As Faye stood infront of the hospital's doors an eerie feeling swept over her body. The hairs on the back of her neck stood up. Shaking her head she headed through the doors and went up to the desk to ask for the room number again.
She headed down the hallway and as she reached the room she began to get more and more anxious. Looking through the window she saw the doctor leaning over Spike blocking her view of him.
"Faye," at the sound of Jet's voice she jumped, "are you okay?" Jet asked concerned.
"No you just scared me that's all..." Faye said as she turned to him, "Have they told you anything yet" Faye asked curiously.
"No, not yet," Jet said as he looked through the window, "They've been in there for awhile now, I hope nothing has gone wrong." Jet said as he continued to look.
Faye turned her head and looked through the window as well and watched as the doctor stood up straight and walked away from the now very aware Spike whose eyes were darting from side to side.
Right as the doctor exited Faye asked, "Is he okay"
The doctor smiled and replied, "Yes he is doing fine actually, he is just a little jittery. I'm guessing he's not so fond of hospitals. But who is really" The doctor said and chuckled to himself then noticing that no one else was laughing he coughed and said, "You may go in to see him if you like, but don't persist on asking him any questions that might strain him of any sort."
"Thank you very much." Faye said to the doctor and walked into the room.
"I do not mean to be nosey but, what is exactly going on between them two?" The doctor whisped to Jet.
"You've got me..." Jet said and huffed, "I don't even know what goes on in my own ship.." he added as he watched Faye walk over to Spike.
As Faye approached Spike she noticed that his eyes were now shut again. Slowly she took her seat and waited for Spike to say something or open his eyes. Show some sort of sign that he knew she was there.
"Hey Faye," Spike said and opened up one eye.
Faye smirked and said, "Hey lunkhead."
All Spike could do was smirk back at her, "So how do I look? Like shit I'm guessing." Spike said as he watched Faye look over his body.
"Yeah, you look like you're in pretty bad shape. But the doctors said you'd be better in no time, so you could come back to the Bebop." Faye said as she got up and walked over to the window.
Spike looked away from where Faye was standing and sighed. Faye looked over her shoulder at him and raised an eyebrow, "What would you rather stay here" She asked.
Spike nodded his head no but continued to look away from Faye.
Something wasn't right Faye thought to herself and walked back over to Spike"Spike..." he still didn't face her, "Spike look at me..." no response, "Spike!" Faye said a little louder.
Spike looked at her out of the corner of his eyes, "What?"
Faye put her hands on her hips, "What's the matter? You didn't seem very pleased when I said about going back to the Bebop." She said.
Spike merely shrugged, he, himself did not know what was wrong but something was just out of place. "Come here Faye..." Spike said barely above a whisper, he was surprised when Faye walked toward him so now she was right next to the bed with her hand on the rails.
Spike just looked up in her emerald orbs and felt something in him flutter. His heart began to beat faster and faster.
"What?" Faye asked as she stared back at Spike, "Is there something on my face?" Faye asked as she touched her cheeks.
Spike smirked, "No, nothing at all."
Faye shook her head and went back to her seat on the opposite side. Crossing her legs she contently stared at Spike, laying there helpless on the bed with all of these wires and tubes hooked up to him.
"You look pityful." Faye said and smirked.
Spike rolled his eyes, "Anyone who has tubes sticking out their nose and wrists look pretty pathetic."
Faye giggled, and how much Spike missed that laugh of hers. He hadn't noticed how long it had been since he had last heard it but it had been too long. Spike smiled to himself.
Faye watched his facial expressions change, "What are you smiling about?" Faye asked him.
"It's nothing," Spike said and shut his eyes once more.
But Faye wasn't going to stand for that answer, she persisted. "No, tell me."
Spike opened one eye, "Your laugh" he started off with, "I missed it. That's all..." he said and shut his eye.
Faye felt her cheeks get hot, she knew she was blushing and she was thankful that Spike had picked the right time to shut his eyes.
Faye brought her chair closer to Spike's bed and propped her elbows up ontop of the bed and placed her chin ontop of her hands. Spike heard the chair move and weight being put ontop of his bed.
"So...what is this like your 3rd near death experience?" Faye asked as she continued to stare at him.
Spike merely shrugged and kept his eyes closed.
Faye rolled her eyes and got up and started for the door. Spike's eyes shot open and propped himself up on an elbow, "Where are you going?" Spike asked.
Faye's hand was on the door handle when she turned her head to the side and smiled, "Going to get something to eat, you want anything?"
"No...I'm fine." Spike said as he settled himself back into his bed.
"I'll be back in no time," Faye said as she walked out of the room.
Spike sighed, he didn't know what had came over him in that moment. He knew him and Faye had something but he didn't think he relied on her as much as he thought.
Rolling over onto his side he looked out the window; staring at the blue sky. He could somewhat see the glistening of the sun from where he was. So many thoughts were running through his mind now. He wondered if any other people like Sylvia were out there, looking for him. Trying to endanger the people he cared about the most as revenge.
Suddenly he felt a wave of tiredness sweep over him as he shut his eyes he said one last thing, "I know what I have to do..." and with that he was asleep.
