You slowly opened your eyes only to be looking up at a wooden ceiling. You moved your fingers slightly and felt the warm water your body was laying in. You heard soft whispers and murmurs. You turned your head slightly towards the talking, looking over the rim of the tub. You saw Achilles and Jack talking. Connor quickly pacing back and forth. Worried sick out of his mind. You closed your eyes and breathed out slowly. Feeling your soul drift back into your body. You knew you were dead. You remembered you were dead. You remembered everything that happened somehow. Jack carrying you. Connor worriedly watching over you. You even remembered the two shouting at each other.
You relaxed for a second before slowly sitting up out of the water. The air was cold and thin. That's how the homestead had always been during the winter.
Achilles and Jacks lips quickly sealed shut. Connor stopped pacing as his head snapped towards your direction.
"[Y/N]!"
He ran over and kneeled at the side of the tub, quickly grabbing your face and pushing some wet hair strands out of your face.
You slowly reached up and put your hands over top of his, not saying a word but looking into Connors deep chocolate, warm brown eyes. You looked into each other's eyes for a moment before Jack quickly rushed over and pushed Connor over and out of the way. Jack grabbed your face quickly and gently and stepped into the tub, not carrying about is shoes or pants. He sunk down into the water and pulled your wet body into his embrace. You fell into his chest and tightly wrapped yourself around him. You closed your eyes and enjoyed the warmth of his body. Your ear laid over his heart, you could hear the quick thudding of his heart.

"I thought I lost you! I thought you died. I was ready to give my life to see you again [Y/N]!"

The red coats voice shook slightly as he was on the verge of tears. You kept silent and your eyes closed. You sat in his arms for what was forever.
Slowly you sat back and looked into the red coats striking blue eyes. They were watery and full of love and passion for your being. He slowly took your hands into his and smiled weakly.

"I promise I will never let anything like this happen to you again. I would jump in front of stampeding horses if it means saving you .."

You smiled slightly and leaned close to his face, gently placing your lips against his.

They were soft and warm and the cutest shade of pink and they felt right against your lips.

Connor watched with jealously and anger. He cleared his throat loudly.

"We should let her get out and get changed."

Your lips released their lock on jacks and you moved out of his arms. He nodded and got up out of the water, stepping out of the tub.

"I should go change as well."

Achilles smiled at you before grabbing jacks shoulder and leading him out.

"Come boy, I should have some spare clothes you might fit."

Connor stood and watched you stand and weakly try and climb your way out of the tub. Your foot slipped slightly and you staggered.
Connor quickly stepped closer and held out his hand for you to grab hold of.
You stared at his hand for a few seconds before hesitantly sliding your hand into his. His hands were big and warm. Some spots were rough and others were soft. He held Onto your hand tightly and helped hoist you out of the tub.

"I was worried about you."

You pushed back some of your wet hair behind your ear and looked away, showing that you did not want to speak with him.

"You mean so much to me-"

You snapped slightly at the tall native, not threatened by his towering stance over you.
