 ~ Jasper~ Jasper awoke several minutes later, slumped in a chair in a room that had been adjacent to the lobby. Looking around nervously, he noticed that there was a bed beside him. Chance lay in this bed, being cared for by pink Weavile from earlier. He rubbed his head a bit where he landed on it, a small headache forming, "Urrgh, what happened?" Last thing he remembered, he was asking someone to help Chance. Had it been that pink Weavile? He really couldn't remember.

  Lucy---&--- ChanceLucy was lightly dabbing at Chance's head with a moist cloth.
Although he was out cold, she was aware he could still feel pain, so he needed a little TLC for the moment.
He soft blue eyes flickered over to Jasper as the Kabutops began to stir.
"You passed out, kid," She said a little roughly.
Chance was hooked up to a heart-rate monitor, which was beeping slowly.

~ Jasper~ At the Weavile's tone, Jasper lowered his gaze to his lap, where his hands now lay, "Oh..." He started fidgeting with his hands, embarrassed at the display of weakness. Soon enough, his worry for his partner overwhelmed him and he looked up, his concern shining in his eyes, tears threatening to overflow once again. "I-is he going to be okay?" It was impossible for Jasper to imagine the trauma he would go through if he lost Chance, especially this soon.

Lucy---&--- ChanceLcuy sighed a pit and pinched her forehead.
"Well, I suppose I could sugar coat things, or give you the straight truth," She said softly.
"I think the latter is easiest. He's alive and everything, but apparently he took quite a blow to the head."
He lightly let a claw run along the side of Chance's face, sighing with that motherly attitude she often had.
"The thing is, we don't know when... or even if he'll wake up again. It could be in a few hours, or in a few years..."

~ Jasper~ Jasper felt his scythe-hands begin to dig into his legs at Lucy explained. A few years?! He just couldn't deal with that kind of stress! Jumping out of his chair, he looked at the Weavile, and began to gesture wildly with his hands, "There has to be something you can do! Anything! Please! He has to wake up!" He dropped to his knees, tears streaming from his face. "He just has to..." He let out a shuddering breath and continued to sob quietly, letting the severity of the situation sink in.

Lucy---&--- ChanceThe pink Weavile looked down.
She hated when there was nothing else she could do.
""I'm sorry, but there's nothing else I can do... You can stay with him for a little while, see if he wakes up, but I wouldn't get too hopeful. I'm so sorry, hun..."

~ Jasper~ Jasper just continued kneeling where he was. He had no more to say, and all he could do was just stay there and sob, allowing his sadness to overwhelm him. Something had told him that opening up to the outside world would be a bad idea, but he had ignored it. Now look what happened! He opened up and got close to someone, and they were cruelly ripped away from him. Already, Jasper could feel that all too familiar shadow begin to wrap itself around his heart once again. The shell he had in youth may have no longer been present, but he could still feel himself to begin to retreat back into it. Even as his sobs began to fall away to dry heaves.

Lucy---&--- ChanceLucy bit her lip as she watched Jasper cry.
She didn't know either of them, but it was still hard to fight back tears at the Kabutops' anguish.
"T-Talk to him..." She stuttered softly.
"Maybe he'll hear you..."
With that, she turned around and wuickly left the room.
She didn't want to get overly emotional in front of a patient.

~ Jasper~ Jasper knelt there, the tears would no longer come. Lucy left the room, and her final comment took a long time to pierce the cloud of fog that surrounded his mind. It seemed so insignificant, such a small chance, that it took a great deal of effort for Jasper to rise from his current state. Insignificant as it may have seemed, it was still a glimmer of hope, and that was what made Jasper approach the bed. Scythe hands placed cautiously away from his partner, he leaned in close to the Gliscor's head. "Chance...if you can hear me... I just want you to know..." A small sob caused Jasper to pause, "I love you..." He then leaned in an gently pressed his lips against that of the Gliscor's, kissing the comatose body of his lover. I will always love you...

ChanceThe seemingly lifeless body of Chance remained still as Jasper moved in close.
Jasper placed his lips to Chance's, and everything seemed silent.
Not a movement, not a sound.
Just the sorrowful kiss that two lovers shared, but neither could enjoy.
But suddenly, a miracle.
As Jasper remained there, kissing Chance's warm yet dull lips, something odd occurred.
Chance's lip trembled a little bit.

~ Jasper~ The twitch had been small, yet had been enough for Jasper to notice. He quickly pulled away from Chance, staring at his face for any more signs of life. Deciding that his voice might continued to help, he continued speaking. Just little blurbs about how the met, how he felt, and things he hoped to come. He continued to speak, and the longer he did so, the more he began to doubt the effectiveness of his voice, and he began to question if that twitch had even really happened. Nevertheless, he continued to ramble, his eyes once again threatening to shed tears.

ChanceThe heart rate monitor Chance was hooked up to began to speed up a little, but for the first few minutes, the Gliscor remained limp.
All he could do was lie there and breath, it seemed.
However, the more Jasper spoke, the more the monitor's beep intervals would slowly increase in speed.
It was quite obvious that Chance could hear the Kabutops speaking, and it became even more obvious when Chance's eyelids began to twitch.

~ Jasper~ The incessant beeping coming from the heart rate monitor slowly began to increase in rate, causing Jasper's hope to blossom. "Oh Chance! Please, you're so close!" He gently propped up Chance's head with the flat end of his scythe so that he could get a better look at his face. He noticed color beginning to return to the Gliscor's face, and Jasper nearly squeed with delight. Chance was waking up! He was really waking up! Oh praise Arceus, everything was going to be all right!

ChanceEach of the Gliscor's limbs began to lightly twitch and shift.
Chance's eyelids moved a little more as his head was gently tilted up.
Slowly, but surely, his eyes began to open much earlier than anybody had guessed.
".... J.... Jasper...."

~ Jasper~ Jasper let out a small gasp as Chance uttered his name. "Yes, Chance, I'm here!" Oh praise Arceus, praise Arceus, praise Arceus! He was actually awake! It was a miracle! Jasper gently wrapped his hands around Chance's body, careful to use the flat ends, and enveloped him in a tight hug. He then began to cry for the umpteenth time today, but this time, from joy.
