This one is much longer since I had time to write it so enjoy!

Chapter 2

'''Keefe woke with a start. His head throbbed and his eyes still stung- why did they sting? He grappled with something in his hands. A blanket. It was fuzzy and he needed to take it off. Why? He was hot. Keefe smirked. He really was. He tossed the blanket to the ground. He was surprisingly strong for sleeping for a few months. '''

'''Keefe opened his eyes, the bright light making his head hurt even more. He turned his head to one side, then the other. Looking for something he wasn’t sure was there. Had it been a hallucination? He caught sight of something. A figure. '''

'''“Hello?” Keefe called, his voice gravelly. '''

'''“KEEFE!” three voices chorused. He heard rustling then stomping and then saw the sources of all three voices. '''

'''Ro cleared her throat. “Not that I was...worried or anything,” she mumbled, turning her pink-haired head away. Elwin chuckled. '''

'''“You need some medicine. You might feel strong right now, but in a few moments you’ll be weak and need to rest,” Elwin said turning to get some medicine. '''

'''The third and final voice came from a girl. To his disappointment, she wasn’t blonde. Instead, Biana was beet red and playing with her fingers nervously. '''

'''“Hey,” she said. Keefe gave her a small smile.'''

“Hi.”

'''Biana cleared her throat. “I, uh, just wanted to let you know that everyone missed you, and I was put on watch.”'''

'''Keefe smirked. “So you watched me sleep?” Biana’s eyes widened and she shook her head furiously all at the same time turning brighter red. '''

'''“Geez, relax! It was just a joke,” Keefe said enjoying her uncomfortableness. Biana opened her mouth, then closed it. She opened her mouth again and Keefe raised an eyebrow. She closed it and leaned down. She kissed Keefe on the cheek and quickly walked away. '''

'''Keefe frowned. He had always known that Biana liked him, but he thought she had gotten over that. '''

'''Ro came back and sat on the edge of his bed. Elwin came back as well and gave him a tray of colorful vials of liquid. '''

'''"You need to drink all of these. I'll give you a sedative when you're done talking," Elwin said walking away. Keefe sighed and picked up a purple vial. '''

'''"So, how much did you guys miss me?" Keefe asked unscrewing his vial. '''

'''"Oh, some of us missed our boy. Others..." Ro didn't finish her sentence looking down at her nails. Keefe made a face as he swallowed his medicine. '''

'''"How is Team Fancy-Pants holding up?" Keefe asked quickly unscrewing another vial eager to finish all the drugs.'''

'''"I...I think Sophie would be better to talk to," Ro said picking at nail polish on her finger nails. Keefe tilted his vial back and chugged the green goop. '''

'''"Why didn't you call me Hunkyhair when I woke up?" Keefe asked slyly fiddling with yet another vial of teal blue liquid. Ro smirked. '''

'''"I thought you were going to ask that," Ro said. She looked at Keefe. "Honestly? I just got excited. I mean THE Lord Hunkyhair finally woke up from his beauty sleep."'''

'''Keefe smirked. "I'm sorry that I was sleeping so long. I was emerged in the tragic romance of Bo and Ro." Ro rolled her eyes but didn't make a snappy comeback. '''

'''"Ro!" Elwin called. Ro sighed. '''

'''"I gotta go let you have some more beauty rest." she said, then she smiled and saluted. "Sweet dreams." '''

'''Keefe poured the last disgusting liquid down his throat and almost gagged. He knew what this was. His eyelids drooped and his chest felt heavy. '''

'''"Stupid sedative," he whispered. And then he fell asleep.'''
