They were fine. They felt fine, much to the doubt and surprise of the doctors. Sebastian and Käärme, both, were taken for several scans and test for internal damages. After several hours, Sebastian and Käärme were exausted and being wheeled to their rooms. Rooms. Plural. Sebastian maded sure they changed that.

He was now laying on the hospital bed on his side facing Käärme, lazily braiding her hair, falling asleep from the dose of morphine that Käärme had convinced a really sweet nurse to give him. She was sitting in the uncomfortable recliner next to his bed, using the huge clunky remote to scan through the few channels that the hospital had.

Shouting from the hall outside drew both of their attention to the door. Käärme muted the shopping channel lady and they both listened. There was a man and what sounded like a women arguing back and forth. Their voices got louder as they approached the door.

"Get out of my way" The man was angry and Sebastian sneered and whispered a curse under his breath, now wide awake.

"Sir, you can't go in there visiting hours are over. If you don't leave I will call security and have them remove you." There was a moment of pause before the man spoke again, but this time his voice dropped an octave and had a touch more gravel.

"Now come on," He stopped for a moment "Sarah. You don't really want to do that, do you?" Käärme could almost hear the middle aged women blush through the door. She giggled.

"I'm sorry sir," She did sound truly sorry, like she didn't want to disappoint him "but I can't let you in there. Not only will you wake your brother but the girl-"

"He didn't even get his own room!?" his flirty composure was gone. Käärme tuned to an annoyed looking Sebastian.

"Your brother?" Before he answered her, Sebastian yelled out to the two now bickering again out in the hall.

"Attaicus! Knock it off! Just come in! we're both awake anyway." Sebastian is handsome, gorgeous even, but the man who came rushing in to the hospital room, tailed by a small angry looking nurse in Winnie the pooh scrubs could have passed for a god.

In the red hue of the hospital floor lights he looked like a fallen angel; dark hair, dark clothes, and furious bruiting eyes not even giving her a sideways glance. His eyes were on Sebastian who was still clearly annoyed. "Dude it's seriously creepy when you charm people like that."

"What was supposed to do?"

"Leave?" Käärmes eyes were bouncing back and forth from the two men, as she saw the anger rise in Atticus, she watched slight humor roll though Sebastian.

"Excuse me sir?" the nurse behind Atticus spoke up surprising Käärme, she had totally forgotten that she was even there. "Do I need to call security?"

"No it's fine. He's my brother." the nurse looked from Atticus to Sebastian.

"Adopted I'm guessing?" Atticus turned to her.

"You have some bed pans to clean out I'm guessing?" with that the nurse let out a huff of disapproval and walked towards the door

"Five minutes" and slammed it behind her. Sebastian slide his eyes lazily from the door to Atticus.

"Do you need to be such a dick?" Atticus rolled his eyes then scanned them quickly over Sebastian, looking for any signs of injury. When his eyes landed on Sebastian's hand still resting on the back of the hospital chair Käärme was perched on. His gaze flashed to her face, as if seeing her for the first time since he came in the room, then he raked his eyes over her in a very different way he looked over Sebastian. He looked back to his brother
