You must remember this, a kiss is still a kiss, a sigh is but a sigh...the world will always welcome lovers, as time goes by... )
It took her a few seconds to really get a grasp on the fact that she was, indeed, waking up. She felt extremely weak, and that was really the first thing to rush through her mind - second of which being the set of emotions closest to her at the time.
Her eyes fluttered open to reveal the deep blue of her irises, before they were turned on Arnold, her expression immediately knitting into a mixture of confusion and worry.
"Ar-Arnold?" the last thing she remembered was touching the wheel, and feeling dizzy... that was in the park, and now she was...
... at the Tower? How the hell had she gotten into the Tower?

"Raven! Oh, thank god, thank god!" He couldn't resist leaning in to kiss her again and again, on the lips, and the cheeks, and the chin.

Just that Arnold was a worried mess, smothering her in affections, that after a moment, she attempted to return. It didn't get particularly far, before she fell back down against the medical bay bed, still in a daze.
"What happened?"
Reply
And, already, the guilt beast that lurked in the back of his head started kicking at his brain stem. You should have done this right away, you're a moron for not listening, she was depending on you and you let her down...

She did her best to actually sit up this time, groaning at how stiff her arms were. This couldn't have possibly been just a few hours, to get that sort of physical reaction...

"You passed out, Garfield found you, and then brought you to the tower. You've been asleep since Friday, darling."
Reply
"Garfield, hmm?" she logged that away, before giving a pause, eyes staring blankly across the room at nothing in particular. "... since Fr--- what day is it now?"

He'd probably be beating himself up over this little mess for some time to come. Man truly did not know when to let go of his failures and mistakes.

She leaned even more weight into him, tilting her head against his shoulder with a sigh. "I see. Happy Valentine's Day, Arnold. ... I apologize if I've ruined it for you."
Reply
He was fussing with her hair, smoothing it off of her forehead and gathering it into a loose ponytail at the nape of her neck with his hands. It just felt nice.
"Are you hungry, love? I can go get you some soup or something..."
Reply
But her stomach felt like it had built up a fortified wall that nothing could pass through, so she'd wait in hopes that it'd go away first.
"Thank you for staying with me."
Reply
"Of course, my love. Of course. That's what I'm here for, remember? You get sick, land in the hospital, and I stay with you until you're better. That's just what we do. Well, twice so far, at least. If this becomes a habit I'm going to be cross."
Reply
"Waking up and you being there, as... corny as that sounds."
There was a pause, a brief one, but it was there. "... and you've said you'd be cross with me before, I have yet to see it."
Reply
"It does sound corny, but I'd not leave your side for anything. Well, aside from trips to the loo," he joked.
Reply
"... I'll take you up on that soup after all."
