Sanzu's POV

It's been two days, Y/n was still unconscious. The doctors said that she's fine and is just resting. She'll wake up soon they said.

I should visit her at least once before she wakes up. I just need to go see for myself that she's alright.

I bought (fav. flowers), it's her favorite flowers. This is the least I could do for her. Walking to the receptionist I asked where her room is and they were told me.

They put her in a private room, it's even a VIP room. The hallway was quiet and empty.

When I reached the room, I peeked over the glass part of the door. I saw Mikey holding her hand so preciously and watching her with concern.

I watched them for a minute before I knocked at the door. Mikey looked over and let me come in.

"Sanzu, you came" he said with a smile. He looked like he never slept last night.

"I just stopped by. Is there a vase I could put these?" I asked and showed the flowers

"Yeah, let me just get it for a minute. You can take a seat first" he said and left.

I looked at Y/n, she looks peaceful. At least she's okay.

After a while, Mikey came with a vase and I arranged the flowers and put it on top of a drawer near her bed.

Mikey's phone rang and he excused himself for a moment. I was left alone with Y/n. I sat beside her bed and looked at her.

"You're so strong but you can be reckless." I said

"Did you feel that your life would be in danger that's why you told me to take care of Mikey when we last hang out?" I said again.

"I was worried when I heard you got stabbed." I added and my voice began to get shaky

"You always think about Mikey and the others including me but what about you?" I said and lowered my head while I clench my fist.

I tried to calm down and took a deep breath. I took her hand.

"Y/n, you are my best friend, my one and only mentor, I admire and respect you for all of that." I said

"However, I cherish and care for you too. You are the one and only queen or empress that I acknowledge, but I know that I'll never be your king. However, as long as you are happy and alive, this pawn will be a knight that could protect you." I said and kissed the back of her hand.

I stood up and looked at her again.

"I hope you rest well and wake up soon. Everyone is waiting for you." I said and went out. I crossed paths with Mikey who just finished with his call.

"Are you done already? You could stay longer." He said and I shook my head

"I can't stay any longer, Mucho-san ordered me to look into some people." I said

"I see, then visit again when she wakes up. Continue the good work, I left Ken-chin to manage the gang in the meantime, help him too." He said and I nod.

"Yes of course. Then, I'll be going now." I bowed and walked away. He waved with a smile.

Your POV

I opened my eyes slowly and was greeted by an unfamiliar white ceiling. Slowly moving my head to look around I noticed my favorite person sleeping. I sat up and leaned on my back.

I slowly reached his cheek but his eyes slowly opened.

He looked at me with sleepy and tired eyes.

" Ohayo, darling." I said softly with a smile. He sat up and was finally awake. Without a word, he hugged me and I hugged back. He was careful not to hurt my wound but his grip was firm.

"Y/n" he whispered. I feel that he's slightly shaking, he's crying.

"Jiro?"

"I- I thought I lost you again. I thought you left me again." He shakily said and I smiled.

"Why would I do that? I promised to stay with you right?" I said

"I almost lost myself again. If you were really gone I-" he said

"But I'm here right now right? I'll be careful next time so don't worry." I said

We hugged for a few moments.

"J-Jiro you can let go now." I said and he slowly let go.

"How long was I out?" I asked

"Three days" he said

"What?!" I exclaimed, I slept that long?

I looked at him and I noticed that he was tired.

"Jiro"

"Hmm"

"Did you even sleep?"

"..."

I sighed and made some space in the bed and pat it.

"Come, let's sleep together for a moment" I said with a smile.

"But I have to tell the nurse you woke up." He reasoned

"It's just for a while and besides I'm okay now. I just feel tired so why don't we both take a good nap." I said and he gave up.

We cuddled, he was the big spoon and I was the small one. It was so comfortable and warm.

After at least an hour, someone knocked on the door. I woke up but Jiro didn't, he must be so tired.

"Come in" I said but not too loud to wake Jiro up

The door opened and a tall muscular man wearing a suit, a fedora, and shades came in with a serious face.

"I just came and you guys are already lovey-dovey." He said

"Is that what you are going to say to your daughter who just woke up after being stabbed?" I asked the man

"Is that what you gonna ask your father who came to visit?" he replied in a slightly loud tone but he's not angry.

"Papa, don't be too noisy, you'll wake Jiro up." I shushed he came closer to us and sat down.

"He told me everything." He said looking at Jiro

"I see"

"You know that we could just kill the guy that did this to you right?" He asked

"I know but this isn't something that you should take care of." I said while caressing Jiro's locks

"I know, I would've done it already the day that I saw you here. But this boy asked me not to." he said.

"Papa"

"He said that he will handle it together with you." He said and I smiled. I'm happy that he isn't just doing things by himself.

"By the way, aren't you busy with work?" I asked

"This brat. What's more important than my own daughter? Do you really think I'll choose work over my injured baby daughter?" He sternly said

"Stop calling me a baby, I'm already 15." I said

"Even if you're 60 years old, you're still my baby daughter" he said seriously.

We started to bicker and Jiro slowly woke up.

"Oh, sorry for waking you up Jiro." I said to him and looked at my father.

"It's okay, since when did you come here, Tatsuya-san?" He said and asked my father.

"I just arrived a while ago. And didn't I tell you to call me father?" He said

"Papa!" I said and Jiro just chuckled

"I'm sorry for not greeting you when you came." Jiro apologized and bowed. When he met my dad he was always respectful.

"No need to be sorry, you did take care of my troublesome daughter while I was away so you must be tired."

"Huh? Me? Troublesome?" I asked while pointing at myself in disbelief. I was just ignored.

"You can go home and rest for today, kid. I'll be staying with her so you can come back tomorrow." Father said to Jiro and he nodded.

"Then, I'll see you again tomorrow, Tatsuya-san." Jiro said and bowed to father

"I said call me fa-" I covered father's mouth.

"See you tomorrow, Jiro. Rest and eat well okay?" I said and waved with my other hand with a smile.

"I will, you rest well too. Bye-bye." He said with a smile and waved. He walked out and I let go of my father's mouth.

"Why did you do that?" He asked

"You're pestering him about calling you father, he's already tired as it is." I said and crossed my arms.

"What's the matter? He'll be my son-in-law anyway, what's wrong in doing it in advance?" He said

"Jeez, you're rushing to things. I can't still believe that you accept him so easily. I thought you'll be the kind that would disagree but eventually approve." I said

"Are you comparing me to other fathers? Why would I disagree if you like him? As long as your happy then there's nothing wrong." He said

That's right, papa is never like the other parents that I hear about. He really loves me so much and I'm so thankful. When mom died he loved me even more.

"Thanks papa." I said with a smile

"Of course."

"..."

"But I think you're right, I think I should be a little more strict. You guys already act like a married couple so I think your relationship is progressing fast." He said seriously

"Wha-"

"You're still young and I don't need grandchildren this early."

"Papa! What the hell?!"

"I'm just saying, boys are boys" he said seriously

"He isn't like that!" I said and my cheeks are starting to feel hot. I never thought of it before since we're just too clingy to each other.

It never crossed my mind!

"Then why are you suddenly embarrassed?" He asked

"It's because it is embarrassing! Why are we even talking about this!" I said and covered my face. He started laughing and I pouted.
