Chapter 7: Tidus Special Moment:
Meanwhile back at star base Beta most of the wounded crew was still coming in while the ships were on repairs at the star base's hundreds of repair docks. This star base was also orbiting near a space colony where some of the wounded was also being delivered to. Ensign Sora was on that space colony along with everyone else on the U.S.S Shooting Star. Everyone on that colony was either being treated or was relaxing till the next mission.
"So, how is she doing?" Sora asked Tidus as he stood next to the door way with cast on his shoulder.
"She's doing fine, but she will need a lot of rest before she can start walking again," Tidus answered.
The two of them were on the 15th floor room 115 of the Grant Hospital which was one of many on the space colony. Tidus had been watching over Houng ever since she was brought to the hospital for treatment. It was a sunny day outside people were walking around and talking happily while doctors and nurses cared for the wounded inside the hospital, but this sun shine was nothing more then the work of machines and engineers. Tidus was sitting in a chair, while Houng lay on the medical bed resting.
"How are you doing?" Tidus asked Sora.
"The doctor said that the sniper took off some of my shoulder bone with his shot, but other then a flesh wound and a sting I will be fine by tomorrow," Sora answered Tidus.
"Well you were lucky that he didn't shoot your head," Tidus remarked.
"Yeah I guess your right," Sora said back, while using his free right hand to rub his left shoulder.
"So, do you like her?" Sora asked Tidus.
"What?" Tidus asked as he turned red around the cheeks. "Well, I guess, I do," he finally answered.
"Huh, knew it," Sora said to Tidus unsurprised, "well tell me how it worked out when she wakes up okay?" Sora told Tidus.
"Yeah I will," Tidus said back with a small smile.
"Well I better get going to check up on the rest of the crew, to see how they are doing," Sora said to Tidus and he turned and left.
"Yeah, see you later!" Tidus yelled to Sora down the hallway.
Tidus then looked back down at Houng and him slowly finally leaned on to his back against the chair and fell asleep. It was around the simulated night fall when Houng regain consciousness and as soon as she did a nurse came in.
"Oh, you're awake, so how do you feel?" the nurse asked Houng.
"Well I feel like someone stab me in the waist, and I feel a little dizzy, but other then that I'm okay," Houng answered the nurse. Houng then looked over to Tidus as he slept and before she could ask the nurse answered her question.
"That young man had been here watching over you everyday and he seemed to always never get any sleep those days," the nurse told Houng. Then the nurse asks Houng, "Do you know him?"
"Well he is one of my crew members, and I think he was also the young man who took out the soldier who shot me," Houng answered.
"Well that is sweet, since it would seem like he is your prince in shining armor," the nurse remarked.
"What?" Houng asked in great surprise and then she went completely red in the cheeks, and then as she thought about it she answered, "I guess he is".
"Then allow me to leave you two alone," the nurse said as she left and when she closed the door Tidus woke up, to see Houng conscious.
"Oh, you're awake, so how are you doing?" Tidus asked stuttering a little.
"I'm doing fine," she answered with her cheeks still red.
"Well that's good to know," Tidus said as he started to gather his confidence.
"So?" the both of then said at once, they then both stopped.
"Look I hope you don't think I am some stalker or something just because I had been watching over you ever since you were shot," Tidus said.
"I don't," Houng answered.
"Well I am also not like some weirdo either," Tidus said.
"I don't think you are," Houng said back.
"I usually just often," but before he said anything else his eyes caught Houng's. Her eyes were as beautiful as jewels and as he looked deep into them he felt dizzy. She looked back into his eyes, looking deep within his soul and she saw what she wanted. The next thing they knew the 2 of them moved closer and closer to each other. As they got closer they closed their eyes and moved closer. They then kissed and believe it there was a spark that had enough voltage to power a house.
"Well that was out of the ordinary," Tidus said.
"Well I've only kissed guys that I thought I were the right one for me, and well I think I've found one," Houng said.
Then Tidus slowly began to feel a great sensation and the next thing he knew he blabbed it out.
"Houng would you like to go out on a date with me?" Long asked.
Houng went red, but then answered, "Yes, I would, but only after I feel like I can walk again".
"Okay then," Tidus said back and he began to relax.
Then slowly Tidus put his hand on top of Houng's and the rest of the night the 2 of them sat there talking about each other and holding hands. The next morning Tidus was asleep in the chair while Houng was asleep in the medical bed, but you could still see the two of them holding hands, and as Sora saw this as he passed by (with his shoulder now all better and the cast gone) the door to head down to breakfast, he smiled.
