A Way We Fight (Book 2 Of The A Way To Win Series)

Chapter 36: Waking Up

Tyr's vision would often clear and go blurry again, and sometimes he would blink and be in a different room from where he was in.
It was quiet where he was, too quiet that it pestered with him, he wasn't used to it. He could barley find the strength to turn his head, let alone a finger but from what his vision would limit, he was back at base.
"Ji...su..." Tyr forced through cracked lips. Nothing but silence responded and his ears began ringing. He tried to sit up but none of his body would budge. Everything hurt, then again, he did break two ribs, and maybe something else if not lucky.
He let out a large breath and cringed as pain shot through his body. He sat still trying to breathe as little as possible and almost fell asleep but it quickly stopped. He didn't allow himself to sleep no matter how much he wanted or needed to do so. He couldn't keep his eyes open for more than a few seconds before he blinked, no burst of strength came if he used his power, he felt restrained from using- doing anything. He felt imprisoned not being able to do much. It was something he never felt...a panic attack. His breathing became hard and his body began hurting more. He brought his hands to his face but never realized he was actually able to move them after concluding he wasn't able to move anythiing but his head. A sweat broke out on his brow and he constantly wiped it and pulled the cover off of him revealing a pair of shorts being the only thing covering his body. He felt his body, pain in the side; obviously but also felt a large bandage on his cheek, noticing a few bandages on his fingers for the first time, one being on the palm on his hand. He heard himself calling Jisu's name out over and over in fear.
A minute later, Jisu came through the door running and ignored even touching the stairs leading to the main area and kept running to Tyr. She didn't get a chance to say or do anything, not even cry with joy at his awakening before Tyr pulled her head next to his in a hug.
"Jisu...Jisu...Jisu..." He found himself repeating before letting go.
Jisu got on the bed next to him, removing her shoes and hugged him, keeping him like that. Tyr felt tears falling down his cheeks, leaving his chin and dripping onto Jisu or the bed. "It's alright... i'm here...i'm glad that you woke up. It's been two days..." Jisu's soothing voice said.
"I'm sorry...for worrying..you. I..."
Jisu stroked his hair and gently kissed his head continuing to keep him in a hug to calm him.
"Don't speak...just be quiet...you've been through a lot so it's alright to cry." Jisu said.
Tyr kept silent as Jisu began humming as a mother would maybe do to a child. The tone and volume was soothing and soon enough Tyr felt himself begin to doze off. Jisu continued this and stroked his hair until he finally fell asleep.
She carefully got out of the bed and began to put her shoes on. "Please...don't leave me alone..." She heard Tyr say.
"Geez...I thought you were resting...can I at least tell the others that I'll stay in here...?" Jisu asked.
Tyr didn't respond and Jisu sighed, "Alright you big baby...i'll stay here." Jisu smiled, pulling the cover onto the both of them and putting her arm around his neck.

"Jisu?"
Mari turned in Jisu's direction and she held a finger up to her mouth motioning for them to be quiet.
The group quietly walked over and examined Tyr.
"What happened? Why didn't you tell us you were coming over here?" Mari asked.
"He woke up. Tyr called my name...you guys didn't hear it but I did. He had cried out my name...he was crying, he was scared. It was the first time I had seen him visually scared in a long time...or at all. He didn't want me to leave him alone," Jisu replied, stroking Tyr's hair gently.
He slightly moved in his sleep, but nothing else.
"He's been through a lot. Two broken ribs, a bruise on his face, and cuts on his hands and fingers from holding the sword. Everything will heal but the hands will leave permanent scars." Mari said.
"I don't care. As long as he's alright," Jisu instantly replied.
"Ok," Mari sighed, "At least try to get some sleep now. We can all greet him in the morning."
Jisu hesitated before nodding, saying that they would all say hello in the morning.
At least an hour passed and Jisu was the only one awake, laying next to Tyr.
"Please...just be better in the morning, I can't take to see you injured." Jisu kissed Tyr's forehead.

Morning arrived slowly and Tyr woke up still exhausted. He managed to turn his body to face Jisu who was already awake, glancing at him. She entwined hands with Tyr and smiled, "Good morning my love. How do you feel?" Jisu whispered.
Tyr shrugged, "I still hurt...but a bit less."
Jisu opened her arms and pulled Tyr into her breasts, "That's good. If you're able to move today I want to take you somewhere, ok?"
Tyr nodded and wrapped his arms around Jisu. Jisu pulled the covers up over them and pulled Tyr up, pressing her lips onto his. "I've missed you. And your lips." Jisu quietly giggled, putting a finger onto his lip.
She pulled Tyr back into her breasts, pulling her bra strap off her shoulder and pushing a breast against his cheek.
Tyr purposely took the bait and pulled the nipple into his mouth.
He began sucking on her breast like a baby as Jisu stroked his head, ultimately deciding to have him in a hug. Tyr slid the rest of the bra off but didn't bother squeezing her breasts before burying his head in between them. "I see your perverted side is still intact."
"Well...enjoy it...I don't think it'll stick around much longer." Tyr responded situating himself.
Jisu stroked Tyr's head again and kissed it, "Then at least do something perverted if it's the last time it's gonna happen."
Tyr looked at her, "Later."
Jisu sighed and moved off of him, laying down on her side of the bed.
"What?"
"Huh? Nothing...I..."
Tyr pulled her toward him and gently kissed her, "I'm looking forward to where you take me."
