Pain pt.2 // Jomike

Mike woke up. He didn't want to sleep but he did.
It was hard waking up without his boyfriend, knowing he's in the hospital. Knowing he's in pain. But he knew he's gonna be happy to see him.

So he instantly started making food for Jojo. He prepared the bed with cute pillows and blankets and even ran to the store to buy him some books, plushies and other things Jojo liked.
He layed out some clothes for him, that he newly washed and ironed.

He just wanted Jojo to be comfortable. So when he heard a knock on the door he instantly ran to open it.
Mike smiled of relief, he tried not to cry, "Aw, hi guppy-" He wanted to hug him but didn't want to hurt him.
Jojo looked weak and tired, his hair was a mess and he had dark circles around his eyes, "Hi.." He said weakly.

Mike let him in. Jojo was so sheepish, which made Mike's heart melt, "You wanna sleep for little bit? Get your energy up..."
Jojo looked at him and nodded and slowly walked to the bedroom. When he saw all the nice things on the bed, he almost burst out crying, "This is so sweet, thank you." Mike smiled and kissed his cheek, "I just want you to be comfortable." He help him lay down.

When Jojo was comfortable, Mike slowly lifted his shirt and saw the bandages, he choked up sadly, "My poor baby..." Jojo pressed his lips, "It hurts a little less."
Mike nodded and slowly ran his fingers where his cut is. Jojo instantly flinched, "Ow-" He closed his eyes, he was scared of hurting Mike's feelings. Mike instantly stopped, "So sorry baby, I didn't know it was going to hurt." He rolled his shirt down and pulled his blanket to Jojos chest. Mike kissed his forehead, "You sleep well, OK?"
"I'll try, I love you."
"Love you too." He smiled and left.

As soon as he got out of the room, Mike started silently crying. He felt bad for hurting him. He didn't mean to. He felt so horrible. He whispered, "I'm so sorry..." against the door.
He curled up on the couch to calm himself down.

After 10 minutes later, Mike he's the softest little call of his name. He instantly ran to the bedroom, "You OK?"
Jojo was still awake, he was sat up and nervously fiddling with his hand, "Hi babe..." He looked at Mike.
"You want something, cutie?" Mike sat on the edge of the bed.
Jojo nodded and pointed to a spot on the bed next to him, "Can you lay down with me? There's some room right there."
Mike's heart shattered, "Jojo- I'd love to, you're really adorable, but I don't want to hurt you-"
"Its ok we can be gentle." Jojo smiled hopefully, "Come on-"
"-no." Mike looked at Jojo who was on the blink of tears, he looked so heart broken, he sniffled, "Oh, ok..." and lay back down.
Mike kissed his cheek, "I'm sorry baby, I'm next door if you need me."
Jojo didn't say anything.
Mike sighed and sat back on the edge, he decided to make him smile. "I hope that Oscar didn't cut out anything vital."
"Like what?"
"Hmmm, well I hope your side is still ticklish, cause that's adorable."
Jojo giggled, "Its not vital."
Mike sighed dramatically, "Are you kidding?! I won't hear your cute laughter."
Jojo blushed and kept on giggling, "You still will."
Mike sighed again and flopped down dramatically, "It shall never be the same."
Jojo sat up, "Mike, it changes nothing-"
"You shall never laugh againnnn!-" He sobbed,
Jojo laughed and kissed his cheek, "You make me laugh."
Mike sat up and sat beside him, he lay his head on Jojo shoulder and nuzzled his neck. "I'm just glad your OK..."
Jojo giggled, "No- not nuzzles-"
Mike knows that tickles him, "I just wish I could take the pain away, you know."
Jojo went all red, and kept on laughing, "Babe- stop- it hurts when I laugh-"
Mike instantly stopped, "Sorry-"
Jojo put his hand on his side to stop the pain, he sniffled a little and Mike felt so bad.
Mike just wanted to see him smile.
He left with out a word

After a few hours, Jojo left the room to see Mike watching TV.  "Hi..." He joined him.
Mike looked at him, "Did you sleep well?"
Jojo smiled and nodded, "I'm sorry about before-"
"Nono- it's ok- you were in pain- I shouldn't have done that..."
"You were just trying to cheer me up it's ok."
"Then I'm sorry I upset you."
Jojo just sighed and lay his head on Mike's shoulder.
Mike looked at him, "You hungry?"
Jojo nodded.
"I made you some food." He smiled, "I remade the stir fry you said you like."
Jojo smiled, "I love that, babe."
"And you can enjoy that while reading, I brought you that book you kept glancing at in the library. But I have brought you others I don't think you've read before. Oh! And I got you some stuffies- I don't know if you like them- but, they're the animals you like."
Jojo went wide eyed, "I love you so much-" He mumbled and buried his face in Mikes shoulder.
Mike smiled, and gently hugged his shoulders. He kissed his cheek a few times, and didn't want to let go. Jojo was so precious, he cupped his face and kissed his nose, "Everything will be OK, I promise."

After Jojo ate, he got a book and was relaxing on the couch. Mike was just watching TV and playing with his hair. It was such a soft and cute moment, Mike said nothing to not ruin it.
"Mike?" Jojo looked up at his boyfriend,
Mike looked down at him, "Yes, baby?"
"Could you help me change my bandages?"
Mike nodded instantly, he'd love to help.
Jojo got up and went to the bathroom and Mike followed him.
They sat on the edge of the bath tub and Jojo took off his shirt, then he slowly took off the bandages.
Mike was all smiley happy to help until he saw the scar. A quick shiver went through him, it was horrific. He froze on the spot.
Jojo put the bandages in the bin beside him, "Can you pass me the-" He cut himself off when he saw the state Mike was in, "W-whats wrong?"
Mike, without thinking just said, "Its disgusting."
Jojo instantly felt insecure, he looked at his scar and tried not to cry, "I-im sorry...it really hurt- I didn't think it would be that bad...I just wanted to make the pain go away I didn't think about..."
Mike instantly realised what he did and went full comfort, "Nonono- I'm so sorry I didn't mean it like that- I just- it looked- i-" Mike didn't know what to say. He just looked down, "You want me to help-"
"No thank you...I'll do it by myself." Jojo sniffled.
Mike felt so bad, but he nodded and left.

Later that night, after getting ready for bed, Jojo climbed into bed. He got his blanket and his pillows, he was happy to finally be able to spend a night in his dorm and not in the hospital. He was all pink and smiley and Mike got into the bed beside him, they usually shared but it wasn't a good idea. As soon as Jojo lay down to get comfortable, he felt a shocking pain through his side, it hurt so much. He squirmed to try to get the pain away but it was useless. So he started whimpering in pain, whispering, ow, a bunch, Mike heard him and sat up. "You OK, Jojo? What's wrong?" He went to his bed.
"It hurts..." Jojo sniffled, "It hurts so much- make it stop-"
Mike felt bad he couldn't do anything so he sat beside him, "I'm sorry baby- you want some painkillers maybe-"
Jojo nodded, "Yes please."

Mike nodded and got him some, he also got him a water bottle. When he came back, he saw Jojo, sat up, in pain still. He was sniffling while cuddling a stuffie. He doesn't usually do that but he needed so much comfort at the moment he just wanted to have his boyfriend in his arms. As soon as Mike saw him, he gave him the painkillers and ran his fingers through his hair, "You OK?"
Jojo took the pill put the bottle down,
"I just want you...I want you to be close but I can't risk getting hurt. And you find me disgusting- and i-"
Mike instantly took both of his hand, "I don't. I really don't. I'm just so worried. You don't understand how much I worry Jojo. I had to see you bleed out and cry in pain- that is not something anyone wants to see." Mike had tears dripping down his cheek, "I love you. So much. I promise. I-"
Jojo hugged him instantly, he ignored the pain, Mike was in as much pain and he hated that, "I love you too...lay down next to me. Please, I don't care if you hurt me, I just want you."
Mike was hesitant but needed to have Jojo close. He lay down with Jojo gently in his arms.

Jojo took the stuffie that he had before. Mike smiled, "I knew you'd like the elephant."
Jojo shook his head, "Its not an elephant."
Mike looked at him, "Yes it is."
Jojo shook his head, "I thought it was a wooly mammoth."
Mike shook his head, "No, wooly mammoths a brown, this elephant is grey."
Jojo looked at his stuffie, "But...he's fluffy."
Mike's heart exploded, "Your right baby. Its a wooly mammoth."
