Gingershy got hurt by a cake wolf scratch on his hip so he has to rest in the hospital for a lil, Wild Strawberry Cookie hated that though...
————
I woke up, opening my eyes slowly.
I was sleeping after the doctor had checked me up on my cake wolf scratch. I had gotten it in battle to save Wild Strawberry Cookie, I don't regret it. I just hate the pain it gives me.
I looked around the room, the moonlight glittered into the room, covering the walls. I also saw someone else.
Wild's mother, Overseer Cookie or better known as Sweet Gumberry Cookie.
"W—What are you doing here?" I asked her, she sighed.
"Making sure my little one sleeps well." She said softly.
"But she's not..." I trailed off as I felt warmth on my hand, I looked to see Wild Strawberry Cookie there, sleeping on my hand while sitting on a nearby chair. She was sleeping, that's good but...she must've been crying in order to get so tired.
"She really hated that I took the hit, right?" I pondered to her mother.
"Yes, she was upset." She got up and moved to where her daughter was. "No one has ever done that for her. She was really surprised and scared..." Overseer looked at me sweetly. "But I want to thank you for that."
I nodded, but looked to Wild again.
"Can I wake her up, so she can know I'm okay?"
"Of course. I'll be outside looking for water to drink." She nodded as she went outside, her transparent, white starred hair flowing in motion, closing the door behind her.
I gently shook Wild with my free hand, she jolted up, then looked to me.
"You..."
"Hi Wild." I smiled at her, she didn't smile back though, she only stood there. Shaking. Her devil tail swished back and forth in a slow motion.
"Never do that again." She whispered to me.
"D-Do...what?" I pondered softly.
"Y-You idiot! You kn—know what!" This was the first time I've heard her stutter, her voice was shaky. I felt so bad, she wanted to cry again.
"I had to...I didn't want you to get h-h-hurt..." I mumbled, I didn't want to get yelled at, I hope I didn't.
"But you're more hurt than me!" Her arms shook, she was so scared for me.
"We're both hurt. Y-You're touch-starved Wild..."
"D-Doesn't matter! I cried! I didn't want you to experience any pain anymore!" Tears started to form in her eyes. I've never seen her like this, it scared me but I stayed calm.
I sat up and held her hands.
"I'm okay. Wild Strawberry Cookie."
Her beautiful auburn eyes looked at me, in the moonlight she looked stunning.
"I hope." Wild murmured. Her body was shaking, I know she wanted to cry, she just wouldn't give.
"I c-care too much about you Gingershy." Her voice was still shaky. "I love you."
The words "I love you" echoed through my head, she really does care. She does love me.
Wild Strawberry Cookie started to cry, she couldn't hold herself anymore.
"H-Hey, it's okay, don't cry." I brought her towards me and she quickly laid next to me, hugging me so tightly.
"I-I-I'm sorry!"
"Shh...shhh...no, it's not your fault Wild...I-I promise." I removed her hoodie and gently started to pet her head. She calmed down a little bit. "I love you too."
Her crying subsided and her tail swished in comfort, she felt alright now. The only noise she was making was sniffling.
I buried myself into her hair, savoring the warmth in the hug.
"I just want you to be safe, Shy..." I heard her whisper.
Is it weird that she's never been like this before? She's more sadder than the times we comforted each other.
"I-I know that but...I don't want you to be hurt either Wild." I whispered back, I cradled her closer to me.
"I hope you know how much you mean to me."
"The same goes for you...love."
She gently lifted her head to look at me, her tired, auburn eyes casted a glow of love. I smiled, happy to know she loves me back.
"Uhm, c-can you stay with me until I'm good to go h-home? Please?" I pondered softly.
"I wouldn't mind, only if you don't tell anyone I bawled my eyes out."
"I won't. Promise." I smiled at her. "This is our moment of comfort, not anyone else's."
"Good." Wild mumbled.
...
"Because your love is mine."

Overseer Cookie made it back to the hospital room, followed by Croissant Cookie.
"I just wanted to make sure he's okay. I did save his little sister." Croissant explained. "How's Wild doing?"
"She's a bit sad but..." Overseer hesitated to open the door, yet opened it anyway. "she'll be okay. Besides it's really quiet here."
She looked to the hospital bed and saw her daughter Wild Willow Strawberry Cookie sleeping with Gingershy. They seemed comfortable and content with each other.
"Aw, that's cute." Croissant cooed. "I'm assuming he's okay now that he's with her."
"Yeah, they love each other so much." Overseer smiled.
"You know," Croissant Cookie continued. "They are gonna be married in the future."
"I know." She smiled. "A child too. Maybe another."
She was happy that her child found happiness in Gingershy, being his savior from abuse.
"Shy has my blessing. His soul is too sweet to hurt my little one. I'll let them get together and live a happy life."
Croissant smiled at Overseer.
"And...?"
...
"And I'll let them get together and be able to meet Shyberry one day." Overseer laughed softly.
