I sighed, Sven still didn't answer me. Then I noticed something, he was still breathing! Thank God! The shallow rise and fall of his chest was the only hope I had. It was a pretty bad blow to the head. What if he woke up and didn't remember me? What would I do? I don't know. There's a chance it could happen, though. Sven wasn't wearing his blue top hat, it sat next to his head. I picked up the top hat gently and just held it close to me, this could have been the last way I interacted with Sven.
"I'm sure he'll be okay, Burt." I heard a British-Australian voice behind me. I turned. It was the Right hand man. "We can give him cybernetic enhancements if we have to." He told me. I glanced back at Sven. "I hope he doesn't need it." I answered. "Me too. He's a good member of the Toppat Clan. I don't want him to end up like me." The Right hand man was a cyborg, half of his face had been replaced, his right arm, and both of his legs had been replaced, too. And it was the chief's doing, back when he infiltrated the airship. It didn't matter, the chief was a good leader, by all means. He risked himself to let Ellie and the Right hand man get into the rocket when it launched, I believe that's why Reginald didn't drop him to his death when he got back up to the rocket. The Right hand man left the medbay, I wasn't looking, but I could tell he left because the door hissed shut. I was desperate for Sven to stay alive. "You waiting for him to wake up?" I heard another voice, but this one was feminine. It was Ellie. "I hope he wakes up soon as much as you do." She told me.
No! No you don't! You have no idea how much he means to me! I wanted to cry out, but I kept quiet. "Not in the mood to talk? Okay..." Ellie's voice trailed off. I felt a tear roll down my face. No, I didn't want to talk. I'm pretty sure Ellie had damaged her shoulder somehow in the raid, the chief was asleep, however, they all had their fair share of cuts and bruises. I heard something.
"Burt..?"
It was Sven's voice.
"Sven! Your awake!" I was so relieved. Sven's eyes widened. "Burt, were you... crying?" I was silent for a moment, then sighed. "Yeah, I was." I admit. Sven looked at me sympathetically. "My head hurts..." Sven mumbled. "You'll be okay, Sven. Just rest for awhile." I nodded. He glanced back at me. "Can I have it back..?" He said. I remembered, I was holding Sven's top hat. "Of course you can!" I said, giving the top hat back to Sven. Sven lifted his hand to take it, his hand shook a bit as he slowly put the top hat down. "Sven, your shaking..." I said, starting to worry even more. "Ah, I'm sorry just... Er.. Herregud jag har så mycket ont just nu ber jag om ursäkt..." He told me. "Burt, I'm sorry, English wasn't my first language..." Sven sighed. "It's okay." I reassured him. He looked back up at the ceiling and slowly blinked once. "Jag är ledsen att jag inte visste att det skulle hamna så här..." He said with sympathy in his voice. "Sven, you shouldn't feel bad for me." I tried to convince him. "You're the one who's hurt."
"I didn't mean to worry you..." Sven sort of translated what he had said. "I just got carried away..." He shook his head. "Heh." He then smiled. "What a dumb excuse."
I was still concerned. "I just don't want you to get hurt.." I started to tear up again. "Burt," Sven looked at me. "var inte ledsen! Jag är okej och jag är också här för dig!" He must've known that I liked it when he spoke Swedish, even though I don't fully understand it. My vision started to blur and a shook my head a little. I sighed. "I just hope your okay." I muttered quietly under my breath, my voice sounded kind of broken and sad. Oh well. "I'm... Jag blir yr..." Sven said, looking as if he were about to close his eyes again. He shook his head. "It's hard to keep myself from passing out again..." Sven quietly told me. "It's okay, you can rest. You need it." I nodded to him. Sven cracked a small smile at me. "Thanks, Burt..."
I nearly sighed in relief. "But I want to say something.." He said shortly before grabbing my hand. My eyes widened. "Thank you..." He whispered. "for being there for me when I needed it..."
I blinked and smiled a bit. "No problem." I answered, and gave him a short nod. I felt the grip Sven had on my hand loosen. He closed his eyes. "Burt, how is-" I heard. I glanced over, it was Reginald again. "Oh! Is now a bad time?" He asked. "No, you're fine. What do you need?" I told him. "Are you and Sven okay?" Reginald asked me. "Yeah, we're okay." I nodded. "Good." Reginald said. "I'll leave you be now." I heard the door close as he left the room. I looked back at Sven, who was asleep now. I was mostly relieved now, I was not so stressed now. "Now that's cute." I heard a very familiar feminine voice behind me. It was Ellie again, she had seen the whole thing. I was embarrassed, I felt my face turn a little red. "I didn't know you two liked eachother!" Ellie nearly taunted me. "Shut up..!" I muttered, just loud enough for Ellie to hear. "Woah, okay." She replied. I was a little surprised, I expected her to snap back at me, but she didn't. Oh well, I didn't want to argue right now. Sven was okay, and lightly holding my hand. As long as he was okay, I was okay too.
