TW's: doctors?

-Nick POV-

I woke up with Karl in my arms, I smiled and laid my cheek down on his head. About ten minutes later he woke up, wiggling in my arms and sighing. He brought his hands up to his face and rubbed his eyes, taking in a deep breath. 

We sat together, just waking up until I started getting up. Karl groaned about having to get up but did it anyway, we both got ready for school and walked out the door together. When we got on the sidewalk Karl's hand latched onto mine, intertwining our fingers and walking beside me. 

After school was over me and Karl went to soccer practice together, we were halfway through a scrimmage when someone made Karl fall, he fell down on his side and grabbed his ankle, he looked like he was trying to hold back tears and I jogged over to him. 

"Are you okay?" I asked him, looking at his face and then his ankle. 

He shook his head no so I picked him up bridal style, getting our stuff from the side and quickly walking toward the nurse's office in the main building near the campus. 

I took him inside and went up to the check in, I told the nurse about what happened and she told me to follow her. She led us down a long hallway and into a small room, the walls were blue and it had one of those hospital beds covered in a sheet of paper in it. I set Karl down on the bed and the nurse said that she would be back quickly, when she left I took his hand, wiping his tears off of his cheeks with my thumbs. 

"It'll be okay." I said reassuringly, planting a kiss on his forehead. 

I kneeled down next to him and whispered sweet nothings to him, he seemed to calm down a little bit so I continued. 

After a few minutes the nurse came back with a doctor, they told me to go in the waiting room and wait for him to be done. 

I ran back to the house a got my car, driving it back to the nurses office and waiting in the small waiting room. When I had been waiting for two hours I started to get nervous, just as I was about to call someone I saw Karl and a doctor walking out of the end of the hallway. Karl was wearing a cast on his ankle and he looked exhausted. I ran up to him and hugged him, he almost fell backward by the force so I pulled him more toward my chest. 

"Hi." He said into my chest. I rubbed my hands over his back and then pulled back, looking at the doctor and thanking him. 

The doctor said it was no problem and explained that medical were already paid for in the tuition so I didn't have anything to worry about. I thanked him again and took Karl's hand, walking him out to the car. 

Karl walked slowly so I slowed down too, I opened his door for him and he got in the car with some struggle. I walked around to my side and started the car, taking Karl's hand with one hand and using the other to drive. 

When we got to the dorms Karl got out of his door, stumbling a bit and leaning on me. "Are you tired?" I asked him softly, leaning on the side on the car door. 

"Yeah." He said back, hugging my torso. 

I ran one of my hands through his hair and peppered his face with small kisses, I then picked him up and he wrapped his legs around my waist and his arms got thrown around my shoulders. He put his face in my neck as I walked him up all the stairs to our dorm room. 

When I unlocked the door I walked over to his bed, setting him down. I took off his one cleat and shin guard, pulling off his sock and brushing his hair out of his eyes. 

"I'm going to go change, I'll be right back." I said to him gently, he nodded and I took a hoodie and sweatpants out of my closet. 

I went into a changing room in the bathroom and quickly took a shower, sweaty from stress and soccer. 

When I was done I came back in the room to see Karl on his phone, his eyes were droopy and he looked as if he was trying very hard to keep himself awake. 

I walked over to him, my hair dripping slightly onto my gray hoodie. 

"Give me your phone." I said to him, holding out my hand. 

He frowned but did as I said, "Go to sleep." I said to him, starting to walk away. 

I felt him grab my hand and pull me toward him, "Can you stay with me?" He asked me, giving me sad eyes. 

"Sure." I said, laying in his bed next to him. He rolled away from me and I spooned him, being careful of his hurt ankle. I brought my hand up to his arm and traced small patterns on his bare skin. 

I kissed him behind his ear and I felt as he started falling asleep, his breathing settling. 

"Goodnight flower." I whispered to him and then drifted off myself.
