[The sphere comes on to show Oliver lying on the floor of his and the Doctor's shelter, very near where he died; in fact, the bloody blankets that used to hold his body are behind him--mysteriously empty now

O-Ollie?

[oliverplus]

Hey, Haruhi. [smiles for her] How are you?

[tsundereisms]

[bluntly] Bad.

[flings her arms around his waist and clings to him tightly]

You went away.

[oliverplus]

[is shocked speechless for a moment by this move] I...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to.

[wants to know if she saw, but he can't bring himself to ask; he just wraps his arms around her]

[tsundereisms]

[sniffles]

Never do it again.

[oliverplus]

I won't if I can help it.

Did you... [swallows, not sure how to ask, but he has to know] How did you find out? That I was gone for a little while?

[tsundereisms]

[looks down and fiddles with the edge of her skirt]

The Doctor said you were really sick 'n I couldn't see you but I went t'see you 'nyway and...

[oliverplus]

[his eyes widen, and he pulls her close] Shhh. It's okay now. That's all over. I'm back.

[tsundereisms]

[leans against his chest, twisting her fingers in his shirt]

Okay now?

[oliverplus]

Yeah, I'm okay. I'm not going anywhere.

[tsundereisms]

And you promise?

[oliverplus]

[frowns, still holding her tight] I promise.

[tsundereisms]

Okay, I trust you.

[oliverplus]

Good. [loosens his grip a bit, looking down at her] Feel any better now?

[tsundereisms]

[nods]

Before you came back, my chest hurt bad everytime I thought about you.

[oliverplus]

[frowns sadly] But how about now?
