My Sunflower My Universe//(Completed)

Chapter 9

Feeling trapped in his body, Tharn was now conscious and aware, but he couldn't yet open his eyes. His eyelids felt incredibly heavy and he was just exhausted. He was going to drift back asleep until a conversation picked his interest when he heard his name.

The voices were rather faint, but he could still hear them.

Doctor 1: "Mr. Tharn in there, if that's his real name, is healing incredibly fast and well."

Doc 2: "With the extent of his injuries, I thought for sure it would take him at least 3 months to more or less recover."

Doc 1: "What happened to his spine, is nothing short of a miracle. Now I believe he will be able to walk again... We need to study him further."

Doc 2: "Agree"

Fuck! I gotta get out here he thought, but he still couldn't move...
And then a clearer voice spoke. That person was way closer. That voice though, it made him shudder all over which traveled straight to his groin.

It's him ! He is here, next to me! I need to see him now. I NEED to get up NOW!

The machines hooked to him started going haywire.

*Mate's pov*

Ow! Is he trying to wake up? The machines are going nuts. He has been in a medically induced coma for the past 3 weeks now. His body was so broken, they thought he had fallen from a plane or something.

We still don't know how that happened, and how was he still alive or at least be recovering so well and so fast.

The doctors came rushing into the room before I got a chance to call them. They don't seem to think something is wrong. They were all incredibly shocked that he was fighting to wake up.

After  a few minutes an anesthesiologist walked in the room to reverse the process.

Finally he will wake up and then I can move on. For some reason, it's been really difficult leaving his side which is really crazy. I had the sudden urge to make sure he was OK and well taken care of.

Closing his eyes in frustration, he pinched the bridge of his nose and pass his fingers through his hair. He was also strangely nervous to finally meet him.

When I first saw him on the ground that day, I panicked. My heart felt like it was breaking seeing him that way. But why? Concerned would be understandable, heartbroken on the other hand... Smh... Weird.

His eyes were finally open, his doctors were fussing over him. Blood work, blood pressure, checks his reflexes etc... Through it all, he kept his gaze on me. Why in the world is that making me blush like an idiot? No-one has ever had that effect on me before, and even if they did it certainly wouldn't be a man.

The doctors and nurses finally left the room after letting him know he will need to stay in the hospital for another week or so to make sure that he is OK, and then afterwards he will be needing physical therapy for his legs.

The awkward silence kept on being interrupted by the beeping sounds of the machines in the room.

He is still looking at me?... I suddenly felt shy to look at him straight in the eyes. maybe I am sitting a bit too close to the bed?... I should say something...

Breath

"Hi, my name is Type, I..."

"you are the one who found me in the field am I correct ?"

Shook my head yes.
He suddenly grabbed my hand into his. I immediately felt a current traveling all over my body from the contact.....static? He wasn't shaking my hand, he just held on to it. I tried to gently take it away, but he held on tighter.

" Thank you... You saved my life Type. I am forever in your debt....My life is now yours."

That's a bit extreme.

"Oh no no please, anyone would have done the same. I am just glad you are OK now. You are healing remarkably well.

"Anyone didn't, you did and I'm forever grateful for that. He said smiling with a strange twinkle in his eyes.

Please let me make it up to you"

"Can I just have my hand back? I asked chuckling a bit, to show him  that I wasn't upset.

He looked at me then looked at our hands. Instead of letting go, he intertwined his fingers to mine and held on even tighter. He turned his head to the other side and mumbled before falling back asleep.

" I won't let go. From now on I'll protect and take care of you... My Sunflower."

My heart skipped a beat.

He is going to be trouble...
