Kaidan sat in the hospital lobby with a now cold cup off coffee in his hands. He hadn't even had a drop of it. He's been sitting there for two days straight, not budging an inch now matter how hard anyone tried. All he could think of was the image of Rev crawling out from the underneath the rubble. To think, that he and the rest of the normandy crew had held a ceremony for a man who thought to have died with his name on the memorial along with Anderson's. But afterwards, a part of him just couldn't accept it. Soon they received word that Rev was alive.
"Major Alenko?" A voice asked, capturing his attention. She was one of the nurses who was involved in Shepard's recovery. She looked tired, just as he was. But she was smiling. "He's alive." The nurse said plainly. "Let me see him! Can I see him!?" Kaidan asked, his spirits only rising higher as the nurse nodded and led him to the room where Rev was occupied.
"How..bad was it? His condition?" The biotic asked, worried. The nurse explained calmly. "Eighty percent of his body suffered second degree burns. He had four broken ribs and left leg. He lost a heavy amount of blood. I'm telling you, after how many times the commander has been saved from death, I'm starting to believe in god." The two laughed and she left for the man to visit his lover.
He saw Rev wearing one of those awful looking hospital gowns. Part of his face was bandaged and he was wearing a cast. Slowly the hero tried to sit up and Kaidan quickly helped him, only to be embraced by two firm arms. "You kept your promise.... I swore to keep mine." The brown haired man said. Kaidan began to shake and suddenly tears started falling. If he lost the man he loved a second time, it would literally break his heart. Thankfully, that won't happen.
