"ow" I said wincing and squeezing my eyes shut

"hold still" said Buster

"I am" I grumbled

"well hold still more" he said with a smiled

he patched my head and cleaned off the blood then he saw to my arm that also got a little cut along the gravel he pulled my sleeve up

"you know?" I said wincing again "I could do this all myself"

"I know" he said "but I have nothing better to do" he looked me over "Seems he gashed your collar bone too"

he ran his finger over the wound I cringed as I felt him stick something on

"ow" I growled pulling away

"baby" he said as I pulled out of his grip

"it's not my fault if your anything but gentle" I snapped

a long silence passed between us as he rubbed his shoulder I watched with a smile

"aww" I said pouting "does it still hurt?" he looked at me with a frown

"yes" he said "why would you do that"

"because I'm a nightmare dressed as a day dream?"

he smiled letting some more time pass between us

"I've been thinking--"

"oh that can't be good" I said smiling he rolled his eyes

"you did not want to fight number 4 with the axe" he said looking at me curiously "why?"

I stood up and crossed my arms mumbling unhappily

"I just wanted to know why" he said as I sighed

"I don't like axes" I told him he leaned forwards slightly

"why?"

"Well because---"

he stood up and came forwards grabbing a corner of my shirt he lifted it showing the long thick white scar along my side

"hey" I growled grabbing his arm but he didn't let go

"is it because of that?" he asked I sighed

"yes" I said irritated yanking my shirt out of his grip I smoothed it down

"care to tell me how it happened?" I shook my head he shrugged "okay but you'll have too soon"

"don't hold your breath" I told him

he sighed as he pulled me closer and touched his nose to mine and he stared into my eyes I completely froze then he let my hand go and moved away I came back in to the world of the living I walked over to the window Ceil and sat down on it and stared out at the sea and sighed I heard Buster walk over to me and his shadow loomed over me I turned my head to face him his look was serious

"you don't love me do you?"

"huh?" I said alarmed

I was wondering what would happen when I answered I let a long silence passed between us and then I nodded

"these thing tend to happen" I said he smiled

"that was the main reason why I wanted to keep you" he said as he leaned over and kissed my forehead I smiled
