This is My World, Baby Boy

Chapter 8

Nearly an hour had gone by. The tea Toni had made was turning cold. She had put some more water to boil in hopes the poor guy would wake up soon to drink warm tea. While the two waited they talked, from nothing to everything.

Just trying to pass the time. Soon enough, Jughead walked out of his bedroom. He took off his gloves as if he had just performed surgery. "I cleaned and bandaged all the claw marks and managed to pull the glass out of his shoulder. He's going to be okay in a few weeks but I'm not sure when he's going to wake up."

"Jug, We should get him to a hospital. His shoulder could get infected or worse you could have missed a piece of glass." Toni said as she took the whistling kettle off the stove.

"He'd kill me if I brought him to a hospital," Jughead replied simply. He took off his Serpent jacket and placed it down on a chair.

To be completely honest Sweet Pea only saw Fangs as some cute Northsider wannabe. He didn't really know him but he might as well get to  know him a little if he was ever gonna get the guy to sleep with him. 

"And why's that?"

 Jughead let out a sigh "It's not my place to be telling anyone but-," He cut himself off, running a hand threw his hair.

The two other Serpents quite curious just stared at him waiting for him to break the silence.

"Fine, you can't tell him I told you okay?"

The two younger serpents just nodded wanting to know more about the unconscious male in the other room.

"Fangs' mom was always in and out of hospitals when he was little" He grabbed a cup and started pouring himself some tea. 

"She went to a lot of shady places and since Fangs was so young it's left this traumatic imprint on him." 

The pair was silent. "I get that, but what if he gets seriously hurt?" Toni asked curiously breaking the silence.

Jughead scratched the back of his neck before taking a sip of the tea. "He has a deal set up with Dr. Curdel Jr. Fangs pays him so that he can come to Fangs' house instead of Fangs having to go to a real hospital."

"Damn, he's really trying to avoid the hospital that bad?" Sweet pea felt bad for him. What kind of hospitals had he been to that he never wants to go back to one? He shook his head trying to not to get attached to this wannabe that he didn't even know that well, just bits of his 'tragic' backstory.

"Yeah, Everyone has their own reasons for the things they do. Anyway, he'll be fine it's just a matter of when he'll wake up." Finishing up his cup of tea Jughead remembered that his bike was still at Fangs' house and that Fangs had no clothes to change into.

"Toni, I have to get my bike and some clothes that aren't blood-soaked for Fangs. Let's go take a ride." Toni nodded grabbing her keys heading straight for the door. 

"Pea stay here to watch Fangs and ya know to be there for him if he wakes up." Sweet pea nodded and Jughead went to get his duffel bag before heading out the door. 

Sweet pea poured himself some coffee instead of tea and went into Jugheads room to check up on Fangs. The younger male was asleep and shirtless. His shoulder was bandaged but blood was still bleeding threw.

Sweet pea ran a hand threw his hair. Sighing he sat down at the edge of the bed. He pulled out his phone scrolling through social media to pass the time. His coffee forgotten on the nightstand.

15 minutes passed without issue.

A few more minutes passed and the bed moved slightly. Sweet Pea turned around to see Fangs shifting uncomfortably.

He didn't know what to do, Should he just stand there and wait for Fangs to wake or try to wake him up faster. He scratched the back of his neck awkwardly and just stood there watching the other male shift uncomfortably in his sleep. What has he supposed to do? Stare at him till he woke up? 

They barely knew each other what if Fangs freaked out when he saw Sweet Pea? 

Sweet pea let out a sigh and decided on just pretending like he was scrolling through his phone the whole time. 

10 more minutes passed by but to Sweet pea, it felt like an eternity, 

The shuffling of the bedsheets and the quiet groans of pain made him really uncomfortable. 

After a while Fangs eventually woke up. His vision was blurry, His shoulder stung like a mother fucker and his head was pounding. He tried to blink away the blurriness in his eyes but to no avail.

Fangs tried sitting up quickly but the fast movement made him wince out in pain and fall back on the bed.

"Don't move you're just gonna end up hurting yourself more."
