The Memory of the Artifacts

Chapter 11- Familiar

Be prepared for some fluff!!!!!!!!!

~Rainbow Steve's POV~

I wake up to a headache and a slight pain in my chest. I groan, my eyes still closed because of the light. Why is it so bright?

I slowly start to open my eyes, just to see myself looking up. There is glass above me, letting light shine in and practically blinding me. No wonder it seems so bright... I slowly push myself to get up, slowly getting off the bed due to my injury. The bed I am on creaks as I get up, clearly being an old bed.

For a moment once I get up, I just stand there; trying to gain my balance once again. I turn around and see Blue Steve in the bed as well, seeming asleep, and I can't help but blush. What all happened? Where is everyone else? All I have is questions rushing through my mind but I practically jump out of my skin when I hear a door open. "Rainbow Steve, you're awake!" Sabre, Purple Steve, and the ghostly Yellow Steve explain in excitement. They hug me tight, but not as tight as Purple Steve did before.

"What happened?" I ask, still a little groggy from being in bed. My throat is dry, so my voice sounds like I swallowed a bucket of nails. Ouch.

"Purple Steve hugged you, and for some reason you passed out," Sabre explains matter-of-factly. Well, that explains why my head hurts. "What about Blue Steve? What happened to him?" I ask as I look back at him, a slight blush dancing across my cheeks. I look back at everyone else, completely composed but still with a dry throat. You can tell I haven't drank anything in a while, because my voice is hoarse.

"He picked up the artifact and not long afterwards passed out as well," Purple Steve says while looking at the ground. "Purple Steve?" Yellow Steve asks and I watch with curiosity.

".. Rainbow Steve, this happened before with an infected Steve a while back; don't you remember? They just completely disappeared afterwards.. I'm worried about Blue Steve; yeah he didn't disappear but he still passed out," Purple Steve says and I see a few tears roll down his face. (I'm actually crying as I write this..)

"... Blue Steve will be okay, I know he will. He's strong willed, and I will do anything in my power to help him," I say, surprising everyone. "I'm going to go get you some water, Rainbow Steve, your voice is all scratchy," Sabre says and then walks out of the door; not letting me say another word. "I'm going to watch over him until he gets better, but you guys should rest. I'll be fine, don't worry," I say as believable as I can, with my voice not helping my case any. Both Yellow Steve and Purple Steve nod before walking back out, Yellow Steve comforting Purple Steve. The two of them must be close..

I walk over to the side of the bed that Blue Steve is at, and I sit on the edge. I brush his hair out of his face to show where his usually playful eyes are; just to meet his eyelids. I sigh softly as I look at him, soon the door opens. Sabre comes walking in, and is holding a bottle of water in his hands.

He hands it to me and I happily take it before taking gulps of it. Sabre just stands there, awkwardly, and I finish the bottle of water completely. "Do you need any more water?" Sabre asks, and I shake my head.

"Can I have some.. Alone time?" I ask softly and meet where Sabre's eyes would be. He looks stunned for a moment, before nodding and walking out of the room.

I pull up the chair right next to Blue Steve, and look at him. A few tears let themselves out of my eyes and roll down my cheek. I lean down, and kiss Blue Steve's forehead softly.

~Blue Steve's POV~

For one last time, the blue light is all I see and when it fades I slowly open my eyes. The room I'm in is dark, only a few torches lighting the dimly lit area. I'm looking up for the most part, and I see a starry sky.

My throat is dry and feels like it's on fire with every breath I take; so I sit up. When I sit up, I see Rainbow Steve, sitting in a chair. As soon as he notices I'm up, he runs over and hugs me. I hug him back, cautious of his injuries. The hug is comforting, and seems.. Familiar..

~~~

Kinda short, but I want to get this out.

Also, I did a Q&A whenever I hit 150 followers, which was like, Tuesday; and I'm already at 194!! How the heck is that possible?!

I know, I haven't updated in a while; I did it for two reasons:

1) I needed some time to work on all the writing, without wrecking myself to get this stuff out for y'all.

2) My life has been pretty hectic lately and I don't like it.

But, I'm going to not go this long without updating; but I'm not staying with a schedule. Thank you everyone who votes, comments, or just reads this; it means so much!! I love you guys!
