Also, I should probably mention that in this one, you are extremely close, if not the same age as Welt. Anyhow, hope you enjoy!

You and Welt have been traveling with the Astral Express for as long as you can remember. The two of you have been through thick and thin together, and you wouldn't have it any other way. 

It was a normal day, for a trailblazer at least, and you were playing chess with Himeko in the Parlor Car of the express. "And.... Checkmate!" you exclaimed, as you won the match. "Very well, though it's no surprise that you won since you practically live with the chess board." Himeko said, after her defeat. "Ha. Ha. Very funny, do you want a cup of coffee?" You asked, to which Himeko replied, "Is that even a question, of course!"

As you began making the brew, you got a message from Welt. "We could use some backup," along with his current location. Now you started getting worried. You were the "healer" of the express, and since Himeko didn't come rushing into the room you were in, you assume that you were the only one who got the message.  You just hoped that no one was too injured. You grabbed a bag with some medicine, and your weapon, told Himeko and Pom-Pom where you were headed and left.

Once you arrived at the scene, things weren't looking too great. March 7th was on the ground, Dan Heng was clutching his arm, Caelus didn't look like he could stay standing for much longer, and Welt was bleeding. There was one enemy left, so you did what you do best. "Checkmate~" you said, before defeating the enemy with Quantum energy.

You ran over to catch Caelus before he fell, and you examined him quickly, before using your power to give him some energy. You saw the concern that he had for Dan Heng as you healed Caelus up. You gave him some of the medicine and bandages from your bag and gestured over to Dan Heng, to which he nodded in response. Ah, young love, you thought, as you made your way over to March, healing her up as well. She thanked you for your help and then you made your way over to Welt.

You were going to give him an earful later for not messaging you sooner, but right now his health was more important. "You okay?" you asked him, while cleaning up his wounds with the few materials you had with you at the moment. "Yes, I'll be fine," he said, wincing due to the sudden pressure, "I appreciate your concern." As you bandaged him up you said, "Take it easy 'till we get back to the express, these aren't the correct bandages." He responded with a nod.

As the five of you approached the express, and after you gave them all a scolding, you were in the Parlor Car, but before Welt could leave you said, "Oh no you don't mister! I'm not done with you yet!" which he responded with a groan. As you dragged him away to his room, you saw Caelus and Dan Heng go into their room, March following behind with a giggle. Oh, to be young like that again.

After you shut the door and started replacing his bandages, you asked, "What in the world were you thinking!?!? You could've gotten seriously hurt!" He stayed silent. "You need to be more careful, you can't just bounce back like you used to, you're getting older!" Still, he kept quiet. Then you mumbled, "I don't know what I would've done if you extremely injured, on the ground... or even worse-" but then he pulled you into his embrace. "I'm alright." He said, wincing again. Something else was up.

You pulled away and pulled off his jacket to reveal a huge wound on his chest. "Welt..." You said softly, not wanting to put any more un-needed pressure on the man, he's been through enough already. "Why didn't you say anything earlier?" You asked, still with a soft tone. "I- *sigh* I didn't want you to worry." He said, guilt showing up on his face. "Oh Welt, for such a smart man, sometimes you can be so silly." You said with a soft chuckle, in hopes of cheering him up a little. "Now, if you want me to do something about that wound, you're going to have to take off your shirt, I don't want your injury to get infected."  You said as you grabbed what you needed to clean and fix his wound.

Oh my Aeons, was he ripped. He looked so muscular, and vulnerable at the moment, and you had this all to yourself. Oh snap out of it [name],  you thought, this is not the time!  "This is going to sting a bit, just try and focus on something else, alright?" you warned, to which he gave you a nod. As you cleaned the more severe areas, you could hear him sucking in his breath through his teeth. "Almost done Welt, you're doing so well." you said reassuringly, which helped him settle down as you put down some gauze and wrapped it up with bandages.

Once you thought that he was wrapped up well enough, you helped him sit up-right and went towards the door to get him some ice. There was one problem though, the door wouldn't budge. The door was also cold to the touch, and as you could hear some giggling from the other side, the dots started to connect. Those kids, (more specifically March 7th) had covered the door in ice so it wouldn't open. There wasn't very much that you could do in this situation, so you laughed it off and made your way back over to Welt.

As you told him about the current situation, he chuckled. Oh, how that simple laugh warmed up your insides, and thoughts about how you could've lost that warmth permanently today filled up your mind. Without realizing, you managed to wrap your arms around Welt, holding him in a warm hug. It didn't take long for him to wrap his arms around you afterwards. "You scared me today." You said, chin leaning on the crook of his neck, "Don't you ever doing something so reckless ever again."

"I'm sorry," he said, rubbing reassuring circles on your back, "Can I make it up to you?" His question piqued your interest,  and he could tell by the slight furrow in your eyebrows as you pulled away a little. You hadn't even realized the position that the two of you were in. He was seated on his bed, back leaning against his bed frame, and you were "on top of him", legs strattled on both sides of his legs, and your hands were resting on his bare shoulders.

His hands moved from your back to your waist, as he had a slight smirk on his face. Oh, not even words could describe the way that this man made you feel. He is addicting. He leaned in and tilted his head to the side ever so slightly, and you knew exactly what he was doing. "May I-" He started, but was cut off as you pushed your lips to his.

You had both been wanting this for so long, and it was finally happening! You tilted your head as you leaned in more, squeezing Welt's shoulders tightly. You could hear him let out a muffled groan after you did so, which lit a fire in your gut. His hands were wrapped so tightly around your waist, it was as if they were connected. 

As the kiss broke, and the two of you were catching your breath, your hands slid down to his, and your fingers interlocked. The two of you laughed softly at the action, and Welt squeezed your hand tightly as he said his next words. "Oh my Aeons, how I love you so." 

His words made your heart do backflips. "I love you too, Mr. Welt Yang~" you replied slyly. He chuckled, as he pulled you to lay down with him on his bed, wincing afterwards due to his injuries. "Be... Careful..." You said softly, as you drifted to sleep in Welt's embrace.

When you woke up, you carefully pulled yourself out of Welt's embrace. You went over to make Welt some pancakes, but ran into Himeko making some coffee. You found out that she walked into Welt's room earlier to check on him, but decided not to disturb the two of you. It was bound to happen anyways, so you just laughed it off.

You finished making the pancakes, made him some coffee, and brought it over to his room.  As you opened the door, you saw him sitting up-right on his bed with a smile on his face. "What did I do to deserve you?" he asked, which you responded with a roll of your eyes and a soft kiss on his forehead.
