Dying Confession

Petra stared at the sky, the stars were out. Out here in the woods during the dead of night, it felt like you could see the entire heavens from here. It was so pretty.

"...Oh Notch she looks bad..."

"...Oh God's where is all that blood coming from?!"

"...Lukas help her! You're our medic! We'll take care of the monster..."

Somewhere in Petra's quiet peaceful serenity, something roared, shaking the trees and sending vibrations through the ground. Whatever it was, it was ruining her night watching.

"The stars are pretty," she commented.

Lukas came into her vision, looking down at her, face pale a white, "Petra! Oh Notch, Petra answer me!"

She frowned, "Lukas, you are in my line of vision. Move."

"I- don't understand you- oh Notch please!"

Why was he freaking out so bad? He had red on his face, that sorta clashed with his skin...It was on his clothes too, and his hands...

Lukas placed a set of fingers on her throat, "Petra please! Just keep breathing!"

It was then Petra felt a sharp pain in her chest, like something had pressed against her lungs, it hurt to breath, "What's going on?"

"Shhh, don't talk, you're speaking gibberish, just-just rest- of sweet blocks."

"Gibberish? I'm not speaking gibberish, Lukas, what is going-"

There is that pain again, and Lukas's hands temporarily come up, there is a fresh set of red, it's blood. She knows it's hers...

The golem! The giant one! What was it called? The Monster of the Wending Wood, that's! Lukas hadn't seen the spear, and Petra pushed him down-

Oh Notch she was dying.

Petra was now crystal clear aware of her surroundings. She could hear the golem somewhere, roaring in the woods. She could hear Jesse, and Axel, and Olivia, they were sill fighting that thing.

She had to help.

"L-lukas-" she tried to move, but her limbs wouldn't work.

"I'm here, I'm here, don't move, please!" something wet hit her face, and she manages to shift her gaze up. Her mind has become clearer, but her body is failing, it hurts to blink.

Lukas is on the verge of tears, "This is all my fault," he says shakily, he's tending her wound, Petra can see that now. Her head is on his lap. "This should be me."

"L-lukas- calm down- ugh," What sounds like English in her head is only coming out in -well gibberish- Petra can't even speak, can't even let him know she's not mad.

"I should have been paying attention, and now your hurt, and it's all my fault- Notch! Petra I am so sorry!" Lukas's voice cracks.

It's okay, she thinks, I'll be okay, Notch, don't let me die, I have to tell him I'm okay-

"I haven't even got the change to tell you," Lukas cries, "Please don't die! Just please- I can't I need-"

Tell me what? What do you have to tell me?!

"I-I- I-" Lukas cringes "I need- I need to tell you I love you," he brushes away impending tears, leaving smear of blood on his face.

Love?! Wait a second, this was not how confessions should go! Especially dying confessions, she was the one dying, she should be telling him this...cause...

If she had enough blood left in her, Petra knew she would be blushing, cause, she never told him either, that well... you know.

"Don't die! You aren't allowed to go!" Lukas demands, is he yelling at her- or to no one in particular? "I have to tell you, just Petra please! I'm going to save you just, please- keep breathing!"

Her vision is going dark. Oh sweet Notch! She's dying! She has to tell him! It takes all her strength just to open her mouth, "L-Lukas!"

His eyes go wide. He can hear her! "Petra?!"

Please, please, let it be English to him. "Mmm-love- you...too"

"W-what!"

"I...love..." her vision goes dark.

"Petra? PETRA!"

She wakes up in a pristine room, and she knows immediately where she is at. She recognizes the medical room -because unfortunately she's been her more than she'd like to admit - in the New Order of the Stone building.

She's back in Beacon Town. And -thankfully- not dead.

She sits up, her ribs screaming, "Ah shit!"

There is a crash, and Petra looks up to see Lukas sitting stunned in a chair, book on the floor, "Petra?!"

She manages to crack a smile, "Hey there Doctor, what's up?"

He gets up, racing to the bed, "You're awake!"

"Yeah, feeling good," Petra cringes as her body contradicts the statement, "You did a good job,"

"I highly doubt you feel that good," Lukas smiled softly, "That golemn did a number on you."

"What happened?" Petra pried, even though she now remembers perfectly well what happened Notch only knows how many days ago.

"I wasn't paying attention," Lukas said sadly, "You saved my life, but you got hurt really bad."

"Well I'm still here aren't I? You patched me up," she paused, leaning in, "Anything else, happen?"

He looks like he almost plans to tell her, but then,"No..." He pulled away from the bed, "We won, and I kept you from bleeding to death,"

Petra huffed inwardly.

Lukas picked his book up off the floor, "I'll get the others, they'll want to know your awake," he turned away.

"Lukas wait!"

The blond turned back around, "Yeah?"

"I heard what you said," Petra says.

"Said? What did I-" Lukas goes pale, "Oh...Oh Notch!" Now he's scarlet. "Petra I am so-"

"Don't apologize," She interrupts, she tucks a loose strand of hair behind her ear, " I wanted to tell you that I could understand you, but apparently I was talking gibberish."

Lukas walked back to the bed, "Well...you weren't too bad at the end. You know...before you passed out and gave a heart attack." he said slowly.

"I know, I'm sorry. But I was kinda," Petra smiled up at him, " I've been wanting you to say something for awhile."

"You knew this whole time!"

"No! I- liked you back - I mean," Great, now she's flustered, "That's what I was trying to tell you. I - I -"

Oblivious Lukas is now even more oblivious.

"Dammit, I gotta say it huh?" Petra turned scarlet, "Shit, I'm no good at this. Lukas! I was trying to say I loved you to-"

He leans down and kisses her.

Petra freezes for a moment, before melting into it.

Lukas pulls away, cheeks pink, "Sorry, I thought, Notch I hope you weren't aiming for sibling love."

"No, no," Petra coughs, "That was...wow."

"So does this make us a thing?" Lukas says slowly.

"There are better ways to get together, but yeah, we are a thing, if you want,"

Lukas nods, "Yeah, if you want?"

"Yeah..." Petra wiggles her eyebrow, "Wonder how the proposal will go down."

Lukas blushes, "Hopefully with less blood,"

"Hopefully,"

He leans in and kisses her again, and Petra returns the gesture, her pain all but forgotten. That golem injury was now totally worth it.

At the entry door, Jesse rolls his eyes. He was going to berate Lukas for not getting him or the others to let them know Petra was awake. But then Lukas started making out with Petra. He's going to have to tell the others, and they're going to have to find a way to act surprised. Even though it's been painfully obvious for the last year.

Dozens of failed hookup attempts, and a fricking monster spawn ended up doing it for them.

Figures.

Lukas and Petra are kissing again, he decides to let them have their moment. Jesse smiles closing the door softly and heads back down the hall.

Freaking finally. He thinks, Now I just gotta work on Axel and Olivia.

I3Lukatra Requested:

Jesse, Petra, Olivia, Axel, and Lukas are out fighting a new monster, weaker than the Witherstorm but not too weak. Then suddenly, Petra is hurt badly by this monster. Only Lukas can heal her (since...well...we're just gonna say that he was skilled in the medical arts). Lukas x Petra

Author's Section:

Emotional confessions are fun, haha. Poor Lukas we keep abusing him! Hope you like it!

Jessie is hanging out with the new boy in town. Which a crushing Lukas isn't really happy about - he liked her first. Petra doesn't seem to mind though, cause hot damn, that boy is fine. Shame that he and Jessie are already close.

Who is it? Stay tuned and find out!
