Another tid-bit from one of my upcoming stories.
The Troublesome Twosome
Crow POV
I got to the hospital quite quickly despite the major collateral damage and the clean up crews that were trying to move it all. I walked through the front doors, which were somehow still working after all that wind and flying debris. I walked over to the nurse at the receptionist’s counter.
“Which way to Aki Izayoi’s room?” I asked the nurse sitting in the chair.
“Walk down this hallway,” she said pointing to my left, “and it’s the last door on the right.”
“Thank you,” I said quickly before sprinting down the hallway to Aki’s room.
I took hold of the door handle very quietly in case she’d already woken up from her coma and was sleeping. You did not want to see Aki cranky; not a happy day for her or the person who woke her up.
I opened he door slowly, peeking through the small and gradually growing crack between the door and the door frame.
I saw that a nurse was with her; curtain not drawn, stroking her head. I saw tears falling from Aki’s eyes.
“It’ll be alright sweetie, one of your friends is bound to show up at some point,” I heard her murmur to Aki’s nonmoving body.
That was my cue. I opened the door the rest of the way and walked up beside the nurse and looked up at her.
“Is she asleep?” I asked the nurse, but she simply shook her head.
“Then is she…?” I asked, forcing myself to swallow.
She shook her head again.
I looked at her, a gaze of puzzlement aimed directly at the nurse who was starting to get annoying with her stubbornness not to speak.
But what else could be keeping Aki away from regular activities? Unless…
She was still unconscious.
“Is she going to wake up soon?” I asked the nurse, half expecting her to either shake or nod her head. But this time she spoke.
“Only time will tell,” she said calmly before quietly exiting the room, closing the door behind her.
I pulled a chair over beside Aki’s bed and stared at her face, which was stained with her tears.
I’d heard the story of when Aki first went to the hospital after her loss of Divine.
Ruka had been going on and on about how cute it was that when Yusei wiped her tear away and then she woke up.
Maybe that could work again.
I unfolded my arms and took off my glove. I slowly reached out to her and wiped away her tears.
No reaction.
Maybe only Yusei could do it, or the bonds between us needed to be stronger.
Then I remembered how Ruka was saying that it would’ve been even cuter if Yusei had kissed her like in ‘Sleeping Beauty’.
I’d do it.
Anything to stare into her gorgeous earth brown eyes again.
I stood up and leaned over her. I slowly brought my lips into contact with hers only for a brief moment, and then quickly pulled away.
I sat back down in my chair again, feeling somewhat pleased with my action. I prayed that she’d wake up. She had to. Or else…I might lose her to Yusei.
Yusei was always good at getting the ladies’ attention, but never wanted anything to do with them. Then Aki came along. She changed all three of us. I fell for her, but didn’t show it, Yusei obviously had a soft spot for her and Jack blushed when she came over to the garage that one time wearing a red tube top and faded denim short shorts.
The truth was that Aki looked good in whatever she wore. Whether it have been that overly poofy, neon yellow with purple lightening bolt dress on Carly’s engagement party that she made all the girls wear, to her simple clothing such as the classic red tube top and faded denim short shorts.
Ah, Aki. Always a pleasant memory in my mind. Then I noticed that I’d let my eyes wander the room. I looked back down at her, seeing her begin to stir. She yawned, and then slowly opened her eyes. Like a newborn baby opening its eyes to the world for the first time.
