Author's note: Mrrh. Where's all the reviewers? Where's PistGurl? Well here's a chap anyway.
-Squall's POV-
Darkness. Blackness. Silence. It's warm.. in a nice way. It's dark and silent in a very comfortable way... Until now. I'm hearing unpleasant noises...
"Shht, he's awake."
That's Selphie.
"Squall? Can you hear me?"
And there's Quistis.
"Is he alright?"
Langh. She better not be close to Seifer....
"Squall? Wake up."
And finally, Seifer. I manage to open my eyes for the only one who's worthy of it.
"Hey."
"How you feeling?" he asks.
"Fine.. guess."
"Don't lie to me, you're half dead."
"What happened?"
"The Sorceress stuck a big nice stick of ice thru you. So you better rest for now."
"Did I.. die?"
He chuckles. "I don't think so. Because if you did, we all died with you."
Selphie giggles. "We're all here, Squally, we didn't die. And neither did you!"
"Good.. guess."
Seifer kneels down next to my bed. "You want me to send them outta the room?" he asks in a low voice.
"I.. I would like to sleep.. if that's okay."
"Of course, that's fine," Quistis says. "Everybody out then."
The people in the room start moving towards the door.
"That goes for you too, Seifer," Quistis says.
"No, I.. he can stay."
Quistis frowns a little. "You sure?"
I nodd.
"Alright. Send him out when he starts getting on your nerves."
Seifer smiles more or less pollitely to her and closes the door behind her, then turns to me.
"Was anyone else hurt?"
He shakes his head and sits on the bed. "Not badly. Langh and Irvine suffered some minor cuts, and everyone got their share of bruises, but nothing serious."
"Good. Am I just imagining things or is it cold in here?"
He raises an eyebrow. "You tryin' to say something there, Leonhart?"
"Like what, Almasy? Like 'get in the bed with me now'?"
"Something like that."
"Hell yeah I am. I'm freezing."
"Krr-hmm."
I snap awake from my peaceful slumber and look around. Quistis is standing by the bed with her arms crossed. When my eyes meet hers, she smiles a little.
"Hate to bother your little.. moment here, but I would like to have the whole team gathered in the lobby."
"Sure. We'll ugh.. be right there."
"Alright," she says and leaves, altho I can swear I saw a hint of amusement in her eyes. Hey, can't a guy sleep next to his best friend? Especially if he's just suffered a bad injury? Tch. People.
