Two Friends, One Arm, No Patience [Closed]

As her eyes opened, the Lieutenant had literally fallen back on the ground on the other side in relief. As such, she didn't see him as she got up, saying his name and moving towards the door as the Lieutenant shot up from the ground, before leaping over the bed and catching her wrist with his right hand, his left still in its sling. "...And where do you think you're going?" He asked her with a smile on his face, letting go of her hand, his appearance back to that of which it had been that morning. In fact, he had even slept on the floor by the bed; she had been out of it all night and when he had tried to lay down next to her, Piero had yelled at him, so he had slept on the floor. He looked up at her with a smile on his face. "We delivered it!"

He blinked, wondering why in the world he would be yelling at her in a dream. "...It wouldn't have been yelling at you, it would have been yelling for you. .. Let's just say that my arm is still in a cast and leave it at that." He said as she held a hand to her head, before she leaped over the bed and hugged him. The closeness was strange; and yet, it was comfortable, as after a moment of awkwardness, he laid his hands back around her, hugging her back before she let him go. He could hear her mumbled thanks; it confused him, as he was pretty sure that she would be more excited. However, he decided to trust her.

"...Um... we're in my hospital room." Kuro said as he sat down on the bed, smoothing out the covers. "They thought... or rather I... Insisted, that you shouldn't be moved." He said, looking down at the ground, although he wasn't quite sure why, before he looked back up at her. "...I didn't want you to get hurt worse. After all... you've become my special friend..." He said in a quiet voice, but loud enough for her to hear, before his voice fell to silence... and he found himself hoping...

...that she felt the same way about him...

Kuro blinked at her as it seemed she fazed out, and he picked up a hand, waving it in front of her face with a worried look on his own. "Hello... Kaminari... Hello...?" He asked her, before standing up and honestly worrying for a second that she was feeling pain from the wound on her back, an extremely worried look crossing his face for a moment before it eventually passed, as she returned back to her normal looks. He sat back on the bed, actually thinking as she spoke to him.

"...I actually might know to some extent how much that means to you." He said as she returned what he had said, as he looked up, his gaze clear and his eyes round as he blinked innocently back at her. "...Because I've not had a special friend before. Or a normal one, for that matter. ..." He was silent for a moment, before he looked at her, a devious look on his face as he struck a single finger out, poking her lightly in the belly.

"...And you called me Kuro. Which is fine by me." He said as he laughed a small amount, looking to himself as he waited to see her reaction.

Kuro blinked as she gripped his hand, his finger still on her belly as he looked her in the eyes, blinking. he felt something strange as he moved his left arm, sliding it out of the cast as he threw it around her sitting form, the two injured persons close together as she held his right hand in her own, and he supported her wounded back with his injured arm, as an actual tear ran down his face. "...I know." He whispered as he put his head on her shoulder, closing his eyes, as he just enjoyed the moment, he himself fully realizing that he also had come to trust her... which was strange for him. He realized that she depended on him... and he valued that dependence and trust. She really is... a special person to me. He thought to himself, blinking, as he felt himself beginning to doze off once more... But this time, on Kaminari's shoulder, his face lacking a smile or a frown...

...merely, at peace...
