Love At First Sight | Sky & Jao

24

It was clear to Sky that for Jao being hit by the car and finding out he had lost the use of his legs and taken a devastating effect on him, and understandably so.

Throughout the day Sky stayed at his boyfriend's bedside watching over him not wanting to step away even for a second.

Doctors and nurses came in and out of the room every so often to check on Jao and his heart monitor readings and thankfully nothing serious was happening.

Looking upon him with a soft loving gaze Sky sighed, right in an instant Jao's life had drastically changed. He would longer be able to half of the things he used to do before the accident but he would never stop Jao from doing the things that he wants to do.

Of course, now he would need help with things in day to day life but Sky knew he would never want to see his boyfriend struggle and would always be there for him.

For most of the day Jao had been asleep but that was to expected, he needed rest and a chance to build some of his energy back up.

Giving a small smile he watched as Jao slept peacefully, gently moving his hair out of the way of his eyes every so often.

His phone beeped alerting him of another notification and he couldn't help but smile. When he had first arrived at the hospital he had decided to send a message to their friends and family members explaining the situation and that they would be able to visit soon.

Almost immediately, everyone from friends to family had begun to send Sky heartfelt responses to what had happened and it was clear the way that people were responding they were very upset and devastated that he was in hit with a car and now paralysed but wished Jao a speedy recovery and hoped he would feel better soon.

Though it was understandable that Jao's family were the most heartbroken to hear what had happened to him and had messaged Sky privately to ask that he take good care of their boy and watch over him, of course, Sky had replied and promised he would be there for Jao.

For a while, the room was silent as Sky held Jao's hand in his until he was startled by Jao as he gasped for air as he coughed and vomited a little.

"Sky-"

"Shh I know it's alright, it's alright baby."

Quickly grabbing a handful of tissues, he wiped and cleaned his face.

Seeing he was upset Sky gently wiped away his tears.

"Hey, you're alright it's alright.", he said speaking softly.

Hearing Sky's voice and soothing words help him feel a little calmer but it didn't last long as he couldn't help but feel guilty.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Sky this is all my fault."

Sky shook his head in disagreement gently squeezing his hand, "No, no, stop don't you dare apologise."

"I should have been looking-"

"No Jao it's alright love, we know who's fault it was but I'm not going to speak of it now."

Leaning down as far as he could Sky wanted to hug his other half but was a little hesitant.

"Don't worry Sky it's alright, you won't hurt me I'm full to the brim with steel now.", he said softly accepting the hug.

Gently resting his head in the crook of Jao's neck they held each other for a while until Sky pulled away placing a kiss on his forehead.

"I love you Jao."

"I love you too."

The room was in silence for a few minutes until there was a knock at the door. The door opened to reveal the nurse looking after Jao during his stay in the hospital.

"Hello dear, how are you this afternoon?"

"I'm okay", he replied with a small smile.

"That's good to hear. Now you know that I'm here because your body needs to be rotated again."

Sky saw the nervous look in his eyes and quickly gave him comfort.

"it's okay."

With help from Sky, the nurse prepared to turn Jao on to his side.

"Okay, Jao are you ready?"

Jao didn't answer but gave her an unsure look.

"Alright one, two, three."

Both Sky and the Nurse guided him on his side but he immediately cried out in pain.

"Ow, ow stop, please."

The nurse sighed, patting him on the shoulder, "I'm sorry Jao but It has to done to make you don't get pains and sores."

Now laying on his side Jao took a few deep breaths as he heard Sky speak softly and calming him with soothing ministrations.
