Truth or dare: A Zane Hijazi and Heath Hussar fanfiction

15: Not as planned

Hey. I know it's been a minute but I've been dealing with so much stuff. I was in the hospital a while ago. I wanted to focus on my health. Then other stuff like school and work got in the way.
With everything going on I've been reading a lot more and have more inspiration.
I can't promise I'm back but here is something new 😁

"Ready," I say
"Yeah, I'm ready to sleep in my bed. This shit gets uncomfortable fast" he says as he walks out of the bathroom
"Yeah after a week I'm ready to go home" I sit on the bed
"I told you to go home and that I'd be okay," he responds
"I did go home," I say, but already know what he is going to respond with.
"Yeah to get clothes and our charges and shit. Not to sleep and eat." he huffs.
"Yeah, but I didn't get kicked out so
that's okay," I say and finish packing.
"Yeah..." he says and puts the toothbrushes away.
"You good, still hurts?" I ask
"No, well yeah a little bit that's not what."
"Oh, I'll get the nurse to see if you can have meds before you leave. But what's the other thing." As I press the nurse button.
"Did you still want to go out to dinner?" He says quietly
"Of course. I called and got reservations at 7" I say as I look at my phone
"We don't have to go there. It is so expensive and the portions are so tiny," he says and sits down
"How do you know if you have never been?" I question
"I look at the place up when you got our clothes. he shy
"It is fine you deserve it after this," I say and walk to him as the nurse walks in.

A few hours later 😊

Ready. To go" I walk around the corner
"Almost I just have to change my bandage." I see in shirtless and focus on his scar

This shouldn't have happened

"Need help?" I ask and walk closer
"No" Hey says before he struggles to clean it
"Yeah" He admits
"Here," I say and help in clean it

I'm normally not into medical stuff or anything blood-related but I knew he would have a hard time doing it himself. When the nurses would change the bandage and clean the scar I would watch.

Heath was not a big fan of it. He dreaded doing it because it still hurt. He would flinch and look away.

I hope he feels better soon. He shouldn't be in pain like this, he doesn't deserve it.

I look up at him and he does the same with a weak smile.

He hates being helped.

I wrap a new bandage around and hold his hands for a while

I look up at him and smile. Things will be better soon

"Better?" I say a grab his shirt

He tries to put it on and flinches.

He is in so much pain. I didn't think that glass could do so much damage

"Yeah, thanks. Sorry, it still hurts," he says
"It's okay. Here." I start helping him put his arm in the sleeve
"I can dress myself." He protests
"Oh hush and put your arm in," I say
"Fine," he says

"Wanna hear a dumb joke?" I asked as I button his shirt
"Aren't all your jokes dumb?" he says with a smirk
"Rude!" I say with a laugh
"Why did the turkey cross the road?" I ask and fix his collar
"I don't know why?" He asks
"To prove he wasn't a chicken," I say and he laughs

It's nice to see him laugh, even if it was a stupid joke

"Ow, stop making me laugh. It still hurts." He says and grabs is storage
"You are the one who said it was gonna be stupid" I giggle out
"Okay, let's go. We don't want to be late." I say and take his hand, heading to the car. 

"Reservation for two under Zane," I say to the host

He looks at a sheet then leads us to a table. We both order water and look through the menu

"What do you think you'll have?" He asks
"I'm not sure, maybe stake and slice potatoes, you?" I ask and look at him
"Not to be all cute but I was going to get that too," He says and tries not to giggle

I smile at him, then the waiter comes up, we order those and talk

"How does this work? I mean like us, do we still... have sex and stuff? He starts then whispers
"Well we technical haven't had sex just other stuff, so no we don't have too," I say and take a sip of water
"Okay. He says.

We talk about some videos we have watched. How the others have been and so on.

The food is put in fount of us and we are shocked

"Where is the food?" Heaths ask
"Here I guess, wow?" I say
"It's not even the size of a phone." He says

I shrug and start to eat. It's not much but if I'm going to pay that much I might as well eat it.

"We could just hop out the window," he says in a joking way
"With the way you put on clothes, no way" I laugh

His face goes south and I realize I shouldn't have said that.

"I.. I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking" I apologize
"No, you're okay," I say and finishes his food

I'm a dick.

We finish up but we are still hungry.
We leave and go to the car.

"I am sorry it didn't go well," I say

This is not how I wanted his first day out of the hospital to go.

"I still appreciate it. But I'm still hungry." He says and looks out the window.
"There is a Chick-fil-A on the way home, want that?" I ask
"Sure" he smiles

We order what we normally would and I remember that there is a park a little way up the road.
I turn left

"What are you doing? Homes is to the right," he asks confused
"I know. There is a park down the street." I say and park.
"Let's eat," I say
