Swan X Reader - Part 20 (What About Us?)

It had been over five hours until the seven of you checked into the ER and none of you had been seen by a Doctor, Nurse, or specialist. You started to doubt that you had been forgotten about, but that wasn't the case. They knew you were waiting, you just had to be more patient. Things like this took a dreadful amount of time and a lot of patience.

The lot of you managed to pass the time with small conversations and some inside jokes trying to lighten the mood. After all, the ER wasn't the most joyful place to be and everyone seemed a little fed up.

There were a few people hunched over holding their stomachs, some vomiting and some groaning.

One guy was holding a bandage over his head that was slowly turning red.

There was also a construction worker with a metal pipe through his foot!

These people made your little posse look like you didn't need to be there.

After a little while longer into your wait, another gang associated guy walked into the ER. However, he was in hand and ankle cuffs, being escorted by two police officers. It was one of the Baseball Furies that Swan defended you from back in the park. His nose was bust, his jaw was swollen and he was limping. He must have been arrested recently since he wasn't in an orange jumpsuit and his "war paint" was still smudged on his face. You smirked at Swan and bit your lip trying not to laugh as the Fury stumbled past you in chains.

"Don't say anything." Swan muttered to you, seeing the same as you. "I ain't." You assured Swan finding it funny that karma had struck down one of the injured Furies. "Come on. We'll sit somewhere else." Swan ordered and moved the lot of you to avoid causing trouble with the Fury and the officers.

Once you re-located in the waiting area, you all kept your voices down and tried not to raise suspicion with the police or the hospital's security. None of you wanted to get kicked out and none of you certainly didn't want the police to click on to who you were. Even though, those two officers were there guarding a man under arrest, there was nothing stopping them from calling for back up to deal with you lot.

From then on, things got more and more boring. You waited a little while longer sitting in between Vermin and Swan. Your head resting on Swan's shoulder and eyes drifting off from time to time. Swan didn't move as you used him as a pillow for comfort. You found it sweet that he wasn't moving to keep you comfortable. However, he wasn't saying much to you or talking to anyone, unless he was spoken to. So maybe it wasn't so sweet after all? Swan was acting differently and you couldn't put your finger on it. Maybe he was just overtired and suffering from his injuries, but hiding the pain too? Meanwhile, Vermin was reading the latest 70's Disco magazine to keep his bored mind occupied on something besides the discomfort he was in.

"Mr Michos?" A Doctor called out from his office. "Now we're getting somewhere." Vermin got up from his seat as he was relieved that he was getting seen.

"Miss (L-N)?" A different Doctor called out your last name a few seconds later. "Finally. I'll see you guys in a few." You exhaled and got up from your seat seeing to the Doctor.

As you and Vermin were the first of the crew to be seen, it gave the rest of the fellas some optimism that their wait wasn't going to be much longer. Swan nodded as you left and got a concerned look from Cowboy who was sat opposite him.

"Why are you barely talking to her?" Cowboy suspiciously questioned Swan. "We're in an Emergency Room. I'm not gonna talk to her about us, while we're here." Swan replied and casually held his arms out. "You must be happy to see her at least?" Cowboy thought out loud as he leaned over to Swan. "I am." Swan slowly nodded. "Then show it. How can you not be pleased that she's sat by your side with her head on your shoulder?" Cowboy smiled with quiet enthusiasm, trying to lift the mood for Swan.
