Left For Dead - Kacey x Reader

•Three•

Kacey and I talked for a long time. The nurse came in and out, giving us both medicine and food.

Kacey was really friendly and we talked a lot about books that we liked. I was sad I couldn't read, because my arm was broken.

"Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl, and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole his whole life answering." Kacey had decided to read to me, he was reading The History Of Love to me.

He gazed at me while he read the line, eyes full of an emotion I couldn't place. Pity? Sympathy?

He closed the book gently. "I think that's enough for tonight." He smiled at me warmly, and set the book on his bedside table. He clicked of the light. I turned off mine, and tried to sleep.

I turned a corner. I had been down this road before. It was lush and had the most green trees. Headlights blazed in front of my eyes. The truck turned the corner, slamming into me. I felt myself fly from the bike, hitting the asphalt. Tires squealed and something incredibly heavy was on my stomach. It got off and then on again, crushing my insides. The truck drove away, leaving me in the road, bleeding into the asphalt.

I woke up screaming, hot tears bubbling down my cheeks. Kacey was wide awake. Even though his shin was shattered, and his back was in a brace, he hobbled over to me.

He sat down on the bed, stroking my hair, whispering that it was over now. I was still sobbing. I eventually calmed down enough to lay back down.

Kacey moved to get up, but I grabbed his sleeve. "Please don't go." I whispered. His eyes were full of compassion. "I won't leave." I scooted over as much as I could, and Kacey laid down next to me.

His body was keeping me warm, so they blanket was on my feet. I was still wide awake. So Kacey stroked my hair again, and started singing a lullaby. His voice sounded like an angels choir.

I drifted off to sleep, still wrapped in his arms.

Kacey's POV
~~~
She was sleeping, small snores coming from her mouth. I held her close, trying to warm her up. Her skin was ice cold. I reached down and pulled up the blankets.

I pulled them over us, making sure she was tucked in. I pressed my face into her hair, my head in the crook of her neck.

I will protect her.

(Name)'s POV
~~~~
I woke to warmth. There was air against my neck. I looked around, and saw Kacey pressed against me.

He stayed with me through the night. I brushed his hair out of his face. He was still sound asleep. I smiled and touched his face gently.

He moved and opened his eyes to my face inches from his. He smiled, cheeks bright red. "G-good mor-rning." He squeaked out, stuttering. I smiled. "Thank you for staying with me." He blushed harder and looked away.

"I-I..."

The nurse walked in. She was holding two trays of food. She smirked when she saw us. "Getting busy,hmm?"

We both turned red and stuttered out nonsense.
