THE VOID

((Josephine rests on the chair besides hero's bed, she is desperately trying to keep her eyes open. He woke up. They said, he woke up and he called for her. He called for her and she wasn't there. She sighs softly, riddled with anger that she wasn't here. He was awake, for five minutes before he was out of it again. Maybe if she had been here, maybe her voice, her face.. her presence would have kept him awake. She won't make the same mistake again, she refuses to leave his side. Tears slide down her cheeks as she keeps her eyes on him. He's being stubborn, he's torturing her. She walked away with a few scraps and bruises but here her love lays, unconscious. She silently wishes she could trade with him, it should be her. That thought continues to play on her mind, chipping away at her. It should be her in this bed right now))

Josephine: ((tugs on the blanket, pulling it up slightly. She can't seem to get comfortable on this small chair)) "Fuck it" ((she whispers as she stands, she takes her shoes off and sits on the side of the bed. She gently, lays her body on the side of hero's, her head now resting on his chest)) "I love you" ((she frantically whispers, as her body relaxes))

((A nurse checks in shortly after but Josephine has already drifted off to sleep. She can't bring herself to disturb her, so let's it slide. Only placing an extra blanket, over the sleeping couple. The room darkens, hospital noises faint in the background. The moons light, illuminating them and only them. Sweet snores fall from Josephine, as Hero's breaths becoming deeper))

Hero: ((feels a weight on his chest, but it's not painful or tight. It's a comforting weight, soothing and healing. His eyes begin to open, flickering. As they become more stable, he takes in his surroundings. He almost begins to panic noticing, he's in a hospital room. Visions of Felix crying over Mark's dying body flood his mind. His heart begins to race and he feels himself beginning to sweat. He tries to move his body but there is no luck, he is still very weak. As the panic starts to worsen, his eyes fall down and fixate on something)) "Josephine" ((the name falls from his lips, without him realising. His body reacts automatically and he calms, she's here. He moves his arm and runs his hand down the side of her face. He brushes her hair to the side, to see her more clearly. She looks so peaceful, so beautiful)) "My, Josephine" ((he whispers, placing a small kiss on top of her head. He shifts slightly and cuddles her body closer to his and feels his eyes close))

                                    {The next morning}

Josephine: ((yawns lightly as she shifts her body, she places her hand flat on Hero's chest))

Hero: ((smiles at the gesture and moves his hand, placing it over hers))

Josephine: ((her heart leaps at his touch and she sighs before looking up at him)) "Morning" ((she offers before resting her head back down))

Hero: ((holds in a laugh, he is waiting for her to notice))

Josephine: ((her mind feeling less cloudy, he's awake... he's awake. He's AWAKE)) "Hero" ((she gasps looking up at him))

Hero: "Hey, baby" ((he responds with his usual smirk resting across his face))

Josephine: ((her heart jumps at the use of a pet name, but then eases seeing a smirk she has missed for so long)) "Hi" ((is all she can add, before she reaches up and begins to plant a kiss on his lips))

Hero: ((his lips quiver, it feels like a lifetime without her. He returns the kiss, his body firing up with her touch))

Josephine: ((pulls aways from the kiss, hearing a noise from outside the room. As she lifts her head and takes in his face, she can't help but begin to sob)) "Don't ever scare me like that again" ((she says tapping him lightly on the chest))

Hero: ((can't help seeing her cry, his eyes becoming watery)) "I won't" ((he offers, wiping away her tears)) "I promise" ((he adds holding up his pinky))

Josephine: ((giggles softly, before raising her pinky and accepting his promise))
