Thrill ride (A Eric Sohn x male reader story)

Ch 10

(Sander's Pov)

*a little earlier*

Sitting in the chair beside Harry's bed I read through a book while the small boy takes his nap. So absorbed in the book I don't hear the loud footsteps approaching the door until it bursts open my head shooting up in shock. I see a very tall muscular man who looks a lot older step into the room I immediately getting to my feet. "Excuse me you can't be in here." The man's gaze turns to me and he practically snarls out. "That boys my property and I want him back." My eyes narrow and I say firmly. "I'm not handing him over to you. You'll have to get to him through my cold dead hands." The man glares at me and suddenly pulls out a small gun my heart stopping in fear but I keep my stern look on my face to the man. Only to panic when he raises the gun to me I going to back away only to wince when I feel a sharp burning pain in my shoulder making me fall back onto the floor with a whimper. I then watch in panic as the man turns to Harry who looks terrified I immediately clambering to my feet slowly then I jump onto the man's back making him drop the gun in shock and put my arms around his neck in a choke hold he soon starting to go limp from lack of air I managing to hop off the man before he falls to the floor. I then quickly scoop up Harry and the stuffed fox I gave him ignoring the extreme pain in my shoulder as I rush from the room telling the nurses station to call security and the police. I then head down the hall away from the room with the man in it as far as possible and text Eric while gently bouncing and rubbing the little boys back to comfort Harry trying to calm him down. After awhile I finally get the tiny boy to go back to sleep when I suddenly spot Eric rushing as fast as he can out of the elevator I calling out loud enough for him to hear but not wake up Harry. "Eric!" He turns his head and looks at me worriedly as he hobbles over quickly. "Are you guys okay?" I gently hand Harry over to Eric wincing at my shoulder pain. "A man came into the room with a gun and started trying to take Harry away." I see Eric's eyes widen in panic as he stares at my shoulder. "Sander you're bleeding." I look down and sure enough my light blue shirt is soaked in blood I looking back up at Eric reassuringly even though I'm starting to feel dizzy from blood loss. "I'm fine the bullet went straight through I just need cleaned up." He gives me a worried panicked expression. "You need looked at immediately. Why didn't you tell anyone that you got shot?" I give him a small sheepish look. "I was trying to get Harry calmed down and didn't want to upset him by showing I was hurt." Eric gives me a look of disbelief but I say reassuringly reaching out for Harry. "Let me put him in a new room and I'll get doctor Chang to clean me up." Eric frowns but reluctantly hands him over to me I immediately heading into a new room and gently lay Harry on the bed. I then turn to Eric saying softly. "Stay here with him please I'm going to go get doctor Chang." He frowns but nods and I leave the room managing to find doctor Chang who follows me to Harry's new room after gathering a bunch of supplies he needs. I take a seat on the end of Harry's bed as the doctor gives me a look. "Take your shirt off and we'll see how bad it is." My cheeks tint pink but I nod and take my shirt off the doctor immediately pressing gauze against the wound for pressure. "Well it seems the bullet went straight through but I think we need to put you on antibiotics and have you take it easy for a little while." I give a little nod and once the bleeding stops doctor Chang bandages me up really well and I thank him carefully pulling a clean shirt back on. He nods giving me a kind smile and I watch him leave before turning to Eric who's been quiet. "You alright over there?" He looks up at me with a frown. "I should have been here. You guys needed me and I wasn't here." I immediately give him a look my ears flattening against my head. "Eric it's best that you weren't here because who knows if he'd have hurt you too." He goes to say something but I give him a stern look snapping. "No. Im glad you didn't have to worry about your life. And Harry and I are fine so just be glad that we're okay." He backs down a little and gives a little nod I smiling and suddenly rub my eyes looking tired. "You should rest." I immediately go to protest but see the stern look on his face my stomach twisting a little because he looks really hot. Swallowing I reluctantly back down and get up going to take a seat in one of the chairs when I'm suddenly pulled onto Eric's lap making me gasp and blush. "Eric I don't want you to be sore again." He gives me a reassuring smile. "It's fine you've had a rough day. Now get some rest." I grumble a little but slowly relax and lay my head on his shoulder dozing off clinging onto him a little.
