The curtains were closed over the windows and the light was off. Despite the fact that it was almost noon, it was very dark in her room.
Akito was laying on her bed. She'd been sick for most of the days Devon was gone. And every time Hatori came in, he looked almost in pain, sorrowfull. And every time he left, he looked hesitant, as if he were frightened to leave her alone in the room. Almost the same with Kureno, too. What was going on?
What Akito didn't know was that her life expectancy had lowered over the time Devon left. Two or three months, Hatori had told Kureno. That's why they were always so upset when they'd come in.
Akito missed Devon so much. Where was he right this minute? What was he doing? Was he telling the truth, had he merely left to no longer be a danger to her? Or did he not love her anymore and was he trying not to hurt her? But if he didn't love her, why would he care about hurting her? Because he was a kind person. There was a knock at the door. Until now, Akito had only been half awake, but the knock had woken her up.
"Enter," she croaked. Her voice sort of broke, her throat was sore, she was losing her voice today. That sucked...

A blonde head peeked through the door. His golden eyes looked around the room for Akito. He figured out that she was in her bedroom and he silently walked in.
"Akito?" He called.

Akito's eyes widened in surprise for a moment. But then the surprise left her face and she looked sad. "I must be seeing things..." She muttered to herself. "You left..." Her eyes were locked onto Devon's, confusion mixing in with the sadness.

He sighed. "You're not seeing things." He said. "I'm really here. I came back." He said.

Akito blinked. Those words were enough to pursuade her. A few emotions passed through her face. Happiness, sadness, anger, then happiness again. She sat up, the happiness plain on her face. "D-Devon! Oh my-- I'm so happy you're back!" There were tears in her eyes now as she slowly climbed out of bed. She walked over to him. "I can't believe it... w-why though? Why did you come back? I thought you were dead set on leaving..." She said, a bit of sadness in her voice now. She looked up into his eyes.

"Because we were dying without each other." He said, wrapping his arms around her.

Akito smiled contentedly when he wrapped his arms around her. It felt so right to her, like they actually fit together. She didn't care that he was ice cold. It ddin't bother her in the least. But then her smile vanished and she looked up, having to really lean her head back to see his face when she was this close. "Dying? I mean, I know I have two or three years left, but you sound like death would have come so close... and... you? You dying?" Her brow furrowed, a crease forming between her eyes as she frowned. She realized the first part then, though. The part about her dying. "Oh! So that's why Hatori and Kureno looked so upset... but still, what about you? How were you dying?"

"Alice had a vision, of you dead. So yes, that's probably why they looked upset. And when I said I was dying, I ment figuritivly(sp?)." he smiled.
"But your okay now." he said.

Akito smiled at Devon, and pulled herself tighter to him. "You are never leaving me again," She said, a couple tears rolled down her cheeks. "Never. Never again..."

"So... so how was... Venice, or... Rome, or Italy... wherever you went?" Akito asked, wiping her tears away now.

Akito smiled at him. Then there was a knock on the door. Akito away from Devon and at the door.
"Akito-san?" Kureno poked his head in, eyes widening immediately when he saw Devon.
"Aah, Kureno... Mmm... can you leave?" She looked a bit embarrassed. While Devon was gone Kureno and Akito had returned to their regular /routine/. Kureno would come in, stay in the room with Akito. On her worst days he'd stay the night in her room to watch her and make sure she'd make it through the night, and sometimes she'd... well... kiss him. Which would explain why Akito was embarrassed right now.
Kureno looked embarrassed as well, but happy. Devon had return. Maybe Akito would have longer now. She looked a little healthier. That was good. And she looked happier too. He smiled slightly, kindly, at Akito. "Sure... Devon-san, glad to see you're back." He left the room, shutting the door quietly behind him.
((And now Devon would ask why Akkii was so embarrassed. XD))

"I'm gald to be back, too." He said.
"Why were you so embarassed?" Devon asked her after she left.

Akito bit her lip. "Nn... I might tell you later..." Akito said, still looking embarrassed. How would Devon react to the fact that she'd kissed Kureno while he was gone? Would he think she'd cheated on him? That's not how it was. It was different, something difficult to explain.
((Devon and Aki are close enough that he can pester her about the thing without her getting very mad at him. XD Poor Akkii...))

"Why maybe later? Why can't you tell me now?" He asked.

"I was hoping if I put it off you'd forget about your question," Akito said, a bit quietly, though it was obvious Devon would hear.

"You can tell me, Akito." He said to her, brushing some of her hair away from her face.

Akito shook her head. "You won't like it, Devon," She protested. "You might even get a bit mad."

"I rpomise I won't get mad." He said, cupping her pale face in his cold hairs gently. He liked the way Akito's skin felt, it was so soft. He wished that he could just be here forever, talking to Akito. Just standing here...
