Trowa leaned against the light gray walls of the hospital's waiting room with his arms folded across his chest. He was wearing a green T-shirt and brown pants. His green eyes were open and watching the four other pilots.
Heero was sitting in one of the chairs, his arms folded across his chest and his eyes closed. He was wearing his usual dark green tank top and dark shorts. Wufei was sitting next to Heero, his arms also folded across his chest, but with his eyes open and staring at the light green floor. He was wearing a blue tank top and white pants. Beside Wufei saw Duo. He was wearing a black T-shirt and blue jeans. He had one hand on Quatre's shoulder as he consoled his friend. Quatre sat in the chair next to Duo. He was wearing a light blue shirt, dark red vest, and light tan pants. His elbows rested on his knees, and his hands held his head as he stared at the floor through his fingers. He didn't seem to respond to any of Duo's words.
Trowa unfolded his arms as the other two pilots entered, along with Relena and Fayla. Fayla walked over to Duo and sat in his lap. She wrapped her arms around and hid her face in his neck as she fought the tears at the thought of her best friend laying in a coma. Duo frowned. He knew he could do nothing to ease her pain. This was the best he could do for now.
Kivi slowly walked up to Wufei. Wufei stood up and gently grabbed her elbows. He pulled her close to him and gave her a hug. Kivi wrapped her arms loosely around his neck and rested her head on his right shoulder. He felt a hot drop fall onto his shoulder. He knew this wasn't the reaction Kivi was expecting from him, but he could sense that this was something she needed the most at the moment.
Relena knew she probably wouldn't get the same kind of reaction from Heero. So instead she walked over to the chair he was sitting in and just stood beside him and put one hand on the back of his chair. She closed her eyes and fought the tears as her friends and she fought the pain. Much to her surprise, she felt a hand on hers. She opened her eyes to see the blue eyes of Heero looking back at her, eyes filled with the rare gentleness and understanding that only they shared. Tears welled up in Relena's eyes as she wrapped her arms around his neck and cried on his shoulder. Heero placed one hand on her back and the other on her shoulder as he felt the hot tears fall onto his back. At that moment Heero didn't care what the others thought. He wasn't there for her when Relena had lost her father, and the only way he could make it up to her was to be here for her now.
Yasha was the last to walk in. Trowa could tell that she had done a good job of fighting the tears on her way there; her cheeks were dry. At least, until she saw Trowa. Then the tears spilled over as she ran straight into Trowa's arms. With one arm hooked around his neck and the other resting on his shoulder, she sobbed into his chest and his green shirt soaked up all her tears. Trowa wrapped one arm around her back while his other hand smoothed out her long blonde hair. He whispered comforting words. The poor girl hadn't seen her baby sister for almost ten years before finally meeting her again. Now she was forced to endure watching her baby sister laying in a coma after she was nearly beaten to death. She had told Trowa earlier that sometimes the only thing that would keep her going would be the hope that she would see her little sister alive and happy. Now that this had happened Trowa didn't know what to expect.

A while later, things had quieted down. Fayla was still sitting on Duo's lap. Her head was resting on his shoulder as Duo kept one arm around her shoulders. Kivi was sitting on Wufei's lap. Her head was resting on his shoulder. Wufei had one hand on her waist to keep her from falling off. Kivi had eventually cried herself to sleep on Wufei's shoulders. Heero had given his seat to Relena. Heero stood next to her, one hand on her shoulder as to keep her comforted. Relena accepted it by placing one hand over his. Trowa and Yasha remained in the same position, Yasha still in Trowa's warm embrace.
The silence was broken by a male doctor that walked in. Everyone except Kivi lifted their heads. Wufei woke her up by gently kissing her on her forehead. Her eyes slowly opened to see Wufei looking down at her with a rare smile. Then she noticed the doctor standing in front of them.
The doctor had short brown hair that barely came to his ears. He was wearing a regular white coat. The look in his brown eyes was not a happy one.
