Chapter Twentyfour

Ron's POV

As I contemplated whether I'd entered the Twilight Zone, I heard a voice saying, "I love you more, Ron." Now, either I've developed a secret admirer, or this hospital's intercom system is getting way too personal. But before I could investigate further BAM! Someone smacked me upside the head. 

I glanced up to find (Y/N) looking at me, eyes wide open. Without missing a beat, I leaped up and planted kisses all over her face like a hyperactive puppy. Hey, if this is a dream, might as well make it a good one, right?

"(Y/N)! Oh wait, Am I dead or you're dead or we're both dead? Are we in heaven?" I asked.

She gave me a death stare.

"You're too much of a sinner to enter the gates of heaven, Ron. We are very much alive if you are wondering..."

I stared at (Y/N) in disbelief. "You're on the brink of death and yet you woke up savage?" I exclaimed, shaking my head in mock outrage. "Where's the defibrillator when you need it? I might have to shock you back to your senses to make sure you're really (Y/N) and not some evil spirit pulling a fast one on us." 

I glanced around the room, half expecting some ghostly figure to pop out and start twerking or something. "Seriously, if this is some kind of prank, you've got some serious explaining to do!"

Her chuckle echoed softly in the room, filling the space with warmth and joy. Caught in the enchantment of her laughter, I couldn't resist the magnetic pull drawing me to her. With a surge of emotion, I rushed to her side, gently cupping her cheeks in my hands. Leaning in, I pressed my lips to hers in a tender kiss, savoring the sweetness of the moment.

There was a playful twinkle in her eyes. "What was that for?" she asked, her voice filled with curiosity. 

I couldn't help but smile at her. 

"I never thought I'd see your smile again," I confessed, my voice soft with emotion. "And I couldn't resist the urge to kiss you while you were smiling. It's like sunshine breaking through the clouds on a rainy day—irresistible and heartwarming."

Just as I was about to lean in for another kiss, the door burst open and in barged Toto, tears streaming down his face and snot dribbling from his nose like a broken faucet. "Is it true? (Y/N)'s already awake?" he blubbered, his voice a mix of excitement. I couldn't help but chuckle at the sight, though I tried to hide it behind a mask of concern. "Yes, it's true," I replied with a grin, trying not to laugh at the spectacle before me. "But if you keep crying like that, you might flood the whole hospital!" With a playful wink, I gestured for him to come closer.

I couldn't help but chuckle at Toto's dramatic reaction. He dropped to his knees like he'd just seen a ghost, and I had to practically drag him back to his feet. "Come on, man, get it together," I joked, trying to lighten the mood. But when we finally made it to (Y/N)'s bedside, Toto's tears started flowing again. He grabbed her hand and launched into this whole speech about how she better not scare us like that again. "Seriously, (Y/N), do you have any idea what you put us through?" he said, his voice cracking with emotion. "I thought I was gonna have a heart attack driving you to the hospital! I swear, I aged 10 years in those 10 minutes!" I couldn't help but laugh at his over-the-top theatrics, but deep down, I was just grateful to see (Y/N) awake and (relatively) well.

"Slay." (Y/N) responded. 

As I stood there, surrounded by Toto and (Y/N), the warmth of the moment washed over me, and I felt a tear slip down my cheek. It wasn't just about (Y/N) waking up—it was about the shared joy and relief we all felt in that moment. And in that instant, I found myself wishing for nothing more than to freeze time, to hold onto this feeling of togetherness forever. "I hope we can always be like this," I murmured, my voice thick with emotion. "Laughing, crying, and supporting each other through it all. I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world."
