A Fresh Start

Chapter 4

"So, I've decided that you're being a terrible friend" Arm announced when in the morning he entered Pol's room. As soon as the nurses allowed him to do so.

"Seriously. Worst I've ever had" he added when Pol said nothing to that.

"Because you've got me so used to sleeping next to you so I was not able to fall asleep because of you not being there" he continued and went to sit down on the chain next to Pol's bed

"And now I am tired because of that. I hope you're happy" he said while reaching for Pol's hand

"Also the dreams I had..." he chuckled a bit and shook his head

"Come on Pol... you really need to wake up" he asked his best friend more seriously and little bit desperately and sighed when nothing happened

"I hope you know what day today is" Arm started

"That's right. Saturday. And you know what that means, don't you?"

"The next episode of our series is coming up tonight and guess what, if you will not wake up I will watch it without you and then come here and spoil you everything" Arm threatened Pol.

Their favorite series they are eagerly waiting to watch each week was something Arm always looked forward to. They gathered snacks, made themselves comfortable on the beds, one of the reasons why they decided to push them right next to each other by the way, and then they enjoyed the episode. But now when Pol would not be next to Arm he wasn't even in a mood to watch it. Without Pol it would not feel the same. They never watch the series when the other one isn't there anyway. It's Arm's and Pol's series, not Arm's or Pol's so they always watch together and when one of them can not be there, because of missions or something the other one simply waits when they are together again and then they watch the newest episode. Arm was sure Pol knew he would not watch the show without him but he still tried to blackmail his friend with spoilers to make him get better quicker.

"Do you want that? Me telling you what's going to happen to Tim? Or how will Dot and Lilly settle their argument?" Arm raised his eyebrows

"I think not, so... only one way to stop me from doing that" he squeezed Pol's arm a bit

"You know you're being really unbelievable right now, right?" Arm said a bit angry, not at Pol, just at his coma and stood up, feeling like he needed to move around a bit.

"I would never do this to you by the way" he said while pacing the floor

"Make you feel that way. You think it's ok to make me fall in love with you and then just be in a coma?" he looked at Pol

"Because it's not ok. It's a dick move, Pol" he said

"And if you'll be like that any longer I am going to go and plunder your secret snack stash. Of course I know about it, Pol" he went back to threatening Pol. He knows where Pol is hiding his snacks, and Arm has a feeling that Pol knows that Arm knows about it because everytime Arm is secretly going there for something sweet there are his favorite sweets as well, sweets Pol does not even like that much, so Arm feels like Pol is putting it there just for Arm and Arm always has to smile when he sees it there.

"Do you think that will make him wake up?" Porsche asked while closing the door and Arm looked at him. He was not sure how much Porsche heard but he hoped not more than he should have.

"I will do or say anything that will make him wake up" he said and Porsche chuckled a bit

"Nothing new yet then?" Porsche asked while going towards the bed.

"No" Arm sighed a bit

"I don't know if you care about that but Vegas is still alive. He should wake up soon. Pete does not want to leave his room until he does so and Macau's there with them as well" Porsche said, not sure if Arm cares for any updates of Vegas's health
