After a tragic yet successful escape, your friends have been worried about you nonstop, since you wouldn't wake up and were asleep for the past 5 days. Tari however wasn't too fond of you dying on her, so she took precautions and made sure you were taken care of.

———

You slowly came to your senses and wake up, groggily looking around the room, you see Tari sleeping in a chair, then felt something was off..looking down, you find your arm completely missing.

Y/N: What the?!?-

You almost fell out of bed and knocked over a vase, shattering it, causing Tari to wake up and see you were awake.

Tari: Y/N!! Hey! Hey..it's ok...I..don't want you to panic, ok?..

Y/N: What..happened to my arm?!

Tari: You don't remember?..

Y/N: No..all I remember is...wait..Deathwave..he..he did this to me..is he-

Tari: Don't worry! The roof toppled down on him..tho..I don't know if it killed him..if not, then he won't find you here, he doesn't know where we live!

Y/N: True..true..man, it's gonna be hard to get around with one arm..

You sighed and looked at your stump, still trying to get used to it being gone..

Tari: Aw, don't worry! I can help you!

You appreciate her kindness, also a little bit strange that she'd help out like this..

Y/N: Tari..

Tari: Y-Yeah?

Y/N:..Why are you being so nice to me?.

Tari blushes immediately and avoids eye contact with you.

Tari: I...Well that's what friends do, right?..

You got a bit more suspicious..

Y/N: Then look me in the eye and tell me.

Tari: I-I...can't do that..

Y/N: Why not?.

Tari: Because I...

Y/N: Because why?..

Tari felt all the pressure and finally blurted it out..

Tari: B-BECAUSE I LIKE YOU!

This caught you off guard..but the more you thought about it, the softer your mood got.

Y/N: Oh...I'm sorry, for uh..all that..

Tari: I-It's ok..I just..wanted to do the things for you because I..well, like-like you...

Y/N: Aw..for real?..

Tari nodded, blushing lighter now.

Tari: Y-Yeah..but..can I..erm..Nevermind...

Y/N: What?

Tari: Nothing..

Y/N: Is there, something you want from me?..

Tari: Maybe..but, you promise not to get mad?..

Y/N: I promise, whatever it is you want, I'm sure it's not that bad..

Tari smiled a bit, gaining a bit more confidence than before..

Tari: Well..could I...kiss you?...

You then get an idea and answer back..

Y/N: Sure! But could I tell you a secret?.

Tari nodded, slowly walking toward you and meeting you closer.

Y/N: Well...

You then pull her in for a kiss, making her eyes shoot open and squeak in surprise, but very soonly, she eases into it and closed her eyes to enjoy every second of it.

Once you both pulled away, you both gained eye contact..

Y/N: You know something..I've always had a crush on you..ever since we met..

Tari giggles softly and tilts her head.

Tari: Really?.

Y/N: Oh yeah..you have no idea..

This made her smile even more and hug you close..

Tari: I-I...think we can make this work..

Y/N: Me too..

You gently hugged her back, you knew now that you'd need to adapt with Both a love relationship with her and being handicapped, but you were willing to take that challenge..

(What is love? Baby don't hurt me..)
