Espresseleine 

Injuries, near death, hospitallll

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Espresso slowly began to wake up, shuffling around in his sleep. He winced when pain shot through him, and he grumbled. Where.. was he? What had happened? The memories were slowly fading in, and he managed to open his eyes. He didn't have his glasses on, so his vision was blurry. He mumbled, trying to remember what had happened. He couldn't remember, and it bothered him. His head was hurting, well, his whole body was aching. He shuffled around a bit more, but tried to sit up. He winced, but managed to sit up straight, looking around him. He... he was in a hospital bed. He could barely see the white curtains, and he was also in a hospital gown. The memories were still fading in, and he looked at himself to see how bad his injuries were. He winced, his leg was wrapped in bandages, no longer in Madeleine's blue scarf. His arm was wrapped in a cast, and there were bandages all over his shoulder. His head hurt a lot, and he looked around to see if his glasses were nearby. On the nightstand were a pair of his spare glasses, and he put them on. There... now he could see better. He realized what had happened now, he had been in the forest, extremely hurt. Then.. he had heard Madeleine calling out for him, and he had used his last bit of magic to shoot it into the air. Then... Madeleine. Madeleine had been hurt. Espresso did get concerned,  but he didn't show it as he looked at the door to see it opening. Latte entered the room, but then looked at Espresso. She smiled, and immediately rushed over.

"Oh my gosh! I'm so glad you're okay-" Latte was cut off by Espresso holding up a hand, he was confused about something.

"What happened when Madeleine brought me back to the kingdom? I know you were there." Espresso was slightly curious on that. He had heard the two talking, but he hadn't heard what they had been saying. Latte fidgeted with her fingers for a moment, looking down before answering.

"Well... M-Madeleine brought you back to the kingdom, and I saw him carrying you as he emerged from the woods. Y-you were really hurt, but Madeleine..." Latte looked away, having a worried expression.

"He... he was a lot worse, he had a lot of injuries, but he was still having his shield slightly covering you when he emerged. I tried to insist to him that I bring you both to the hospital first then take care of him first, but he protested and convinced me to take you first to help you. I don't really know why he did that-" Latte stopped suddenly when she was interrupted by Espresso again, and she turned to frown at him, but stopped when she saw his expression.

"Wait, is um, is Madeleine okay now..?" Espresso couldn't hide the concern that was slightly on his face, but Latte nodded.

"Yes, he's resting in a nearby room... are you worried about him..?" Latte couldn't help but grin a little, and Espresso's face turned a bit red from embarrassment.

"W-what? No, I just want to make sure he didn't exert himself too much just for my safety. I tried to tell him but-" Espresso was obviously trying to change the subject, but saw Latte crossing her arms and raising an eyebrow at him. Espresso sighed and rolled his eyes.

"...Yes I would like to visit him." Espresso huffed, but was obviously embarrassed. Latte laughed a little, especially happy to see Espresso up again. She motioned for him to follow her, and he hesitantly got up from sitting in the bed. It hurt to put pressure on his leg, but he limped a little to follow Latte. She offered to help him walk, and he reluctantly agreed. He leaned on her as she brought him to the room, and he leaned against the wall.

"He's in there, I won't come with since I have something else to do, but he should be good and awake now. Um- despite his somewhat condition." Latte gave a small nervous smile, but then walked off. Espresso looked at the door, and sighed. He grabbed the doorknob, and turned it to open the door into the room. Once he was in, he looked at the bed. Madeleine was holding his shield, inspecting the large and deep cracks in the metal. He perked up at the sound of Espresso entering the room, and immediately smiled to see that Espresso was alright. Though... Espresso could see how Madeleine looked. First, he had a bandage wrapped around his head, but it was somewhat being bled through. Then there was a small bandage on his cheek. There was a bandage wrapped around his arm, that one also had some blood on it. Not to mention it was wrapped around his whole arm, and Espresso looked at the other wounds he could see. There were bandages wrapped around his chest, many bandages. The injury below was bleeding through the bandages sort of badly still, and the bandages might need to be changed soon. Madeleine didn't seem concerned, but Espresso was really concerned. He wasn't showing it, but he was worried about what other injuries Madeleine had that were hidden under the blanket. Madeleine frowned, and waved at Espresso.

"Espresso? I'm really glad you're okay! You should be thankful that I brought you back in time." Madeleine smiled proudly, though he winced slightly. Espresso didn't respond right away, he was still surprised and just- worried.

"You got yourself extremely hurt for me... what were you even thinking??" Espresso frowned at Madeleine, though he was also confused. Madeleine's smile faltered slightly, but it quickly came back.

"Because I needed to protect you obviously! You were way more hurt then me, so it was my duty to help you and bring you back safely." Madeleine still had a proud expression, but it was slightly strained. He was worried that Espresso was still hurt, plus, even though he- barely- had his shield... his sword. His sword had been mostly destroyed. He was sad about that, and his whole body was aching and hurting badly. But of course he didn't show it. He had to remain strong!

"Okay... but I'm always so rude to you, why would you do that for me..?" Espresso's expression was softening a little, he was still very confused.

"Because! Even if you were rude to me, it was still a good thing to do to help you! I'm always willing to help someone who is hurt, whether they were rude to me or not." Madeleine smiled a bit bigger, and Espresso looked away for a moment. After what seemed like a long pause, Espresso sighed.

"...Thanks for saving me." Espresso grumbled this, and Madeleine couldn't help the grin that spread across his face. He coughed a little, but held his hand up to his ear.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Madeleine grinned, and Espresso rolled his eyes, his face turning a bit red. 

"I said thank you." Espresso huffed, crossing his arms and walking- somewhat- back to the door. Madeleine laughed a bit, but even that was slightly strained.

"You're welcome! Get better soon Resso!" Madeleine didn't seem to mind the small nickname, but Espresso blushed, even if it couldn't be seen by Madeleine. Espresso waved him off.

"You get better as well, wouldn't want the Divine Commander staying the hospital for a long time." Espresso then exited the room after he said this, closing the door behind him. He jumped at Latte standing there, as if she had been...

"Were you EAVESDROPPING?!" Espresso sounded outraged, and Latte laughed a little, grinning as well. 

"Whatttt? Noooo, I just came conveniently to help you get back to your room." Latte was trying not to laugh at Espresso's now red with blush face, but Espresso mumbled and let Latte help him back to his room. Espresso would argue though on how it was just the heat and how Latte didn't hear anything, but Latte just shook her head. She knew the two would someday have to get together.

A/N: Hellooo! I was so excited to finish this my god- but I hope you all like it! I'm also getting so many Esspresseleine ideas my god, I'm really sorry but that might be the next few stories, Esspresseleine.
