Tig and Happy

A/N: This is a little one shot that I came up with after having a dream of Happy and Tig.. Hope y'all like it.

I was walking through the dark woods aimlessly trying to find my way back to the road. My head hurt and I knew that my shoulder was out of its socket. Looking down at my legs, they were all scraped to shit and I could feel a couple of ribs were either bruised or cracked as it hurt to breathe.

After what seemed like hours I could hear some voices off in the distance. Feeling my heart speed up, I crept up slowly. I didn't want to chance running into the assholes who did this to me. Seeing two guys in leather cuts eased my mind, until I noticed the giant whole they were digging. Stepping back, I heard the snap of a twid under my foot and I cursed. I could barely walk, let alone run, so I tried my best to hide. Seeing the tall bald one's head snap in my direction and seeing him stalk towards me, my breath hitched in my throat. I was dead.

When his eyes landed on me, he didn't say a word, just picked me up off the ground carefully. I don't know what came over me, but tears began to fall. It wasn't out of fear, for some odd reason for the first time since waking up in these woods, I felt safe.

The other man with wild curly hair and crystal blue eyes came over to where the first man had set me down in some light. He took in my injuries and cursed under his breath, kneeling down so he could get a better look. "What happened to you, sweetheart?" he asked, moving a piece of hair out of my face.

I couldn't speak, my eyes going from him to the giant whole in the ground. The bald one noticed where I was looking and gained my attention. "We aren't going to hurt you."

Looking into his dark eyes, my heart began to slow and I couldn't help but believe his words. I steadied my breathing and swallowed hard. My mouth dry I tried to explain. "Two guys grabbed me." was all I could get out.

He nodded and went for his pocket, pulling out a cell. He got up and walked off a few feet to make his call while the other man tried his best to comfort me. "You're safe now." he said as he took off his cut and his hoodie. Placing the hoodie over me to warm me up, he put the cut back on and sat close to me. "What's your name?"

"P-Paige." I managed to say.

He gave me a small smile and nodded. "Well Page. We're gonna get you outta here and to a doc. See if we can't patch you up."

The kind look in his eyes made me smile a little and I nodded, leaning into him. The warmth from the hoodie and his body had the exhaustion coming on faster. My eyelids began to droop and I started to fade.

Waking up, I was surrounded by white clean walls and the beep of a heart monitor. I groaned as I tried to move. Seeing the tall man from the woods asleep in the chair by my bed made me smile. "W-where am I?" I croaked out.

The man jumped at the sound of my voice and he made his was to my side. "You're at St. Thomas." he explained. "Been out for two days."

I sighed and looked around the room. I went to reach for the cup of water on the roll away table beside the bed and winced in pain. The man grabbed the cup for me and handed it to me. I drank it down quickly, feeling parched. He took the cup when I finished and sat on the edge of the bed, facing me. "When can I leave?" I asked.

He gave me a smirk and shook his head. "I'll ask the doc when I get some information from ya." he said. The rasp in his voice makes me hang on every word he said. "What do you remember?"

I sighed and leaned my head back, closing my eyes trying to remember. "I was walking home from work. It was late. A van pulled up next to me, asking if I knew where to find a gas station. I didn't think anything of it. Then next thing I know, I woke up in the woods."
