs. "I'll see you later. Yer dad said I was going to be yer driver till ya fully healed, so I guess I'll be seein' ya sometime next week." With that he left without turning back. Yang came back a few minutes later with a large grin on her face.
"What are you so happy about?" I asked.
"What? I can't be happy?"
I shook my head and couldn't resist reciprocating the smile."But your suspiciously happy considering it looked like your wanted to knock someone's teeth out when I asked you to leave so that I could talk with Connor."
"It's nothing." She assured me and sat down on the edge of my bed before continuing "Anyway sorry I had to leave before you woke up. I didn't want your dad getting the wrong idea."
"It's okay Yang."
We spent the rest of the morning talking and making jokes at one point Yang pulled out a deck of cards and we started betting prices of candy my father had brought over yesterday. After I cleaned Yang out from not letting her win one game (mostly through a lot of sleight of hand), my father came back and reluctantly joined in the card game and it turned into a game of who could cheat the best without getting caught. Naturally Yang was the worst at the game and I ended up with even more candy. When night eventually fell I convinced my father to go home and I ended up with Yang in my bed again.
I nuzzled into Yang and said "Good night Yang."
"Good night Kitty." I smiled a bit and let the nickname go.
I really want to tell her how I feel because I know she feels the same way, but I don't want to get her sucked into the mob and all of these attacks... Maybe I should get her fired to keep her safe.
The thought of Yang leaving brought tears to my eyes and I couldn't resist sniffing a bit. Yang immediately noticed I was crying and said "Blake? What's wrong?"
"It's nothing Yang just got to sleep." My voice cracked and I sniffled some more.
"Come on Blake you can tell me." Yang gently started petting my hair and held me against her.
"I don't want to talk about it right now can we please go to sleep?"
"Okay, I'll be here when you want to talk about it." She gently hugged me closer and I felt her press a kiss into my hair.
I wish, but you're going to be leaving soon.
I stayed quiet and closed my eyes to go to sleep trying to burn the feeling of Yang's warmth and the feeling of her arms wrapped around me into my memory.
