Leonardo DiCaprio Short Stories

Accidents V

I opened my eyes to be met with harsh, fluorescent lighting. Once my eyes adjusted, I realized that I had fallen asleep in one of the most uncomfortable hospital chairs to ever be made. I was sat right next to Leo's bed, our hands intertwined. I watched as his chest rose and fell with each peaceful breath he took. He looked so calm and so beautiful.

"Hey, good morning." Leo's mom whispered as she entered the hospital room, holding a tray full of soft foods and liquids. "I brought Leo some food, but I can go back down and grab you something if you would like."

"I'm all good, thank you. What time is it?" I looked at Leo who was still sleeping and brushed his hair out of his eyes and behind his ears. He still had stitches under his left eye and bruises in several places.

"It's almost 9. I'm just starting my shift, but you are welcome to stay as long as you'd like."

"When can we bring Leo home?"

"Probably in a few days. He has a lot of broken bones and it is easier for him to get taken care of here."

"I think I'm going to skip school today."

"That's fine, sweetie. Just make sure he eats, okay? He's getting too skinny just laying in this bed."

"I will. Thanks." I smiled as she left the room, leaving the tray of food on the bedside table. "Good morning, baby." I whispered as I gently kissed Leo's lips. When I got no reaction, I kissed him again and ran my tongue along his bottom lip, causing him to stick his tongue out at me.

"Good morning to you, too." He chuckled as he struggled to open his eyes. "You sleep good?"

"I've been more comfortable before, but I would sleep in this hard ass chair every night if it meant I could hold your hand."

"Come lay by me." He scooted over in the bed and patted the spot next to him.

"Leo, I don't want to hurt you."

"I'm not fragile." He laughed, pulling my arm to make me stand up.

"You literally are." I laughed back. "You broke almost every fucking bone imaginable, have stitches in several places, and you were in a fucking coma. That's pretty fragile."

"Shut up and come here." I gave in and laid next to Leo, him immediately wrapping his arms around my waist. I laid my head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. He took the palm of my hand and brought it up to his face, gently kissing my finger tips. "You are so perfect."

"Leo..." I chuckled, sitting up to kiss him. "Please heal faster so I can actually make out with you."

"We can make out right now, if you want." He smirked.

"Believe me, I want to, but I don't want to hurt you."

"You won't hurt me, I promise."

"Let's keep it PG at least until you get home."

"I can't wait to get home, then."

"Me too."

"Jesus, watch where you're going." Leo chuckled as I pushed his wheelchair into the house. "Fuck, (y/n), maybe I should've had my mom do this."

"Shut up, you ungrateful prick." I lightly punched his good shoulder, that being the one that wasn't dislocated. I helped him stand up and we very slowly made our way up the stairs. He had one arm slinged over my shoulder and the other gripped to the railing. After 10 minutes of hobbling, we finally made it to Leo's bedroom. I helped him take his shoes off and get into bed before walking out of the room.
