Birds of a Feather

Depression

Ida POV

I woke up when I could feel the sun's rays on my face. I got up and looked over toward Mordecai who was still asleep. I felt intense pain, I looked down and remembered the burns and cuts. I tried to get up but screamed, which woke up Mordecai. He woke up ready to attack but only saw me in intense pain. He quickly walked over to me and started to freak out,
" What do I do!?" We had no aid kit at the camp.
" Mordecai, calm down, carry me to the fast travel station and take me to Zed," he nodded and did what I told him. I could tell in his eyes that he was worried. Soon we reached Zed and he patched me up, I was left alone behind the curtains of my room. I could hear Mordecai being dragged out by Brick, him refusing to leave me because I'm all that he has.

Ida POV

Night has fallen and we are back at camp. Mordecai wouldn't let me do anything saying that I need to rest.
" Mordecai I know you worry but I'm fine now," I grabbed his hand from my lap.
" I know Ida, it's just you are the last thing I'm this world that keeps me sane, and I can't lose you," he squeezed my hand and looked into my eyes. I reached up and took his goggles off.
" Mordecai, I wanted to say this for awhile, I have feel-" I was cut off by a pair of lips on mine. I slowly closed my eyes and moved my lips with his. It was like bliss. He pulled away and looked me in the eyes,
" I love you too," I smilies and hugged him. This is what I wanted, i wanted to be with him, to help him, to be his rock, and he wanted me, to help him, to be his rock.
