Soul stood there admiring BlueStar, she was now awake and Soul was sucked into her beauty to even inform the nurses that she was awake. BlueStar was desperately trying to keep her eyes open, and she managed to pull through.
Soul POV
I was holding her hand in both of mine and she was trying to steady her breathing. She then looked at me and smile, but very weak. I scooted my chair closer to her while not letting go of her hand.
"S-soul?" She asked my name ever so quietly.
"What's wrong BlueStar?" I asked with a little concern in my voice.
"W-where is everyone e-else? Her voice cracked needing water. I got the cup of water on her little nightstand thing and brought it up to her lips. She slowly drank it, but you can tell she craved it, it was hard for her to drink and talk because of the tube she had in her mouth. I took the now half full glass of water and put it back. I looked back at her and decided to answer her question.
"Well they actually just left, while you were out, Lucy, Erza, Gray, Wendy, Carla and Happy came to keep an eye on you, your guild master orders." She looked at me and looked a little confused.
"Where is Natsu?" She asked with concern filling her voice and eyes.
"Oh he's still back at the guild, they didn't want him to come because they thought he would go crazy and destroy everything."
"Soul, how long have I been asleep?" I looked at her and kinda started to hang my head, I sighed and whispered.
"For over a month...." I guess she heard me and her eyes grew wide.
"O-over a a m-month!?!" She kinda yelled. I brought one of my fingers to her mouth and shushed her.
"Don't shout, if you want I'll bring everyone here?" She smiled and nodded. I smiled back at her and went to get up.
BlueStar POV
Soul had gotten up to go and tell everyone I was awake. I still couldn't believe that it's been over a month since I have fought the Kishin, that ugly selfish perverted bastard Asura. I shivered at the thought and Soul had noticed, he gave me a concerned look. I reassured him I was fine by smiling and shooing him off with my hands.
"Oh Soul, do you think you can find me a mask or something first, I don't really want people seeing my face." He smiled and nodded. He was about to walk out but he stopped in the middle of his tracks, turned on his heels and walked towards me. He bent down a little kissed my cheek that had the scar and then kissed my eye. With that he walked off with his hands in his pockets and the door closed with a soft click. I looked at the door and took in what just happened, I was dumbfounded and stood staring at the door. Once it all sunk in, I blushed a really deep shade of red that my face literally dissapperared. I shook my head vigorously to come back to my senses. I looked in the direction of the window, I wonder if Valentine's Day has passed yet. I sat there daydreaming about Natsu, and everyone else in the guild, mostly Natsu and Gray. My thoughts were interrupted by the door opening. It was Soul, he closed the door behind him and walked up to me. He handed me something black. I grabbed and gripped the cloth in my hand, I unfolded it and it was a mask, one that covers my eye too. I put the cloth over my head and slipped it down. I adjusted it and everything to make sure I feel comfortable. I looked up to see Soul smiling at me. I giggled a bit and that's when I really noticed all the wires and tubes and little heart monitor stickers that were on me. I looked down to see my stomach and chest wrapped in bandages, I only had the bandages like how Erza's Japanese cloth armor is, but this goes down to my stomach. I moved the blanket a bit and seen I had some shorts on and my legs were covered with little scars and burn marks. My arms were also covered in scars and little burn marks. I sighed and realized just how bad my fight with the afreet was. Now I need to train really hard now. I covered myself back up and sighed and fell back against the bed. Soul looked at me and could probably tell my expression. He walked up to me and grabbed my hand and gently brought it up to his lips. He looked up at me, and there was some hidden emotion in his eyes that made me feel....weird.
He looked back at my hand and gently kissed my hand, he kept on kissing it and with each kiss he kept going up my arm. When he got to my joint he looked back at me and gently let my hand down next to me on the bed. He looked back at me and he brought one of his hands to my cheek with the scar I had. He started leaning closer and closer to my lips. Our lips had barely touched, my bare lips against his, they brushed against each other until we heard the door creak open.
