~.~Your POV~.~
Gripping my sides tightly, I laughed hysterically. The two lumbering buffoons before me had a way of making a 'gal laugh. The duo grinned, watching as I gasped for breath, wiping the corners of my eyes.
"Shachi, Penguin! You two are too funny!"
A few more spurts of giggles past my lips as I struggled to compose myself.
"Kawaii~"
Cooed Penguin. My cheeks settled with a gentle pink, and I quickly grabbed my cover and burried my flushed face in it. Both men chuckled, when a familiar, metallic screech caught my attention.
My face twisted to watch the raven haired man stroll into the room. Clicking his tongue, he glared at the two opposing him.
"Ne, fellas, I set you the task of making sure she rested,no? At which point during my order, did I tell you to make her laugh, which may or may not trigger and asthmatic like attack?"
Penguin's eyebrows came together, confusion plastered all over his half-covered face.
"What's an asthmatic- like attack?"
I could almost see the urge to face-palm flash in his eyes. However, he instead pinched the bridge of his nose, and sighed.
"An attack which resembles that of an asthmatics."
He sighed, making me giggle. When suddenly, I dead-pan.
"Wait, why would I have an asthmatic-like attack?"
Glancing at me, his exasperated expression softens.
"There's a chance that you still have water in your lungs, any over-use or strenuous work could rile it up."
As my lips form an 'O', Law commands Shachi and Penguin to leave the room. They do so with hast, shuffling out of the room. The tall man moves to grab a stethoscope, before walking over to me. Motioning for me to sit up.
Once I have, he sits before me and placing the two ear buds in his ears.
"Lift up your shirt."
He states, immediately triggering a raging inferno across my face. I stumble over my words, causing the man to chuckle.
"I need to hear your heart, (Name)-ya."
The dark man says pointedly, lifting up the end of the stethoscope that would be placed on my chest. Turning a shade darker due to my idiocy, I timidly lift up the hem of my shirt. Not too later, I feel the cold metal on my skin,making me flinch.
He chuckles again.
"I'm going to blame the elevated heart rate on my presence."
Frowning, I glare at him.
"Confident, aren't we?"
"Yes, as a matter of fact. Very."
"Tch, you're such a dick Law-San."
He freezes. My brows raise as he slowly looks up at my face.
"Nani?"
Nothing. He just stares. It actually reminds a lot of the day Sabo found me singing... Yeah, I probably shouldn't think about that right now. Quickly averting his gaze back to the task at hand, he mutters to himself,
"Whoever said women swearing is unattractive, was wrong."
My jaw drops.
~.~With the Revolutionaries~.~
"Sabo-Kun..."
The blond hardly registered the words of his brunette friend. He could hardly hear her over the sound of his own violent sobbing.
His face was buried in his hands, tears dripping through the divisions in his fingers.
I swore it wouldn't happen again! I never wanted it to happen again! But now it has! She drowned, and I was helpless! I couldn't do anything!His mind tore itself apart, self blame being the only light visible in the fog. The horrible pain in his heart felt like it could kill him any second. It was agony.
Slipping from the chair, he sank to his knees. Doubling over, his elbows dug into his stomach. The warmth of a hand resting on his shoulder was an instantaneous response from the brunette as she kneels before him, her tears slipping down her cheeks silently.
"Sabo-Kun... Don't cry. She won't have wanted it. Besides, she might not be dead! Who knows, we could be the recipient's of a miracle!"
Miracle...
The words triggered some form of hope within him. It was a small hope, light a flickering flame, it wouldn't last long.
However, no matter how small, it was still hope.
All he could do now, was pray. Pray that they truly, could receive some sort of miracle.
