Hybrid [Mavin]

Chapter 9 - Bandaged up

Geoff, Michael, Gavin and Ray walked into Geoff's house. Ray and Michael were the most wounded during the battle they had, while Jack and Ryan weren't horribly damaged and took Lindsay to Barbara's.

When they pile into the main and surprisngly large bathroom, Geoff rumages through the cupboards. "Fuck, I need to find the bandages and shit, Michael and Ray can you help me look?" The two go to nod but when Gavin whimpers all attention goes to him. "What's wrong?" Gavin's ears press back against his head, tail curling between his legs.

"I...I d-dont want t-to be l-left alone...." Geoff sighs, scratching the side of his head before looking at Ray.

"Ok, Ray you come help me, Michael please stay here." Michael nods, watching as Ray and Geoff leave the bathroom. Michael looks back at Gavin, finding the hybrid curling up in a corner.

"Why are you still scared? That guy's in prison now." Gavin shrugs, he wasn't actually sure why he was still nervous, being scared all his life, the feeling kinda just comes comfortably and naturally. "Whatever." Gavin keeps his head down, hugging his legs closer to his chest when he could feel tears start to build. 'You don't have a reason to cry, don't cry, don't cry...' Gavin kept repeating to himself. He didn't have a reason to cry, and he didn't know why he was about to, but he couldn't hold in the tears.

Michael looked at Gavin when he heard sobbing, the hybrid burying his head into his arms and crying. If he didn't understand why the boy was bursting into tears, he would be growling at him to suck it up. But he did know why the hybrid was crying, and he had a pretty valid reason to. Michael sighed quietly, walking over to the shivering and crying hybrid, sitting next to him and laying an arm over his shoulders.

"It'll be ok, you that right?" It took a second before Michael saw Gavin's head nod slightly. "Besides, I'll protect you, ok?" Gavin nods again, pulling his head out if his arms.

"O-Ok..." Gavin jumped when the bathroom door was opened once again, Ray and Geoff walking in with medical supplies in hand.

"Michael? Is something wrong?" Geoff asked in a worried tone when he noticed the tears still falling down Gavin's face.

Michael shook his head, looking down at the hybrid, "no, he's fine, right?" Gavin looked up at Michael, the man smiling at him. Gavin's breath hitched slightly as he looked at Michael, but he didn't know why...

"Gavin?" Gav blinked a few times, looking at Geoff. "You ok?"

"Y-yeah...so-sorry..." Geoff shook his head and smiled.

"It's fine, as long as your ok. Come on, we need to take care of your wounds. I'll do you two last ok?" Geoff said, motioning to Ray and Michael at the end, the two guys nodding.

Geoff got Gavin to sit on the toilet seat, back facing him with legs on either side of the pipes. Geoff frowned as he noticed blood stains seeping through parts of Gavin's shirt, "can you take your shirt off please?" Gavin hesitantly does as told, flinching slightly at the quiet gasp he received from Ray and Geoff. Michael chose to turn his back, not wanting to see the damage done to Gavin.

Geoff went over to his supplies left on the bench, picking up a few things and walking back over to Gavin. He grabs a nearby towel, using it to soak up the blood that was running down Gavin's back. Gavin bit his lip when the towel made contact with the reopened scars, feeling Geoff make soft presses around it.

When Geoff pulled the towel off he dropped it beside him, picking up a clean cloth and a small bottle. He poured whatever was in the bottle onto the cloth, looking up at Gavin. "This is going to sting ok?" Gavin just nodded, gripping onto the sides of the seat to ready himself. As soon as the cloth made contact with his back he arched away from it, giving a broken and silent scream. Geoff quickly pulled the cloth away, sighing quietly. "Here, bite this, it'll help." Geoff handed Gavin a small rolled up towel, Gavin taking it and biting it gently. Geoff waited for Gavin to nod before pressing the cloth against Gavin's wound again, Gavin biting the towel with all his strength, yelping and whimpering into the material.

As Geoff continued to clean his back with the disinfectant, Gavin felt tears start to stream down his face. Areas on his back were numb by now, but new parts that Geoff just started working on were burning.

It felt like forever until Geoff finally finished, "ok, it's done. I'm just gonna wrap your back up ok?" Gavin nods, continuing to bite the towel in his mouth, hearing it rip as he did so.

Geoff grabbed the bandage and pulled some from the roll, "can you stand?" Gavin nodded slightly, taking the towel out of his mouth and standing up. Geoff walked around Gavin, wrapping the bandage around him tightly as he did so. When he was done, he cut a peice off, made sure the bandage wouldn't come undone and stepped back. "Ok, finished."

Gavin nodded, looking down at the torn up towel in his hands, sometimes his sharp teeth annoyed him.

"Don't worry about that, I can buy another." Gavin didn't bother answering, just sat on the edge of the bath. "Ok Ray, your turn."

"Oh, horray" Ray said in an over sarcastic tone. Geoff just chuckled and got Ray to sit on the toilet seat again, but facing Geoff. Geoff lifted up Ray's pant's leg to the top of his thigh, sighing quietly at the wound. It wasn't huge, but he had been cut rather deep, it was surprising he wasn't bleeding out.

"I'm gonna have to sew this up, you know that right?" Ray just nodded, looking up at Michael and Gavin who were sat on the side of the bath.

"Can you guys go? I don't want to sound like a little bitch in front of you," Ray chuckled. Michael looked up at Ray and smirked, shrugging and leaving with Gavin.

They go to the kitchen, Gavin sitting down at the table and Michael going through Geoff's fridge. When he successfully grabs a can of Red Bull, he sits next to Gav, popping open the can and basically chugged half the drink. He turns to Gavin, the hybrid looking down at the table twiddling his thumbs. "You ok?"

Gavin nods, "y-yeah..."

"You know, you can talk to me if somethings bugging you, right?"

"I kn-know..."

"Ok then," Michael decided not to go further into the conversation.

It was a few minutes before Geoff and Ray came out of the bathroom, Ray's leg stitched up perfectly. "Dam, you did a good job," Michael comments, looking at where the gash used to be on Ray's leg.

"Being a Doctor for a year paid off," Geoff answers, smiling at the two. "Do you think you need help Michael? You seem to be doing fine."

"Im good, a little dizzy, but I don't think I got anything worse than a dislocated wrist."

"Alright, then lets sleep, it's late."

"But where?" Ray asked. There weren't any other rooms, Gavin took up the only extra bed.

"Um...You can Michael can sleep on the couches, it's not horribly uncomfortable."

"N-no!" All attention turns to Gavin who is looking up at Geoff with wide eyes.

"Whats wrong?"

"I-I dont..."

"Want to left alone...ok... Can one of you stay with him?"

"Sure," Michael offers, standing up and looking down at Gavin.

"Ok then, Ray you take the couch, and Michael you sleep with Gavin, good. Im going to bed." Everyone splits up, heading to wherever they were going to sleep.

When Gavin and Michael walked into the room, Michael got Gavin into bed. As he was going to walk off and get ready to sleep on the floor, Gavin grabbed his shirt, stopping him. "What's wrong Gav?" Michael asked, turning to look at Gavin.

"I-I dont w-want to be l-left alone..."

"I'm not leaving, I'm sleeping on the floor." Gavin just shook his head, curling up into a ball when he felt tears well in his eyes. "Ok, ok...I can sleep with you if that'll make you feel better." Gavin nods, moving so Michael could get in. Michael sat on the edge of the bed, kicked off his shoes and crawled under the covers, facing Gavin.

As soon as it looked like Michael was comfortable, Gavin clung to him, burying his head into his chest. Michael's tensed, holding his breath for a second before relaxing, wrapping his arms around Gavin and holding him close. They both fell asleep minutes later.
