Dylan p.o.v

I stare at the staples on Danny's head while he sleeps by my side. Danny hates this new scar addition to his body. He hates all of his scars, but this one is quickly becoming the first one on his list of things about his body that he hates. Today he is getting the staples removed and some physio sessions to help him learn to walk again. I like watching Danny sleep against me now, I was so worried when he was in the coma and I couldn't comfort him. Even when he was awake in the hospital I was not really allowed to hug him like I wanted to. Like there have been times where Danny has had a bad memories and he has cried for comfort from them and the doctors around him wouldn't let us. It has had a deep effect on his mental health as he has been recovering.

He's had more nightmares and flashbacks which he has had no control or comfort from until he left the hospital last week. They wanted him to go to a rehab hospital, as that is what the usual thing for someone who has had a severe brain injury to do as their next step. It was better for Danny to just come straight back here, we could tell he had enough of being in a hospital now and he was not about to let himself get transferred to another one. He is almost well enough to go back to school as he has recovered from his injuries for the most part. They just want him walking unassisted first. Danny's stressed at the moment, his parents are on trial for what they have done for him this week and it's panicking him a bit.

I am sure the jury will reach a guilty verdict though, with all the evidence stacked against the parents it is hard not to come to that conclusion. Caleb is going on Danny's behalf and keeping the younger male updated. Later this week the jury will make their decision, they just need to hear both sides of the argument first. I think it is two days for each side because of how big the case actually is. Then the Friday is when the jury gets to go and make the decision to declare the parents not guilty or guilty. We could tell this was having a huge impact on Danny's mental health. Caleb told me that there was no way that they could postpone the trial anymore. We would have to get Danny through this as the little family we have made for ourselves.

"Today's gonna be tough for him isn't it?" George asks when he walks in, it is Tuesday morning and we don't have school this week. "It is, I wanna try help him not focus on the fact that it is day two of the trial today. Danny is walking for the first time today hopefully so I wanna focus more on that than the other stuff," I tell him, feeling like I can trust George to help me come up with a plan and not let Danny onto it because he would not want us to change our day for him. He is fiercely independent which is both a blessing and a curse for us. The curse part is that Danny does not like being taken care of after he thinks it is not necessary for it to continue any longer. He is getting to that point now if I am being honest.

I guess his parents have something to do with it because he has to look after himself more than a child should. "Yeah, we can make it a bit inconspicuous. I know Danny is nervous about having his staples out today and then he is having physio. I am sure we can convince Caleb to give us permission to take Danny to that frozen yogurt place to treat Danny. Caleb wouldn't disagree because it is a way to cheer Danny up. We know that Caleb is worried about the little dude because of what is going on," George explains, it was fair enough. Caleb is still around so we can ask him quietly without Danny hearing him. I kiss Danny on the top of his head and the little bear smiles at me in his sleep. I was worried that I woke him up, but we didn't.

Danny did wake up ten minutes later though. George had gone to talk to Caleb about our plans for after the appointments Danny has today. "Morning sweet bear," I tell him. He smiles at me and I kiss him on the cheeks. He keeps smiling and then kisses me on the lips. "Morning Dylan," he tells me, and I knew that he was a little too sleepy to come up with a nickname for me right at this moment. I am not really a guy who cares all that much about nicknames though. I give them to Danny so that he can experience some of the things he missed out on. I know he never really had loving nicknames while he was growing up until we showed up in his life. Now he has to learn how to be a teen like the rest of us.
