Was it all worth it?

-Clove-

I ran for a copule of mintues or at least it felt like it."No Cato on the horizon." I said to myslef half whispering like someone could hear me and just dropped to the ground.What is happening? Why did i even help him.Why did he trusted me and let me do it.What happened to that stuborn jerk Cato Hadley i knew for all those years.Million thoughts rushing through my mind.
After some time,Still puzzled i got up and ran back to where he was.I was gone for around half an hour because sun was setting already.When i got back i tried to look as calm and colected as i could.I tried not to even look at him. Cato had other plans.

"Hey where did you went ,and why did you took off running?"

"Uh i just needed some alone time to clear my mind."I said not even looking at him.

"Hey look at me im not a dead body and im not sick or anything."

"Yes but you are you. Did i ever look at you when i didnt have to?"

"No." I heard him sigh.

"Anyways how do you feel?Is it getting better?"

"Uh yeah i mean i think so i cant see it so i think after all you have to check it."

"Okay lift that shirt up."I said turning to face him finally. "You didnt even bother to put your clothes back on?!Really Hadley?" I didnt yell but i raised my voice in frustration.

"Ummm no you told mw to lay down and dont move, so that's what i did.Anyways i think i look better like that and you just hate that ypu like what you see."Here we go that stupid smirk is back so is the flirt and jerk personality.

"You know what i think youre better.No point in checking that." I scoffed.

"Okay okay just check it and help me get dressed and i will shut up." He sound so desperate.

"Okay show it to me." I said walking up to him.As he pulled the jacket down to reveal the scars."Um that looks fine.Does it hurt?"

"No, now its fine"

"Erh i feel as uncomfortable with this question as you will probably but.Can i touch it loghtly and we will see how you react?" When the words left my mouth i felt my frace turn red.Good thing is that its all bloody from the fight with the bear still.

"Yeah i dont care what you do. Do what you have to do i mean.One more thing before you do anything.That blood suits you.You look even more scary."He smiled and a quiet laugh escaped his mouth beofre the grunt of the pain.

"It is bad then. You cant even laugh freely."I said sitthing next to him."Now just greeth your teeth and give me feedback when i stop. Okay?" He gave me a nod.

Three scares or should i call it burns now they were a little red still but nothing to worry in my eyes its normal it takes time to heal.I lightly put my fingers on the one closest to his sternum. Apparently he didnt like that.It caused his body to twitch but he didnt say anything so i made my way from the bottom to the top.
Puting as little pressure on it as i could.

"So how was that? And dont you dare lie."

"Not that bad. Hurts like hell but could be worst if the wounds were open."He looked at me and he was right with the secound one.

"Okay now we will move to those two." I pointed on the other burns and he just nodded.

Same reactions followed with the other injuries so its not so bad but its not good either.Now we can hope it will start to snow.Then i could make him some snow pads and it will give him some relive."Sit up Blondie we will get you dressed." I said to him and he sat up.
I put his longsleve back on him with a lot of trouble tgis man was huge and it dodnt want to budge in case of fitting him.After three tries we got the sleves on but the worst is ahead of us. We have to put it on him and the burns hurt on a little touch and it will be in constat contact with it.I did ehat i had to i just pulled it as fate as i could.I didnt stop even at the yells of pain.We got the worst part behind us.
