"Seig!" Yuna gasped, sitting up. I gave her a small smile, but didn't try to speak again. I also gave her hand a reassuring squeeze, to show I was alright for now.

Yuna kissed my hand and then kissed my cheek, before stroking it softly. "You scared me..." she whispered, "...I-I thought I was going to lose you too..."

I wanted so badly to tell her how sorry I was, to tell her that I had been a total idiot, and to tell her sorry again because he would be saying it over and over for a while.

But more than anything else, I wanted to tell her that I loved her. She had finally told me what she felt, and I should return it. Even if she hadn't told me how she felt, I would've told her as soon as I could..

She continued to stroke my face gently as she spoke.

"When you get out of here, I'm going to be with you every second. I'm sorry if you don't like it, seig, but I'm going to have to watch you for awhile..." She said quietly, "I can't let this happen again."

I gave a small nod and another smile to show that I understood, and that I would like it if she were with me all the time. Though, I wasn't going to try that again.

/That's what I said last time../ I thought, before quickly ridding myself of those thoughts. I needed to be thinking positive now.

"get better, alright?" Yuna said quietly, "I don't like hospitals much." She was then silent, still stroking my face.

I gave a small nod, before softly closing my eyes. I wasn't asleep, just resting, which I needed now.

Meanwhile, a teenage boy came stumbling into the E.R., blood trailing after him. After taking a few steps into the building, he collapsed, blood pouring from a wound on his back. Nurses rushed out to help him, like they did with the other patients.

He was dressed strangely, but the oddest part was the white cloak with black designs that was fastened around his neck.

It took three doctors to lift him up onto a gurney, despite his size. He was rather short, but from his face he seemed to be almost an adult. They hurried him into the back, and when I heard the rolling of the bed, I opened my eyes to look through the window.

/He doesn't look too good../ I thought, watching them run past.

"I wonder what happened to him.." Yuna said quietly, and I gave a slight shrug.

/No clue, but I'm more curious about where he got that cloak from../ I thought, before closing my eyes again. I didn't mean to fall asleep, but within a few minutes, I did. I hadn't realized how tired I was, and I didn't wake for five days.

When I softly opened my eyes, I found myself laying in the same room as before, but this time I was alone.

/They must've gone out../ I thought, moving to sit up. Surprisingly, it was rather easy.

Next, I tried to talk, and found that easy too. "Man, must've been asleep a long time.." I said quietly to myself, stepping out of bed and stretching.

A nurse stepped into the room and was shocked to see me standing, but still it only took her a minute to force me back into bed.

"You shouldn't be standing." She said, and I rolled my eyes. "Why not?" I asked.

"Because you've been asleep for five days." She replied. "That long? Doesn't that mean I'm better, now that I'm well rested?" I asked, and she shook her head.

A moment later, Yuna walked in, and the nurse quickly set down the tray of food and walked out of the room, to give us privacy.

Yuna smiled largely at me as she hurried over to the bed, taking one of my hands in both of hers.

"How are you feeling?" She asked, as I smiled back at her. "Fine, actually." I said, "We just gotta find a way to get me out of here..cause the doctors wont believe me.."

She pulled up a chair and sat, her smile never leaving. "Well Seig, they do know best..." She said, and I could hear a hint of sadness in her voice, "You were asleep for awhile, and yet nothing really has happened..."

"Glad I didn't miss anything.." I said, before reaching out my other hand and gently cupping her cheek with it. Slowly, I leaned towards her, and softly pressed my lips to hers.

I had been longing to do this for years now, and now that I finally could, it felt wonderful. Everything I went through was worth it, just for this moment.

I felt Yuna slid her hand around the back of my neck, and then deepen the kiss. After a good minute or so, I pulled back ever so slightly, so I could whisper to her.

"I love you, Yuna.."
