:::Kairi's POV:::



I awoke this morning to hear that dreaded beeping noise once again. As long as I live I don't think that noise will ever stop ringing in my ears. Even if I never do have to come back to this hospital again.



I yawned. It was later than I thought it would be. Almost 11:00. My vision eventually cleared up enough were I could see everything. I then remembered today was the day I finally got to see my best friends. That was the only thing I would look forward to today because after that I would have needles being stuck in my arms all day, and various tests run. Not to forget to mention all the stupid drugs they'd give me to make me fall asleep. I've always hated hospitals. The smell of them then that was always accompanied by the gloomy environment that came along with it. There was no happiness here just grief and the feeling of death all around you. Earlier that morning I seen them put a sheet over the girl I had to share a room with for a while. She was battling cancer just like me ,but she just wasn't that lucky. The girl was probably about twelve or so and the sound of her mothers sad cries still rang in my ears. I looked over at her empty bed that now had fresh sheets that were neatly made. It was like no one had ever lied there and suffered for months and died.



I was one of the lucky ones. I had survived and hopefully it was all over. Still I wondered maybe that would be some day. Yes that would be me lying on a bed... Being waited on hand and foot not being able to do anything for hours but lie there and have nothing but a machine keeping me alive. I shuddered at the thought of this. Soon a nurse walked in.



"Kairi dear you have some visitors. Want me to let them in?" asked the nurse.



My heart began to pound as my adrenalin began to rush. I was so excited. I don't know how I ever managed to keep all those emotions in but I calmly said as if I was feeling nothing at all replied.



"Yes you may." I proclaimed.



Soon the nurse left and then they both came in. They looked so tired. Sora I knew had a fresh coffee stain on his shirt and his eyes were clearly bloodshot. Riku's silver hair was tangled and his silver locks were uneven. His eyes were also red. They both looked like they hadn't got any sleep since the day I had arrived at the hospital.



"Hey Kai." said Riku.



"Hey." I replied then I wanted to smack myself for what I had just said. The two people who mattered to me most in the world who I had longed to see for days were finally standing in my room and I had managed to say was "hey". That's were small talk will get you. I must've looked awful to them. My hair was in a mess and I had no makeup on and my eyes were red as well.



:::Riku's POV:::



She was the most beautiful creature God had given me. An angel trapped upon the Earth. Red hair draped across her shoulders and her violet eyes sparkled. Those eyes had always pierced my very soul each time I looked into them. Then I began to imagine what it would be like to open my eyes every morning and to look into those big purple orbs. Then my eyes began to wander as I began to notice all that extra skin the hospital gown had revealed and my heart beat began to pound loudly within my chest as I gazed upon her then I tried to imagine how that soft tan skin would feel against mine... Her pale red lips were shaped in the most perfect way. I wondered how those soft lips would taste and feel against my own. I began to study each delicate feature she had and my mind was own nothing but Kairi at that moment...



:::Sora's POV:::



Riku had this strange dazed look on his face. He was looking straight at Kairi then I wondered what he was thinking about. Maybe I didn't wanna know , but I can tell you one thing I couldn't stand the way he looked at her. It was almost as if he loved her. You could tell it by the look in his eyes. He loved Kairi. He had given up his own heart for her after all. I then felt a pang of jealousy sharply pierce my chest. I didn't want it to be there but I also loved Kairi and I couldn't help it. Right then if I had only one wish I would've wanted it to be for Kairi to love me. I then realized how lonely I had been without her. Without those long walks upon the beach and without those small talks about our dreams in that little paopu tree. I truly loved Kairi and in that moment I realized I couldn't live without her. She was the air I breathed... She was that mysterious sad song the sea gulls would sing. She was that beautiful sunset each afternoon. She was also my life... ,and I couldn't let Riku take such a thing from me. I would have to fight for Kairi's love. I would have to steal her heart myself... I had almost lost her heart twice and I wasn't going to ever lose it again...Especially not to Riku...



:::Kairi's POV:::



I looked at them both. The conversation had died very quickly. They both gave me strange looks. Sora's eyes were filled with determination and Riku looked like he was on cloud nine. I then wondered what they were both thinking that was keeping them both so occupied with themselves. I looked at them both and my heart had begun to beat really fast as I became very uncomfortable with the looks they both gave me as well as the unwelcome silence that filled the room. Soon Sora broke the silence.



"Hey Kairi you thirsty?" asked Sora.



"Yeah I am a little." I replied.



"Want me to go down to the lobby and get you something?" he asked.



"Yeah that will be fine... Get me a water please. It's all I'm allowed to drink right now." I exclaimed.



"Ok." he replied as he soon left the room.



When Sora left the feeling didn't get much better. In fact it got much worse. My heart had began to pound rapidly in an unsteady motion. I felt my ears become hot as I felt the blood rise within them. I soon noticed Riku walking closer to me. He etched closer to me. Soon without warning he had bent down to my level and had cupped my chin in his hands as he drew my face to his and then I felt thousands of millions of emotions collide into each other all at one time. My lips had met his. The new feelings that had been unleashed could not have been controlled or ever explained or written in words. The kiss was simple yet could never have been explained. A warmness washed over me that made me feel safe and secure.I had never knew I had felt so deeply about Riku until he had kissed me.



:::Riku's POV:::



I didn't know what I was doing. It was like a north pole magnet meeting a south pole magnet. It could never have been controlled. Feelings that had been locked up inside of me for so long had now been unleashed without warning. Something special had drawn me that close to Kairi for just a moment. Something unbreakable and special. Something that had made serious stern strong willed Riku turn into a pile of mush. Something called love.





Soon the emotional moment had ended. Darn it why did we humans have to breathe!?



Kairi with her legs curled up sat there very flustered and very beautiful yet angelic as well. Something she couldn't help being good at. I soon felt myself turn red as all those emotions turned into nothing but confusion and embarrassment.



"Well that was odd..." I exclaimed.



She flashed me one of her kairish smiles.



"I don't care it was wonderful." she exclaimed. I smiled gently at her. She patted a spot beside her. I sat down and she fell into my arms. I held her near to my chest. I then began to run my fingers through her thick red hair. She smelled of the ocean and of something nice like a rich vanilla fragrance. Must've have been the soap she used. She laid there in my arms for what seemed like an eternity breathing steadily until our beautiful moment was disturbed by a doctor. We both blushed madly as I jumped off the bed.



"I don't know what your both up to but a hospital is not for what I think it is." he replied as he eyed me sternly.



"Uh um..." I was just leaving I exclaimed nervously as I quickly left the room. I felt so humiliated. Was this what love felt like? I guess when they say love has it's moments I guess this was one of them.
