~Y/N's Pov~

The world was spinning, and the last thing I remember was water in my mouth and all around me. Was I dead? Suddenly the light began to focus and I saw him... Ein. I realized I was resting my head on his lap, which still felt warm from the hot springs.

"You alright?" He looked concerned.

I nodded, still trying to process what happened.

"You tried to go in the deep end, or at least I figure what happened." He was rubbing my ears, soothing my panicky state.

That's what happened... I remember now. I was trying to see if there was going to be any way to see where the bubbles are coming from...

"I was looking for the bubbles." I said, slightly embarrassed from my stupidity.

"Oh..." He laughs slightly and continues stare at me, my head still resting gently on his warm lap.

My eyes wandered his scar-filled body, reminding me of the tragedy that had unfolded before. I also realized he was now working out, trying to be better then before. He's really-

"Are you staring?" He smirked a little and I shrugged.

"I'm just thinking if you've been working out again." I said, and he nods.

"I want to be strong and not feel weak and frail anymore. What happened set me back a lot, and now I want to push harder even more to become stronger."

"Good." I laugh a little and sit up, the world spinning a little yet.

"Want to feel just to make sure its not any weird injections?" He chuckled a little.

"Uhm..." I look down and scratch my neck slightly.

My tomboy personality faded away as I became embarrassed... I kinda wanted to just... be close to him. He made me feel warm and fuzzy, just like being happy. He's such a great friend and he knows how to make me laugh and be happy.

"Oh common..." I felt him pull me close and my face grows in color. I could feel his chest against mine and our foreheads now accidentally touching.

"Your a little close Ein..." I said and he shushed me.

"Wait... Be quiet." He whispers and covers my mouth. I begin to hear voices, and it sounded like four of them too...

"Well, he wasn't at the pool now was he?" One said, which sounded very masculine.

"No! And I shouldn't have listened because he does that a lot for peace!" A voice said, obviously Jax.

"Your not kidding." Ryder said.

"Could he have went to this cave?" Another male voice said and Ein began to pick me up and set my feet and the ground.

"You have to listen to me, I need you to fake kiss me." He whispered and I was sure that now my face was as red as it could possibly go.
