Buds of Despair

Noctis woke up and looked over at Kuro who was sleeping on the other side of Isabella. He was deep in sleep, he wanted to know what happened but he wouldn't wake him for it. Isabella poked his cheek "Noctis, thank you for taking care of me again." she smiled at him and he put his head back down blushing. They were talking in whispers so they didn't wake Kuro.

"Isabella you make me worry about you too much."

"I'm sorry I'll get stronger. Thank you for your worry though it makes me happy for some reason." because it confirms you're cared for you silly girl, he petted her hair.

"How do you feel?"

"I'm better. Healing all of that vital damage must have drained me."

"I'm sorry we had to rely on you and put you through that." she stroked his cheek with her finger since that's what she could reach with, he had his head resting on his arms looking up at her.

"I don't mind, the pain went away, if she died the pain would have lasted much longer in my heart. I always want you guys to rely on me for anything you need. I don't care how much pain I have to endure, you are my treasures if anything happened to any of you...." she was looking over at Amy now.

"We are so lucky to have Isabella, I will always treasure you too." He got up and kissed the top of her head, she smiled looking up at him. "I have to get going but call me if you need anything, I'll be back later to check on you." he left 

Kuro squeezed her hand and turned his head so he was looking at her smiling face "Good morning Kuro. Thank you for staying with me last night, waking up and seeing you made me feel much better." he smiled, wah goodness how was he so handsome first thing in the morning. He watched the red spread over her cheeks, she was so beautiful, so sweet, her voice was his favorite sound. He loved the way she said his name, always a little hitch Kur-roo.

"Good morning Isa, how are you feeling?"

"I'm much better now I was just over tired last night."

"I'm glad your feeling better, I was very worried when I found out you ended up in the hospital." he stood up stretching "Do you want something to eat, they have a good menu or I can grab you something, anything you want." he handed her the menu as she held out her hand.

"No if Kuro can stay for even just a little longer I'll order from the menu here, I don't want you to leave." she said this sheepishly while holding onto his pant leg looking up at him, his butt sat back down on the chair. Oh no she had total control over him, he thought, that look made it impossible to ever want to leave her alone.

"I'll cancel everything today but if that's the case move over this chair sucks" she scooched over giving him room to lay down in bed with her as he pulled her across his chest and closed his eyes. Noctis had told her not to let him get into bed with her but how was she supposed to let the crown prince sleep in a chair? "I can't bring myself to leave you right now anyways." he wrapped his arms around her hugging her to him and she hugged him back smiling.

"Yay" he smiled at her little yay, she was just too adorable for his heart to take.

Amy woke up she was tired, Isabella and Kuro were laying in bed together next to her. Isabella was in a hospital gown and hooked up to monitors. Why was she here too and why the hell was Kuro in her bed. "Hey!" she snapped her fingers and they both jumped a little and half woke up. She could see the half checked out look on their faces, they both look worn out. "Nevermind go back to bed" they both fell back asleep instantly, must be nice. She would drill Kuro later about why he was sneaking into Bella's bed the little playboy, not her little sister, nope.
