66 Failure Not An Option

( Rocky's POV )

After a hard day of training, Rocky was on his way to the infirmary to check on Sophia, as had become his ritual, when just outside the infirmary one of the medical staff recognised him and greeted him with a big smile.

"She's already awake, go meet her-" he said as Rocky entered the room with his eyebrows raised.

"Hey-" Sophia said weakly when she saw Rocky walking into the room with flowers as she tried and sat up while tidying her medical robes.

"Hey-" Rocky replied, handing over the flowers he brought to her, as Sophia held them and took in a nice whiff.

" They smell like grass…. What even is this flower?" She asked, as Rocky scratched his head and coughed.

" Ahem… that? Yeah, they're the flowers I found growing in the university, no idea what it is-" he confessed honestly as Sophia chuckled and replaced the fresh flowers he handed her with the one he brought yesterday, in the vase beside her.
