In a taunting manner Mingzhu gave a gasp and sat back down on the bed beside him. “Oh really? Promise me I’m going to get what exactly? You aren’t exactly detailed in that.” She smirked up at Cloud lying halfway on her side next to him prompting her head up by a fist, her leg overlapping the other. “This bed is kinda comfy, gimme some of the blanket you cover hog!” Mingzhu laughed slipping under the blanket without giving him a moment to object. It was strange how she could be so open around this guy freely. Even in moments he made her nervous on the hot seat she didn’t mind his attention. She used her arm as a pillow snuggling down on the mattress. “Sharing is caring so don’t fess you girl. God I’m going to fall asleep again I just know it. Hey Cloud…once you’re all better I’ll buy you some pocky.” Mingzhu mumbled off tiredly eyes slowly falling against her stubborn will to stay awake. “I was wondering earlier…how did you stop that guy? A guy with a gun none of the less. And…your aura is so different than from others…that’s what I like about you.” She smiled up at him lying down on her stomach now leaving her arms folded at her chest.

Cloud started to panic when she practically started taking over his bed, unable to prevent the blush that started appearing on his face. Sure, he was always flirting with girls and getting a kick out of them, but he had never had a girl hang around him like this before. What was worse was that he could feel her warmth clearly since his upper body was only covered in bandages where they were needed. So, instead of answering her, afraid that she might notice his slight nervousness, he turned his head away and stared out the window again, ignoring her first question. But when she started talking about pocky, auras, and liking, he began to get slightly confused. Didn't she hate him or something? It was the only thing that came to mind since she liked to abuse him and get frustrated with everything he did. He scratched the side of his lightly as he thought, wondering why she wasn't going to go home when it was getting light out. "Let's just say... I know what I'm doing most of the time.." he murmured.

Sleepy…sleepy-AH! Bmp! Bmp! Bmp! What the hell?! His heartbeat is going wild! I can hear it only three inches away from him! Mingzhu hovered over Cloud a finger poked his cheek for attention. “You okay? You’re kinda panting like a dog there and your heart is going wild, you have a fever or something Cloud?” She asked worriedly, she sat up on the bed to level up on him more. “You’re all flushed in the cheeks! Let me get you a wet towel before you really do come down with a fever.” Her voice full of alarm as she slid out of the bed hurriedly over to the restroom for a few seconds then returned with a wet cloth. She sat back down beside him in the chair plopping the cloth right on his forehead carefully.

Cloud almost jumped out of his skin when Mingzhu started moving about, fussing over him having a- "What? A fever?" he asked, confused at her conclusion. Then he felt his face burning again and forgotten that he had been nervous just a few seconds ago. "Ah-uh.. Chya, a fever! Wow, I didn't realize it. You're good, you know that. Maybe you should be a nurse or something.." He sputtered the words out quickly, keeping himself from making eye contact with her as she moved back toward him and plopped the rag on his forehead. Grateful for the cooling effect of the water, he let out a breath and finally looked at her with a sheepish grin. Was I panting like a dog? I didn't realize it. Jesus what's happening to me? Maybe I got infections or some disease is invading my brain and making me act really weird. God, that's so stupid.. he thought, wishing he could hit his head against the wall or something. "Ah.. no bigs, y'know. Fevers are nothing."

“Pfft, maybe not to you but I was always sick when I was in middle school with fevers and stuff. Hated it- let’s say that kinda puts a dent into your social life after awhile but I got better around 8th grade luckily. If you didn’t even notice you had a fever then it can’t be too serious, do you feel dizzy or anything?” Mingzhu tilted his chin up looking for signs of fever then grabbed his palm into hers. “Well your hands aren’t clammy so that’s a good sign. God, if you keep this up you’re going to worry me to death. First you being a pincushion with some bullets then a fever- you enjoy doing this to me don’t you?” She gave a fake glare at him and smirked at him folding her legs underneath her.

Cloud raised a brow at her as if to say she was stupid. "Uh, yeah! It keeps you from beating me to a bloody pulp. Plus I can't help it if I get random fevers. In fact, I think-SHIT!" He clapped a hand to his chest where his heart was, faking pain and expressions. "AH! Heart attack! Damn you for being too nice! I think I might keel over the edge of this bed and die!" he said. Pausing in the middle of his act, he opened an eye and looked up at her with amusment in his icy blue gaze and a grin on his face. "Okay, so no heart attack. You can't blame me for trying!" Cloud shrugged his shoulders lightly, but regretted it when a sharp needle-like pain threatened his shoulder. Damn bullets...

Not finding his act very funny Mingzhu folded her arms sitting back on his bed and glared daggers at Cloud fuming at his behavior. “You do realize once you’re out of this hospital I’m putting you right back in it, don’t you? To make me worry is one thing but to do that you’re simply being a…a…a immature jerk!” She mumbled under her breath then looked at him worriedly sensing he was in pain for a moment. “Don’t push your self dork. Lay down and relax would ya? Not like I’ve been telling you to do that since I got here- you don’t listen too well do you?” Mingzhu hummed smartly at him her hands gently pressed him down away from his bullet wounds. God his smile…ah! Bad thought, bad thoughts! Focus on the wounded patient here Ming! Blushed cheeks glowed in faint pink in the dimmed room, Mingzhu cleared her throat and scooted back away from him now fully aware of his body warmth and his revealing chest suddenly. “Shit…” She mouthed to herself looking away from his hypnotic crystal eyes.

Cloud laid there and thought for a moment; she was always telling him to relax, take it easy, and whatnot whenever he felt pain. He had been paying attention that much, at the least. And then she'd be giving him funny looks out of the blue. Did this have a connection with that aura thing she was talking about earlier? "Hey, Ming. What was that stuff about auras and you liking me because of it and all that? You just kinda muttered it out of the blue and it's been on my mind since then," he questioned, although it was only a good ten or so minutes ago. But that's how long he had been thinking about it, if not forgetting it for a couple of minutes. It was just strange to him how she up and talks about.. auras. It wasn't necessarily something you'd talk about every day, or hear from someone.

“Huh? What are you talking about Cloud? Auras?” Mingzhu asked honestly off track, she didn’t remember mumbling nonsense when she was dozing off. Did I tell him something I didn’t mean to? I don’t usually blab off about my power even if I’m sleepy- God, now I’m all nervous as of what I said to him now. She thought, her eyes directed over into his thoughtfully before concluding on to a new topic. “And since when are you allowed to give me a nickname? I don’t remember approving you using Ming and it’s hardly fair since I don’t have a nickname for you either.” Mingzhu gave him a playful smirk and lay back down on the bed right by him lying on her back this time.
What was that stuff about auras and you liking me because of it and all that?
Liking you? Heh- must had been really out of it. To say something like that...

Cloud was taken aback by her asnwer, wondering if he was starting to hear things now. But he was sure he had heard her mumble those words! Maybe he really was going crazy in a hospital. Or maybe she has things she doesn't want to talk about.. Oh well, no use in pushing. She's stubborn enough as it is. He glanced off to the side when she took her place in his bed again, letting out a slow breath to make sure he didn't show any signs of a 'fever' again. "Okay, if you're really that picky about it, I won't call you Ming ever again. It was just easier to say than Mingzhu, y'know," he said, teasing her slightly. He blinked, and at once, his eyes felt heavy. How much real sleep had he gotten since his surgery? Two or three hours? Man that bites... I don't wanna just fall asleep on her though.. But, against his will, they began to close.

“Actually I don’t mind if you call me that…as long it’s you I guess. Cloud?” Mingzhu lifted her head up looking over at Cloud to find him asleep. “Guess you should get some sleep. Heh…” She said lightly and laid back down switching over to her side a hand placed on his chest while her head used his arm as a pillow. I guess I can stay a little longer even if it’s getting bright outside… Just a little longer with him is okay. Mingzhu smiled and fell asleep shortly after him.

Cloud woke up, warmer than he was used to, and much more awkward than ever. The last he remembered immediately was being in the hospital, but was it normal for someone to lay in a hospital bed on their side and be.. cuddling!? And what else was he doing--kissing what? His eyes flew open and saw nothing but skin and he quickly glanced up to see Mingzhu's sleeping face, then noted that his face was just below her neck. "Holy-god-cow!" he yelled as he detached himself from her and scrambed backward faster than a rabbit could run for it's home and fell to the floor, dragging most of the banket with him. Sucking in his breath as he sat up, he rubbed the back of his head and looked around, wondering how it was possible for him to do that while sleeping. Note to self, never let a friend-or a girl, for that matter-sleep in the same bed as you when you're in a hospital or.. well..anywhere.. Cloud then glanced down at his shoulder, seeing a spread of red that was growing every few seconds. "Whoa... I'm bleeding. Heh..."

What’s this feeling? Kinda tickles…heh, wait- AH! Mingzhu bolted up at the sudden shake of the bed to hear a loud thud on the ground. She crawled over to the edge blinking down at Cloud confusedly. “You okay? What the hell are you doing down there? Ah! Your shoulder- I mean you’re bleeding!” Her eyes pinpointed at his shoulder in panic before she found herself jumping off the bed to crouch down in front of him. “God, you can’t behave for one minute without hurting yourself. C’mon Cloud, let’s get you back on the bed for one thing then we’ll have a nurse check your shoulder.” She instructed grabbing his arm with the uninjured shoulder to hook around her neck and slowly helped him up over to the bed. Mingzhu grabbed the blanket and put back on top of him then ran a hand through her hair sitting on the bottom. “God, that’s one way to wake up in the morning. You gave me a heart-attack seriously…are you okay though?”

"Yeah, I'm fine. I could have managed on my own, but thanks for your concern. I-uh.. um.. got too close to the edge of the bed?" he said, hoping that would be valid enough reasoning for his fall over the bed. "Plus it really doesn't hurt. They're kinda numb, to be honest. My injuries, I mean.. heh, you know.." Cloud coughed, glancing around the room. At least she didn't notice it. Or did she? Hopefully not. Maybe if she did, she would have pummeled me by now. So maybe I should be praying for my good fortune? he thought, going back to memory lane of only a couple of minutes ago. It was strange how he had woken up like that; since when did he have dreams that he actually played out in real life? Was it because he was actually sleeping with a real girl and not his pillow? Oy.. I need to lay off the drugs they give me. No more of that stuff...

Mingzhu’s hand lingered on the spot where she felt a tingling sensation on her neck then looked up at Cloud pondering over his strange behavior. “Uh, sure…whatever. You’re acting kinda weird, did I miss something or you trying to hide something maybe? Eh Cloud?” She smirked at him inching closer to him then finally she poked a certain part of his chest going around the bullet wounds. “Hm, I guess not. You would had cracked or something by now if you were hiding something. You’re weak willed.” Mingzhu pointed out to him lips musing a taunting smile and scooted back from him giving back his space. “Can’t believe I fell asleep again. My neck was tickling and everything, wonder if it was the blanket or something maybe.” She thought outloud examining the sheets then shrugged her shoulders.
