Ok, last chapter and then the epilogue :3

Disc: no not mine

There are times that walk from you like some passing afternoon ~

iIn the moment he stepped out of the room he felt like if someone was guiding him to the right path. He felt someone tugging lightly at his hand and holding it. Ike smiled and started walking to the exit.

"Ike?" he heard someone calling him; looking around he didn't see someone so he kept walking. Probably somebody wanted him to wake up.

"...that I'm here and..." there was that voice again; "Hello?" Ike asked this time but he just felt the tugging again. He knew that voice...if he could only clear up his head; but there was still some blurriness.

"...not leaving..." there it was again and this time, he could recognized it perfectly "Link?" he asked out loud "Link is that you?" but he got a different reply.

"...wake up Ike" was Link talking to his subconscious body? Looking at his hand he realized that feeling was of someone holding it; and if he heard or half heard Link's words then he was close to wake up.

"I don't know what I would do without you..." Ike felt like blushing with those words, he didn't know either what would he do without Link.

"...important you are in my life" he heard again, this time Link's voice was shaking.

"You are important too!" Ike yelled but he knew Link wouldn't hear that; just a few more steps... just a few more inches and he would be awake /i

~There are things that drift away like our endless, numbered days

Ike felt his head pulsing, but not as before. It was like the little traces left of anesthesia that he had on his body been helping him. He did feel sore and his arms and legs numb but there was something different... like if his body was giving him a good beginning. A sign to continue.

But then he heard as clear as water, as a whisper from a little kid. He felt a warm breath so close to his mouth "I wish for you to wake up" and then he felt something he had thought would never feel in his life.

It was so short yet he felt it eternal; like if all his numbness and pain was left behind with that kiss. And then he heard something he never thought would hear.

~There are sailing ships that pass all our bodies in the grass ~

"Wake up so I can tell you how much I love you"

Ike blushed, and he didn't know if Link noticed it. He was actually wishing that he didn't notice.

Just in that moment he heard the door opening and Link's gasp.

"Any news?" Marth asked.

Link shook his head. Roy and Pit looked curiously at Link's face "Link why are you blushing? Are you getting sick?" Roy asked and Marth sighed behind him.

"No, It's nothing Roy" Link answered quickly "There are no signs yet that he's waking up either" he said looking at Ike's face.

Ike could hear them perfectly; he needed to tell them that he was awake, some way to let them know he was listening to them. But he felt so tired to move and his throat was sore.

Maybe if he tried to open his eyes; but he was still scared. But it was better that than nothing.

He tried flinching his eyes a little he tried once to open them but his eyelids were so heavy. But apparently that worked.

~There are things we can't recall, blind as night that finds us all~

"Was just my imagination or Ike's eyes flinched?" Pit said, leaning to the edge or the bed. Marth turned too "Are you sure Pit?" Link looked at Ike and tried to call him "Ike?"

Ike wanted to answer so bad he tried once again to open them but they were still so heavy. He tried to talk but he didn't feel the words coming out his throat.

"You are right, he's waking up" Roy exclaimed next to Marth. They were nervous; what if Ike was really going blind? But they couldn't think that in this moment.

"Ike? Can you hear us?" Link leaned closer.

'Come on' Ike thought 'One more time' and he tried it once again.

It was so bright, and everything was blurry and confusing.

"Ike?" Roy and Pit asked in unison. Ike felt his eyelids lighter now but everything was still blurry. He tried to sit up and felt his friends helping him.

Well, he did saw the figures of his friends. But it was so confusing he didn't know what to do or what to say.

"How are you feeling?" asked Pit, Ike looked at him –or thought he looked- and then to the rest. His eyes felt suddenly dry.

There are names across the sea, only now I do believe ~

Rubbing his eyes, everything was getting clearer and defined "Hi" he managed to say with a faint smile on his face.

"Hi Ike" it was Roy's reply, now he could see the difference between Pit and Roy. They always seemed to be like twins until you get a closer look.

"Are you…" Marth started to ask him but he didn't want to finish the sentence. Ike looked at the blue mob in front of him.

"Can you see us?" Marth changed his question and Ike moved his hand in a so-so gesture. He blinked a few more times.

And with that he saw the lines, the definitions, colors and brightness different. He saw perfectly Pit's anxious eyes and Roy's constant fidgeting. He saw Marth's hands tapping the end of the bed and when he turned, he saw Link's face reflecting a lot of emotions of fear and hope. He looked down and saw that Link was still holding his hand. Smiling he responded with a light squeeze.

"Yeah" Ike turned to them "I can see you"

Marth sighed in relief as Roy and Pit cheered in joy. Ike turned his face to Link and noticed he was crying.

"Why are you crying?" Ike asked worried but Link shook his head "I'm happy that you are all right now that's all" Link didn't care of the tears of joy falling "I'm glad that you can see"

As he wiped off Link's tears Ike said "I just couldn't wait to see you" he paused and smiled "To see you once again"

~A baby sleeps in all our bones, so scared to be alone~

Epilogue

After that it was just a matter of previous examinations and exams before Ike could finally stepped out of the hospital.

He didn't deny it was an interesting experience. Scary but at the same time had its good sides. He learned to appreciate more a lot of things he never took for granted. And that walking was sometimes better.

School was over and he spent more time with his friends. Not only that but he told Link that he heard everything he said back there in the hospital.

Link blushed in any shade of red possible but Ike laughed and just when Link was about to apologize he got a kiss instead.

If Ike managed to avoid accidents? Well he keeps spacing out in the middle of the street. But now he has someone to drag him back to earth.

Sometimes with a light tug on his sleeve and sometimes with a kiss. Either one he liked it. And he didn't care about the rest.
