"Uh, n-no. What would be there to miss if we both just woke up? And I'm not acting weird. It's um.. how I usually wake up on Friday mornings." Cloud turned onto his side so his face his hidden, already forgetting about his bleeding shoulder and that the blood could on the white sheets. I am so messed up, it isn't funny. I would have never done that, but why now? Why now of all times?!?! he thought, letting out a sigh. When he turned onto his back again, he wasn't aware that Mingzhu was practically in his face until he blinked a couple of times. Wisping his hand in front of him, he scowled and swung his legs over the edge as he sat up. "I am not weak willed! I'm-" But before he could finish his sentence, he went almost choked on his words as he replayed her last words in his mind. Dear god.. "I'm just restless," he finished, ruffling up his hair with both hands.

She poked his back gently clueless about Cloud’s behavior now. “Restless? I guess you got enough rest then. Want me to see when I can have the doctor check you out? You might have to stay another night possibly since you just had surgery and all.” Mingzhu said to converse unknowing what else to do. He’s acting really strange. I wonder if it’s because of me… Maybe I should go if he’s like this over my presence here. She sighed and stood up from the bed fixing the blanket properly on the bed. “Yeah…I think I should go and see the doctor now. Need anything…?”

Cloud glanced over at her, smirking. "Yeah, pocky. But that's a get-out-of-the-hospital present, eh?" he said, crossing his arms over his chest. Turning his eyes to the ground, he began moving his foot as if he had a beat in his head. Abruptly, he turned around and looked at Mingzhu. "Hey, um.. Sorry if I'm acting weird. It's just that.. I've.. got some things on my mind and I usually act different when I do so... yeah... Don't worry about it, okay? I just get a little distance sometimes." With that out, he sat down on the bed again, crossing his legs indian-style. It was only a matter of seconds before he laid back with his hands behind his head, starting to get really restless. "This is why I hate hospitals. You can become a mental patient if you stay in here too long; it's bad for your health, you know.."

Mingzhu stopped at the door and turned around giving him a smile. “It’s okay, just feel better okay? I’ll get you a get better pocky present while I’m out. If you’re still here by noon I’ll come to visit you, but right now you need some space.” She said walking over giving a small kiss on Cloud’s cheek and left the room the door quietly shut behind her. Wonder where I can get some pocky, strawberry pocky…hm.
I've.. got some things on my mind and I usually act different when I do so... What was going through his mind anyway? He was acting really weird I mean. Guess it's just me, I've only known him for a day so...

Cloud watched her leave, then turned onto his good side, one arm under his pillow while the other hung over the edge. Maybe it was from lack of sleep or the drugs, but he didn't want to think about it. It was only a day and she always keeps insisting she was the girl he knew, so what was it, then? Don't get involved... he told himself, staring out the window as the sun began to rise even further. He glanced at the clock on the wall, noting it was almost ten in the morning. "Ugh.. stupid time.." he muttered aloud. Closing his eyes, his best bet was to get some sleep before he was deprived of it. And if she managed to get pocky for him, then he'd probably be the happiest guy for as long as they would last.

Wonder if he's really alright. God, why am I so worried about him anyway? He's just someone I know- nothing more. Mingzhu walked down the hall her head hung down in thought over Cloud before colliding into another body and falling back helplessly on to her butt. “OW!” She winced her eyes shut before a familiar voice came out. “I’m sorry! I wasn’t looking, are you okay…Mingzhu? What are you doing here still? I would have thought you went home some time ago, oh here- sorry about that.” David held his hand out to her, which she accepted flying up back on her feet easily. “No that was my fault, sorry. I was just leaving after checking up on someone I know. What are you doing here though? Interns don’t usually stay this long do they?” She blushed taking her hand from his and fixed her skirt shyly, her heart wasn’t fluttering like earlier though. “I had to finish some paperwork and now I’m heading home. If you’re on your way out mind if I escort you?” He smiled friendly giving no bad vibe she could sense, Mingzhu returned the smile and placed a hand on his arm. “Yeah, I would like that a lot. Do you know where I can get some strawberry pocky by any chance?” She asked as they exited the hall into an elevator thankful for some company.

Cloud woke up a few hours later, slowly breaking through the dark daze of sleep. He had had another weird dream about the girl in his 'world,' but he still didn't remember a thing except that he did have a dream. With a yawn, Cloud looked off to his left to note the time; it was only about one in the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly through the window at him. "Geeze... I'm just stiff all over. This isn't cool at all.." he murmured, pushing himself into a sitting position, he rolled his neck and shoulders around to work out the stiffness. It was only a matter of seconds until he realized that the nurses must have come in and changed his bandages, because they were immaculate and barely blood-stained. Judging from the looks of the empty room, he guessed that Mingzhu hadn't come back and was probably at school like she should be. Letting his head hang slightly, he remembered earlier, and contemplated quietly.
The silence didn't last long when the door burst open and a girl came crashing through who he recognized immediately to be the one he had saved. "Mr. Cloud, I'm so happy you're okay! Are you feeling better? Are you injuries healing properly? You aren't sick, are you?" she interrogated worriedly, her hands clutching the sheets. Cloud just looked at her, dumbfounded and surprised, then cleared his throat.
"Uh, yeah. Much better. I'm hoping they'll let me out tod-what are you doing!?" He jerked his head back as she leaned closer, tears in her eyes.
"I-I-I'm so sorry! I wish you didn't get hurt, you should have just let him take me!" she sobbed. Cloud grimaced, but held a small smile on his face, beginning to get very frightened. No girl cried over getting saved; was she crazy or something?
"Um.. It's okay, really. I'm used to it.....sorta. I used to have a foster dad who worked as a cop, and I learned from him, so I knew what would happen. Don't get so worked up over it!" he said, trying to sound reassured. But it was no use; she collapsed into the chair, her face buried in her arms with one hand clutching the sheets and the other his hand. Oh god..

New Outfit:i37.photobucket.com/albums/e57/Dark-Sayuri/tom-boy.jpghurriedly and glanced down at her wristwatch in panic. God! I can’t believe I’m late when I left David half and hour early because I was worried over the idiot! And the stupid nurses just had to take over the elevators with their stupid food carts, forgot it was lunchtime here. She thought angrily taking a chance to catch her breath once she reached the level then continued down the hall. Before placing a hand on the door knob she took a moment to brushed her hair back into place and ran a finger over her lip lines evening her lip gloss. Cracking the door open slowly in case he was still asleep Mingzhu peaked in to find…a girl? He had a girl in his arms! Suddenly her heart sank a little in shock and disappointment closing the door back silently. Oh…I guess I don’t need to check up on him then. He has someone else to do that, heh- what the hell am I so gloomy for? Now I can relax at home… She thought barely able to lift a smile on her face leaving a bag full of strawberry pocky on the doorknob and hurried down the hall convincing herself she wasn't needed there and better to leave.

With an aggravated sigh, Cloud glared at the girl clinging to him, glad she was too busy crying to notice his frustration. He had sworn this was the last time he'd save a girl, period, and next time he'd just call the police and let them handle the situation so the girl would cry to them with worry. Seeing something out of the corner of his eye, he glanced toward the door, but it was closed when he thought it had been open. A question mark rose in his mind as he pondered, then glanced at the clock. Suddenly, he felt like he knew what it was and scrambled to get off of the bed, but the girl looked up and clung greedily to his arm. "Would you get the hell off of me! I don't care if you're worried or not!" he abruptly burst out, jerking his arm away and hurrying to the door in his cargo pants. Swinging the door open, he practically slid out into the hallway and almost fell if it wasn't for him placing a hand on the ground and leaping back up. And there she was, Mingzhu, walking down the hallway. "H-hey! Wait, why didn't you come inside? I've been waiting for you to get back for a good ten to fifteen minutes now so you can save me from that psychotic girl!" Cloud stood there, leaning over with a hand on his knee, trying to get back his breath. Was he that out of shape in the space of a day? Well, the bullet wounds don't help... he thought, glancing down at his waist to make sure he wasn't bleeding.

Mingzhu turned sharply at the sound of Cloud’s voice her heart fluttered from it. “Cloud!!! You idiot! You shouldn’t be doing that when you’re hurt!” She shouted running over to him putting his arm around her neck and walked him back down the hall to his room. “How did you know I was here? I just wanted to drop off your pocky, didn’t mean to interrupt anything…with that girl. Sorry.” She mumbled her cheeks red hot both from his warmth back on her skin again and her sudden realization of jealously over the girl from before. “So you were waiting huh? Were you that bored or something being alone in that room?” Mingzhu smirked a little picking up the bag of pocky on her way inside the room.

Cloud grimaced at another sharp pain as he straightened up, but toughed it out. "Alone? I was barely awake when that girl barged in. And when do you think I'd start picking up girls I randomly help on the street? She was all.. clingy and crying and stuff; it kinda creeped me out.." he muttered before they returned to the room. He eyed the pocky, but once he noted that the girl was still in the room, he straightened up completely and looked at her. He didn't want her to tackle him again, but he also didn't want to be any more rude than he already was.
"Mr. Cloud, thank god you're okay! You just ran out of the room and I was scared I did something and-"
"Hush! I'm fine, Lilah. I'm not dying or anything, so you don't need to panic like you are right now. Just.. give me some space or something and quit crying so hard," he said, taking a seat on the far side of the bed. He glanced over at Mingzhu, arching a brow, then snatched the back of pocky from her and sat indian-style. "And here I thought I was going to starve." Plucking one from the bag, he stuck it in his mouth, then glanced at Lilah, who was eyeing him with worry again as if she was about to cry. "U-uh, hey, Lilah. Why don't you.... go and tell the nurse that I'm up and okay now. Okay?" Nodding immediately, Lilah jumped from her seat and ran out of the door, intent on doing anything her savior asked. With a sigh, Cloud leaned back against the wall and ate his pocky happily, smirking at Mingzhu.

Mingzhu hurriedly shut the door after the girl and put the chair against it afraid of her obvious clingy behavior. “Um, Cloud- I’m glad you saved her and all but she’s kinda scary. Glad to see you like the pocky, got you plenty to last you for a while or I hope so. There’s like 5 whole boxes in the bag.” She laughed sitting beside him bringing her legs under her back rested against the wall. Her mood felt better already after he came after her, which confused her slightly. Why did she feel so relieve after all that? Mingzhu stole a pocky piece from his hand put it halfway in her mouth grinning at him. “Hah! Can’t have it!” She taunted Cloud her arms folded on her chest.

Cloud glanced at Mingzhu, a mischievous smirk appearing on his face. Of course it would be daring and he was probably asking for a good smack across the face or head, or even worse, a punch, but it would be worth it. Already finished with his own piece, he clasped Mingzhu's farthest shoulder and turned her body slightly toward him and leaned forward, taking most of the other half in his mouth, but not biting down. The smirk was still glued to his face and he couldn't help the fuzzy warm feeling he got in his stomach from their closeness. Blinking, his smirk began to fade the more time he spent staring at her and his grip on her shoulder loosened considerably. Suddenly shaking himself by mind, he bit down and backed away, a blush creeping onto his face as he settled his back against the wall again. Cloud couldn't exactly say anything at that moment, being to stricken by the sudden feeling he got; not only familiarity, but something more complex than that.

Mingzhu felt her heart hammer against her chest violently even after he pulled away almost forgetting how to breath. The piece of pocky in her mouth nearly fell from her gapped mouth before she snapped out of her little trance and went back to nibbling on her piece. I can’t believe Cloud just did that…stupid jerk. That would have been my first kiss if he did! God, stupid heart is going to burst. She felt her cheeks light up in crimson uncaring to calm herself this time, daring to say something to break the silence Mingzhu stammered out bravely. “I-I guess you like your pocky…”

Cloud blinked and looked at Mingzhu, his mouth opening. "Y-yeah... but..." He paused, about to say 'I like you more, yet instead he bit his lower lip. "Yeah..." he finished, taking another piece out and sticking it in his mouth to chew on. Before he did it, he felt as if it would be worthwhile to see her reaction, but instead, he got a reaction of his own. Clearing his throat, he glanced out the window, a growing habit he was starting to get from being in the hospital for longer than he was used to. "So did you go to school today?"
