SIMPLE MOMENTS

By Rakime



Fai hardly ever got sick. He didn't know if this was because of his magic or because of his really good and strong immune system.

He couldn't even remember when the last time he fell ill was. He remembered feeling a little sick the first days he was in that well surrounded by corpses, and having a slight cold when he arrived to the extremely cold Celes Country. But that was all.

Maybe that's why he didn't pay attention to the dizziness that accompanied him since that morning on. It was till night, while he was washing the dishes, when the room suddenly started to move in circles very fast and everything got dark immediately.

When he opened his eyes, he realized he was laying on his bed, and although the room was dark, he could distinguish the figure of Kurogane next to him. Or that was what he thought he saw, he couldn't tell for sure, his head was still spinning and he didn't even know if he was truly awake.

When he opened his eyes for the second time, the sunshine was already coming through the curtains of the window. He glanced at the room and found out he was alone. He sat up and noticed that something fell down on his lap. A woolen cloth? Blurred images appeared in his mind, memories of someone staying next to him and putting cold clothes on his forehead during the night. Then he remembered that he thought he saw Kurogane.

Fai shook his head lightly, laughing at himself. There was no way that it had happened. He must be hallucinating.
