[I Caught you!] Cartoon Cat x Reader ((Discontinued))

Busted...

Apple_woman: Jk comfort/fluff :p is the next chapter I keep writing filler I need to stop

     Jorn stands at the room's door, eyebrows furrowed and face twisted into an angry frown. I guess he wants me to explain or something.
CC stands abruptly and walks towards Jorn. I was a bit worried about what works happen, I almost jump out of bed when Jorn rushed over to CC I flinched, moving around, regardless of the casts that restricted me.

     "YOU'VE BEEN DATIN' MY KID?!" Jorn grabbed CC roughly around the shoulders and shook him a little. Despite the bad 'first' impression CC still smiled, more of a grin really, and spoke.

     "That's me! The one and only. They haven't told 'ya about me yet?" CC tilted his head, moving his hands to grip the wrists of Jorn who was still holding his shoulders. "Y/n- 'ya are so mean! Forgetting to tell your guardian about me!" He turned his head to face me with a pour coming to his lips.

     "How long ya been dating..." Jorn loosens his grip and turns to me for an answer, I freeze a bit, I have no idea what answer would sound believable. I look at CC who was then looking at me. I think he sensed the panic just by looking into my eyes. He was quick to answer, but by God did I hate the answer!

    "Ehh... I'd have to say..." CC shook his head while thinking, "Six months or more! I even remember how we met just like yesterday!" CC glanced at me looking a little too proud. I just shoot him a quick glare then returned to looking at Jorn. I hope he doesn't sense any lie.

     Jorn looks furious, he turns to me with his eyebrows raised. "WHY DIN'T YOU TELL ME?!" I was thinking for a second before answering with a small, timid voice. "I'm 25- I don't need to tell you if I'm dating someone or not..." I look at him with a bit of fear on my face, Jorn usually was like this whenever he got angry like he was back at my first encounter at the mall. CC looked at me while Jorn approached my bed, Jorn grabbed my shoulders and shook me violently, I left a pain in my sides near the cast. I wince in pain and look at Jorn who was pulled away by a nurse who was just outside.

     "Sir, please- you cannot treat the patient this way, regardless of your relations." The nurse said trying to keep Jorn away from me.

     Jorn just shoved off her hand and pushed away CC on the way out. CC's eyes widened and he narrowed his gaze at Jorn, he then made his way out but I could see he took a different path than Jorn, I sigh and ask the nurse to leave but she hesitantly does so.

     I can't believe it, Jorn's mad at me for dating someone which he says he needs to know about even though I'm old enough to take care of myself. I don't need to tell him I'm dating anyone, regardless if it is CC why do I need to tell him anything about my love life? I'm 25 for god's sake, not a love-gushing 17-year-old who is introducing their partner to their parents. I'm embarrassed that CC and the nurse had to see or even hear that. I just lay back down into my pillow and try to forget the newly made awkward memory out of my head, I'm honestly more concerned about Jorn than anything. How's he gonna take this information of me in a relationship? I really shouldn't care as much as I do right now...is that a bad thing? Should I care? C'mon Y/n...you're better than this! Just forget about it!!! 
   
     I try and lay on my side but with all the casts and the sling that is suspending my covered leg it is proven to be a bit uncomfortable and maybe a little painful too...so I just stay laying on my back. I turn the TV off which was still playing the news, yet this time it was about the weather for this week. Apparently, it was going to be a bit windy and sunny most of the time, maybe I should go out to the garden that the hospital has to offer for mental therapy and emotional therapy. I heard that the garden is pretty big here compared to the hospitals in other areas, it even had a fountain (that doesn't run to my knowledge, because it was filled with koi fish! Only a few though.)

     I smile a bit thinking about what later today had to offer, I brushed off the past interactions as a small hiccup. But I still feel-...how do I describe it? Do you ever feel a pit in your chest whenever you feel embarrassed or cringed...is that just me? Well, I'm feeling that as of right now...and it kinda bothers me which stops me from napping to get rid of the time and my sleepiness. 

     The room is silent, save for the fan above making white noise. I suppose it isn't that silent then. I just lay staring at the ceiling until I remember something- Bryson! Heck, I remember he gave me his number. I haven't called or texted at all! I remember that the nurse said I could press the button to get her to come here. 

     I pressed the button and about 3 or 4 minutes later she arrives. "Yes? How can I help you?" She asks approaching me and then sitting down on the chair that was near my bed. 

     "I just wanted to ask if  I could have my phone?" I say sitting up from my laying down state.

     "Yes, but I do ask you to silence it because some doctors mistake the noises as a more...urgent sound." The nurse walked out of the room and returned 10 or so minutes afterward with my phone. I thanked her and she left with a smile on her face. 

     I tap Bryson's number (which I surprisingly remember) into the messaging app. I hesitate while looking at the chat that popped up. I pulled up the keyboard and typed a measly 'Hi Bryson'

XXX-385-1934

                                              Hi, Bryson?? if it's u
                                                       

     The 3 dots that wave around kind of surprised me when I saw them, I was scared of what he'd say...

Bryson
                                               Hi, Bryson?? if it's u

Omw 

Lol ok

     I wait for Bryson and while doing so I put my phone on silent and on vibrate. 

~~~~

     Bryson enters alongside the nurse from before, he waves at me flashing a sweet smile and heads over to the bed. 

"Wow, you look-..." I cut him off

     "Great, I look great." I smile with sarcasm lacing my words. "Yup...you look great. Totally not terrible." I laugh at his statement.

     "Yes, I am aware I don't look the best okay? It's not every day you get a broken leg AND rib...s? I don't know how many I broke but that doesn't matter." I joke. He looks at me without answering and I kinda get weirded out but I just laugh it off.

     "So, how have you been? It's been a few days since we spoke huh?" I shift in my bed to look at him better, he made a thinking position as he looked at me. "It's been rather decent? I dunno, kinda boring...how's D/n doing?" He leaned back in the cushioned chair and he crossed his legs over each other, he was wearing a gray sweater with black sweats his hair was black and short, and it covered only a bit of his brown eyes before he brushed it away. He had freckles that I couldn't see before, were all over his forehead and cheeks.

     "Y/n...you're staring you know?" I blink a few times before blushing and turning away. "Sorry! I- uh I was just spacing out. D/n's been doing great! I have someone taking care of him at the moment, he's a co-worker of mine." 

     "Oh, who is he?" A sudden change in his voice, it was now more menacing than kind like before his looks of happiness also changes into that of an upset one. 

     "He's kinda like a Dad to me? I've known him ever since I was a kid..." I smile nervously.

    His expression changes back to a happy one. I was a bit uncomfortable but I didn't let that show. We continue to talk about random topics, getting to know each other more, of course, there was an occasional unsettling feeling that settled in my body when talking to him. I just brushed off the feeling that he makes me uneasy. It's just the feeling of talking to new people, right? Just the natural nervousness...right?

     Visiting hours seemed to end slower when talking to Bryson, honestly, I was really hoping they'd end quicker! Talking with Bryson wasn't...bad per-say, but it wasn't really good. Unlike talking with CC I guess he's annoying enough to get through the time faster, and his company which is (and I hate to say it) admittingly nice, and he's pretty funny. On the other hand, Bryson...He kept eyeing me and sometimes touching my hand, I didn't want to say anything about it, but it was really weird, I hope probably just a friend thing. 

     It was about 9:12 pm so I was eager to see the city lights, this hospital was pretty large and I was guessing I was on the top floor or near there. I ask my nurse to open the curtains and after I thank her, I feel bad for asking so much for her but before I say sorry she's out the door.

     The lights pop out more as my room's lights are now off. I see cars driving beneath and people who look so small moving in and out of shops. A few more minutes later I close my eyes and fall asleep. I should...vi..visit..the ga-garden to..m.marrow...


Apple_woman: I keep forgetting if the W in woman in my user is capital or lowercase...anyways, git ready for the next chapter! I haven't looked over this chapter yet so expect mistakes or -- something. I'll remove this thing when I do :p (also- something kinda sad, I accidentally deleted part of a paragraph twice while writing this so that's a thing.)
