Face planted in the snow, wounded but still alive, though barely, I bring the Fallen Wrench to my ship. Bandaged her lower torso and changed her clothes to some warmer ones.
Two days later she wakes up.
"Where am I?" She says looking at the ceiling. " In my ship, you were kinda lucky I found you" I say. She blushes, then looks at her clothes, " you changed my clothes?" She says, " they were soaked from the snow...and tainted with blood" I respond to her, " then you saw me naked..." She blushingly says. I couldn't respond to her, I was to embarrassed to say yes to her on this.
"Let me guess... You fucked me while I was in coma and now I am pregnant" she says crossing her arms. " No! Why would I? I just couldn't let you die like that, alone" I say before tears begin to fall from my eyes, I try to mask it by laughing, but she knew something wasn't right. Her hand grabs mine, " Not that I care about you, but thanks for...you know... Saving me and... giving me company" she says avoiding eye contact but even more blushed.
"Anyways, I have to go..." she tries to stand up but her pain keeps her down, " You can when you recover completely, right now made you some soup." She looks at me as I give her the warm bean soup. The takes a bit into her mouth with a spoon. She smiles as the taste hits her taste buds. "You like it?" I ask, she fazes out her smile " it's okay, I had better before" she says, I smile, " glad you like it".
Days turn into weeks then months, being bed ridden for most of the time, she needed learn to walk again, using my body as support she quickly begins to recover. Always denying it, I knew she had grown fond of me, she insisted that I stayed with her until she falls asleep every night.
" I am about be free out of this four walls..." she says twirling and jumping around, I smile at her. But she could tell it was a bittersweet smile, " Thanks, I am sorry I caused any trouble." She says, " none at all" I say. " It's not... It's not that that I mean, just because I...just because I can leave doesn't mean I want to, as much as it pains me to say, I would miss you" she says extremely embarrassed with a shy body language. " I will miss you too, but I can't and shouldn't stop you, it's up to you..." I say as she comes to me.
" Say that first part again" she says, " I will miss you..." I say before she hugs me, I hug her back. She looks at my eyes, our faces inches apart, as her head approaches mine I say " don't... Think about it first" I murmur, " I thought long about this..." our lips touch, "... I just couldn't put it into words... But, I want you" she says before kissing me passionately.
