Chapter 7: Awakening

***Myra's POV***

We had each taken turns watching over Kid while he was recovering so that when he woke up, he'd see a friend. Its a little after one in the afternoon about two days since we fought that group of Kishins, and I'm on my way to go see Kid. Its my turn. He was bleeding really badly when we got him to Stein, and thank Death we got him here so soon. Stein says Kid is lucky to be alive with the amount of blood he lost.

I arrived at Kid's room to switch with Soul. We high fived as he left. I sat down on the chair next to his bed and put in my earbuds. As I listened to my music, i looked over at the slumbering boy next to me. His breathing was slow and rhythmic. I wondered what went on in his head as the songs in my DeathPod changed. As the songs played on, I studied Kid's face and saw lines under his eyes as if he hadn't slept well. Perhaps He's a restless sleeper, I thought, but he was staying completely still while asleep. I stared in envy of his thin eyebrows, whereas mine a very thick and bothersome.

I heard the door open Suddenly, which made me jump from my seat. It was only Stein coming in to check on Kid.

"Hello Stein," I greeted him.

"Oh, hello Myra. Your turn I presume?" he asked me. I simply nodded in response. Stein looked at the machines Kid was hooked up to and wrote some stuff down on his clipboard. I was curious as to what it was he was writing, but I couldn't read his fast, kinda sloppy, handwriting. He checked over what he wrote twice then left the room.

"See you later," he said as he walked out. I looked back to Kid for a moment, then leaned back in my chair and closed my eyes, tapping my foot to the beat of my music. After a while, my foot slowed to a steady beat of taps on the tile floor of the anti-septic smelling room. I hate hospitals and places that are like them because of this smell, but at that moment, it calmed me and I fell into an almost sleep like state. I was aware of everything going on around me, but I couldn't quite open my eyes.

One of my earbuds fell out of my ear like it usually does and landed in my lap. I heard some rustling next to me and reluctantly opened my eyes. I looked over to the bed to see Kid trying to sit up.

"Lay back down. You still need rest," I told him with a small smile on my face, happy that my friend had woken finally. He obeyed and lie back down.

"What happened? And why on Earth am I wearing this asymmetrical hospital dress? The pattern is not perfect at all!" He asked. I giggled a little at his little fit. He still sounded half asleep.

"You lost a lot of blood, and it took Stein a while to fix up your ankle. You've been asleep for two days," I explained. "Everyone decided to take turns watching over you until you woke up, and right now its my turn."

"I-i see. But still… WHY THIS HOSPITAL DRESS?!" He's fully awake now.

"Hey, it wasn't me who chose it for you," I calmly told him. I couldn't see anything wrong with the stupid dress. All it was was a bunch of dots that were miniscule. I should have known he would take notice of anything he deemed 'imperfect'. He was about to take off the garment when he looked over at me, then stopped. I'm grateful for that, I did not want to see his junk.

"So, where's everyone else?" He asks me.

"Probably at DeathBucks or the PoisinApple store. Patti dropped Liz's cell into the sink by accident yesterday."

"I see…" Kid looked at the wall in front of him. There was a shelf with bottles on it, which Maka and Donna graciously organized symmetrically just for Kid during their shifts.

"Something wrong Kid?" I asked him noticing his somber expression. He didn't say anything. After a glance at me, he went back to blankly staring at the wall. "Kid..? Hey, you can tell me. I promise I won't say anything to anyone if you don't want me to. " I told him. He dipped his head and stared at his lap, his hair covering his eyes. Then, he surprised me by chuckling softly.

"Is this how our friendship will always be?" he asked.

"Like what?" I asked confused by his question.

"Where we each end up saving each other's lives somehow?"

"O-oh… I guess," i started laughing at this. "It'll probably be that way until one of us ends up dying of something that we can't be saved from."

"Wouldn't that be something," he said, raising his head and laughing with me. But I noticed something. He had a tear peeking out of the corner of his eye and it finally rolled down his cheek. He didn't seem to notice, so I said nothing about it.

I told him everything that happened since he blacked out. Including Donna and Soul's fight. They aren't even talking to each other right now, but I give it until tomorrow for them to make up. It was over the stupidest thing too. I don't even know what it was about. But Kid got a crack out of what they said to each other. I mean, I told him what they said, but still.

It was kinda cool just hanging out with Kid for a little bit, one on one. In a group setting he's kind of… how do I say this… overbearing. But when its just the two of us, like it is right now, he's really cool. I should call the group and tell them Kid is awake, but I'm enjoying myself right now, so I don't. It's fun just hanging out with just him, so for a few hours, we just sit there and talk about random stupid things.

***Kid's POV***

When I woke up, I was in the hospital. It took me a second to really wake up though, and sit up. A familiar voice startled me.

"Lay back down. You still need to rest," the voice said. I looked to my right and saw Myra taking out her other earbud slightly smiling, but just enough to show that single asymmetrical dimple she has. I obeyed her and lie back down.

"What happened? And why on Earth am I wearing this asymmetrical hospital dress? The pattern is not perfect at all!" I said, looking down at myself. I heard her soft chuckle.

"You lost a lot of blood, and it took Stein a while to fix up your ankle. You've been asleep for two days," she explained. "Everyone decided to take turns watching over you until you woke up, and right now its my turn."

"I-i see. But still… WHY THIS HOSPITAL DRESS?!" I protested.

"Hey, it wasn't me who chose it for you,"She told me with a calmness to her voice. I was about to take off the garment when I looked over at her, then stopped. I may hate this garment, but I don't want to be naked in front of anyone.

"So, where's everyone else?" I asked her.

"Probably at DeathBucks or the PoisinApple store. Patti dropped Liz's cell into the sink by accident yesterday."

"I see…" I started to stare at the wall in front of me, becoming captivated by the way bottles were symmetrically organized. I remembered that, a very, very long time ago, my own mother would do the same when I was sick. But she's gone now and has been for many years.

"Something wrong, Kid?" Myra asked me. I stole a glance at her and went back to staring at the wall.

"Kid..? Hey, you can tell me. I promise I won't say anything to anyone if you don't want me to. "

I looked down at my lap, my hair falling over my face, and started to laugh a little, thinking about how she saved me twice during that Kishin mob fight. "Is this how our friendship will always be?" I asked, still chuckling.

"Like what?"

" Where we each end up saving each other's lives somehow?"

"O-oh… I guess," She started laughing. "It'll probably be that way until one of us ends up dying of something that we can't be saved from."

"Wouldn't that be something," I laughed with her, raising my head. God, I thought. Her laugh sounds like...mom's… And then i felt a tear rolling down my face, but paid no mind to it. Myra started to tell me everything that happened while I was asleep. It surprised me to learn that I had been asleep for two days, but the fact that Donna and Soul had a falling out was even more surprising.

We each just talked for what seemed like hours, and it was. We laughed at stupid stuff, and said stupid stuff, and just hung out for a while. It was fun, really fun. She's always so...headstrong when we're in the group, but being just with her, she's more care-free than I realized. During these few hours, we really got to know each other more, but most of the stuff she told me I already knew from what Maka had always told us.

They may be fraternal twins, but they really couldn't be more alike if they were Identical. I found out that Myra is as big of a book worm as Maka is. They both study so hard and are always competing for being top of the class. She told me stories from her childhood with Maka and how whenever their father went out of the house, they'd play "Spies" and follow him. It must have been awful to see that their own father wasn't loyal to their mother. And thats another thing too. Myra and Maka were super close to their mom. Its amazing, really.

In return, I told some stories from my own childhood. It was happy, until the day my father said that my mom had left us. I had no idea why, especially since days before, she announced that she was pregnant. I was going to be a big brother, but… yeah.

As we continued talking, I noticed a sort of sparkle in her violet colored eyes whenever she talked about things she loved.

Eventually, we got to the part where we each tell really, horrible jokes to one another. She was in the middle of the punchline of one when, of course, Black*Star breaks down the door. He and I may have gone on a whole quest to find Excalibur, but seriously, he needs to calm down and lay off the Red Bull.

"WAKE UP KID, FOR I AM THE ALMIGHTY BLACK*STAR! JUST MY PRESENCE ALONE SHALL BE ENOUGH TO- oh you're already awake. "

Myra had her hand to her chest and was breathing quickly. Black*Star must have scared her. I don't blame her, my heart is racing as well from the surprise he gave us.

"Black*Star, you-" this is when I tuned out. She started throwing profanities out there left and right. Black*Star was antagonizing her, making the whole thing worse. The last this I heard before Stein came rushing in was, "YOU GAVE ME A FUCKING HEART ATTACK YOU SELF INDULGANT ASS HOLE!" Stein had to hold both of them back so they wouldn't destroy each other. It was a hilarious sight, so of course I was laughing my ass off.

Stein kept me in that room for another couple days, just to make sure everything was working properly. During that time, I did a lot of thinking. So when I got home, I went to Liz and Patti, because the question I had needed to be answered by them. I walked into Liz's room, where she was doing her nails and Patti was doing origami. I just flat out asked, not want to really explain.

"How should I ask out Myra?"
