Y'all thought I'd kill him? Buahahah!
Epilogue
The steady beeps from the heart monitor was what kept her going—know that he was still alive. Her hands were clenched, her skirt bunched up in her tight grip. Her shoulders were hunched; face downcast as she sat in the rather uncomfortable hospital chair. Her whole demeanor spoke of gloom and sorrow.
It had been three days.
A nurse walked in, quiet except for the click of her heels on the floor. She checked the drip line for the IV, inserted new drugs as well. Picking up the chart, she jotted down a few shorthand notes and, casting one last look at the patient and the silent guardian of the injured, she turned on her heel and walked away.
"Heero," Relena whispered except to the sleeping occupant. The doctors said that he had been comatose until yesterday when they discerned that he was just sleeping.
Now, it was only a matter of time before he opened his eyes.
A groan interrupted her, making her look towards the bed. She saw Heero clench his arm. Then, he tried to turn over.
Sitting up, Relena removed herself from the chair and walked over to the bed. She pulled the restraints holding Heero down. He, in turn, rolled over. Fast asleep.
A smile came to her lips, making them curl upward in a heart-warming gesture. She brushed his long bangs out of his eyes.
Moving back, she pulled the chair closer to his bed, her hand in a loose grip around him. She hummed a bit to sooth both him and herself. Closing her eyes, Relena still held the smile on her face.
She would wait forever for him…
