Stitches and dreams

(Sonic POV)

As I started to wake up I found myself somewhere else. My initial reaction was to panic at not knowing where I was or what time it was. I bolted up and felt a sharp pain in my side and cried out unintentionally. I heard a small gasp and clopping rushing toward me.

"Careful lay back down you can't bolt up like that or your going to open your wounds." Someone said softly, worriedly, like a mother would caring to her injured child.

But I'm not a child. Wait a minute. Clopping, mother like, soft voice, injury? That's right. THAT. I'm at fluttershy's recovering. My vision was blurry and I felt like I was in an oven. My head was spinning, my stomach wouldn't settle. I kicked off the blankets and tried to get up slowly this time. Only for dear ol ma to gently push me down.

"Careful Sonic you need to to let that wound close before getting up again." Fluttershy said worriedly.

"Mom, er I mean fluttershy I kinda want to get up now." I said sitting up, my stomach settling down with being rightside up my face red from accidentally calling her mom.

"Sonic you should really lay back down so that wound can close first then you can get up." Fluttershy pointed out and smiled when I called her mom as if saying it was ok.

I wanted to stand up but as soon as I fully woke up a smell hit my nose of crusted blood and hydrogen peroxide. Standing up was the least of my worries I smelled horrible. Then I remembered Dash was here to. I couldn't confront her smelling like this.

"Actually Fluttershy, can I take a shower instead. I reek." I said bluntly.

Fluttershy opened her mouth to say something but closed it. She thought for a moment before giving in.

"Well it's probably best you clean up now. If you need anything let me know. And heres some gauze for after the shower." She said before handing me a towel and some gauze. 

I suddenly felt guilty looking at the gauze she used to help "Dave". But forced myself to brush it off and started for the bathroom. I went in and closed the door and removed the already bloody gauze wrapped around my injury. It was pretty deep. I threw away the used gauze and undressed and carefully got into the shower. I turned on the shower and braced myself for the burn and sting that I knew was coming.

-----------------------------------------------(Fluttershy's POV)

I don't think I told him the worst part about his injury. He's going to need stitches. Sometime soon. Possibly today.

-----------------------------------------------(Rainbow POV)

I woke up and heard the shower running. Darn and I wanted the shower! I got up and Fluttershy was cleaning up the room. So sonic stole the shower. THANKS BRO! Although, it's probably best he got in. After all hydrogen peroxide could only do so much without help. I got up and tried to move my wing. I stopped after I felt pain shoot through it.

"Careful Rainbow stay off that wing till it's better you can't rush it." Fluttershy said making the bed I had been too lazy to make.

"It feels like I'm in the hospital again." I said leaning back dramatically almost falling over in the process.

"Well we might have to make the trip for Sonic. He's going to need stitches. Today." She said hesitantly.

The only thing Sonic hated as much as pools of water, was needles. 

"Did you tell him?" I asked knowing that she probably had not told him from her tone of guilt.

She said nothing. I took this moment to say something.
