Chapter 2: Blossoming Hearts 02

Aldrich is shaking vigorously holding the support rail as he attempts to walk "sir please don't hurt yourself this is only to see how much you can do" "It's fine (Aldrich wheezing) I'll do as much as possible mam" he drops only three feet in. The nurses run over and pull him back to his chair, Myu looks on worried she rolls over and scribbles down (are you ok) " I'm fine, didn't know you worried". Myu's face turns red "Miss your up" Aldrich starts hollering " you can do it keep going" "Sir please be mindful of the other patients" "How can I be quiet look at her pushing herself ". Myu falls after her first step, Aldrich slowly goes up to her "you did amazing". "Ok, now that we have seen where you are in terms of walking I'll say it's gonna be a couple of months before your normal". They begin to head back to their rooms "How about we go for a little stroll outside I hear there's a great pond" Myu writes down (Ok let's go) they head out and down the rock path. "Holy hell I didn't think it would be that tiring to get here" they turn to the pond "it's beautiful" Aldrich stands up grunting and shaking he holds out his hand to a panicking Myu " well don't you wanna sit in the grass" she grabs hold as Aldrich pulls her up Myu stumbles forward nearly falling as Aldrich grabs and pulls her in her face against his chest as his arms hold her by the waist. Their hearts begin to pound "Are you ok" Myu holds tightly to Aldrich's chest and nods yes, Aldrich slowly lowers to the ground and they both sit. Still holding each other sitting on their knees "I don't know if it's mutual but Myu I..I...I truly like you, I don't know when it started but I like you Myu" Aldrich squeeze tightly with a worried look on his face eyes clenched shut. Myu lifts her head her face bright red moves her hands to his face, Aldrich opens his eyes looking down seeing her with tears, he moves his hand to the side of her face using his thumb to wipe away her tears Aldrich pulls her in and they kiss falling to the ground lock together. Embarrassed Myu pulls her face against Aldrich's chest, as her rest his head on her head. Their hearts calming they sit there intertwined Myu rolls back grabbing her clipboard (I like you as well) Aldrich pulls her back in and holds her. They drift asleep holding one another. (Beep Beep Beep) Aldrich's watch goes off waking the two "damn it's time for dinner" Aldrich helps Myu back to her chair before getting on his, the two return to the center. Myu notices Aldrich glancing around during dinner and spacing out (What is it?) he looks at it then looks away "M..Myu d...do you want to say in my room" Aldrich puts his head in his lap, Myu stunned by the proposal turns red as her heart begins to race. Myu thinks to herself (I know we confessed earlier but isn't this going to fast I mean he already to my first kiss now this) Aldrich pulls his head up seeing her flustered state "it's not like that I just wanted to sleep with you in my arms again". Myu spreads her fingers covering her eyes (next time say it differently jeez) he smiles "inside or outside" (inside). Myu gets into bed scooting to the wall, Aldrich gets in behind her wrapping his arms around her he pulls himself in Myu turns over. Their hearts racing Aldrich looks at Myu's eyes. Myu pulls herself into his chest curling up, clenching his shirt she begins wailing, sniffling, and trembling "let the pain out there's no need to hold it in when we're together so please let it out", he embraces Myu tightly caressing her hair "it might seem strange but the first this I noticed when I awoke was your beautiful hair, its snow-white color with the red strands, the lovely braid on the side it even feels like silk. then your eye's I felt bad at first seeing them but after hearing I didn't affect your vision all I could see is how beautiful they were" Myu begins to calm down, she raises her head her face puffy and eyes red, Myu smiles kissing Aldrich his left hand holding her head and his right whipping her tears. "we should sleep" Myu peacefully nods as they drift to sleep.
