Chap. 5

Ky's eyes slowly opened within the darkness. It was early morning and the sun was beginning to creep into the clouds. Ky took a breath. The last thing her remembered was talking to Dizzy about the teacup she had. Then everything went black. Judging by the still-wet cloth on his forehead, he figured that he must have had a relapse of some kind. His crystalline eyes searched through the darkness briefly and then he realized that someone else was there. His caution went up to high alert as his tried to rise. But a soft object was preventing him from doing so. Focusing his eyes, he saw a shade of blue resting on him. Dizzy? The young girl was asleep with her head lying on Ky's abdomen. Ky looked at her a while before lying back down. Shutting his eyes, he didn't notice the small smile that came on him face.

Later...

"Hello Di...May?"

Ky had been reading a book that he found in the room. Although he had never read it before, it kept him occupied. At least until Dizzy arrived. But instead, he got the ship's young second-in-command.

"Hello, Ky. Were you expecting Dizzy?" she grinned

Ky didn't notice her teasing tone, "Kind of."

May sat down in a chair near the corner of the room, "So tell me. How do you feel about her?"

Ky looked at her, wondering about the strange question, but answering anyway.

"She has taken great care of me. I can never repay such kindness, but I will always be thankful to her."

"Is that all?"

"W...what do you mean?" A small shade of pink crossed his cheeks. May instantly saw it and jumped.

"I knew it! You're in love with Dizzy." she sang.

Ky face flush a bit more, "What are you talking about?"

May pointed at him and giggled, "You're blushing. I guess Dizzy's more than a nurse to you, eh?"

Ky turned his face away, "Don't make fun of me. It's not like that. Dizzy...is...my friend."

Mat put her hand on her hips, "Sure. If you really believe that, then I have nothing more to say." May began to walk toward the door, "Oh, and she'll be here as soon as your tea is done, which should be right about...now."

Right on cue, Dizzy entered the room holding the tray and cup. She smiled.

"Ah, Ky, you're awake. Hello May."

May passed Dizzy, "Hey Dizzy. I guess I'll be leaving now." She closed the door behind them and giggled some more. Oh, those two are so kawaii! Just like me and Johnny.

Ky managed to recover from May's 'attacks' and turned to look at the blue haired gear, "Hello Dizzy. How are you?"

She smiled again, "I'm supposed to ask you that."

That smile earned another blush, but Dizzy didn't notice, "Well, I feel a lot better. Nurse June says I should be well in no time."

"That good to hear." Her face reddened a bit, "I...was really worried about you."

"Really? Thank you for your concern." His face began to flush more as well. An uncomfortable silence settled over them as both of them as both looked down away from each other. Then Dizzy sat down beside him.

"Ky, tell me about angels."

Ky looked at her and blinked which was then followed up with a smile. If it was one thing Ky enjoyed was telling others about God and his works.

"Angels are servants of God.  They watch over and protect his children."

"His children?" Dizzy questioned.

"Yes. All of the people that he created on earth."

Dizzy began to look down, "I wasn't created by him. I guess I'm not included in that." she said with a hint of sadness. Ky frowned as well, but then he thought…

"There is a scripture that says God is not partial. He loves all, no matter who they are or what they are. I'm sure that includes you."

Dizzy's frown slowly faded away, "That sounds nice. What does one look like?"

"One?"

"An angel. What does one look like?"

Ky realized she was asking about her previous question, "Oh, well they are usually invisible. But a few have appeared to people. They are the most beautiful creatures to exist. They radiate with divine light and their wings carry the finest feathers."

Dizzy thought to herself, So that where he meant. He was referring to my wings.

"Why do you ask, Dizzy?

Dizzy looked at the window, "Well...in your sleep, you called out my name. And then you said angel. You also said it before, when you had a fever. I was curious about why you would call me that."

Ky blanched a bit, "Oh...well...umm...Well, you do resemble an angel. With your wings and all."

Dizzy slowly turned to him, "I see...So you do not think I am beautiful?"

Ky blanched a lot, "No, I mean yes. I mean....uughhh. What I meant was...uhhh."

Dizzy giggled at the knight's exasperated display and Ky forced himself to shut up before he went further. Great. I could lead an entire army against the horde of gears, yet I can't speak straight to one girl. Ky then looked up at the gear and suddenly felt lost in her soft pink eyes. Wow. I never knew... He suddenly blinked after realizing that his face was turning pink (again) and turned away (again). Dizzy cocked her head slightly at his behavior and smiled. She then stood up and walked toward the door.

"Ky?"

"Yes?"

"Thank you for calling me so. You're very sweet."

Ky watched her leave and suddenly felt the pang of her missing presence. I don't believe it. Is May right? Am I...falling in love with her? Falling in love with a gear?
