He hadn’t expected to see her so suddenly. Or even at all for that matter. Last he’d checked of her, she was still held up at the hospital and though he lacked the courage to ever go back in and visit her—ever since that day. He never once stopped thinking about her. Every waking moment of his day, he had thoughts of her. And sure, his daily life forced him out of his thoughts every now and again but the vision of her pretty face was always a constant. No matter what he did, there was going to be no getting away from her. Funny, how what the informant had told him previously held truth to it.

The few moments they’d had in his hospital bed, just holding each other, taking comfort in each other’s embrace, it was pretty hard to remember the one you loved. Or rather, was still in love with.
He didn’t look much different, maybe a little bit taller, but other than that it was still the same. Same honey colored eyes, blonde hair falling just a bit in his eyes, same adorable embarrassed blush dusting his cheeks. Saki nodded twice and let her gaze fall as her hand sought his, a smile creeping onto her own lips feeling her smaller grasp in his own again finally.
“Yeah, I can walk just fine now, there were no repercussions from the injuries thankfully. I’ve been staying at a friend’s home for awhile now, trying to stay safe now, stay away from things. I missed you though, I’ve been worrying about you since I left the hospital, I didn’t know where you’ve been staying. I didn’t hear anything, so–…”
