High School Casualties (Boyxboy)

Chapter 6

Ch 6

Around midnight a new nurse entered the room.

"Hi! I'm Trish, I'll be Eren's nurse for tonight."

Levi nodded to her.

"Can I bring you something to eat or drink sir?" She asked politely.

Levi thought for a second.

"Maybe a cup of black tea. Unsweetened though." He said quietly.

She smiled at him and went to get his tea. Levi hugged Eren closer to him and caressed his hair. The nurse walked back in and set Levi's tea next to him. She then took one of Eren's arms and took his blood pressure. After that she laid his hand back onto Levi and took the rest of his vitals.

"Are you his caretaker?" The nurse asked.

Levi nodded. The nurse smiled at him and left the room. Levi picked up his tea and took a sip. He reached over to put the cup back but Eren shifted and he dropped the cup. Piping hot tea spilled all over Levi and the floor. He bit back a yelp and carefully removed himself from the hospital bed. He walked out the door and down the hallway to the nurses station.

"Could I get some rags? My tea went everywhere.." A nurse looked at his still steaming clothes and grabbed some rags.

"Before you go clean that up, let me take a look and make sure you weren't burned to badly."

Levi nodded and lifted up his shirt. The skin where the tea hit was bright red and shiny. It was also starting to blister. The nurse reached out her hand and touched it. Levi winced and jumped. The nurse clicked her tongue and grabbed some burn cream and gauze.

"I'm going to wrap this. You need to change out of those clothes as soon as possible so you don't damage your skin any more. Do you need me to get you something?"

Levi shook his head.

"I was planning on going home and getting somethings after I cleaned." He said and turned to walk away.

"How about I clean it for you?" The nurse said.

"That's alright. I'm a bit of a clean freak so I can take care of it." Levi said and continued walking.

The nurse didn't respond and went back to work. Levi quietly entered the room and started wiping the tea up. He opened the closet door and grabbed some disinfecting wipes and wiped the floor. He then put everything away and headed home. When he passed the nurses station, Trish handed him some gauze and cream.

"The other nurse told me what happened. Take these with you and put them on when you change, okay?"

Levi nodded and headed out the door. He walked to his car and got in. He turned on the radio and sat in his car for a little bit.

[insert your favorite sad song lyrics]

Levi's hands pounded on his steering wheel. He pulled out of the parking lot and rushed home. He unlocked the door and flicked on the light. The white walls made for a bright flash instead of a dull brightening. Levi closed his eyes for a couple seconds and then opened them a little bit and let them slowly adjust. He ran up the stairs and into his room. He pulled open the drawers to his dresser and grabbed out an outfit. He pulled off his shirt and pants and looked in the mirror.

'Damn. I left the stuff in my car.'

Levi ran back downstairs and out the door. He threw open the door to his car and grabbed the medical supplies. He ran back inside and up the stairs into the lit up bathroom. He sat on the counter top and started to wrap himself up. Once he was done he grabbed the clothes he had laid out and put them on. He then grabbed his laptop and phone charger and headed out the door and to the hospital once more. He pulled into a parking space close to the hospital doors and turned the engine off. He sat still for a little bit and chewed on his lip.

'I hope he doesn't hate me.'

Levi pulled the handle and paused. He finally pushed it open and stood up. He gave a little stretch and walked to the other side of the car to grab his items then locked the doors. Levi looked around the parking lot before he started towards the hospital doors.

'There aren't really many cars around..' The ravenette thought as he walked through the doors.

The short man walked past the receptionists desk and stood waiting by the elevator. Pretty soon it came down and he entered the metal container. Levi pulled out a handkerchief and hit the floor Eren was on. His eyes trailed up to the digital numbers above the elevator door and counted along. Once the elevator came to Levi's floor it made a little ding and the doors slid open. The current nurse at the station gave him a friendly smile and went back to work. Levi tried to sneak the rest of the way past the station but Trish ran over.

"You're back! Can I check your burns now?" She asked quietly.

Levi sighed.

"I guess.." He mumbled and lifted up his shirt to expose the bandaged burns.

Trish nodded her approval at the bandage job and sent him on his way. A couple doors down, Levi quietly opened the door and snuck in. Eren was sound asleep and on his side. Levi pulled a chair up to the bed and took Eren's little rolling table. He set his laptop on it and plugged his phone in.

'Well, a little time on tumblr wouldn't hurt...' Levi thought as he pulled up his browser. He typed in the address for tumblr and spent plenty of time blogging.

Hours later Eren came around. He opened his eyes a little bit and saw Levi asleep in a chair. The soft glow from the laptop illuminated Levi's face and Eren couldn't take his eyes away.

'He's... He's so perfect...'

There was a tap on the door and then a nurse came in. She looked at Levi and then at Eren.

"Hi there. I'm nurse Trish and I'm going to be taking care of you for a couple more hours," she whispered.

Eren smiled and nodded. Trish walked over and started taking his vitals.

"You know, you have a pretty great guy right there. I suggest you don't let him go. You are both going to need each other," she said, giving Eren a little smile.

Eren's face turned red.

"H-How do you know?" He asked.

Trish looked at him and smiled.

"I just have a feeling."
