Sarah's POV

I felt like i was awake, but my entire mind felt like it was off in wonderland or something. I tried my best to open my eyes, but my entire body just felt like lead, i just laid down in wherever i was, and i just focused on the rhythmic beat of the heart monitor next to me.

But after awhile, i soon realize that i wasn't going to go back to sleep anytime soon, i try to open my eyes, but i'm met with a bright light so i force them closed. I wait a moment before i slowly open them again, and met with the white tiled roof of Beacon's infirmary. It's been awhile since i was last here, but it was good to know that i was safe.

I close my eyes and i tried to get some sleep, but soon i began to hear light breathing next to me, and i think i felt something that was on my arm, i just assumed it was an IV or something. So i tried to sleep, but when i felt the light weight move further onto my arm, i couldn't help but wince in pain.

After awhile of recovering i open my eyes, and shove myself up a bit so i can look down as to what was on my arm, but i felt my face heat up when i saw Velvet sleeping on top of my arm. I couldn't deny that she looked really cute when she was sleeping.... what am i even saying? I try my best to shake my head, it must be some sort of painkiller talking, but still...

I try to ignore my brain for now, but i couldn't help but look at Velvet's face as she slept, as creepy as that sentence sounds, i almost reached for Velvet's ears, but then stopped midway through.

What am i even doing at this point, i should just sleep already and not admire my student. I break away from looking at Velvet and lean back into the bed, i tried to go to sleep, but then i heard Velvet mutter in her sleep, and i will never forget the words that she said,

"Sarah....i....love you" My entire face was now on fire, i wanted to say something, but she was still asleep. I just sigh as i lean back into the bed, and i couldn't help but think about how Velvet kissed me at the dance, i could feel my lips tingling just from thinking about it.

"will you..." I lean a little towards the sleeping Velvet to see what she was going to say this time, "...marry me, Sarah..." I shot up out of the bed, but i felt a shot of pain shoot through my entire body and i just leaned back into the bed. But i moved to violently and i saw that i woke up Velvet, and her face was filled with concern.

"Sarah, thank Oum, your okay!" I saw that there was tears starting to form in her eyes, and i just meekly raise my hand up to her eyes and cup her cheek. She then threw herself on top of me and gave me a bone crushing hug, and i couldn't help but grunt in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, but, Sarah your okay" She let go of me, but she looked so relieved to see me okay for now. I gave her a small smile, and i tried to give her a reassuring laugh, but it just hurt trying to do that.

"It's okay Velvet, I may be complete pain, but it's going to take more then a few kick to the ribs to kill me." I tried to give her a big grin, but my i felt my side hurting, so i just leaned back into the bed.

"You were on the verge of death," I look back up to see that Velvet was once again on the verge of tears, "When the medics looked at you, they said you had several broken ribs, with internal bleeding, with brain damage. And that's not including all of the lacerations you had across your body, it was miracle they said that you didn't die." Velvet was crying at this point, and i couldn't help but feel my heart cry out to make her feel better, but i couldn't do anything. I just tried to do the most I could do, which was to move my arm above her head, and lightly pat her head.

She looked up to me, and she seemed to be a little bit better, as she turned towards my hand and i lightly rubbed her ears, until i heard her let out a small moan. I shot my hand back, because i wasn't expecting it.

"S-Sorry, my ears are r-really sensitive." She looked away from me, but i could see that her face was completely red as a ruby. I felt really awkward about her letting out a moan, and soon all conversation between us stopped.

It was really quiet until Velvet stood up, "I think i should let you rest, i'll be goi-" Before she could walk away i grabbed her arm, but let go almost immediately as i felt a shot of pain run up my arm.

"S-Sarah, don't push yourself, your still healing, so don't push yourself so much." I raise my hand as i tried to compose myself for now.

"Please don't leave me Velvet." She looked at me for a second, and then she nodded as she sat down on a chair next to me bed. I took this as the best chance to talk about her sleep talking.

"Also Velvet, did you know that you talk in your sleep?" When i said this, her entire body completely froze up, and she looked more then ready to run towards the door, but she was attached to the chair she was sitting in.

"I-I didn't say a-anything weird, d-did i?" Beads of sweat were going down her face, and i contemplated telling her what she said, or what. But i decided to say the truth.

"It was interesting, the first thing you said in your sleep was, well, you love me..." I turn a little bit to look towards Velvet, but she was looking away from me, and fiddling with her clothes.

"Velvet," She continued to fidget around with her clothes, "please look at me." She didn't do it immediately, but she eventually looked me in the eyes.

"Y-y-yes, Sarah?" Her voice was trembling so bad, and she looked so ready to run away, i wanted to just sit up and go up to her, to give her a hug, a head pat, anything, i just wanted to comfort her.

"To be honest, i was shocked to hear those words from you, i mean i've dated several people before in the past, both men and women," I notice that Velvet was looking away from me now, but i continued on.

"But most of my relationships with these people, barely lasted, because i never really felt a connection to these people." I could see in the corner of my vision that Velvet look more then ready to walk away now.

"I've had several people confess their love to me, but each one felt more fake then the last, but you." I turn towards Velvet and i give her a loving smile.

"Something about you Velvet makes my heart want to run outside of my chest and claim you as it's own." Velvet then looked towards me, and i just give her a smile.

"W-wait, do you mean?" She didn't really finish her thought, but i answered it for her, "Velvet, ever since you first kissed me at the dance, i can't seem to get you out of my head, and i love it, i want to say no to the whole situation, but at this point, i'm too tired to deny it." I give her a smile, and she looked so genuinely happy, that she started to cry.

She then quickly dove on top of me, and gave me another hug, but this time it was less painful, "I thought that i was useless, i thought that i had no meaning in this world, and that i would continue to go through this world without anybody by my side, forever alone. But you were always there for me Sarah, you watched over me, you protected me, you taught me. And i couldn't help but falling for you, I love you Sarah" I was overwhelmed for joy, and i returned to hug to Velvet, but soon she broke away from the hug to look me in the eyes, she then leaned forward and i closed my eyes in response. We had a very brief kiss but a jolt of electricity ran through me spine.

"Velvet, please don't leave me, please" I then hugged her, as i heard her whisper 'i promise' but then i felt incredibly tired, and i wanted to keep my eyes open longer. But soon they were closed and i fell asleep.
