Missing In Action

***

Hey, Familia of the Closet! Sorry I died, school started and things started pilling themselves upon my plate. But anyway, I am here with new and mediocre content. I have nothing else to say, so... Happy Crismas. It's Crimsis. Merry Crisis. Happy Chrysler. (If you don't get this reference, you are uncultured). Love you all! <3

"Hey, Kazuto?" Asada whispered.

"What?" I asked. Asada took a smooth, deep breath.

"I love you." She said. I grinned wider than the Mediterranean Sea.

"I love you too." I booped her nose with mine. She blushed madly. She symbolically moved over in her bed, implying she wanted me next to her. I stood up and slipped into the bed, spooning her. She squirmed into the spooning until she found the perfect position.

"So comfy and warm. I missed this." She muttered.

"Yeah." I hummed. We stayed there even after the doctor came back. He looked at our sleeping bodies and smiled amusingly.

"Ahem." He cleared his throat. I jolted awake whereas Asada took her time. I sat up and looked at the doctor. Asada did the same.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Ms. Shino has a few visitors." He spoke as he slowly opened the door, revealing a woman and what seemed to be her daughter. The two walked in and stood at the foot of the bed. It suddenly hit Asada who they were.

"Sachie and Mizue Oosawa." Asada muttered. Sachie and Mizue are the mother-daughter duo that Asada saved in the post office years ago.

"Hello, Ms. Shino. We were visiting family in America when we got the call from Kazuto saying you and Suguha were in the hospital. When we heard, we rushed over as fast as we could." Sachie explained. Asada looked at me with a surprised face. I shrugged and slipped out of the bed. I gestured for Sachie and Mizue to have a seat in the chair. She sat down and placed Mizue in her lap. I walked over to the doctor's counter and hopped onto it.

"So, Ms. Sachie, how are you and Mizue doing?" I asked. Sachie turned her head to me.

"We're doing fine." Mizue suddenly answered. Asada looked at her and smiled. She held out my hands, gesturing for a hug. She hopped onto the bed and practically threw herself on Asada.

"Tss, ow." She winced. Mizue immediately had a guilty expression on her face.

"Sorry." She whined.

"No, no. It's okay." Asada grinned. She returned to Sachie and sat on her lap.

"Anyways, enough about us. Do you mind if we ask what happened?" Sachie asked. I looked over to Asada who's head hung low in fear. I shook my head.

"Just someone from my past coming back to haunt me." I avoided the truth. Asada whipped her head to me in surprise. I nodded. She flashed me a sweet smile.

"Oh, I see." Sachie answered.

"Mommy?" Mizue cooed. Sachie looked down to her daughter.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" She asked. Mizue leaned to her mother and whispered into her ear. Sachie nodded and looked to Asada. "Okay."

"What is it?" Asada asked.

"We hope you get well. Miss Mizue here is getting a little antsy." The two stood up and walked to the door. "If you guys need anything, just call."
