Work Text:
I sit in that hospital bed. Everything seems fuzzy. Every footstep I hear I think it's him at the door.
But it never is.
A single tear traces down my cheek. I know if he was there, he would've wiped it away and hugged me and tell me he loves me.
And I would've said it back.
Because I do. Phineas Smith was and will forever be the love of my life.
Then I wake up.
~~~
I shoot up in bed as I hear my door creak open.
"Finny?" I say. There is silence.
"Oh autumn..." My mother says, with a laugh as she walks out.
~~~
I'd laid there for at least an hour before I hear my door creak open once again.
I don't sit up this time, as I know who it is.
He sits next to me, he moves the hair out of my face and I open my eyes. He smiles.
His smile, the one I only ever saw him use around me. I smile back as he wraps his arms around me and just holds me.
"I love you, Autumn Davis." He says.
I grin into his shoulder.
"I love you too, Phineas Smith."
He kisses the top of my head as we both drift off into a comfortable sleep.
Together.
~~~
Maybe tomorrow, I'll stand a chance.
