Library

*mumbles something about a few hours eyes going green*

...D-did I hear...HOURS?
*Walks up to her*
Yea, we need to get you to bed.

b-but im fine really........
*eyes go even s brighter green*
i wanna find the info your looking for.......

You can do that tomorrow.
*Grabs her and takes her out of her seat*
So, where do you normally sleep?

ummm....... any where i can find...........
*looks down blushing*
since the dorms are being worked on........

Yosh! I got an idea....Just pretend like you're hurt and we can take you to the hospital...They'll let you sleep there for a while.

b-b-but what about you Zetta-sama....?
*looks at him eyes green*

I dont need sleep...I got some earlier.
*Drags her out to the hospital*

*gets dragged out*

*After the short walk with Shizuka, Iori walks into the library holding her hand and looks around in awe*
So many books!

Shizuka winced at a sharp pain sting through her heart as she turned her head away and covered her mouth to cough. Her hand raised up to her mouth to block the cough, blood splattering on her palm and a thin line of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. She lowered her hand and nodded once, tilting her head down to the floor. "U-Uh huh..."

*Iori looked down at Shizuka and his eyes widened some as he got down on her level, wiping the blood from her mouth*
Oh my-
Are you okay!?
Whats wrong?

Shizuka nodded and as she went to speak, another cough came up, shoving her hands in front of her mouth as she coughed up more blood that had seeped through her lungs. "I-I'm alright, Iori. This... is normal..." she answered, lowering her hand from her mouth and watching the floor sadly but with a smile, blood dripping down from her fingertips to the floor slowly.

*he winced at her words*
Normal?
This hasnt happened until now.
*he took her shoulders into his hands, staring deeply into her eyes, his currently dark red*
Please be honest with me.

(Damnit Shizuka...T.T
Your half dead in another rp, but im already here...)

All she could do was nod, her eyes half closed, her teal eyes saddened that he had to see such a sight. She inhaled softly and nodded, telling him the truth. "I have a very... weak body, Iori. I don't want to worry you and tell you everything I have. But, I have slight asthma and a mild case of hemoptysis..."

(>_< Shizuka will be fine. Like heck I'm letting anything worse happen to her T _ T.)

*Iori carressed her hair and walked her over to a table where he sat down, then set her in his lap and put his arms around her*
You shouldnt worry about me worrying.
It just shows i care for you, and its a completely natural thing.
*he kissed her forehead*
I wont love you any less simply from your illnesses.
*he smiled a heartwarming smile as he prepared his body to release extra heat*
We all have our flaws.

Shizuka settled herself in his lap and rested against him tiredly, placing her now clean palm on his chest over his heart. All she could muster was a gentle nod, blushing lightly at the feel of his kiss on her forehead. "I'm sorry for being such a hassle..." she answered delicately into his ear, almost as soft as a whisper. This is what made Shizuka melt in his arms. His ability to pardon things most people wouldn't. She felt blessed. Truly, honestly blessed.

*Iori frowned and his eyes dulled, going back to their original black*
Thats nothing to apologize for.
It isnt your fault.
*he turned her head to him by her chin*
So no apologizing for your flaws from now on, okay?
No relationship is perfect, and there WILL be obstacles to overcome.
The question is:
Is our love strong enough to survive it?

(edited my last post...)

Shizuka blinked and looked into Iori's dark eyes, her own reflecting her soul in it's genuine warmth. "Alright... I-I won't." she answered delicately, a blush forming on her cheeks quickly, her heart beating a little harder and faster. "If we want it to be, it will always be strong e-enough..."

*Iori smiled at her. He liked the answer she gave*
Thats a great way to look at it.
*he leaned his head on her shoulder, kissing her neck lightly*

Shizuka blushed madly at the simple but wonderful praise she had been given. She raised her hand up his back and ran her fingers through his hair from behind, her nails delicately scraping his scalp. "H-Hnn..."

*Iori radiated some of his stored body heat in an attempt to warm himself and Shizuka. He let out a purr-like moan at her hands running along him*

Shizuka moved her free hand into his lap and smiled, her mind and body enjoying his purring sound. She ran her hand through his hair, feeling the warmth coming from his body. "I-Io~ri..."

(I have to get off for the night! Goodnight >///
