When a Healer Loves a Killer

Chapter 34

     "...(y/n)? It's Angela. Do you want to move to your room now?"

     I squinted my eyes at the sudden light and nodded, not fully processing everything. I weakly sat up and winced at the sudden pain shooting through my body. I swung my legs over the cot and ignored Angela's attempts to get me to lay back down.

How else am I supposed to get up the stairs, a wheelchair?

I tried standing up on my good leg, but immediately felt a stinging sensation from both of the legs, feeling my knees give out underneath me. Before I could hit the ground, however, I was swooped up and being carried bridal style by someone who smelled like sweets and testosterone.

Juuzou!

     "You're an idiot, you know that, (y/n)-chan?" Juuzou said flatly.

Juuzou~

     I didn't bother talking, instead pushing my head into Juuzou's chest and humming in content. I could hear his steady heartbeat as he carried me up the stairs and into my room, gently setting me on the bed. I heard him speaking to someone, probably Angela, before closing the door and coming back to me. "You're a mess." Juuzou muttered, unbuttoning my shirt and working it off of me, making sure to be careful of my wounds.

      I didn't have a bra on, but bandages covered my chest and torso because of my broken ribs, so I was fine. Juuzou climbed into the bed next to me and hesitantly wrapped his arm around my waist.

Wait, aren't we angry at him? Say something mean! Don't be a pushover like you were with Aaron!

    "You're a little bitch Suzuya." I weakly spat out.

    "...Excuse me?" Juuzou said playfully, lifting his head to look at me.

    I tiredly opened my eyes and glared at him. "You let that girl stay when I left. You made me almost regret sleeping with you."

     His face drooped a bit and he pushed some hair out of my face. "I yelled at her and made her leave around fifteen minutes after you left, if that makes you feel better. It's messy with her and I, but I don't like her. To be honest, I don't even like her as a friend."

Well, that settles that I suppose.

      I closed my eyes again and groaned at the soreness of my body. "Juuzou-kun."

     "Yeah?"

     "..Kiss me?"

     Juuzou giggled and planted his lips on mine softly, cupping my cheek with his hand. I brought my uninjured arm up to his hair and lazily gripped onto it.

God I'm tired.

     Juuzou separated from me and laid down on the mattress next to my injured body. I felt myself being pulled asleep once again.

~Time skip brought to you by Natsu and his lil dragon scarf~

The first thing I felt when I woke up was pain. I must admit that having a broken arm and two broken ribs along with four stitches in your skull and a disheveled leg are not the most pleasant feelings on planet earth. I opened my eyes and I saw my cat sitting on my stomach. "Where the hell have you been?" I said lowly, my voice hoarse.

He meowed and itched himself before gracefully hopping off of my stomach and curling up next to Juuzou. I smiled at the sleepy boy, who was now petting the cat and yawning. I reached my good arm over to him and pushed his hair out of his face. "I missed you." I said, to which he smiled and moved closer to me.

     "I missed you too." He said before giving my cheek an abundance of kisses and cuddling into me.

     It felt weird to be so happy and content with someone like this, but I never wanted the feeling to stop. I ran my fingers through Juuzou's hair which made him hum and I silently cursed myself for being so injured and unable to kiss the boy.

- knock knock -

     "Come in~" Juuzou chimed, not moving from his position cuddled into me.

     Angela opened the door and walked in carrying two bags with food in them. Her eyes widened a bit and she blushed when she saw us, but to my surprise she didn't say anything. "H-here are your lunches. Everyone else ate earlier, but last time I checked on you guys you were both asleep." She said with a shy smile.

     Juuzou sat up and grabbed the bags, thanking Angela and helping me sit up, which put me in the perfect position to kiss his cheek. Juuzou giggled and I smiled, completely forgetting there was another person in the room. "You guys are very cute together." Angela said, walking over to the bed and propping the pillows behind me.

     "I got lucky, didn't I! (Y/n) is so cute~" Juuzou chirped, scooting closer to me and giving me a bag.

     I scoffed. "Oh please, I look like a mummy who was ran over."

      Angela giggled and bowed before leaving us alone. I reached inside the bag to find the usual sandwich and rice duo that I had grown to hate.

If I'm being honest all that bloodshed kind of ruined my appetite anyways.

     I set the bag down and looked towards the ceiling, letting my eyes shut. "Aren't you going to eat?" Juuzou asked.

     I sighed and opened my eyes, gazing towards him. I shrugged. "I'm not very hungry."

    He furrowed his eyebrows and took some of the rice in his chopsticks, bringing them up to my mouth. I giggled and opened my mouth and Juuzou set the rice on my tongue. When I swallowed it, I looked back to him. "Happy now?" I said.

      "Nope!" Juuzou exclaimed, bringing more rice up to my mouth and continuing to feed me.

      When I had eaten enough for Juuzou's liking he began to eat his sandwich. I drank my water and pet my cat, who had relocated onto my lap and was meowing in content. Juuzou leaned over and kissed me sweetly, making me smile at the sudden contact. When he tried to pull away I gripped onto his hair and pulled him towards me, kissing him deeper. He let out a hum of surprise, but moved his body closer to mine and locked our lips. I weakly bit his bottom lip and he giggled before breaking away, making me whine. "(Y/n)-chan, even your bites are weak. You need to rest."

      I glared at him. "You're no fun at all Juuzou."

Damn these stupid wounds.

     I flopped back into the pillows and gave him puppy dog eyes, making him roll his eyes and lay down next to me. "I loooove you~" he said, dragging out the words and nuzzling into my neck.

    "Whatever Suzuya."

Authors note: gotta be honest I'm not living for injured (y/n) so I might fuck around and give her some special healing shit so that she can go back to normal lmao.
