You again

I awoke on the hard wood floor, except my head which was resting on a comfy bed. Everyone told me to rest. Take care of myself. Recover. Shinobu even said I had some injuries that wouldn't heal for a while due to me using so much power, but I didn't care.

I wanted to be right here. And no one was moving me. No one.

Flashback

"Y/n... he's... alive. Barely." I cried even harder upon hearing that. I thought I lost him. For good. I couldn't bear the feeling of losing someone else I cared for so dearly... dare I even say loved. It hit me like a warm breeze when you were used to the cold wind, relief. He was alive. Even if it was critical condition, he was alive.

End of flashback

So here I was. Staying next to Sanemi 24/7 while he staying in deep sleep. Every second I spent wishing he would open his eyes and hug me, saying everything would be ok. Shinobu worked her magic on him and somehow made his heart start beating again, and stabled his condition. I was so thankful, I thanked her at least 5 times every minute until she threatened me to stop. Ever since he had been 'open' to visitors, even though I had been seeing him before hand, I haven't left his side. It had only been 26 hours, but I had stayed by his side ever since. He hadn't woken up yet, and Shinobu said it was because of how damaged his body was despite me healing him multiple times. I had to give the master a report along with Giyuu and Obanai, but as soon as it was over I was by Sanemis side again. After the events that went down, it was very clear to me just how much I truly cared for him. All I wanted was to be with him. All day. Every day.

It was clear to me now, I had fallen in love.

Fallen for a hot idiot with anger issues.

I held his cold hand, but it wasn't as cold as it was when he wasn't breathing and laying on the ground. I'll never forget those moments for as long as I live.

Obanai had thanked me for saving him, which I didn't expect considering the only person he ever thanked was his one true love, but I accepted it.

Giyuu woke up after only 18 hours, and was instantly greeted by swarms of people. Which he didn't appreciate. Shinobu had to end up kicking everyone out, as expected. I bet she was worried sick about him, ever since I caught them... you know... I noticed how much the two cared for each other in non verbal ways. Shinobu teasing him was her way of showing her emotions to him, somehow. But I kinda got her. I don't really know about Giyuu, he just talks more to her and glances at her a lot.

I never really paid attention to see if Sanemi ever felt anything towards me. I knew how I felt, but what about him?

"Ayy I hear the short one is living here at the moment." Tengen burst through the door and walked over to me and sleeping Sanemi.

"Hey gaylord."

"Wind lover."

We both started laughing, and I was glad he came here. I always got along with Tengen, and I really enjoyed being in his presence. He was so easy to make fun of, it was very entertaining.

"So he's still asleep?" He looked at Sanemi, who was still somewhat pale, but also had a look of calm and peace on his face, which was rare. "Glad he doesnt scowl in his sleep. Thought he did every night honestly."

I shrugged, still holding one of his hands tightly like I had been all day. I didn't care if someone walked in, I wasn't letting him go. "I was suprised at first to, but apparently he's a peaceful sleeper."

"Clearly. So out of character for him. He doesnt look like the only words he knows are insults."

"Oh totally." I smiled to myself as I looked at his face, and how calm he looked. It was rare to see him in such a state, and despite his condition, I loved seeing him like this.
