[Third Person POV]
It had been 10 minutes since Brie left the room. Ryujin was bored just sleeping like this but this moment was peaceful for him. A quote said by his grandfather always stayed with him.
" In the midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside you."
Ryujin started mediatating. He didn't foucus on his breath nor anything. The Nothing Mediatation was the one which he was taught. The meditation technique was simple just do nothing. Don't focus on your breath, emotion, object or anything.
Ideas and his emotions would rush over him but he only observed them, never judged them. This was what made Ryujin have a calm demeanour. His sixth sense also unlocked because of this technique.
The mana would also automatically enter his body. Many people tried to control and spread their mana but Ryujin just let it enter his body. The mana would then move itself to every part of Ryujin's body.
' The best meditation is effortless'
He mediatated for one hour.
"Clack."
He could hear the door open. He opened his eyes. He could see Mei looking at his face with a worried expression.
' She saved me again. I should give her a gift.'
Mei was about to cast another healing magic on Ryujin.
"Hi!"
Mei was shocked. She looked at Ryujin's face and saw him wink and smile at her.
" Kyahhh."
Mei screamed. She screamed so loud that Tyujin almost lost his hearing.
"How-How are."
Mei was struggling to speak. She was sure that Ryujin wouldn't survive this time. She used her powrfs to observe Ryujin's wound.Her ability <Microscopic Eye> let her see things that couldn't be seen by naked eye of a human. She could even use it as X-ray vision. She could see the cells in Ryujin wound healing itself at a fast rate. Themana was co-ordinating with every part of his body to heal the injuries.
She didn't believe her ability so he checked his stats on the monitor. Even the monitor showed that almost every injury on Ryujin's body was healed.
'All of the internal injuries are healed and only some of it are left. His organs are even in perfect condition. I have never seen this in my career. With regeneration like this he will be discharged within 4 days.'
Mei stared at Ryujin for a good few minutes. Ryujin noticed her stare and talked to her in a low tone.
"Will I be fine?"
He knew he was fine but he had to act like an injured person right now.
"Well if it was another person with this injury, they would probably be dead by now. Your body is quite special. I would love to have a specimen like you in my lab but its against my code to do any human experiments."
'Please no experiments again. I am tired of that thing.'
Ryujin lazily said that to himself.
"You are in a stable condition for now. Just rest. I will ask the nurses to bring you your meal."
"Thank you doctor. For saving me again."
Mei just waved her hands and walked out of the room. She saw Ciel clasping her hand together and praying.
'It has been two hours since she had started doing this.'
Arlo had gone somewhere. Arthur and Zerox asked Ciel to take a break as well but she was stubborn. Seeing that she wouldn't move both of them decided to give her space. Her eyes had dark circles under them. They were swollen from the amount of tears that she cried.
'How much does she love him?'
Mei touched Ciel's shoulder. Ciel looked at Mei but she didn't stop praying.
"You should go an rest. Your father gave me a call.I told him that you were here.He asked me, how you were doing and told you to take a rest."
Ciel grotted her teeth.
"If father cared for me, he would be here."
"You know he is busy ."
"He could have at least called me then. No matter how busy someone is, I don't think a call takes a lot of time."
Mie was annoyed by Ciel's response. She didn't want to be rude to her but her way of talking touched a sore spot on Mei's heart.
"How could you have picked up his call when you were unconsious. Did you even check your calls? You probably didn't and you can't say someone didn't care for you when you turn a blind eye to their affection."
Ciel didn't reply back.
"Just forget about that. Go inside. He is awake now. He is quite the specimen to survive this. Just don't cry infront of him. He is well but his emotional state can be a messy after experiencing that much pain.He might get discharged-"
Ciel got up from the chair and hugged Mei. Mei almost fell down cause of the force doing the hug.
"Thank you Mei. Really thank you."
Mei patted her back. Ciel was trembling. Mei kept patting her back and gave her a kiss on her head.
'Just a few seconds ago we were arguing and now we are hugging. You have fallen deep for him Ciel. I hope you can also accept and love me just a fraction of what you feel for him.'
Ciel stopped hugging and rushed towards the door.
Mie looked back and folded her arms.
" Your father might get a heart attack when he sees this side of yours."

[Ciel's POV]
I tiptoed into the room. I didn't want to make any unnecessary noise. I stood infront of Ryujin. He had his eyes closed. He was looking a lot better.
The pipes were removed from his bodies and he was wearing only an oxygen mask.
He opened his eyes and called me in low tone.
"Ciel?"
"Yes, Ryujin. I am here."
I took a sit next to him. He gave me a small smile. His eyes glittered under the sunlight coming from the window. Those eyes never seize to mesmerize me.
"I am glad you are fine."
He still is worried about me even after all this. I love him. I really do but sometimes I wonder if my love is enough for him. Everyday I fall for him deeper and deeper and I don't think it will ever end. I don't want it to end.
" I am perfectly fine Ryujin. Everybody is fine. Only you suffered fatal injuries."
Ryujin's expression didn't change. He just kept looking at me and made a worried expression.
"Did you not take any rest?"
"No. I did"
I lied to him. I didn't want him to worry about me when he was in such a bad condition.Hmm.. I looked at my hand. Ryujin had lightly grabbed it. I could tell that he had no energy in his body but his hands never lost the warmth it had in them.
" I know you are lying Ciel. The dark circles under you eyes are pretty bad. You probably didn't eat anything as well."
I could only nod. He sees right through me everytime. I cannot hide anything from him.
"I am sorry for lying to you. Are you angry?"
"No! You lied for me didn't you. I am glad you lied for me. It means that you care for me. That makes me happy."
He slowly interwined his fingers with mine. My heart was probably racing faster than a racing car right now. I could feel my cheeks getting hotter.
"I did ask you to rest but I am selfish as well. Can you stay like this until I fall aslepp?"
"Is that all you need? I wonder why you ask so little from me when you have done so much for me."
Ryujin slowly shook his head.
"To you, this may seem little but you are giving me something more than I have ever asked for. Staying like this makes me feel good and don't belittle yourself for what you do for me. This moment to me is precious Ciel. I would be ready to gain these injuries again and again if I could stay with you like this forever."
After saying that he slowly closed his eyes.
I looked down and blushed even more. I put my other hand on my mouth to stop myself from giggling. I replied to him in a low voice.
"Idiot, you cannot say stuff like this to me. It makes me want you to be mine even more."
