Angels

Squall sat up in his hospital bed just as Seifer walked in, cradling his little sister in strong arms.

"How is my Angel doing?" The blonde grinned, a bandage wrapped around his head.

Squall grunted, "Fine."

Ellone crawled onto the bad and positioned herself on her brother's laps, "Seifie bought flowers for you but I sat on them."

The blonde laughed, "Yeah, I had to pick all the thorns from her dress and then change it for her cuz it was wrecked."

"I gave Seifie trouble." Ellone wailed.

Squall laughed, "That's my little sister."

The blonde groaned, "No way!" He walked over and handed Squall a card, "I managed to save this though."

Squall opened a pretty card with two chibis, who slightly looked like the both of them, drawn on it. Smiling at what was written, Squall looked up, "I want to leave here, Seifer."

"Tomorrow."

Squall frowned, "I'm fine dammit."

"Squall, don't use blasphemies in front of your sister and fine my ass!"

"Hey, you just said a bad word yourself!" Squall groaned.

"You had a bullet in your navel; one in your arm…just look at that arm…it's bandaged to your damn palm. And your knee…you'll be limping for weeks." Seifer wailed, "It's all my fault."

"Shut up, freak…I don't want to stay here…I hate hospitals and doctors and nurses and everything about this place."

Ellone just stared at the card before she snatched it and checked it out, the two busy arguing about when Squall will be discharged.

"Comon, no…consider it repayment for taking Ellone under my custody."

Squall snorted, "I should have killed you when I had the chance."

Seifer laughed and sat by the brunet's hip, "Father is going to spend the rest of his life wishing you did too…behind bars."

Squall frowned, "I"

"Don't go frowning like that... Ellone is going to survive too, the doctor said so…in a few weeks she'll be as right as ray."

"Thanks."

Ellone giggled at the words, not understanding completely what they meant or symbolized.

"I'll visit tonight after Ellone's bedtime, I hired a nanny for her…and she's pretty nice so don't worry."

Squall rolled his eyes, "No problem at all."

The blonde winked and placed a quick kiss on the smiling lips. Turning to Ellone, he grinned, "Let's go princess, your brother wants to rest."

"Like hell." Squall muttered.

Seifer ignored him and stood by the door, "Ellone, comon, I'll get you ice cream on the way home. How does that sound?"

"Yay!" Ellone laughed and threw the card aside.

Squall looked at it, resting on the soft mattress of his bed. "Seifer…"

"Yes?"

"I love you…"

The blonde grinned, "See ya tonight…anything else you want on my way here?"

The brunet smiled, "No…not really."

The door shut softly behind them as his sister and lover left. Squall picked up the card and grinned, looked like his voice was better than he had thought…maybe he should always sing for that obstinate blonde…

The three words were written in Seifer's crappy writing but they held more beauty to the brunet than the best of designs…
