~Stay with me~ (ShinyaXAkane)

~ Chapter 7 ~

{Shinyas POV}
The drugs seemed to vanish completely and all at once. A could hear Akane softly breathing at a soft even pace. Is she sleeping or pretending? It didn't really matter, I opened my mouth to speak, but as I did so, nothing came out. I wiggled back and forth frustrated that I couldn't call out to Akane, trying to wake or grasp her attention. I grunted, realizing that if I kept working at speaking my, voice would warm up.

I grasped for the right words, I worked for those words to slip from my mouth and out into the world. Those words were " Akane, it's good to see you still up kicking" Dead set on saying these words of care and worry, my voice came gruff and deep. scratchy more than anything as I choked out the word "Akane ..." she flinched her head popping straight up, I could see the whites of her eyes. Wide with worry and sadness. "Shinya? Did you say some thing?" She choked out as I just did, but she had control of the volume and inflection in her warm sweet voice.

"y... yes" I strung the word in the air like a decoration, slow and painfully.My joints and body hurt every where, but with Akane only feet away from me seemed to ease all discomfort I had.I forced my now burning jaw open, " Akane, it's good to see you still up and kicking" I said this time sounding more human and less animal. She looked down, smiled and looked back up at me. "It's good to see you didn't runaway from me, I had my suspicions" she said in a whisper. "How have you been?" She asked looking into my eyes. "Well I've been in America, hiding and getting my share of new ass kicking tricks" I said fluently. "hoe is it in America?" She asked. "They hate Sybil more than ever so I fit in nicely" I said shifting in my chair. "Good good" she said "Now here's the thing, my restaurants are tied really loosely so I should be able to-" she said pulling her arms free from behind her. "Ha. This is looking good for us" she said as she untied her feet but she seemed to have been hurt because she was careful with her movements. "she stood up and walked over to me untying my arms. "Let's get the hell out of here" she said as my arms were released.
