✨️~ Aftermath ~✨️

Start from the beginning
                                        

''What, are you on your period?'' The brown haired person quizzes, tilting their head.

''Wh- No, Master Wu gave me some tea to treat my wounds faster, and it is hurting so much.'' I groan, clenching my stomach.

''And why is there a trashcan right next to your bed?'' They ask.

''In case i throw up. It's just another symptom.'' I respond, shrugging.

They shake their head quickly.

''Yeah.. Anyway, i don't want to be there in case you actually throw up, but i just wanted to say that your lover boy is back and he wants to see you. You got quite a clingy boyfriend.'' They inform me.

''Mhm, i don't mind. I actually find it pretty cute, but yeah, anyway, he can come in.'' I retort.

They roll their eyes and peek their head outside of my room.

''Hey, Mr. Muscles! Your so precious girlfriend said you could come in.'' Raven shouts.

I blink twice before giving them a 'really?' Look.

''Yeah and uhh..'' They rub the back of their neck. ''I have to leave now.. For working tasks you know?''

''You're leaving so soon? What about your ribs?'' I question, slightly getting up.

''Yup, and don't worry, i almost don't feel any pain anymore.'' They answer, standing back up. They head out of my room, looking over their shoulder.

''Goodbye Moki, in hopes of hanging out soon.'' They say before walking away.

''Bye Raven.'' I say my goodbyes to them before leaning back on my bed.

My back is now pressed against the soft blanket of my bed. I sigh in boredom. I turn my head towards my door as i hear footsteps coming closer.

I see Cole peeking his head out. He walks into my room, and he doesn't have his gi on. He just has a plain black T-shirt and some grey baggy pants.

The raven black haired guy sits on the edge of the bed, a little bit in front of my legs.

''Are you okay? I talked with Sensei Wu, and he said he gave you some special tea.'' He tells me.

''I'm going to be just fine. It's just the effects of the tea. And by the way, why are you dressed like that? I thought you were in the city to help and rebuild it.'' I ask.

''Yeah but i wanted to see you and help you, especially in your situation at the moment..'' He replies.

''That's cute.'' I chuckle, sitting up.

He positions himself next to me. He extends his arms for me to snuggle onto him.

I move myself between his legs as i wrap my arms around his waist and rest my head on his stomach.

He starts to stroke my hair gently. My mind wanders off as i can concentrate  on only one and only thing.

''Soo... About that date.'' I start off.

He stops playing with my hair. I feel his eyes on me.

''Mhm? What about it?'' He questions.

''When were you planning to take me out?'' I ask in a small teasing voice.

He lets out a soft chuckle before continuing to stroke my hair.

''Like i said, when all of this will be over.. But you're not in the best condition to go out.'' He answers, shrugging.

I snuggle closer to him. His warmth makes the stinging less painful.

''We'll wait until your injuries heal and after i promise to take you on a date. Now, maybe it's best you get some rest.'' He tells me.

I nod slightly.

''Yeah, will you also rest with me?'' I ask, tilting my head up.

''I'll be glad to.'' He responds, smiling at me.

I return happily the smile. I close my eyes as my mind is almost at peace.

He continues to play with my hair. I feel myself slowly drifting off to sleep.

I open my mouth once again, wanting to say some words who were bugging me for such a long time.

'

'I love you.'' I mutter, my tone is low and soft.

I feel his body tense up for a second, but he quickly relaxes.

B

efore i can fall asleep, i hear his sweet voice mumble something.

''I love you too.''
