I felt myself regaining consciousness as I awoke to reality. "Ughhhhhh..." I attempted to move, but a pair of arms held me back. "____! _____ _____!" Why must my ears always fail to- "(Y/n)! Can you hear me?" I opened my eye, noticing how bandages covered my left eye. I looked around and saw Edd in front of me, waving his hand in my face, "W-What?" my voice was hoarse and scratchy. Before either Edd or I could continue, Tom shyly entered the room, holding a bottle of water. "You're awake. Great." He said, without sarcasm. I stared him down, "What? Don't give me that look. I did nothing to you." Edd chuckled and gave Tom a quick hug before walking out of the room, leaving me and Tom alone.

I moved back to my original position lying down, waiting for him to speak, due to my voice being practically gone. "So, uh... I got this for you..." I moved my head to look at him, "I thought that you might want something to drink after you woke up. And since the doctors don't recommend drinking sugary drinks after you wake up from a coma I got you this." His explanation was so long and unneeded that I almost ended up going back to sleep. I nodded and searched for the remote to lift the bed. "Looking for this?" Tom questioned, handing me the remote. I could have smiled; I could have attempted a laugh... But I didn't. My expression stayed cold and distant.

The bed raised and so did I. There was no pain as I was now sitting up slightly. I grabbed the bottle from Tom gently and proceeded to drink it. The liquid felt so refreshing running down my throat, the aching was becoming less a problem. I finished the water and placed the cap back on the bottle, handing it back to Tom. "Better?" he sounded too sincere... So genuine. Yet I did nothing to deserve it. I was hoping to die. I wanted to forget of that mistake of kissing him. I wanted-

"(Y/n)..." I broke out of my thoughts. I looked at Tom who wore a glare and a hardening expression, "What were you trying to accomplish back there?" my eye widened. "What was running through your mind as you kissed me?" I felt the world crumble around me. 

"Why... Why wouldn't you tell me earlier?" suddenly, everything came back. "T-Tom..." My voice was still hoarse but it didn't hurt as bad. "I-I couldn't t-tell you c-cause' T-Tord would k-k-kill me..." My tears were dry, nothing was emitting from my eye. "Your own brother would kill you for loving someone?" I slowly nodded my head, remembering what Tord had said to me.

I quickly decided to change the topic, "But T-Tom... How l-long was I-I out?" His expression softened, "You were out for three days. But, in that time span, we got new apartments. I even have the landlord holding one empty if you wanted to move in." a smile became evident on my face as I looked down to my lap. "I'd... I'd really appreciate that. Thank you." I lifted my head and gave him a closed eye smile.

When I opened my eye, Tom had shifted so that he was facing away from me. "Tom?" he didn't look up. "Do you, um... Do you hate me?" I asked. Tom jumped slightly from where he was standing, "W-What? No! I could never hate you... It's just... I didn't expect you to kiss me then... Not that there was anything wrong with it! I just wasn't expecting it and-" "OH MY GOD TOM!" I yelled, hurting myself and scaring Tom. He stopped his stammering and looked at me. "Tom, come here." I demanded. "Would you like another kiss?" I asked, carefully cupping his cheek. A faint pink dusted his face as he nodded. "Alright, all you had to do was ask."

The world seemed to slow down as I pulled our faces together. When our lips connected, sparks flew everywhere. When we pulled away, the world went back to normal. "You, Thomas Bidgewell, are and amazing kisser." I stated, petting his hair. "And you, (Y/n) Larison, nearly died because of stupid actions." Both of us gave a small chuckle. "Well... Guess we'll have to wait for a doctor to come by and-" "Ahh! Mr. Larison! You are awake!" Tom and I exchanged glances at the coincidence of this happening. "Yeah, I'm awake. What is it to you?" I asked, crossing my arms. "Well, you'll be free to go home in a week, give or take, but instead of going to jail for your crimes against the country, you will be allowed to go back home." I furrowed my eyebrows, "What do you mean, 'Instead of going to jail'?" the doctor shrugged. "That's all I was told. But I want you to get as much rest as you can." I nodded and then the doctor left.

Tom looked at me, "Who do you think it could be?" Tom asked. I shrugged and directed my attention towards the window. "Maybe a guardian angel, maybe a demon who wants to save my soul. Who knows?"

The time in the hospital didn't last long as I was released the following week. Thanks to Tom renting out an apartment for me, we ended up being neighbors and spending more time together. Edd visited very often and sometimes brought along Matt who helped us make pillow forts and help me cook dinner. Overall, Tom and I got together. He used me as a pillow and I used him as a blanket, so it works out. Tord never did show his face again, well not to Edd at least.

The End.





A/n: SO! how did you like it? It took forever to write because flipping school is on my nerves and that i've been having anxiety more frequently which had been a pain in the ass. Nevertheless, I hope you enjoyed the chapter!
