Mack- Surgery

Jack's POV

Mikey stumbled into my room at 7am and gently woke me up. I was mad that he was wakening me so early, then I remembered he was getting his knee operation done today. I woke up more, ready to help calm Mikey's nerves. I sat up straight and made a gesture to Mikey for him to sit beside me on my bed. I told him not to worry or stress. 'Will you come with me Jack? I don't think I can do it all by myself,' he asked shyly. 'Of course Mikey. I won't let you go on your own.

*10 hours later* 5 pm *

Mikey had just gotten out of surgery and he was lying asleep on the hospital bed while I was sitting on the, surprisingly comfy, chair right beside the bed. The doctor had said that the surgery went well and he would be awake very soon.

I sat beside Mikey until he woke up. It didn't take long for him to wake up after the doctor left. He slowly opened his eyes and sat up a little. He winced as he moved his leg. I was by his side in a flash to help him sit up. He looked at me, ready to know how the surgery went. I laughed because he was all loopy and very out of it. 'The surgery went well and you should be back home in no time.'

He smiled at me for ages, completely silent, just watching me. He was still loopy so when he started talking he didn't know what he was saying. 'Do you believe in love Jack?' He asked quietly. 'I used to believe love was just a transaction. We present the correct set of desirable traits and boom, we can turn it on and we can turn it off.' 'But now?' Jack asked. 'Now? Well when I met this one person, I finally understood what feeling love was.' I explained, careful not to tell him it was him who made me understand love.

'I felt like that too. Well not the first part, I always believed in love, but the second part. I felt that way when I met you Jack.' I was shocked at his words. He liked me too, this is amazing but he's loopy so he might not be telling the truth. I watched as he slowly fell asleep, not giving me a chance to reply.

*2 hours later*

I had fallen asleep in the chair I was sitting on and when I woke up Mikey was already awake, staring at his hands in his lap. I grabbed his hand and held it on the side of the bed. He looked up at me, a scared expression on his face. 'What's wrong Mike?' I asked gently. 'I remember what I said to you when I was all loopy,' he mumbled quietly. I got off my chair and sat beside Mikey and put my arm around him. 'It's okay Mike, I was actually talking about you when I was talking about feeling love.'

He slid down a little and put his head on my chest, he turned his head and kissed my chest. Then he fell back asleep again. He needed his sleep and energy.
