"Macy!!! We brought chocolate!!!" Benvolio shouted, slamming the recovery room door open, bounding in excitedly. He was immediately shushed by three frustrated nurses, but paid no mind to them as he ran over to where Mercutio was lying in her hospital bed.
"Hey Benny." She chuckled, running her fingers through Benvolio's blonde hair lovingly, making the boy croon into her touch.
"Hey Macy." Romeo said cooly, carrying a box of chocolates in one hand, other hand intertwining with Julian's. Whom was blushing slightly, resting his cheek against the taller boy's shoulder.
"Ben, you forgot these in the car." Romeo teased, holding out the red, heart-shaped box to the hyperactive boy. Ben glanced at his empty hands and did a double take.
"Woah, I did forget them didn't I?" He murmured, slightly in awe of himself.
"They were sitting on your seat in the car." Romeo smirked, holding out the box of chocolates yet again.
"Thank god I have you two here!" Ben said, running over and grabbing the box away from his cousin. He brought the chocolates back to Macy, opening the box himself while explaining each and every chocolate that he picked out at the store.
"You guys can come closer, you know. I'm pretty sure you can't get sick by touching me. Unlike some other people." She winked, chuckling at herself.
"What other people? Why are you blushing?" The blonde boy asked, raising his head and looking curiously around at the other boys' flushed faces.
"You don't need to know, Benny." Romeo snapped quickly, making the boy shrug and go back to busying himself by popping a chocolate in his mouth. The dark-haired boy stepped closer to Macy's hospital bed, his companion right beside him.
"I didn't know you had tattoos." Julian piped up, referring the moth on Mercutio's hip bone. Which was exposed to accommodate Macy's new bandages.
"Oh yeah. I got this one during a night out about a year ago."
"I should've suspected." The curly haired boy chuckled, leaning further on to Romeo's shoulder. Appealing banter was exchanged between the two, and the visit ended up being a lot less tense than Romeo though it would be. He and the two other boys stayed until the irritated nurses from before shooed them out of the recovery wing, saying it was late, and that Mercutio needed some rest.
