He planned on staying the night with her. He wanted to spend as much time as he could with her. He walked into the hospital wearily and padded into her room. She was sitting on the edge of her bed facing away from him. She turned at the sound of the door.
"Jin!" She exclaimed in surprise. He smiled weakly and walked over to her. She beamed at him,
"I'm so glad you're here. It's been eating me up having to wait to tell you. You know how when you come every night, you try and help me walk?" She asked excitedly. He nodded and smiled gently. He remembered the first time he had tried it:
"It's not going to do anything." She grumbled, as he lifted her off the bed.
"We have to try. We can't just do nothing." He insisted. She scowled and leaned on him heavily.
"This is stupid." She insisted. He shook his head,
"Cmon try and take a step." Slowly, she swung her leg forward. Her leg was shaking feebly and she cried out in pain when she put weight on it. She crumpled into his arms.
"It's not going to work." She murmured. He held her tightly,
"I'm not giving up on you."
He smiled at the memory,
"Yeah. I know." He nodded.
"Well...I told the doctor about it, I meant I told him I was doing it by myself. And he said that if I keep doing it, and with a lot of physical therapy, I could walk again. If I had crutches." She grabbed his hands and smiled at him so widely, it must've hurt her cheeks. He pulled her into him.
"That's great princess." He kissed her forehead, and she smiled up at him in happiness. This was so amazing. Happiness bubbled up inside him, he could barely contain his excitement. It almost made him forget. Almost.
"I have something to tell you too." He mumbled.
"Yeah?" She looked up at him expectantly.
"It's not as great as your news." He sighed.
"What's wrong?" She asked concerned, using his shoulder to pull herself up.
"Things are a little messed up. I'll just give you the short version. Nari cheated on Suga, and Suga got really fucked up over it. Which is to be expected, so I needed to do something. Suga can't do this alone, so..I joined the Yakuza. I need to help him." He felt so bad.
"Why? Why would you do that?" She asked him, panic rising in her voice.
"Because he's my family. I need to help him, he can't do it alone. And without him I can't keep you safe, so I needed to join. I know you're safe here, but I just don't want anything to happen to you again." He brushed a hair out of her face.
"What if something happens to you? You won't leave me again will you?" She pulled herself closer to him and looked at him panicked.
"Nothing will happen to me. Suga will keep me safe. We have each other's back. I won't leave you. I can't leave you now." He promised, caressing her face. She nodded, he could see the tears welling in her eyes. He kissed her nose and pulled her into the bed. He laid down and pulled her on to his chest. She nuzzled her head into his chest.
"I can't lose you again. It hurt so much." She murmured, her voice thick with emotion.
"You won't I promise. I promise princess. I want to see you walk. I want to see you get better. I wouldn't miss that for the world." He ran his thumb across her cheek and kissed her other cheek,
"I just can't be here as often. Some nights I might not be here, and some nights I will." He shrugged, he didn't know what else to say.
"Okay. Okay as long as that's all." She mumbled and looked up at him. He kissed her gently and rested his forehead against hers.
"I love you." She whispered. He smiled,
"I love you too."
He pressed his lips down on hers again and she cupped his face in her hands. He entangled his fingers in her hair and slowly maneuvered himself on top of her. She moved her hands to his chest, she gripped the fabric of his shirt tightly. He moved his hands from her hair and placed them on either side of her head to support himself. She murmured against his lips and gripped his shirt tighter.
"What?" He murmured, moving his lips from hers and peppering kisses down her neck. She sighed contentedly, her hands loosened on his shirt.
"I like it when you cup my face in your hands. I love the way your fingers feel on my face." She mumbled shyly. He smirked and cupped her face in his hands slowly.
"Like this?" He whispered huskily.
"Mhm." She mumbled, blushing. He kissed her again,
"Anything for you princess."
"I like it when you call me princess too." She giggled. He chuckled,
"Kinky princess." She gasped,
"Not like that! You're the one that touched my boob on the first date." She huffed. He slid his hand down and hovered it over her chest. She looked at him in shock. He moved his hand back to her face.
"I'm just kidding. I love to tease you princess. You're just so beautiful." He kissed her smile.
"Don't you mean cute?" She asked.
"No. You're beautiful." He whispered. She slammed her lips on to his and held his neck in her hands. He sighed and fell into her, sliding his hands from her cheeks to over her ears and into her hair.
"Did you lock the door?" She murmured suddenly. He looked over at the door.
"I guess I did. Force of habit. Why?" He shrugged and looked back at her. She shook her head and continued kissing him. She moved her hands from his neck and slid them over his arms, and under his shirt, along his back. He liked the way her soft palms felt against his skin. She slipped her hands down to his waist and held it for a moment, before her fingers slowly crawled to his pants. She played with the waistband before moving to the button and popping it open. He liked the way her hands worked. Wait. Hold up. He pulled away sharply and stopped her hands with one of his, leaving his other hand in her hair.
"What are you doing?" He asked puzzled. She blushed furiously and looked away. He tensed for a moment, then bent down and kissed her nose.
"Are you sure?" He murmured. She looked at him with so much trust, he felt his heart swell with love and pride and happiness. She nodded slowly. He kissed her again, smiling.
And he let her hands go.
