Shadows of the heart (MxMxMxMxM)

Chapter 71: Questioning

Back to Corbin's pov.

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

Whatever pain killer Ace had me on right now was an absolute doozy.

I could see sound.

Or at least it felt like I could.

The hours blurred together after Ace had left, Having only stayed with me until the drugs took effect.

I could just barely feel my dragons through our bond, All three of them as loopy as I am.

Eventually, Sleep overcame me, And I drifted off to rather interesting dreams. . .

Or at least I think I was dreaming, There is a good chance it was just the drugs fucking with my mind.

'Maybe you should stop calling the doctor prescribed medicine 'Drugs' ' Eige muttered slowly through our bond, His voice sluggish and his words slurred.

I mumbled something under my breath, Tuning out my dragons as they started to banter back and forth with each other.

A quiet knock on my room's door frame drew my attention to the salt and pepper haired man standing in the doorway.

''Hey there, Ace said it wouldn't be a good idea to give you coffee so I got you something almost as good'' Daxon murmured warmly, Moving to stand next to my bed, Holding a cup of what smelled like hot chocolate out for me.

Slowly, I pushed myself up on the bed until I was close enough to sitting as I could get.

''Thank you'' I whispered slowly, Struggling to form words instead of just random sounds.

The light hero handed me the drink, Making sure I had a good, Steady grip on it before letting go.

''How are you feeling?'' He asked gently, Pulling a chair up so he would be sitting next to me instead of across from me.

''I'm high as fuck'' I said, Using a stage whisper to speak quietly to him.

A small smile formed at that, A chuckle escaping him.

''Language'' He chided fondly, Not sounding upset in the slightest.

I took a sip of the coco, Humming happily at the warmth I could feel running down my throat, The taste exploding on my tongue.

''How're you and Ian?'' I asked as soon as I finished taking a sip, Speaking before he could.

Daxon's smile became a little sad at that.

''I am alright. . .Ian was sent home as he was getting very stressed out and worried about you'' Daxon explained slowly, Clearly picking his words carefully.

I giggled quietly, Understanding what he wasn't saying.

''So his powers went haywire and were causing a disturbance'' I guessed, Letting my head loll to the side as I stared at Daxon with a loopy grin.

My body felt both heavy and weightless at the same time.

''Has he. . .Lost control of his powers around you before?'' Daxon asked, His attention more fully on me.

I scrunched my nose up slightly, Making my sunglasses shift slightly on my face.

''No, Ian's the best, He's always trying to do his best.'' I muttered, Not liking Daxon assuming that Ian would loose control.

He doesn't get to speak about my boyfriend like that. . .

''He does great with his powers. I was a lot worse with mine when I was at his stage.'' I muttered defensively, The drugs running through my system were blocking a lot of higher thought, Despite that though, I felt a bit like I might have just said something wrong . . . 

Oh well. . .Can't be that important. . . 

Daxon had a very interested look on his face at that.

''You. . .Have powers?'' He asked, Slowly setting his cup of coffee down on the only side table in here.

Yawning, I followed suit, Setting my cup down next to his.

''What are your powers Corbin?'' He asked, His gentle smile back in place.

He seemed genuinely, Pleasantly curious.

I opened my mouth, About to answer the happy man in front of me before something stopped me.

''I. . .Don't think I was supposed to say that. . .'' I muttered slowly, Trying very desperately to get two brain cells to connect long enough for me to actually use my fucking brain.

Daxon frowned slightly, Not out of displeasure, But more so out of concern.

''Something about not showing other people my powers. . .Why again?'' I questioned out loud, Rubbing roughly at my forehead as I fought the drugs in my system.

''Corbin. . .Corbin!'' Daxon repeated until he had my attention.

''We'll put a pin in the whole powers thing, We'll come back to that later. You're healing right now, Don't want to risk any stress messing anything up'' Daxon soothed, Reaching out and gently patting my head.

A small sigh let me as I leaned into his touch, What little higher thought I had won quickly dispersed as the drugs did their job.

His hand is warm. . .

Closing my eyes, I leaned into him as he gently started to scratch at my scalp, Gently tugging his fingers through my hair every now and then.

''Why do you keep your hair so long? It hides your face'' Daxon murmured after a while, Still gently tending to me.

''Sometimes people get to be too much. . .I can hide away this way'' I muttered sleepily, Reaching an arm out to wrap around the waist of the man currently half sitting on the hospital bed.

Daxon hummed quietly at that, Gently brushing my hair back from my face.

''Who do you usually hide away from?'' He asked, Gently starting to divide some of my hair into little sections.

This is nice. . .He's nice and warm. . .

''Heros. . .Police. . .Loud people. . .People who draw a lot of attention'' I mumbled, My words dragging and slow as I spoke.

''I do hope you don't want to hide from Ian or I'' He muttered, Starting to braid the hair that had been covering my face.

Sighing out a laugh, I nuzzled my face closer to Daxon.

''Only sometimes. . .'' I whispered, Slowly opening my eyes again, My body feeling pleasantly heavy.

Daxon just shook his head, Smiling slightly before he seemed to remember something.

''One last question?'' Daxon requested kindly, Finishing braiding my hair out of my face.

I hummed in assent, Closing my eyes again.

''Who gave you this wound?'' Daxon asked.

Oh, I can answer that. . .
