Author's Note

This is my second time writing this. The first time, I forgot to save it and closed my laptop. WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY????? So maybe this time will be better? I've decided to switch to first person, so I hope that doesn't make you guys too angry....It's just easier to write this chapter like that.

Myra's POV

I could not sleep. Worry for Rin clawed at my mind and shredded my calmness. What if things were worse than we thought? How was this going to affect Len? What if Rin....What if....I couldn't bring myself to think about it. That only brought about another cycle of worry. I shivered in my bed. It had been hot when I got in bed, but now it was freezing outside, and so was my room. I guess it also didn't help that I was only wearing a skimpy nightgown and underwear. Maybe I should close that window so I don't freeze to death, I thought. I got up and shut the window. As long as I'm up, I guess I should get some water or hot milk to help me sleep. I walked down to the kitchen and got out a glass. As I turned off the water, I heard a sound. Was somebody...crying? I decided that I should find whoever was crying and console them. Maybe they were worried about Rin too? I made my way down the hall in search of the sound. Eventually, I found the room it was coming from. Hoping I wasn't about to make a horrible mistake, I opened the door.

The room(and crying)belonged to Oliver. I walked quietly over to his bed. From the looks of it, he wasn't awake. I couldn't stand to see him looking so tormented and sad. He sobbed into his pillow, and I wondered how the others didn't hear. I shook his shoulder gently. "Oliver?" There was no reply. "Oliver? Please, wake up." I didn't want to hear his distressed cries any longer. I shook him harder. "Oliver!" Slowly, he opened his teary eyes. "M...Myra-chan?" I sighed in relief. "Oliver! You're awake!" He looked slightly confused. "Yeah..." I realized I should probably explain to him why I was in his room at night. "I was worried about Rin and couldn't sleep. I went to get some water, and heard you crying. I came here and woke you up because I couldn't stand...the sound of your crying." I felt myself blush as I said the last bit. A sort of melancholy smile crossed Oliver's face. "It's nice to know you care about me." I was shocked. He said it as though not many people cared for him. "Of course I do! We all do." Oliver met my eyes'. "I guess, huh? It was just...the nightmare..." He said quietly. "Do...Do you want to tell me about it?" I asked. Oliver shook his head, which made his blonde hair swish across his bandages. "It will just make me more upset." I didn't want to upset him any more. Just the thought of his tormented face made me want to cry... Too late! I felt the tears prick my eyes. Oliver looked very concerned. "Myra-chan? What's wrong?" I gave a very unconvincing smile. "I-I'm fine." Then I shivered. "Brrr. Why is it so cold in here? I'm gonna get hypothermia!" Oliver stretched his hand out to me. "The bed is a lot warmer." I blushed bright red. "U-uh......What?" Oliver must have realized what that sounded like and blushed as well. "I didn't mean it like that! It's just...It's cold and the bed is warm..." I nodded. "It's fine. I know you wouldn't do anything." I said, climbing in. "Just for a bit." I told him. Oliver nodded, his hair swishing against the bandage again. He turned to face me. At that moment, I was reminded of my skimpy clothing. "Aah! I have to go!" Oliver suddenly looked scared. "W-wait!" He grabbed my hand. "Please don't leave me alone. After that nightmare...I don't want to be alone." I laid back down. It was dark anyway, soon he would be asleep. "Oliver...I'm worried about Rin. How will it affect Len? And everybody else? What if it's more serious than we thought? What if... What if Rin....?" I couldn't bring myself to think the words, much less speak them. I started to cry again. Oliver brushed my tears away. Now, I guess, it was his turn to comfort me. "Rin will be fine. Let's sleep now. We'll protect each other, okay? You'll keep the nightmares away, and I'll keep your worries at bay." I nodded. "That sounds really nice." I fell asleep in Oliver's arms, warm and safe.

I groggily opened my eyes. It was early in the morning, nobody else should be awake. I looked around. Wait, this wasn't my room! I panicked until I remembered what had happened. I turned over to see Oliver next to me, still asleep. Even with his massive bedhead, he looked adorable. I started to get up, then realized too late that I was hopelessly tangled in the covers. "AAAH!" With a thud, Oliver and I both landed in a tangled mess on the floor, right at the wrong time. Last night, I had forgotten to close the door! Gackupo happened to walk out of the shower then, which happened to be in front of Oliver's room. Our fall had brought atttention to ourselves and he looked at us with surprise. "Had a nice night, did you?" He asked with a sly grin crawling across his face. Oliver and I said in unison, "IT'S NOT LIKE THAT!"

Another Author's Note

Sorry about the weird bold type thing. My hand slipped while I was typing and it just happened. I had no idea how to change it, but then on the next paragraph it got fixed. If somebody can tell me how to fix it, I will. Anyway, I've been waiting FOREVER to write this chapter. This was actually my first idea for this fanfiction. It was the chapter that started it all! Ah, I just love it! It didn't turn out exactly as I planned, but I had to write it twice, so I think it turned out pretty good.
