"I'm sorry I haven't been around much love." oh it's him! "Your parents are here most of the time, and I finally got in after visiting hours were over. I've missed you." he kisses the tips of my fingers.

"Anna, love. I don't care what I have to face, as long as it's with you, I'll do it. Your parent's disapproval does not waver my love for you. We're both condescending adults in a sane relationship. I wouldn't go as far to call me a pedophile."

Oh no, he seems disgusted with himself. What am I to do. What can I do? Why won't my body listen to me? Why?!

"C-c-chris?" my voice. IT WORKS. THANK THE SWEET HEAVENS. But does it have to sound like shit? I just can't win.

"Anna? Anna?! ANNA?!!"

I open my eyes; I could just barely make out an unshaven face. The bright white lights hurt my eyes at first so I shut them. I slowly open them again as my vision finally clears. I noticed my leg was propped onto a contraption that held it up in the air in a cast. I turned to the man of the hour though. Chris.

"Well you don't have to yell. Hey there stranger." I smile weakly. I feel like I've been mauled by a truck. My body aches and my head throbs slightly. I tighten my grip on his hand.

"Hey yourself." he sounds breathless. "I should call your folks." his face darkens.

"No. Don't. I want to spend my first few hours of life in peace."

"Then, I should go..."

"With you."

"Oh." he smiles.

"I'm sorry about my parents and their less than warm reactions about us."

"I'm fine, but how did you even know that they're here?" he raised an eyebrow on his restless face. He looks like he hasn't slept in days. He had dark circles under his eyes but he didn't take away from his beauty.

"You know, my ears and brain worked fine when I was paralyzed."

"Oh." he blushes.

"Is there something you would like to tell me?" I smirk.

"Are you smirking at me?" he's amused.

"Pft. Last thing I'd do right now."

"Oh but you are love." he smiles his beautiful smile. He looks like he hasn't used it in days. I return the smile but it fades quickly.

"There's an us..."

"I would like there to be." He whispers.

"Me too."

"She came to class because I asked her to, you know that, but I asked her to come so I could explain to her that you were serious to me. I needed to tell her to stop hassling me and to leave me alone. I probably shouldn't have acknowledged her at all but I just wanted to tell her that I wanted her to stop contacting me and that I wanted to break off our friendship." He paused and laced our fingers.

He took a breath and continued, "I knew that I couldn't teach class while she was there because she's the dramatic and critical type. I didn't need anymore drama in my life or in that class, so I decided to dismiss class early. When I led her out and started to tell her that, she threw herself onto me and kissed me. Then, that was when Cid appeared and you ran off..."

"Did you know she had feelings for you?" I questioned.

"No...yes.." he scratched the back of his neck. "We were engaged."
