I gritted my teeth and resisted the urge to scream in anger. I was breathing heavily. I almost went for the pain killers to numb me, but I didn't have the energy to get up. This was one of the times I wished I could cry. I balled up my fist and punched the floor. My hand was bleeding. I felt like a child. Hawks knocked on the door. "Are you okay?" He asked. "I'm fine." I snapped. I took a deep breath. "Are you okay?" I asked. "It was just an accident." This response made me mad. "Don't treat me like a child." I snapped. "And what about you, huh? You've spent days here with me doing nothing but watching me. I gave you several burns and fucked up your wings, and you're still worried about me?!" I heard him lock picking the door with one of his feathers. I forgot he could do that. "Hold on." I unlocked the door myself and opened it. I looked at Keigo and saw tears streaming down his face. "You're right. I'm not okay. But the reason I'm not okay is because you're not, not because of a few burns. Nothing would make me happier than to finally be able to go out on a date with you or to post a picture of you sleeping on my chest. That's why I'm here. Because every day I get a little closer. Your roots are growing out and you can move without a pain pill. Those little victories are everything to me. So please don't push me away like this, because all it does is make both of us upset with ourselves." He put his hand on the side of my head. "And ironically, these little accidents are actually moving things along faster." "What are you talking about?" "Look in the mirror, dumbass." He said with a smirk.
