Doctor & Patient {Bellala99 and Koe-chan}

[BlaqueCatt]

The auburn-haired man squeezed Lucas' hand tightly. "No, Lucas. Eyes open." His tone, though similar to the one he had used when they had first met, was full of much more emotion this time; this time, it was very, very personal. He wouldn't let the blonde man who showed care for him die. He wasn't aware of the paramedics arriving until he was pulled out of the way and Lucas was lifted onto a stretcher.

A faint smile stayed on Lucas' face even when he was carried onto the stretcher. His hand which was previously holding Bo's was now neatly placed on his chest as he slowly began drifting off somewhere, where he wouldn't feel the pain. There was nothing. Just darkness, where he couldn't feel anything... Even though he could swear that somewhere deep he still felt Bo's light, gentle touch on his skin... He could even die like this. He was happy.

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo was denied access to the ambulance despite his occupation--they said it was too personal for him to work well--and he was instead driven to the police station with Agent Kelly. He stared out the window while they drove; his mind was still with Lucas, even while his body was quite far away. Once at the station he was questioned; he told them everything he knew. He was then told that he wouldn't be allowed to go to the hospital until after the surgery.

 

{Do you want to skip?}

Lucas' surgery started soon after he was brought into the hospital. Thankfully, it went well and he actually managed to pull through... Though it didn't really seem he was anywhere close to waking up. A certain woman was very angry about that fact. Yes, it was indeed agent Kelly. She was dying to get out all Lucas knew about the gang and then, hopefully, get everyone in prison. Obviously, inluding Lucas himself.

 

((I was thinking the same thing ^^" Guess you could write now about how Bo comes to Lucas, or something else if you have any ideas~))

[BlaqueCatt]

It was two days after the questioning at the station when Bo was escorted to the hospital to see Lucas. It was a different hospital than the one he worked at, and the commute was longer, as he had been stationed in a safe-house until the rest of the gang was caught; the police suspected that they may go after him again now that Nicholas was in custody. He was silent the whole way, body tense with apprehension. All he had been able to do was hope for the past two days, and he was anxious to see Lucas' condition. When they arrived, he was let inside and instantly brought to Lucas' room.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas had just woken up when Bo arrived to see him. He was gazing through the window - just like when he was in the hospital before, this was nearly his only way of spending time. When the door opened, he turned around in slight confusion... Though that expression quickly turned into a soft, warm, love-filled one. "Hey." He greeted with a light chuckle as he looked at Bo with a soft smile. "Are you okay?" He asked, without even realizing how dumb it sounded when coming from him - laying in the bed, with bandages over his chest.

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo stared at Lucas blankly for a moment before quickly walking over to the side of the bed. He would have hugged the blonde if he hadn't known how much that hurt when injured. Instead he gave Lucas a small smile and took his right hand in both of his own; he was trembling slightly, and his teary blue eyes held worry and fear. "I'm fine," he whispered, choking on his words. He was still amazed that he could fall in love with someone so quickly. "But I was so scared for you." he suddenly let go of Lucas' hands and used his sleeve to wipe at his eyes before the tears fell. "I read your file," he continued, "You suffered, obviously, from a point-blank gunshot would. Luckily the bullet missed any vital organs, but the it was stuck between muscle. The surgery went well, but it will be hard to move your arm for some time." he rattled this off from memory, speaking in a rushed, nervous way; being a nurse calmed him.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas blinked a few times before a soft chuckle left his mouth. He reached out and lightly cupped the nurse's cheek before lightly pecking his lips. "If you actually expect me to understand everything you just said, you're a bit wrong... Just calm down, okay?" He asked with a warm smile as he gently brushed over Bo's cheek with his thumb. "See, I'm alive, so everything's fine... We're both fine." He muttered out quietly as he gently took the other's hand into his own and smiled. "Will you keep me company?" The blond asked softly as he lightly squeezed it in his own hand.

[BlaqueCatt]

The younger man nodded immediately in response, not even pausing for a moment to consider the question. He took a seat in the chair next to the bed and held onto Lucas' hand as if that touch would keep them together. He swallowed and took a deep breath through his nose in an attempt to calm himself before speaking. "I'm sorry, Lucas. I let myself get taken, and then that man hurt you."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas' eyes momentarily flashed with sadness and anger mixed up together before a soft sigh escaped his mouth. "You're not the one who should be sorry..." He muttered out softly as he lightly squeezed the other's hand. "I should've kept you safe..." The blond said quietly as he opened his eyes, now filled with pure sadness. "I'm sorry." He muttered out quietly as he looked away from Bo. He couldn't bring himself to look at him...

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo felt his heart clench, and he gently put his hand on Lucas' cheek, turning his head so that they were facing each other again. The nurse's left arm, where the knife had pierced his shoulder, was bandaged and in a sling. There was a smaller bandage over the cut on his cheek. "Don't be," he murmured, "You couldn't have stopped him."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas nearly flinched when his head was turned so he was facing Bo again. He lightly bit down on his lip as he looked at the nurse with slight sadness. The older male nodded lightly at the words, though inside he knew they were far from being true. He could've stopped him... If he didn't lie back then, none of this would've happened. His brown eyes softened the slightest bit as he leaned closer and gently pressed his lips against Bo's. It was like a way of saying that there wasn't any more need for this conversation.

[BlaqueCatt]

The younger man understood immediately, and he lightly kissed Lucas in return before pulling away. He gave the blonde a small smile, trying to hide his own sadness behind an attempt to comfort his boyfriend. Boyfriend. He was still so unused to that word being part of his vocabulary. They sat there in silence for several minutes before Bo asked quietly, "How are you feeling?"

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas let out a soft breath when the kiss ended. It was too short for his liking... Yet he didn't do anything else. He sat there quietly, waiting for Bo to break the silence if he even wanted that. The older let out a faint smile at the question and shook his head. “I'll be fine...“ He muttered out softly in response as he gripped Bo's hand and closed his eyes. “..If I have to go to prison for what I did, would you wait for me?“

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo's eyes widened at the question. He had completely forgotten that the police would see Lucas as a gang member and not a victim. He shook his head and squeezed Lucas' hand back, even more tightly. "You won't have to go to prison," he said firmly, and there was a new fiery determination in his eyes. "That boring job my mother has? She's a lawyer."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas blinked a few times as he smiled softly and shook his head lightly. "Do you really think that alone will be enough?" He asked softly as he looked down while gripping the sheets slightly with his other hand. "...Still, could you please... Answer...?" The blond asked quietly, keeping his gaze down at the white bed sheets. He needed to know... He needed to know that if he had to go he would still have something to look forward to.

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo's gaze softened, and his grip loosened. He removed his hand from Lucas' and placed it on the knuckles that were white from gripping the bedsheets. "Of course I'd wait," he said softly. He doubted that he would meet anyone else with how solitary he was, and even if he did, he was sure that they wouldn't be at all like Lucas. "But my mother is very good at what she does. She can make a deal with the police."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas' grip on the bed sheets slowly loosened as he let out a soft breath and looked at Bo with a soft smile. "Thanks..." He murmured out as he nodded lightly at what the other said next. He still didn't really believe it - somewhere deep inside he thought he deserved it anyway. He let out a slightly shaky sigh as he leaned back against the pillows and bit down on his lower lip. "Did they say anything to you? If someone would question me again or just put me straight to court or prison?"

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo frowned slightly. "They didn't tell me anything," he said, sounding both frustrated and worried. "They put me in witness protection, though." He moved the chair a bit closer to the bed so that he could hold both of Lucas' hands with his one available hand. "I hate having strangers around me all the time." He was used to always being alone, or with only one or two other people.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas let out a soft chuckle while lightly shaking his head. "You know it's just for the best... The gang is still free, someone could try and find you..." He murmured softly as he opened his eyes to look at Bo. "I don't want anything bad happening to you again." The blond said softly as he looked down at their hands. "I want to be there to protect you..." He said quietly, his voice shaking slightly.

[BlaqueCatt]

His blue eyes lit with hope. "Maybe...maybe they'd let you stay with me?" He doubted that they would agree, but he wanted to be with Lucas. Both of them were injured, and both of them were struggling with their emotions. They would need each others' support. Not to mention that Bo didn't want the gang coming after Lucas either.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas let out a faint chuckle while shaking his head. “I really doubt that, sweetie...“ He murmured out, though the nickname seemed to have slipped out by itself. The blond had a habit of using various nicknames like sweetie, dear, baby, honey or hun when he was talking with people he loved. “I'd love that as well, but... I don't think they'll even trust me to do that.“

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo subconsciously blushed at the pet name, his pale cheeks flushing. He looked down in embarrassment and disappointed acceptance. "Th-that's true..." But it's not fair. He didn't say this aloud, not wanting to sound like a whiny child. This situation was much too serious for that. "Um..." he stuttered, trying to form the right words. "Do you think I could...maybe...um..." His blush intensified as he gestured meekly towards the bed.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas couldn't hold in a soft chuckle when the other blushed. It was cute... However, the blond was confused at first as of what did Bo want. When he finally understood, or at least thought that he did, he smiled warmly and moved slightly to make him some space while extending one arm as an invitation. “Go ahead.“ He said calmly as he smiled softly while waiting for Bo to get on. He was always up for some cuddling...

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo bit his lip to hold in a nervous giggle and carefully climbed onto the bed, making sure not to jostle anything. He winced when he bumped his arm, but he managed to lay down comfortably next to the blonde, his head on the others' shoulder. He had never been this willing for contact before, even as a child. Lucas really was a special person. "Thanks," he whispered.
