now I do povs again might switch back tbh.
Zhara pov.
I slowly open my eyes and find MK scrunched up next to me on his phone. Confused, I sit up and look around, trying to piece together what had happened. Wasn't I just with MK at Flower Fruit? Why am I here now?
"Zhars!" MK shouts, interrupting my thoughts as he pulls me back down into a hug. I wince in pain, feeling a sharp sensation in my chest. I try to ignore it, pushing the pain to the back of my mind.
"What's with the big hug, hm?" I strained, trying to catch my breath.
"Oh! I'm sorry. I shouldn't be hugging you like that," MK apologized, sounding upset as he pulled away. I look at him questioningly, shifting to the side of the small bed, but I'm hit with another wave of pain in my chest. I groan and pat my chest, feeling something wrapped tightly around it. Bandages? I'm then hit with memories of what I've done, I turn my head to him.
"MK, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to do all that," I said, feeling sick to my stomach.
"No, I should be sorry! I'm the one who started all that," MK said, his voice cracking as tears welled up in his eyes.
I turned to him and pulled him into a hug. "Not sure what they told you, but it wasn't your fault. Something weird happened." I paused, thinking back to the moment. "I was stuck, something so faint holding me in that spot."
MK sniffled and hugged me a little tighter. "It was the same for me...except I just couldn't stop or move. It sucked."
"Yeah, it sucked alright," I said, tilting my head to rest on his. "How long was I out?"
MK was quiet for a moment, seemingly lost in thought. "A couple of days...like 2 or 3..."
"No wonder I'm so hungry," I groaned, trying to stretch my sore muscles. "Man, going against those two is not it." Suddenly, I gasped. "Where's Sleepy?"
"In the tub," MK responded, rubbing his eyes.
I got up slowly, realizing just how bruised and sore I was all over. "Wow, you look like crap," I joked as I entered the bathroom.
"Could say the same to you," Sleepy muttered.
"Get that I just woke up, but what'd I miss?" I asked, trying to make small talk.
Sleepy sighed heavily, clearly frustrated. "Wukong left. Left on some stupid vacation while MK and I are here to deal with crap."
"Is there anymore? That doesn't seem like the only thing bothering you," I pressed
"I...fought him," Sleepy admitted.
"Argumentative...or...?" I trailed off, not wanting to believe that Sleepy had really fought Wukong.
"I literally fought him," Sleepy confirmed, a hint of anger in his voice.
I was shocked. "Are you okay? Did anyone get hurt badly? You seem alright."
"I'm fine. You should ask him. If anything, he had it coming," Sleepy said with a scoff.
I didn't feel like talking anymore, so I turned to head back to MK's bed. "Are you going back to bed?" MK asked from behind me.
I sat down slowly. "Yeah. It's still dark out and I'm tired." MK looks like he doesn't approve with it,
"What if you don't wake up for another few days again? Or worse..." MK trailed off, looking sad and worried.
I held my arms out, welcoming a hug. He doesn't hesitate to come to me for the hug, and with this I bring him down with me to lay down. "Calm down, lil man. I'm awake and alright. It's late, you're tired, and I'm tired. Let's sleep."
He tried to argue, "But aren't you hungry? Let's eat first..."
"I'd like to have my breakfast when the sun's out. Let's sleep,"
"But I'm not a little kid anymore, Zhars!" He squirms.
"Always will be my little brother, dummy." I smile my eyes closed. With that, he gives up.
