MeliNeji Week, Day 5!!

[A/N]

I don’t know what came over me when I was writing the draft for this, because it suddenly took a semi-sad/not happy turn, but I guess that’s what I get for choosing the Hospital Stay prompt (oh crap I spoiled it-).

I also don’t know if that made any sense, but I honestly couldn’t care less anymore, so without further ado...

Day 5 - Hospital Stay

“Why did you have to be so reckless?”

Nejire stared at the ceiling of her hospital room on Ward five. Her head throbbed like hell. Melissa sat next to her bed on a worn-out, leather armchair. She knew that Melissa was disappointed in her. She hated the thought, but there was no way to avoid it.

Yes, she was being stupid by going after the villain alone. Yes, she was reckless with her power. Yes, she obviously didn’t think things through. Yes, she almost died - but the kid was saved in the end and the villain was arrested. Wasn’t that all that mattered now?

But not to Melissa. Well, not exactly; she did feel glad that everything was okay in the end, but she also cared about her girlfriend, who in the end wasn’t okay. Who wouldn’t be upset with their lover if they had intentionally went on a suicide mission to save a kid? Sure it would be for a good cause, but still. This was her girlfriend, for crying out loud.

“I’m honestly fine, Melissa.”

“Sorry, Nejire, but I can’t buy that. Not with the current state you’re in.”

“But it’s just a few scratches-”

“You pushed yourself past your limit, Nejire! You could’ve died.” Melissa’s voice quivered.

“But-”

“No, Nejire, no.”

“What?!” Nejire was annoyed now. “What do you want me to say, Melissa?!”

“I don’t want you to say anything, I want you to do.”

There was a deafening silence.

“What?”

“I...” Melissa struggled for words. “I don’t want you to be so reckless anymore. If that fight carried on for another five minutes, you would’ve probably been dead by now.” Melissa looked down at her lap. “And I... I don’t want that.”

“I wouldn’t want that either, if we switched roles.”

“So don’t do it again,” tears welled out of Melissa’s eyes and slowly rolled down her cheeks. “Neji, you had me worried sick...”

As much as Nejire wanted to protest, Melissa was right. Nejire knew she was wrong.

“Sorry,” muttered Nejire.

Melissa looked up, “sorry?”

“I’m sorry,” apologized Nejire, louder. “I was being an idiot and I should’ve thought things through. You were right.”

Melissa gave a small smile. “I’m just glad you’re okay,” Melissa leaned forward and kissed Nejire on the forehead.

“I love you, Neji. You’re my hero.”

aaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAHHH.

I tried to make it happy in the end but I don’t know if I did a very good job-

But in the end, Nejire’s alive, right? I guess that’s on the bright side...

Anyway, stay tuned everyone! Love you all!
