Asta arrives at the capital to find many injured mages. He is still carrying noelle with her legs wrapped around his waist.

"Hang in there, noelle.."

The black bulls are gathered together when finral notices asta...

"Asta?!" They all look over and are shocked. They run over to him, questions upon questions, dying to be answered..

"Not now, guys. I need to find Owen, where is he!?!"

"Here, asta," says Owen.
"Sir, please, she needs urgent care. She's been cut on her arm, and I think bruised on her ribs."

Owen looks at noelle and reassures asta that she'll be fine.

"Although, She might have pains in her stomach from time to time, I'm sorry, but I can't do anything about that. It's something that will only heal over time."

"As long as she's okay.."

Asta goes over to the black bulls and sits down, extremely tired.

"Nice going, kid. You did alright." says yami.

"Yeah, that was real sweet, how you carried noelle here." says finral.

"Hehe, thanks, guys, but I couldn't have done it without liebe. Thanks for giving me a hand, man."

"No problem, you idiot." says liebe from asta's shoulder.

*fast forward a little bit. It's been a few days. Noelle is still asleep, and asta has been by her side for most of the time.*

Finally, noelle opens her eyes to see vanessa next to her dabbing a wet towel on her head..

"Vanessa?? Where am I? What happened??

"Hey, sleepyhead, how are you feeling?

"Okay, but how long have I been asleep??"

"It's been a few days. Do you remember what happened to you??"

"Wow, the last thing I remember is..."
Noelle tells vanessa about her mother..

"Damn, I'm so sorry, noelle. That must've been really hard for you."

Noelle looks upset, but vanessa has an idea to cheer her up..

"Hey, I have to tell you, when you got here, asta was carrying y---"

Asta walks in with a basket of items and is pleased to see noelle awake..

"Oh noelle, ur awake!?! How you feeling??"

"Good, thank you, asta."

Both look at each other for a second...

Asta simply smiles.

"Well, I thought you might want a few things when you wake up, so I gotchyu some water, a few blankets, a few comfortable clothes if u wanna change outta that hospital gown, and oh yes, some mana-replenishing snacks from charmy."

Noelle blushes as asta holds a small piece of food towards her face. She takes a gentle nibble. Asta holds his other hand under her chin to catch any crumbs.. her eyes widen even more.. vanessa is smiling from ear to ear, understanding she should probably leave the room. So she starts to leave, but asta quickly calls her back and whispers something..

"Hey, vanessa, I don't want noelle worrying right now, you know, so could you go find out how nozelle is doing?"

"Sure thing, in the meantime, you should probably talk to noelle about how she's feeling about everything, I'm sure she'll open up to you.." she winks.

Hey amazing reader, I'm wondering if it would be easier if I wrote in pov's instead of 3rd person (narrator style), so lemme know. Please vote or comment, ur support really motivates me to write more!!
