My Golden Boy (Rigel Wilde x Reader)

The coma and the court

As we see Lionel speeding towards we start running, we realize we can't out run him since he's driving a car, we all jump into the river, off the bridge. I come back up for air, but can't seem to find Rigel, Nica comes back up for air as well. "Where's Rigel?" I ask. We start swimming and find him sinking to the bottom of the river.  I grab ahold of him and start slightly smacking him. "Rigel? Rigel? Rigel!!!!" Nica hugs me as we both cry, before we can even think we are in the hospital. Nica's parents look at me, "aren't you supposed to be at the orphanage?" She asks me. I sigh and nod my head. I start to walk back to the dreadful grave,  but Mrs. Milligan stops me, "I'll get a fresh pair of clothes then take you back" I smile a bit and she does just that.

* time skip to a few days later*
We are in court to testify against how miss
Margaret  treated us, Peter who I honestly forgot about since he was adopted a few years back, he said nothing happened even though he was the one who wanted to do this in first place! Nica then goes up to the stand, she sighs before speaking, "we called the orphanage the grave because the wallpaper was peeling or the dark cellars we were locked into every day,  we called the grave because it was tomb for our soul, I don't have any physical scars of what she did to me but only now it has occurred to me that I'm not just here to report the evil done to me but to Adeline, Peter, and y/n and all those other kids, but to also condemn what she did to Rigel Wilde, Rigel who Margaret loved as a son..., was forced to watch us be tortured every day without being able to help us... she convinced him that he was the monster and she told him he was the wolf in the fairy tales, and when evil loves you how can you learn to love or to be loved? Rigel is now a coma but at least he's alive. I'd like y/n to finish for me if that's possible?" Nica asks.

"I don't see why not.." says the judge.
I sigh as I go back there, nervous about my testimony, but I began thinking that I'll be able to save myself and my friends, "Rigel being in that coma, hurts but he finally knows what it is to be loved and to love.., even if you don't believe us but I understand why people have been so afraid to tell testify or tell the truth even, and that's because, our souls are stuck there like prisoners in that orphanage we call the grave,in the dark cellars with no sky to look at, and no one taught us to love or to give love but we cannot be afraid, we need to have courage."

Nica and I start running towards the hospital. We get to Rigel's room. I sit next to him and Nica sits next to me. We both grab his hand, I shoot a small glare at her but then chuckle. "We won Rigel.... We beat miss Margaret, she can't hurt you or us anymore" we say.

I then squeeze his hand and kiss it, "Rigel I I don't know if you can hear me but I- I've been in love with you since we were kids, I know you were always there for me when I was in that dark cellar with y/b/f.... I am now here for you I will not leave your side. I love you Rigel Wilde, I've loved you since the day I met you. Thank you for being my best friend all these years especially when you tried to escape miss Margaret and hide in my bed. I miss you so much. Buy hey we won. So now we can be together forever and always right? I never believed you felt the same about me but I see that you do... I I love you so much please come back to me" I start crying and Nica hugs me. "That was beautiful y/n... he talked about you all the time, honestly-" Rigel's hand starts moving slowly and his eyes start opening up slowly. "RIGEL!" I say with a smile.

He smiles and says "I love you too y/n y/l/n" (your last name :) ) I've loved you since the day we met, it's been you always been you! I am glad to be your best friend and maybe one day I can be your boyfriend..." I feel tears streaming down my face and I kiss him. He kisses back. Nica scoffs "get a room you two" she says jokingly. The nurses come and run a few tests on Rigel to see if he can go back home. He then is able to. As we walk out of the hospital, I see Mrs. Milligan standing there with some lady... along with Adeline. "Y/n, Nica, and Rigel hello.." she says. "Hi Mrs. Milligan" I say. "This lady is my best friend and she lives right next door.. she was wondering if she could adopt you along with Adeline.. Adeline said yes! But now it's up to you to decide" Rigel looks up at me and nods. "Yes of course!!! I'd love that!" I say.
