Oneshots - Kayce Dutton Book 2

You're high as a kite right now.

Author's Choice :) 

Kayce was laying in the hospital bed when you got there. He still had on his clothes, but his shirt was partly off and a large bandage was now over his left shoulder. You could tell he was uncomfortable, his brows were pinched and there were deep lines around his eyes. Kayce's jaw was also tensed as he listened to whatever the nurse was telling him. 

"He's not gonna remember what she's saying," You said softly to the doctor next to you. "If I know Kayce...he's gonna try to walk right out of here the second she leaves." 

"Why do you think I called you the second I was told a young guy from the Yellowstone was being flown in here?" The doctor looked down at you with a smile. 

"I might not be the best person," You frowned. "Cause all I wanna do right now is go in there and beat his ass." 

"Well, that's between the two of you," The doctor chuckled. "He hasn't told us much. We just knw he came in with a gun shot wound on his left shoulder. It was a through shot, so we cleaned him up and tried to give him something for the pain but..."

"I'll do it," You sighed. "Thank you though." 

"Anytime, Y/N," The doctor smiled at you. "And whenever you wanna come back and be my charge nurse in the ER, doors open." 

"Thanks," You smiled. "But you know me...I love the little humans too much to leave the pediatrics floor." 

"Take care," The doctor patted your shoulder and walked off. 

The door to Kayce's room blew open, the poor nurse who had been in there looking irritated as her eyes locked on yours. 

"He's worse than his father!" She snapped as she walked past you.  

Taking a deep breath you walked into Kayce's room. He was standing, trying to get his shirt so, from what you could tell, he could button it and leave. 

"I'd take the IV drip if I were you," You said, shutting the door. "You're gonna wish you had it once your adrenaline wears off."  

"They called you?" Kayce asked. 

"You're an idiot," You snapped. "What happened?"

"I'm fine," Kayce sat back down on the bed, giving up trying to get his shirt to work. "It was a misunderstanding." 

"Who has misunderstandings that end in being shot?" You walked over to him. "Lay back down." 

"I'm fine, Y/N," Kayce looked up at you. 

"Lay down," You glared. 

Kayce let you pull his shirt back off as he laid back down against the pillow. You helped him get situated before you pulled over the IV bag already hanging from the pole. You stepped over and pulled the tray with the IV kit and then sat down near Kayce's waist. 

"Who shot you?" You asked as you pulled some gloves on. 

"You don't know him," Kayce sighed. 

You glared over at Kayce as you pulled his arm around next to you. After swiping some antiseptic along his skin you got the needle ready. As gently as you could, the needle pushed through Kayce's skin. After that, you made sure to connect it to the bag and tapped it down so it wouldn't bother him as much. 

You made sure it was starting to flow before you looked back down at him. There was regret in his eyes, but not for what happened. Kayce knew you hated this part of him. The part where danger followed him, where trouble was always near. It's what had led to your first breakup a year ago...after two years you said you couldn't do it anymore. 

But then Kayce came in with multiple gunshot wounds and loss of blood. You helped the emergency room team for three hours operate and bring him back. You then realized that even though there was danger, you needed Kayce in your life more. A year later, this was his first time back in the ER. 

Your grip on his arm had softened as you looked into his eyes. 

"Should we expect any more coming?" You asked softly. 

"No," Kayce shook his head. 

You nodded, removing your gloves and setting them on the tray next to the trash. You looked over his bandage now, the team had done a good job. Your fingers danced across Kayce's skin as you made sure everything was secure. 

"Thank you," Kayce whispered. 

You shook your head, leaning back so you could look down at him. His eyes were getting glossy, a clear sign the IV was working. 

"Who shot you?" You asked again. 

"An old friend of Dad's," Kayce sighed. 

"You Dutton's don't know what a real friendship is," You rolled your eyes. 

"You're my friend," Kayce mumbled. 

"I'm your girlfriend," You reached up and ran your fingers through Kayce's hair. "We sort of skipped the whole friend portion and went straight to dating." 

"Straight to fucking is more like it," Kayce gave you a lopsided grin. 

"Yeah, the medicine is working," You smiled. 

"You ever gonna let me do that again?" Kayce asked.

"Do what?" You were confused. 

"Fuck you again?" Kayce's blinked slowly up at you. 

"Baby..." You smirked. "We did that two nights ago." 

"No...that was love making," Kayce shook his head. "That's different." 

"Oh, okay," You smiled. "I didn't realize you had different definitions." 

"I do with you," Kayce nodded. 

"You're high as a kite right now," You said. "How's the shoulder feel?" 

"Feels great," Kayce leaned his head back with a sigh. "Always feels good when you take care of me." 

"Think you might be able to sleep for a little bit until I finish my shift upstairs?" You asked. "I only have two more hours and then I can drive us home." 

"Can I fuck you when we get home?" Kayce's eyes fluttered as he spoke. 

While Kayce wasn't usually this coarse with you, it was making you warm right now in the typically cold hospital room. You smiled, leaning down and pressing your lips gently to his. 

"Sure, baby," You kissed him again and pulled back. "You can fuck me when we get home." 

"Kiss me again," Kayce tugged on your scrub shirt seeing as both his arms were compromised some. 

You held both sides of his face as you leaned down and kissed him deeper than before. You broke the kiss and opened your eyes to see Kayce almost at the point where he was gonna pass out. 

"Go to sleep, baby," You whispered. "I'll be here when you wake up." 

"Love you," Kayce sighed as his eyes shut. 

"Love you too," You smiled as you watched Kayce fall asleep.
