Ch 6: Healing the Wounds PTII

I pushed her into my dorm and shut the door behind us. I should ask her if she wants to borrow my bed. "Blake do you want to rest in my bed? I imagine it's much more comfortable than that hospital bed, but don't worry I'll stay on my couch. I think I am healed enough to do it," I ask.

"Sure, also Mako, can you get me some water, I'm kind of thirsty?" She asks in an innocent voice. I nod and exit the dorm to go to the bathroom where a vending machine is that contains bottled water that I pay for and take back to the room. I walked in to find Blake all snuggled up comfortably in my bed.

"Here you go Blake, it's nice and cold from the vending machine" I state. Ask her if she needs anything else, it's not every day a cute girl is trying to rest in your room Mako. "Do you need anything else?"

"No, I am fine. Thanks for asking" Blake replies. Then she looks at me and asks, "Mako, do you like me?" Shit WHAT DO I SAY? Just say you have had feeling for her that all, so yes you do like her.

"Yes I do Blake, why do you ask?"

"Good, because I like you as well. Also, one last thing Mako, I promise it's nothing crazy. Are you really going to be comfortable on that couch?" She asks pointing at the small couch that came with the dorm. "If not you can share the bed with me, I'm just really tired and don't want to know that you are attempting to sleep on that."

Say that's fine damn, don't freeze up. "Yeah, I guess I wouldn't be comfortable on that couch, so I guess I will say yes to your offer. It is my bed by the way," I say jokingly. I walk over to the edge of the bed and sit down, taking off my braces as I do so before I turn out the lights. Getting situated in the bed, I notice that Blake is shaking. "Blake, why are you shaking?" I ask in a worried tone.

"I guess I'm just in shock and all from, well you know, getting shot and recovering from it," She states.

Ask her if you holding her would make her feel better. "Do you think if I wrapped my arm around you it would comfort you a bit?" I ask in a quiet tone.

"Sure why not? And while you are doing that, I'm going to do this." She says as she takes off her bow revealing, once again, her cute little ears. She rolls over so she is now facing my face and then she plants a short kiss on my cheek., followed by one on my lips. "Thanks Mako,. Thanks for listening and caring" She then rolled back over as I wrap my arm around her and she soon falls asleep. SCORE, way to not mess it up Mako. Guess it's time I go to sleep as well. All of this goes through my mind as lay there with this cute girl in my arms. For that moment, right before I fell asleep, I felt happy, and I seemed to forget about all the loss I had recently went through. And with Blake snuggled up against my chest, I finally fell asleep. I guess you could say this was the first step to not only recovering from our wounds but also a step into Blake and I's relationship.

-The Following Morning-

I wake up the next morning to find Blake still in my arms. I yawn and look at the clock and notice that it is only 8 and it's a Saturday ,so I shrug it off and try to go back to sleep only for Blake to roll over and say, " Look who just woke up."

"Blake I thought you were still asleep," I say surprised.

"I literally just woke up, like moments before you yawned," she adds, "You kept me really warm last night." She laughs as she added, "Could you roll over Mako and grab my shirt I had to strip down to my underwear in the middle of the night because you kept me a little too warm." Holy HELL Mako, you were lucky enough to have a girl sleep next to you with just her underwear, this just keeps getting better and better. I nod, roll over,grab her shirt, and hand it to her. As she was putting it on she laughed a little and planted another kiss on my cheek.

"Well what are we going to do now? It's Saturday, and I bet my team noticed that I wasn't in our room next door last night," she asks.

"No need in keeping this a secret, we will just tell them if they ask," I state.

"You sure that will go over well?" Blake asks again.

"I can't see it not going well," I finish saying. "Let's just sit in bed a little bit longer. I wish I could be here forever," I say with a smile.

"As do I," Blake adds as I hug her a little bit tighter, she curls up a little bit closer to me. We both lay there comfortably for a few more minutes until she asks, "Mako do you have a family?"

"Yes Blake, I had a family I guess. My mom died during child birth and my dad is a Hunter, he trained me up until I was 16. Then he sent me to go work for a weapon smith that he knew. The last time I say him he told me he was going undercover for something regarding the WF. That was a year ago," I respond.

"Wow. That's an interesting answer," Blake replies, "Guess it's time we get up." She got out of the bed quickly and put on the rest of her clothes as I did the same. "Guess I'll open the door," she said. She was surprised by Yang on the other side smiling at us.

"I knew you were with him," Yang chuckled to herself. I looked over at Blake who was now blushing, too embarrassed to respond.

"Yeah she was, but does that really matter," I tell Yang. Last thing I want is attention, it's just not my thing.

"I guess it really doesn't. I mean, it's not like I haven't shared a room with a guy," Yang says in a playful voice.

"That nice to hear, I guess" I replied. "Let's go meet up with everyone else, I'm starving."

"Sounds like a plan," Blake says. And off the three of us went. For the next few weeks, everything went really well. I was passing all my classes, having fun with my new friends, and Blake and I were about to make a full recovery, but then it happened.
