(Ty's POV)
I feel myself being lifted, but want to protest against it. The only thing holding me back is the excruciating pain running through my body.
"Skye..." I manage to croak out, concerned for my sister's well being. I hear gasping around me and a soft, silky surface beneath me. Was I in bed? In the infirmary? If I'm here, where's Skye?
"Ty?" A familiar voice mutters, which I immediately recognize as Adam's, and I begin to pry my eyes open.
"What... What happened?" I breathe out, seeing Tyler and Jason, who are sitting to my left, exchange worried glances. "Where's Skye?"
"Ty, I'm right here." Adam responds. "But that's not important-"
"No, I mean my sister. The girl I was with."
Adam looks behind him to another bed to my right and I follow his gaze, seeing Skye unconscious on the bed, her leg covered with a thick wool bandage which is soaked in blood.
"If Tyler and Jason didn't find you when they did," Adam explained, looking back at me, "you would've died. Both of you." I look to Tyler and Jason, nodding gratefully.
"Thanks guys." I say, my voice barely a mutter. "I owe you big time." Tyler nods and Jason smiles, both most likely thankful for my survival. I attempt to sit up, but an aching pain runs through my back, forcing me to lay back down. I sigh, resting my head against the pillow as I remember everything; the TNT, the house going up in flames.
"Just to lighten the mood," Jason breaks the silence, making us all look at him, "your sister's pretty hot." I shoot him a look as if to say, "What the hell?" Jason, seeing the look in my eyes, holds his hands up in defense. "Hey, I'm not the only one thinking it." He looks at Adam and winks. My gaze darts to Adam, who blushes immediately and stands, turning and sitting at my sister's bedside.
"Told ya." Jason mutters, aggravating Adam a bit. I successfully sit up, leaning against my pillow, and turn my attention to my sister.
"How'd you find us?"
"We saw smoke from the castle and, knowing you were coming out there, Jason and I ran out." Tyler explains, being the first time he's spoken since I woke up.
"You were bloodied up pretty bad." Adam adds, holding Skye's hand and looking at her worryingly.
"Adam," I put a hand on his back, "are you okay?"
"What?" He looks back at me, snapping out of his daze. "Yeah, I just... spaced out... for a minute. I'm okay." He turns back to Skye, staring at her again. I exchange glances with Jason and Tyler, both of them smirking; we all know what's going on.
"Ooh," We chorus together, "somebody's in love!"
"Shut up, guys." came Adam's retort. "I'm not in love. Just... concerned."
"Sure..." I say, rolling my eyes playfully. I laugh along with Tyler and Jason as Adam looks back us over his shoulder.
"You guys are so immature." He states, blushing more.
"That's our job, Adam." Tyler replies, laughing still. A soft moaning grabs all of our attentions and our gazes drift to Skye, whose head rolls to the side as she moans softly again.
"T-Ty..." she mutters, twitching. In concern for her, I push myself out of bed and kneel by her bedside next to Adam, taking her hand from him. "Ty..."
"Skye, it's okay. I'm right here." I coo, rubbing her hand. She may be older than me, but I'm still her brother. She turns her head toward me, her eyes still closed.
"Ty..." she mutters again, trying to force her eyes open. I stroke her cheek with my thumb.
"You need rest." I coo again, kissing her forehead. "Sleep." She smiles softly, relaxing, and squeezes my hand. I brush a bit of hair out of her face and kiss her forehead again.
"Ty," Seto's voice makes my head snap to where he's standing, "You should be in bed." He smiles, seeing us all crowded around Skye. I sigh, looking at Skye again, and crawl into my bed. "Adam, Tyler, Jason; I suggest you three head to bed. It's late." Adam, Tyler, and Jason stand, leaving the room and giving Skye and me a last glance for the night. I wave to them as they head out the door, them returning the gesture. I lay back down, closing my eyes as the lights fade.
