Music Brought Us Together (Sett x Aphelios)

Awake - 33

Months past by and not much had changed Aphelios while not getting worse wasn't getting better either. There was some progress but he still slept unmoving day after day, the only thing confirming he was alive was his small chest gently rising and falling. The bands haven't been back to the studio since Aphelios was brought to the hospital, the record label said to take as much time as they need. As it was another band under their own label that did this, Zero Hour was silently released from the label and are still in jail. Sett, Kane and Ezreal cleared up Sera's name as she was the one that led them to Aphelios, she was released shortly from jail from what Ezreal told them. 

The K/DA girls brought flowers to the observation room daily to brighten up the place and asked once he can have them to move them into Aphelios room. He was still under quarantine as well but the doctors said his body temperature was regulating itself better now and they were less concerned of him getting a chill and his health spiraling.

All of HeartSteel was sitting in the room quiet just watching through the window for any new signs of life from Aphelios.

"You know once he wakes up, we'll have to exchange our Christmas presents. It's a few months late but I bet Phel got us the best gifts!" Ezreal said thinking of all the fun things they would do once Aphelios awoke.

"Heh he probably got you a dress. A nice vibrant lime green one with frills." Kayn laughed out causing K'Sante and Alune to chuckle. Sett stayed silent reeling in his own emotions thinking about the present he had bought Aphelios but was never able to give him.

"S-sh-shut up! He would not! I bet he got me something super cool that I can wear! Not a dress!" Ezreal shouted back to Kayn hitting him on the head watching as Kayn just laughed.

It made Alune a little happier seeing her friends staying positive during this time, she still had mixed feelings about Sett though. She fully understood now what happened and how Aphelios misunderstood what was said, but she wouldn't fully forgive Sett until her brother did. But she didn't snap at him anymore or make comments about who was at fault. Yone stayed by her side as well through this whole process helping with keeping the record label updated and dealing with concert requests and fan mail.

Another week had past and it was late at night in the hospital, Sett was alone in the room nodding off as Alune had left a few minutes ago to use the bathroom. The lights were still bright as if it were the day time and everything seemed the same. That was until nurses standing by Aphelios' bed stopped what they were doing and stared at him in shock. They were saying something to him which caught Sett's attention, he stood up quickly and saw something he wanted to see for a long time.

Aphelios felt the blackness he had be trapped in gradually slipping away as he slowly opened his eyes. Bright lights blinded him and when he tried to focus his eyes everything still seemed blurry, trying not to panic he closed and reopened his eyes which started to help. He saw people in white all around him his vision still blurred but he could tell they were staring at him. Confused and scared Aphelios sat up pushing himself as far away from the unknown people, but it didn't help his cause as he saw many hands rush to him trying to pin him down again.

'No! No get away! Get away from me!' Aphelios tried to scream but it only came as thoughts in him mind. His lips may have been moving but no sound escaped. He slapped as many hands away as he could causing what ever was attached to his arms to come loose. The more he moved the more pain he felt, but he was to scared to worry about pain. He was alone with people he doesn't know, he knew he would not allow himself to be captive again. He heard a loud noise and the door at the back of the room flung open with a large man with red hair charging in.

"Phel! Aphelios! Stop moving!" Sett yelled causing Aphelios to freeze just staring at Sett for a few moments.

'He...Sett is here?...why?' Aphelios started to think of the last day he saw Sett and the last time he heard Sett's voice. Slowly tears fell from his face as he reached his arm out to Sett.
