Ever since the instant with Rafal, in which he had severely damaged the cartilage in your right leg. The operation had been pretty painless, probably due to the strong pain medication you were given. But knowing they'd only been able to save half the cartridge, that was the worst part. You knew your life would change somehow. Little did you know that would mean using a cane for a little while. They couldn't tell you how long it would take for you to recover enough to longer need it, or if the cane was for life. You lay in the bed dosed up on morphine crying for the old you that Rafal had taken.

Lady Lesso, your girlfriend of 6 months, was worried sick about you. So much so she made sure to visit as soon as classes ended for the day. She would stay as long as the hospital allowed her to, always making sure to soothe you to sleep before she had to leave. During your little breakdown over the news you'd just been given by the doctors over an hour ago. When she arrived she hadn't expected you to be in tears sobbing silently to yourself. "Little one? What's wrong my love? Are you in pain?" She murmured alerting you to her presence.

"No" you choked out through sobs. Unable to tell her anything else, you curled up the best you could without moving your injured leg. She quickly came up to lay in the bed with you, holding you as gently as she could with cooing words of reassurance and comfort, not quite understanding what was causing such a reaction from you yet absolutely hating the idea that something was bothering you this deeply and she was powerless to stop it.

The nurse popped her head around the door and noticed the addition of the fiery red head in the bed, very early one the staff had learned to just accept it as the well known Dean was not one to be messed with especially when it comes to you. So they often just smile and carry on with their job. She entered the room with a cane calling your name to grab your attention. You immediately stiffed and peaked round your girlfriend to see the cane. You sobbed more at the sight of it, finally making it real and that's when it all clicked for Lesso.

Her cane was one of the many things you loved about her, you made sure to tell her that all the time. But loving her and her cane was completely different than loving yourself with one. Lesso remembers the frustration and anger she felt when she was given a cane for the first time, even the embarrassment not that she would admit it. She had endured that alone but would make damn sure you wouldn't.

The nurse left the cane with Lesso, clearly not getting through to you so hopefully she would, instructions to encourage you to take a few steps with it due to needing to use the injured leg to adjust now the stitches were healing well. Lesso nodded in understanding remembering when it was her in that bed, with her knee absolutely murdering her, she decided to take it slow with you. First thing first was to stop those tears caressing those beautiful cheeks of yours.

It took some time but you finally calmed in her arms. She held you a while just waiting for a sigh you were ready to try and you gave her that with a simple kiss to her cheek and a whispered "help me love?" Instantly she was up and rounding the bed helping you shuffle to sit both legs gently placed over the side of the bed. You sat for a few minutes just processing what you were going to do, after all you hadn't walked in such a long time. Lesso's words of encouragement and love never stopped flowing as she handed you your cane and helped you up to stand.

The pain shot through your leg like a match meeting gasoline. You let out a pained whimper and honestly you saw your girlfriends heart shatter at the sound. She continued to stay calm and collect and encourage you to move one foot at a time. Truly you tried to, you really did but it was excruciating and the pain in your hand from shifting all your weight onto one side was overwhelming. After all it felt so unnatural. Lesso was watching you intently for any signs you would be doing someone irrational, luckily for you she knew you like the back of her hand so when you threw your cane in frustration she was straight there holding you up before you could even meet the ground. "Hush love it's okay I know it's frustrating and I know it hurts but you will get the hang of it. I know you will" she comforted while holding you up right effectively acting as a human cane.

You stayed like that calming down your unexpected anger, lesso then reached for your cane and simply kissed the handle before handing it to you. "I kissed it so now i want you to remember that every time you hold it it's filled with love from me, can you do that little one?" You nodded and smiled at the cute little gesture of love that was reserved for you and you only. You got brave and you took one step, then another until you reached the other side of the room. "I did it! I did it love, did you see?" You squealed, so proud of yourself that the adrenaline was masking the pain. "I did little one well done my darling. How's the leg? Shall we sit? Give it a rest love?" She fired questions so quickly it was hard to know what to answer first. But she'd seen you do it and that made you so proud. Although now she'd mentioned it, your leg was hurting you, you let out a pained whimper and a plead "please love." She instantly came to gather you in her arms and carry you to the bed, her cane only needed when her knee was flaring up, most the time it was just for the aesthetic. She placed you down gently and dropped a sweet kiss to your lips. "Well done my love I'm so poured of you. You'll be all good to come back soon love"
