Harriet moves some hair out Striker's face with a loving smile, Blitz was holding his hand his thumb rubbing the back of his hand.

"Don't worry Blitz, he'll be fine"

She says and this makes Blitz smile slightly Striker moves and opens his eyes the green ring present making her raise an eyebrow, she and striker only had their green present in times of anger.

"I saw him"

Striker softly says with a smile and Blitz looks confused Striker chuckles lightly, Harriet was confused seeing as Striker seemed happy, his father was the only one who always had green present in his eyes all the time.

"Did he say anything?"

She asks and Striker nods.

"He said no more runnin and to be happy"

Striker says with a smile and she smiles warmly gently gripping his shoulder.

"Didn't say sorry for shooting me though, what a jackass"

Striker says chuckles making her laugh with a small tear run from her eye which she wipes and strokes his head.

"Rest sweet heart"

She says he nods and looks to Blitz with a smile before slipping back to sleep, she quickly wipes away another tear and looks to Blitz.

"You heard him"

She says making Blitz look to her she walks around the bed placing a hand on his shoulder with a smile.

"Be happy and make sure to visit on occasion"

She says Blitz nods she leaves the room leaving them alone, once the door shuts tears stream from Blitz, he leans his head over Striker's hand shaking with sobs. He couldn't believe how close he was to loosing him again he stills feeling fingers run over his head making him look up. Striker was sat up with a soft smile he wipes away his tears.

"Please don't cry it makes me feel worse"

Striker whispers and Blitz leans his cheek into Striker's hand who chuckles.

"I'm so sorry for everything, what I said to you, I didn't want you to leave, I need you in my life I can't, I can't do this without you"

Blitz bumbles over his words but the feelings were real and strong Striker leans foreward pressing their foreheads together.

"I love you too"

Striker says softly and Blitz snort laughs with a smile his tail findings Striker's and twine carefully.
