Welcome to Gaia! ::

Yasuo shut the door behind her, leaning his head on the door. Oh well, he thought, what do you do? He pushed off the door, knowing what his ancestors had done. He had hoped his life would be different, that the woman who married him would actually love him for him. Turning to the kitchen, he put the leftovers away and finished the few dished quickly before the food became stuck to the them. Leaving them to dry, he settled down in front of the tv with a beer. It was going to be a long night of chasing away his disappointments.

It was nearly three in the morning before Yasou finally crashed out on the couch. His thoughts were depressive before allowing himself to finally give in to sleep. As his eyes dropped shut, he thought of how hard today was going to be, not only seeing Ana again, but teaching with a hangover was quite difficult. "Too late now." he muttered.

Yasou woke up, surprised by the sound of the phone ringing. Groaning, he grabbed the receiver and mumbled a 'hello'. The frantic sound coming back at him was ear-splitting to him, causing the hangover he had to be even worse. He came full awake the voice on the other end told him of Ana. "Is she okay?" he asked the woman on the other end. Being the second time a phone was dropped on the poor woman, Yasuo threw on jeans, a shirt and shoes and was out the door in under a minute, running the short distance to Ana's home. Knocking on the door impatiently, he ran through his mind the short conversation with the woman on the phone. No answer after ten seconds that felt like an eternity, Yasuo knocked again only two seconds before trying the door. His surprise to find it unlocked wouldn't catch up to him for awhile as he walked in the door to find Ana collapsed on the floor. Rushing beside her on the ground, Yasuo cupped her face in his hand. "Ana." he said softly, only a small amount of relief flooding through him. "Are you okay, love?" he asked her, worry etching wrinkles in his perfectly sculpted features.

Yasou helped her to the couch before sprinting to the kitchen for the water and getting the medicine. He opened the bottle and dumped a couple of the pills into his hand. Gently, he fed the pills into her mouth while assisting her with the water. The pills taken, he didn't feel any better about her condition. He sat next to her, holding her hand as they waited to see if it became necessary to get further treatment.

Yasuo nodded, picking her up in his arms without a word. He grabbed her keys from the hook on the door before putting heading out to put her in the passenger seat of her car. Running to the other side, he got behind the wheel, barely noticing that he didn't quite fit. Unable to say a word, he held he drove with one hand on the wheel and one hand grasping hers gently. "You aren't mean." he said as the hospital came into view. "Never once have you spoke to me unjustly." he shut the car off and came around to get her. Moving so he wouldn't shake her around, he got her through the doors. In only minutes, the hospital staff took charge and Yasuo was shut out in the waiting room, the worst possible scenarios playing through his mind.

Yasuo nodded. "Thank you." he said as he stood. He walked down the hall, the eerie sound of his footsteps bouncing off the walls. He got to her room and walked in, quietly taking the only seat in the room and moving it next to the bed. He took her hand in both of his and looked at her, seemingly small and frail in the bed. "Hi." he said to her, worry taking up permanent residence around his eyes.

Yasuo shook his head. "No. Thank you." he said to the doctor. "I won't stay long." he promised. Yasuo watched as the doctor nodded at him and then left them alone. "I thought you didn't have any allergies." he teased her, wondering what he'd fed her to cause this. Surely, it was his fault. He shouldn't have let her leave the night before.
