You Never Know 2 (Ghost X Toast) (VenturianTale)

Recovery

Am I alive?
....
I'm breathing
..
I hear beeping
..
Why does my shoulder hurt?
..
What about the case?
..
Sir, are you okay?
..
Am I laying down?
..

"Mr. Ghost, can I offer you a drink while you wait. Coffee? Tea? Water?" A female voice said.

Tea..

"No thank you. I'm fine." Ghost paused. "I'm just worried about him."

"He's okay, yes, but he needs to recover. He lost a lot of blood while they were taking the bullet out of his shoulder."

"Thank you."

He felt a warm hand hold his. He smiled, at least tried to.

"Well, I will tell you this Johnny. I don't know if you can hear me, but here. The case was successful. Mr. Nilo was reunited with his wife and they moved on. The house has been put up for sale." Ghost smiled. "You got here in time because, surprisingly, Spooker and Colon helped you. They called you an ambulance. And I never left your side."

Right. But if it was successful, then what happened to Maxwell?

(Time skip to two hours later)

Toasts eyes opened slowly. He squeezed Ghosts hand as he looked around. He started giggling.

Ghost, himself, was asleep in the chair bedside the bed. His head resting on the back of the chair as he leaned back.

"Sir.." He said, using most of his strength.

"Mmh?" Came the reply.

Toast giggled at that. He smiled too at how cute Ghost looked.

"Why does my shoulder hurt?"

Ghost sat up and rubbed his face, letting go of Toasts hand.

"You got shot, Johnny."

"D-did I? I got shot?" He smiled. 

"It's not funny Joh-" Ghost stopped. He looked at him.

"I got shot and I lived through it." He said, sleepily. His eyes closed for a bit.

"Johnny, stay awake."

"But Sir, I'm so tired." He yawned.

Ghost leaned forward as Toast muttered something else.

"What was that?" Ghost asked, not quite understanding him after the second time.

"I can't British today, Sir."

He then went quiet as he fell asleep again.

A few seconds later, a nurse walked in and looked at them.

"We have some visitors for you." She smiled. Once she left, Spooker and Colon walked in.

"Hey. Has he woken up yet?" Colon pointed at Toast.

"Briefly. He was awake and then he went out again."

There was ten minutes of silence, before Toast opened his eyes again.

"I'm awake." He stared at the ceiling. "Can someone help me sit up please."

Colon sat him up and put some pillows behind him.

"How am I alive?" Toast asked, looking at Ghost. "I was sure that I wouldn't wake up."

"Well, it was risky." Spooker said, looking around the room.

"Yes. Thank you for helping me."

The nurse walked back in.

"I have good news." She smiled. "You can go home within four days."

Hey. I didn't really know how to end the chapter but as a warning now:
Things will get a bit tense in the next chapter. As in, someone comes around and stuff.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter though. Thanks for reading this Fan-fic.
