The Hospital (Fluff)

Thoughts normal "speaking"

Streber's POV

I wake up in a bright room, sounds of beeps going in a steady beat. I look over to my right, only to see a heart monitor, the cause of the beeping. My head hurts.. Why does my left arm feel numb?.. I looked around a bit more, coming to the conclusion I was definitely in the hospital. Finally looking to my right, my eyes met with a man, holding his head in his hands. His face was tear stained and his hair was a total mess. The man was familiar to me. "Kevin..?" My voice was raspy and weak. The man's head was brought up almost immediately. "Streber!" The man sounded like he just had the best thing happen. He stood up quickly and rushed next to my bed and went to hug me. He stopped in his trail as if he was scared of something. "You're awake.. Thank god! I thought I was gonna lose you.. How do you feel?" His voice softened up. "I feel.. My arm feels numb.." Silence filled the room for a good minute before the shorter man broke it. "Streber, don't you remember..?" His voice changed to concern. I shook my head no. "What do you remember last?" "I remember uhm.. I was on the ground and bleeding. I was attacked.? Then... Those kids." I looked down and thought. Remembering the pain of my skin being torn on my arm, the bones separating and the muscles being pulled apart. It sent a shiver down my spine as I brought my right arm up to feel the left. I was surprised to feel a nub, my head rose at an angle, only to see my left arm missing. Only seeing a bandaged nub. "Kev.." "Don't worry Streber.. The doctor said you- well. If you woke up.. You'd have to wait for a few hours then you could come home!" The man smiled gently. "Kevin my arm.. Who.. What happened..?" I tried hard to remember but nothing came. The sight of two young boys looking at my body. Thinking it was a prop. I couldn't blame them though, they were just kids after all. "I.. Well I.." He sighed, I could tell he didn't know how to respond.

Kevin's POV

I was so happy that my friend was finally awake. I hate that I can't explain what happened. All I can say was what I saw. I sigh once more. "I'm sorry, I can't explain what happened that night.. I'd love to but I just can't.." "That's ok.. How did I get here though..?" "I found you after I got off work.." "I don't remember seeing you there." I look down at the man in the bed. "You were already unconscious.. You had bled out a lot that night." "Oh.." The man looked down for a moment then looked at me, tears formed in his eyes. "Hey it's ok..! You're awake now.." I've never been good at comforting. "Yeah but I.. I've never been more scared in my life.. It felt so painful.." The man's tears fell down his cheek as he looked away. "It's ok.. It's over now.." I take a seat on the bed's edge. Gaining confidence and taking the teary eyed man's hand. He looks at me quickly and slightly confused. "I'm sorry.." I lowered my head. "Sorry for what.? You didn't do anything..?" He stared at me with a sadder expression. "Exactly.. I should've been there for y-" "Kevin no. You didn't know what would happen that night and neither did I.. Don't blame yourself for this.." The man cut me off, reciprocating the hand I held, holding mine with a tighter squeeze. Silence once again filled the room. I decided to break it once again. "I know Streber but.. I can't help but feel guilty.." "Why..?" :Because I should've told you about those kids.. Pump and Skid are the names I believe. They bring me bad luck every year and this year they brought a murderer." The man seemed shocked as if he knew exactly what I was talking about. "He d-didn't have a devil costume.." He knew. I returned his stare, slightly nodding as a response. The silence grew once again only this time, it was loud and bone chilling. "He's gone now.. He's dead.." I say with confidence then look away. "Promise.?" The man looked down. "Promise." I read it in the newspapers and it was scattered among the variety of different news channels; I knew he was dead for a fact.

Streber's POV

I smiled with relief, knowing I would never have to fear the man who tore my arm off. I finally connected the pieces. "Good.." A doctor entered the room. "Ah Mr. Streber! Good to see you finally awake!" I look over at the cheery seeming doctor. "Hello sir.." I looked down. "How long has he been awake?" The doctor looked at Kevin. "At Least 20 minutes Dr. Biran." "Fantastic! Now. How do you feel?" "Well I don't have an arm anymore." I say sarcastically. The doctor's act wasn't fit for the time, it angered me a tad. The doctor walks over and checks my vitals. "Is he good to go yet?" The man I continue to hold hands with said with hope. "Soon, I need to get his medicine ready for you. You do remember you're gonna have to watch him and help him temporarily right?" "Yes sir," Kevin nodded. He's gonna be helping me? Wait, does that mean he's gonna stay with me? "I'm sorry, what?" I was genuinely confused by this. "I'm gonna stay with you for a bit, help you get used to the whole.. Single handed life. It'll only be for a bit though," He looked around a bit. "Wait wait wait so you're gonna like.. Temporarily live with me??" "Basically yeah." I was so excited by the fact Kevin would be staying with ME! That excitement was shortly stopped by a small realization. "But what about CandyClub?" "It's currently uh.. Closed.." The man shifted a bit. "Why?" "Mouse infestation.." The man chuckled nervously. I chuckled as well but in a happy way. "I see!" "I'll return with your medicine and some papers you'll need to sign. After all, you were here for about 3 weeks." "3 weeks?!" I didn't mean to raise my voice, it hurt when I did that. The doctor nodded then walked out. "I was here for 3 weeks..?" I look down. "Yeah.. Hey at least it wasn't months or years like other coma patients!" "I smiled more and looked at the man again. "You're right about that.. I guess you don't dream if you're in a coma though.. It's just a very long blink.." "Yeah.. good thing you couldn't hear me say I l-" He stopped himself fast and turned away from me. "Hm? Say you what?" "No no no nevermind! It's n-nothing!" The man said rather quickly. His voice was slightly higher. I knew he was lying though. "Aww c'mon! You can tell me!" I was really curious. According to the people I meet, I'm a 'ball of questions'. "I-it's nothing Streb, I swear!" "If it's nothing, why is it so bad to tell me?"

Kevin's POV

I feel my face get warmer. I almost told him while he was conscious! I can't tell him now. "B-because!" I tried not to stutter but I couldn't help it. "Nope, it has to be better than 'beca-" "Because I can't just go and tell you I love you while your cons-" I cut him off but suddenly stopped myself fast. My face felt really warm, I tugged my hand away and covered my mouth, looking away from the man fast. It was out. I said it. I told him I loved him. It was just about 10 seconds more of the silence before he broke it. "You love me..?" Here it comes. Here comes the rejections. Here comes another heartbreak. I nod hesitantly, not making eye contact. "L-like.. Like like?.." The man sounded shocked. "Yes.. Like like.." I felt my stomach drop hard.I heard a soft chuckle. "Well.. I l-like like you too, Candy Boy!" The man says happily. I looked over in surprise, my eyes met with the other blushing man. We were both locked in a staring contest, both of us blushing messes. "Y-you really.. R-really?" The man chuckled at my question. "Of course I do! I mean.. How could I not?" He looked away from me, I noticed him rub his neck. I smiled then scooched myself back to be next to him almost fully. He looked back at me and brought his hand down, returning my smile. I took advantage of him bringing his hand down, holding it gently. He reciprocated and held mine back. "Well.. Would this mean maybe.. Uhm.. Y-you know.." He looked around a bit then back at me. "Well.. I mean if you want.! I mean I would love to but of course it's all up to you, if you don;t wanna then we could forget this all happened but I mean you said you li-" My speedy sentence was suddenly cut off by a soft pair of lips. Streber was kissing me. Streber IS kissing me! I couldn't help but melt into the man as he pulled his hand away then wrapped his arm around me. I wrap my arms around his waist slowly. The doctor came in but stopped in his tracks. We both pulled away from each other and looked at him fast. "Sorry, I seem to be interrupting something so uhm.. Here." He sets down a few pill bottles then brings a wheelchair in. He then closes the door and leaves fast. Me and Streber look at eachother then start laughing, filling the room with a feeling of joy. The laughter dies down after a couple minutes. "I love you Streb.." "I love you too Candy Boy.." We shared one more kiss then got Streber checked out from the hospital, I gladly took him home. I was never happier.
