Thrill ride (A Eric Sohn x male reader story)

Ch 6

(Eric's Pov)

Watching Sander leave I turn my attention to the tiny boy on the hospital bed it making him look even tinier. Noticing the scared look on his face his lip trembles and I immediately take a seat at the very end of the bed getting the little boy's attention. "Hey look it's okay." He looks at me fearfully and I make a funny face he seeming to calm down a little. I smile and make another funny face he letting out a little giggle that sounds a little weird. Once he calms down Sander comes back into the room with a young man in a lab coat he frowning when he sees the tiny boy. He starts to approach but the little boy immediately curls in on himself clutching his arm to his chest looking at the man in fear. The doctor frowns and Sander moves to the boys side cooing reassuringly. "Hey it's alright. We just want to make sure you're okay." He looks at Sander then the other man and shakes his head no reaching for Sander. The doctor seems to notice and speaks up. "Why don't you give him a check up while I observe." Sander blinks then nods and starts looking over the little boy cooing over him in a soothing voice and tickling him a little to make him laugh. I watch with a soft smile on my face and he finally looks at the little boys arm only to frown. "It's set out of place he'll probably need surgery." I frown at that feeling a little concerned but the older doctor nods. "I'll set up an operating room." My frown deepens when the man leaves I looking at Sander. "Surgery? Are you sure?" He gives a sad nod but says reassuringly. "It's a very simple procedure. We just put him to sleep and set the bone back in place and cast it. But I'm more concerned about the fact that he's so small, obviously underfed and has been clearly abused." I feel a little angry at the fact that someone could hurt a kid when suddenly the little boy moves and pokes my cheek I looking down at him with a soft smile. "Hey there little man." He smiles up at me then signs something with his hand Sander's eyes widening. "So he can communicate." I look at him curiously. "What'd he say?" Sander gives a little smile. "He said no sad. I think he's trying to comfort you." My expression softens and I look down at the little boy. "What's your name little guy?" He signs with his one hand again and Sander watches. "His name is Harry and he's five." I smile and coo at him. "You're a big boy." He nods smiling and Sander looks behind me with a slight frown I turning and see the young doctor with another much older doctor they walking into the room. "It's time for his surgery." The little boy moves closer to me looking scared and I frown Sander also frowning. Sander looks at the little boy with a reassuring smile. "It's going to be okay sweetie. You're just going to sleep and then when you wake up your arm won't hurt anymore." He pauses and looks at Sander who seems to watch him sign something before he turns to the other doctors. "Can I carry him to the operating room?" They both look at each other before nodding and I watch as Sander gently picks up the little boy and gives me a soft "I'll be right back" before he leaves the room I waiting there a little anxiously. After waiting about twenty minutes Sander comes back into the room and I give him a worried look. "Is he okay?" Sander nods reassuringly. "He was put under easily and they're setting his arm right now. He'll be given his own room until we can get some more information about him. Like for instance where he came from." I nod a frown on my face. "He's so tiny and sickly looking. And I can't believe anyone could be so cruel that they'd hurt a kid." Sander gives me a sympathetic smile. "There's some messed up people in this world Eric. Anyways I'm sure you need to get back to your dorm." I check the time on my phone seeing how late it is and the multiple text messages from my hyungs I giving a little sigh and text Jacob hyung to come pick me up. "Yeah I guess so." Sander seems to hesitate for a second before speaking up. "Maybe we can exchange numbers. So I can let you know when Harry makes it out of surgery." I immediately perk up at that and nod smiling unlocking my phone and pull up my contacts before handing it over to Sander he typing his information in. Once he's finished I take my phone back then give him my number and give a little smile. "I'll talk to you later. Please text me when Harry makes it out of surgery and wakes up." He nods assuring me he will and we start heading for the exit where I put my cap and mask on. I then wish Sander a soft goodbye before heading out of the hospital I going over to Jacob hyung's car where I get in and we drove to the dorm where I wait for Sanders text.
