I have to say, I never expected it, but I can't help myself anymore. I LOVE updating quickly for all of you that may be impatient and want more quickly.
I wish to thank a really great friend of mine for the help and support in everything. Clary! You're amazing! *Heart* I hope you continue being you.
For those of you who reviewed, thanks! Keep enjoying it, and I will keep writing.
When Haruhi's eyes opened, she didn't expect turning her head and seeing Hikaru in the bed beside hers. The bright white room was unnerving, but held the comforting snores of the boys. She moved her hand, though it was held down by a smaller one. It was Honey's. The small boy looked as if he had fallen asleep right beside her. She looked back over at Hikaru's bed and found Kaoru in the same position as Honey. His hand in his brother's, snoring with his head on the side of the bed. Honey shifted and brought Haruhi's attention back to him. She felt groggy from the pain medications that were in her IV, but smiled as his round eyes blinked open.
"Morning Honey-senpai." Haruhi murmured quietly with a small smile on her face. "How are you?"
"I'm fine, though you and Hika-chan worried me so! When we were leaving after a visit with you, Kaoru and Hikaru got attacked by the same people. Thing is, now we have a solid suspect so it won't be long until Kyoya's secret police find them and arrest them." He was rushing the words, almost happily, but still filled with concern. She moved her good arm and put a finger to his lips, stopping him from going on.
"Honey, I'm okay. It looks like Hika-chan is going to be okay. We're all alive and that's what matters." She whispered. "Don't be in such a hurry to explain when you know it isn't your fault these people are like that."
A tear splashed down on her arm, snaking away in a trail before Honey buried his face in the pillow beside her own.
"Haru, I was so scared. First with you, then Hika and Kaoru. Please, don't get into a situation like that again." He sniffled as he wept into the hospitals bedding. Haruhi took her hand and turned his face towards hers. They were close enough to feel each other's breath. She pulled him a little closer and connected her lips with his. Honey inhaled shortly before a small hiccup broke them apart. The tension was broken and she wiped his tears away, the two laughing a little.
"Don't worry so much, because I won't be any time soon. Not so long as you're here to protect me, Honey-senpai." Haruhi's voice had gained a little strength, though she let out a yawn.
"Haru-chan. I'm sorry I woke you. Get some sleep and I'll tell the others not to be loud, okay?" She nodded in response, grateful to how amazing her friends were before she gradually drifted to sleep, the sun filtering in through the window, lighting up her brown hair next to Honey's blond.
The peace was welcome in the small white hospital room, though often hospitals are filled with the ill, weak, injured, and dying. They also have the healing, mending, and living inside. Those who love and are loved together. Something so simple and dark, can be so lovely and white, almost like a rough-voiced crow and sorrowful-singing dove coexisting in a small corner. Life and death, yin and yang. Breathing to love. Loving to be.
It definitely seemed as if nothing more would go wrong. That Honey was finally going to be left alone.
Mild cliffy on top of a short chapter! Sorry, but I don't think it would be right to just have *BAM* action in this one. That would be overkill. *Wink*
One last thing, I was wondering about something, so I'm going to have you guys vote.
A. I should have short but many chapters.
B. Longer, but fewer chapters.
C. Stay the same.
I'd appreciate it if you just put the letter to your vote if you want to answer. This is the last update until Tuesday now, since I leave tomorrow.
Unless I'm lying and get enough reviews to hurry me along even more. ;D
