Of Fevers and Nightmares

As soon as Sir Lancelot left, Sonic sighed in relief since his heart was pounding so much and his face felt like it was on fire. Touching his own cheeks he couldn't tell if it was from being flustered or if it was from his body itself. He blinked as he heard footsteps from the hallway, when the door opened Lancelot, Percival and Maria came in. Maria was the best friend of Sir Lancelot and was trained in healing, medical treatment and was also a servant of Sonic. She was very kind, caring and gentle, the blonde haired moon elf was happy to help other people in need and was also good at creating potions.

"Sire, you are awake, thank goodness, i am so glad you are not unconcious anymore. I am here to check on your physical health, could you try to turn towards me?" Maria said in a gentle voice, to make sure that Sonic didn't get startled since she knew it wasn't good to scream around patients with possible post-traumatic expierences or the ones who just had woken up. Sonic just nodded without a reply. As Maria took care of his wounds he silently watched and when she was finished, Sonic laid down on the pillow and was really tired.
"Alright Your Highness, i am finished, you did great, also you should eat something small soon, maybe some light porridge should do the trick. I will inform the cook to bring you something later with your medicine. For now i know that you had some potion for the pain a while ago before you woke up. So it should last a bit until you can eat something. For now i'll take my leave, If something is wrong please call for me." With that, Maria stood up and soon left after bowing her head at Sonic.

There was a silence between the Knights and their King for a while, until Sonic broke it with an exhausted sigh. Thoughts were twirling around his mind,   which wasn't helping him and the way he was feeling right now. Useless, like a burden, weak, unable to run or to move on his own. He had to depend on others, but it wasn't what Sonic wanted.
But more important, he was getting more and more confused and frustrated by the fact that he couldn't remember what happend. The blue hedgehog felt kind of dizzy from overthinking. His cheeks looked flushed and his body felt like he was sitting in an oven but also like cold chills ran through his quills.
"I think you should get some sleep, Sire! You look really exhausted. Sir Lancelot will stay by your side in case anything is wrong." Sir Percival said with a quiet voice, before leaving with a bow, closing the door behind herself.

Sir Lancelot blinked at the sudden leave of Percival but didn't mind to look after Sonic. Actually it was something he wanted to do for so long. After a while Lance sat next to his now sleeping King. His hand reached out to hold his hand to comfort him.
When his hand made contact with Sonics hand, he felt the warmth from underneath the white but bloodstained gloves. He furrowed his eyebrow at that fact. Being curious and also getting worried, he reached out to feel Sonics cheeks and forehead. A small gasp escaped his mouth. Sonic was burning up with a fever.
Lance thought to himself and decided to get some cold water with a cloth. Returning from his little trip to the bathroom, the Knight heard small sounds of someone crying and he ran back to Sonic. "Sonic?" Lance looked very worried at Sonic who was crying in his sleep, having a Nightmare, while sweat was rolling down his face. With the cold cloth in his hand, the protector wiped his Kings face to help him cool down before putting it on his forehead, being careful with the bandages.

"It's okay, Sonic...I'm here. I'm not leaving." Lance whispered, seeing Sonic being in so much pain, broke his heart. To tell the truth, the Knight loved his King very much. Watching the King sacrifice himself for a tool like him was something he didn't understand. Lancelot took both of Sonics hands in his own while squeezing them for dear life.
"...Sonic, please never do this again...".
