It had been touch and go for Michael because of the blood lose but the healers had done a good job of getting him back no mention he was a fighter just like most of his family. But that didn't stoop him from wanting to die when he woke up to the pain in his chest. Yeah, it was still sore. Just like most of his body was. He opened his eyes and looked at his bandage hand with a sigh. He hadn't done enough, she had gotten them. Except Amberley which was good. He didn't know about the others but for now he was fine not knowing. For now anyway.
He groaned as he leaned back on the pillows and finally with a sigh he started to relax and go over the vents through his mind trying to find some way of if he could have stopped it.

Piper knocked lightly on the outside of the door before peeking her head inside. She smiled lightly at Michael when she realized that he was awake, and tiptoed inside as if walking too loudly would somehow disrupt his comfort. She pulled a chair over and sat it next to the bed. "How are you feeling?" she whispered. She reached out, but her hand fell short before she touched him. She let out a tiny sigh and smiled again.
"Everything is going to be alright," she promised him. "There's a team of healers taking care of your family. They're going to be fine..." It hadn't seemed like it at first, especially when she'd seen the state that the pub had been in, but it was true. "The pub might need a little bit of uh...T.L.C...though..." she said, looking down at the ground for a moment, wringing her hands in her lap. "I know you probably don't really care about that right now, but..." But she didn't really know what else to say to him at the moment. She was just glad to see that her friend was alright. Friend. That was weird. Was that it?
"Do you need anything? Do you want me to get you something? Do you even want me here?" she fired off a set of questions. Sighing again, she looked down, unable to look him in the face. "Mike...at the pub, you said..." She paused. "It was your aunt that did this to you, wasn't it?" She reached out, gently touching his cheek for a moment before letting her hand fall away again. "I'll...I'll stop talking now." she whispered, looking away. "Sorry."

Micheal gave her a smile, "Well I've felt better." He noticed her hand and was a little disappionted that she had stopped. But then he felt a little ackward as well. So for now he just sat there and watched her. Course he knew what he had done that night, he still felt kind of bad for it cause he hadn't meant to. But then he also had too. That was the werid part. This whole day had turned out werid.
"The pub can be fixed, just glad my family is alright." He told her softly. He really did like the fact that she had come to see if he was alright. That was what friends did right? Right.
He smiled some more has she rambled off her questions even turned his head into her hand when she touched his cheek. But he quickly grabbed it before she could actually pull away. "To answer your questions, don't need anything right now. And yes I want you here. So that you can stop worrying about." He fell silent for a moment, "Yes it was her, she must of taken a polyjuice potion but it was her. She's the only one I know of that loves to torture people like this."
He gave her hand a squeeze, "So don't feel sorry. And don't shut up."

Piper chuckled nervously to herself, averting her gaze from his. He was alright...and that was the important part. They'd gotten there in time to save him and his family, which was much more than could be said when her family had been struck down. She hadn't been there then for the people she'd cared about. At least she hadn't failed this time. She met his gaze again and offered him a tiny smile, drumming her hands on her lap for a moment with no particular rhythm to it. She didn't really know what to do or what to say to him.
"The people here are taking very good care of them. Your family." Piper nodded, looking up to meet his eyes. "The pub is a crime scene. The attacker--" Piper cleared his throat. He'd said his aunt had done it. She knew what that felt like. "She attacked some muggles, too..." Piper's gaze fell to the ground. She cleared her throat before looking back up at him.
She bit her lip when Michael held her hand where it was at. She could feel her face reddening, but in this situation, it was impossible to look away from him. "Oh...okay..." she whispered. "I was just...I didn't want to bother you. Let me know if you...if you need anything." she added, a small smile coming to her lips.

Michael was fine just sitting there holding her hand, which should probably be a little weird considering their age difference but he didn't care about. It was comforting and they were friends prefectly normal for friends to do that. Didn't matter he liked seeing her blush.
"Doesn't surprise me, she likes attacking muggles when she isn't attacking her family." He told her softly. Then chuckled a bit, "Though in some weird way I guess I get a vaction from the pub. People have been trying to get me to take a break for awhile now. Guess now is as good as any right?" She probably thought he was crazy but he was just trying to get mood less serious.
He gave her hand a squeeze, "You'll be the first to know if you are ever bothering me. So I can tell you now that until I say, 'your bothering me' your not bothering me. So no worries alright?" He finished giving her a smile.

She offered him another small smile. It was easy enough to see that he was trying to lighten the mood, but her mind kept wandering. He and his entire family had nearly lost their lives. He was safe, though. He was. She sighed, a look of relief washing over her face for a moment. She wasn't usually the type to let her walls down, but now that she had started to try, it was becoming painfully obvious that things weren't quite going to work the way they had before. She couldn't simply brush everything off now that she'd actually started talking to other people. And with Michael, it seemed even harder. His situation hit so close to home for her. She was so glad to see him alive after what had happened to him and his family.
"I think when they meant for you to take a vacation, they didn't mean at St. Mungo's," she laughed, indulging his attempt at humor. "But I guess you're right." She looked away for a moment, still feeling a little bit embarrassed about all that had passed between them. She wasn't used to this at all, and being on foreign ground wasn't something that she liked to do very often. Still, she couldn't manage to pull her hand away. His cheek felt so warm.
Piper found herself lost in her own thoughts for a moment until she felt him squeeze her hand. She smiled at him again, and didn't even bother to turn away this time. "Al--Alright," she breathed, her voice barely above a whisper. "No worries." she nodded. It was nice seeing him smile like that. She hadn't been able to smile when she had been in his place. He seemed so much stronger than her. It was admirable. For the longest time, Piper hadn't believed such a thing to be possible of most humans.
Sighing, she finally let her hand drop from his cheek, although she only moved it to rest atop his hand. "You'll be good as new before they're finished with you," she said, her voice calm. "And I'll...I'll find your aunt. Someone with that much taint in their blood shouldn't be too hard to miss..." She hadn't even realized she'd spoken the last part out loud. She was much too busy getting lost in her own thoughts again. She squeezed his hand without even realizing it. "You just focus on getting better..." she whispered.

Michael was glad that he had started talking to people again though like Piper with his walls coming down it was harder to keep things hidden just like he could see it on her face how this was ffecting her. And that was something he was sorry for. But he was alive and Michael was happy about that.
Michael laughed some more though he did wince a little from the pain, "Well either way they can't tell me now that I need rest cause I'm getting it." He would let what had happened between them go for a little bit, just a little bit anyway. But that didn't mean wouldn't want to talk about it. Cause it was something that needed to be talked about.
He nodded though he knew that was a lie, she was worried about him and well he liked it. Still he was dealing with this the only way he knew how to just be greatful he was alive. He shook his head a bit, "Correction we will find my Aunt. And granted she might be tainted but I haven't been able to catch her yet and its been close to five years. But hey two heads work better than one."
He was quiet for a moment but then he got tired of that so he figured now was as good of time as any to talk about what happened that night, "Right first off, I know I kissed you. And well as much as I want to say sorry for doing it cause I don't normally do that. I can't so I wont. Feel free to be mad a t me if you like but I'm not taking it back."
He moved up against the pillows higher as he said, "Frankly I wouldn't mind doing more often but that is not my choice. But I do know I am glad I started talking to you. And I am glad that we can talk together, I don't want that to stop."
He chuckled then, "Wow if my siblings could hear me now, cause I'll tell you this. What I am doing now is so unlike me its not funny, but I don't care. Just like I know our age difference is enough to probably throw you off but I don't give a bloody dime about it. And that is all I have to say that." Though he couldn't help but not think that John would be proud of him for his tell it like it is session.

Piper chuckled when Michael spoke again. "You are getting plenty of rest," she echoed. "You need to give yourself the time to heal, anyway." She studied him for a moment, but apart from being in the hospital bed like he was, Michael looked almost the same as he always had. She smiled at that and relaxed a little bit.
Her expression grew somber when Michael corrected her, and she pouted her lip out a little bit as she looked at him. "We won't be doing anything until you're all better," she nodded. "But you're right. Two heads are better than one. Maybe somehow we can... Maybe there's a way to corner her, or catch her off guard..." Piper mused out loud. In truth, all she wanted was to catch the woman. She didn't really care about how it happened.
In the silence that fell between them, Piper found herself chewing on her bottom lip as she watched him, unsure of what to say or what to do. Should she stay? Should she go? Her mind was racing...and nothing could have prepared her for what happened next. When Michael finally spoke again, Piper's breath caught in her throat and her eyes widened on him. "You did?" Her fingers moved up to brush her lips, but still she couldn't take her eyes off of him. She'd thought that she'd dreamed it all up in her head. To have him confirm it was something that she hadn't been expecting at all. "I thought..." She stared at him, still surprised, and scooted herself forward in her chair. The truth was in his eyes, and she still couldn't bring herself to look away from him.
He continued to speak, and Piper wasn't even certain she'd heard it all in her state of surprise. She blinked several times as his mouth moved, unable to move herself from her seat. When he finished, she still sat there, her eyes locked with his. After a moment, she reached forward, taking his hand in hers again and giving it another light squeeze as her cheeks pinked.
"Mike, I... Uh..." Her entire face felt warm, and she couldn't help but wonder what she must look like. "I'm not..." She lifted his hand and turned it in her own before placing a light kiss to his knuckles. "I'm not mad at you." she finally whispered.

Michael shrugged a bit, "Well either way if I feel well enough they aren't keeping me when I don't want to be kept. Don't care what my brother says either." Course he wanted to leave right now but he did need the rest so he'd stay.
He smiled a bit as she pouted, well she did look cute and he wasn't going to lie. "Good, well if I find a weakness I'll let you know. So far I don't know any though Fallon would be the one to talk. For awhile she was Auntie's understudy." Michael was glad Fallon had given all that up course Ceara had seemed to have picked it up. Merlin only knows what herfather was teaching her now.
Michael shook his head, "No weren't dreaming." He knew he cought her off gaurd. But he never took his eyes off her. cause well it felt good to tell someone how he felt. Maybe he would do that more often wnho knows. He squeezed her hand back.
He let out a breath he hadn't known he had been holding when she said that she wasn't mad at him. Which was good, he gvae her a smile as he said, "Good, I was hoping you weren't." He gave her a wink as he said, "we can keep it a secret if you like, keep people from talking."
