Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Lucas shook his head, a soft smile on his face. "It's okay, Bo... It's not that bad." He tried to assure his boyfriend he wasn't at fault. The blond bit down on his lip as his gown was lifted. His eyes held an apologetic gaze in them while he stayed silent and just took Bo's good hand with his own. His lower lip quivered the slightest bit at what he heard, but he smiled and nodded nevertheless. "Okay." He muttered out softly and let go, looking at Bo with somewhat sad eyes. He really didn't want to stay alone, but.. He couldn't force Bo to stay with him forever either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 "I'm sorry," he said, his voice a whisper full of guilt. He quickly gathered up the papers and stood; when he was at the door, he glanced back at Lucas briefly--his blue eyes were regretful--before opening the door and stepping into the hallway. As soon as he was out of the blonde's sight, he started walking at an incredibly fast speed towards the nurse's station, a walk that soon became a run. He needed to get the medication and return to Lucas as soon as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Lucas kept the smile on his face, shaking his head at the apology. Bo wasn't at fault... The man only let his weird fear take over when his boyfriend wasn't here anymore. He had no idea why he even felt this scared - it was illogical. It was a hospital, and they weren't going to be attacked... That was what he was supposed to believe, at least. He couldn't. The blond ended up with his knees drawn to his chest, just waiting silently in the bed. He wouldn't know what to do if he ever lost Bo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 For the first time in his life, Bo's gentle nature left him and he was ready to snap at the other nurse in front of him; she was taking too long to get the medication. He needed to get back to Lucas. He was worried about the blonde's emotional state; he could understand not liking being alone, but his reaction so far seemed different. As soon as the medication was handed to him and he was given access to more, he quickly rushed back the way he had come and nearly threw open the door to the room.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Lucas felt worse and worse with each second that passed. Bo still wasn't back... Something happened! The blond man's body began shaking slightly as he took in quivering breaths. Just then, the door slammed open, making him jump in bed slightly. For a split second, he felt completely terrified, but then he saw that it was Bo. A relieved smile took over his face as he slowly moved his legs back down, relaxing a little bit. He seemed to be okay... So nothing happened after all. "Is everything okay?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 11, 2014 Author Share Posted September 11, 2014 Bo was stunned by the display Lucas had just given, and for a few moments he said nothing, simply staring at the blonde from the doorway. True fear had passed through those brown eyes until recognition pushed it away. Something must be really wrong... He blinked suddenly, realizing that he wasn't moving, and returned the smile, though the worry was clear in his own blue eyes. "Everything's fine. I'm just going to clean the wound and give you the antibiotics." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 12, 2014 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Lucas felt slightly uncomfortable with the way Bo was staring at him. He looked weird when scared, right? And it was all for nothing, there was nothing to worry about - he just had to convince himself about this at some point. The blond pushed his bad feelings down and nodded slightly at his boyfriend, quietly lifting up his gown to reveal the wound. "Alright." He muttered out softly and smiled, the smile a bit nervous.

BlaqueCatt Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 To help him deal with his anxiety, Bo went right into work-mode and nodded, placing a small paper back on the table next to the bed before moving to the small bathroom attached to the room. There was a major deja vu moment as he rolled up his black sweatshirt sleeves and thoroughly scrubbed his hands in the sink. Once they were dry, he put on plastic gloves and a little package from the cabinet. He worked silently, completely engrossed in his task, and was soon kneeling on the bed next to Lucas as he had when they first met. "First I have to clean it," he said softly, and ripped open the little packet. He took out a disinfecting wipe and gently swiped the white cloth around the swelling wound and stitches. Then, he opened the small paper bag and took out a jar of cream. He smeared the cream onto the wound, then proceeded to bandage the area with the bandages also in the bag. When that was done, he took a needle from the bag and a small bottle of clear liquid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Lucas watched his boyfriend quietly, finding himself relaxing slowly in the changed atmosphere. Bo working was quite a calming view, for some reason. He was so focused, the blond almost enjoyed the view, actually. He smiled softly and nodded at the words he heard, not saying anything himself. It wasn't neccessary. Only when the cream was applied, he let out a quiet chuckle. "This is exactly like the first time you took care of me." He commented, but gulped down a bit nervously at the sight of the needle. He faced the other direction, an expression of nervousness appearing. He wasn't too good with needles...

BlaqueCatt Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Bo hummed his agreement, but was unable to speak as he carefully put the needle into the small bottle, pulling back on the silver end with his thumb to draw out the liquid. Because he was facing away, he didn't see Lucas' nervous reaction to the needle. Once the needle had the correct amount of medication, the young nurse held out his free hand and took Lucas' arm. "Hold still," he said softly, turning over the blonde's arm so the underside was exposed. He used another wipe to clean the area, then gently ran his thumb over the spot between Lucas' upper and lower arm, searching for the vein. When it was found, he slid the needle into the skin and squeezed the liquid out of the needle and into the blonde's blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Lucas let out a soft grunt in response to the order. His body had tensed up the slightest bit when he felt Bo taking his hand, though he tried to at least relax his arm. Well, the good thing was that Bo didn't see his embarrassed face. When the needle slid in, he took in a sharp breath, fighting back the urge to move. The blond let out a sigh as he lowered his head,only looking at his boyfriend when the shot was done. He seemed a bit nervous and embarrassed - and so did his smile. "Thanks, Bo." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Bo lifted his head and gave Lucas a small smile, gently removing the needle from the blonde's skin. "You're welcome," he said, standing up from the bed. He threw the needle and bottle into a white bin labeled 'Hazardous Waste' in the back of the room. Then he took off his gloves and tossed them into the trash. "You'll need a shot every other day until the swelling goes down," he told Lucas as he put the brown bag into the cabinet and washed his hands.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Lucas nodded quietly at what he heard and sighed, snuggling back underneath the covers. "Do you have any ideas for how long will I be here?" He questioned with a frown. The blond wanted to go home already. "And how much time will you be spending here?" He added, hopefullness in his eyes. It was unfair for him to expect for Bo to stay here all the time, but... He was both scared and a bit bored when the other wasn't around. Maybe they could work this out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 There were a few moments of silence as Bo considered the questions and ran the water over his hands. It was after he had shut off the tap and was drying his hands on a papertowel when he replied. "Based on the amount of inflammation, I'd say four or five days--that's if you stay put in bed, though," he said with a pointed look at the blonde. "If you decide to keep moving, it may not heal or get worse. Then you'd be here for at least a few weeks." He returned to the bed and sat down. "I'll have to go home at least a few times, and I still have classes. But I'll be with you every night." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Lucas felt a little bit anxcious at how long the other took to answer him. The blond sighed both in relief and in slight disappointment when Bo did reply. "I'll stay in bed this time..." He muttered softly, lowering his head a bit in shame. The man reached for his boyfriend's hand, gently entwining their hands together. "When do your classes start? And can you work there with your arm like this?" He questioned a bit worriedly.

BlaqueCatt Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 Bo smiled when Lucas showed concern for him, and he held the blonde's hand firmly, but not tightly. "I can write with both hands, so I'll have no problem getting my work done. My injury isn't as severe as your anyway." He scooted a bit closer to the older man. "I think I'll go back to class starting next week." He was glad to hear that Lucas was going to stay in bed this time. "Don't worry, Lucas," he said gently, his expression soft, "Everything will be fine." He leaned in and gave the other a small kiss on the cheek.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 Lucas watched the other like a dog - sad eyes, yet a hopeful expression. He nodded slightly and managed a smile, closing his eyes for a moment when he received the kiss to his cheek. "If you say so..." He muttered out and lightly pecked his lips. "I hope you make time for our dates in your day." He joked with a laugh while bringing the other's hand to his lips like he'd done a few times before. "Just, please, be safe." He muttered softly and let out a soft smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 "I finish classes at noon time, so there will be no problems when it comes to dates." His expression softened even more--if that was even possible--when Lucas told him to stay safe. "Oh, Lucas." He turned so that he could lay on his uninjured arm and pressed close to the blonde, making sure that his stitches weren't touched. "Is that why you've been so upset?" It made sense--what had happened was traumatic--and Bo found himself caring even more for the other man. "I'll be fine, Lucas. And so will you."

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Lucas frowned slightly and lightly tilted his head. "But your work..." He trailed off, remembering how the other got out at ten, if he recalled correctly. The blond couldn't help but smile at what Bo then continued talking about. The softness coming from his boyfriend was awfully soothing - he adored that feeling. "It makes me happy to hear you say that." The blond said with a chuckle before pressing a soft kiss to his lips. The man sighed out softly, holding Bo to himself gently, eyes closing. He liked this... This all gave him a sense of safety, for some reason. Funny how much words could do.

BlaqueCatt Posted September 19, 2014 Author Share Posted September 19, 2014 "It's still an internship at the moment, so they won't mind if I take a few weeks off to heal." He rested his head on Lucas' shoulder and closed his eyes. His body was completely relaxed, and he hoped that his calmness was rubbing off on the blonde as well; he hated to see the other so tense and upset.

Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Lucas wanted to say something, but seemed that he decided against it after all. The blond just hid his face into Bo's shoulder as he nodded lightly and closed his eyes. It was really nice like this - and he was beginning to feel relaxed as well. He pressed a small kiss against the other's collarbone before letting out a soft sigh. "Bo... Can I take a nap?" He mumbled softly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 20, 2014 Author Share Posted September 20, 2014 The question surprised Bo, and he let out a soft laugh, tilting his head so that his cheek was resting on Lucas' hair. "Of course you can. Haven't I already told you that resting will help you heal faster?" There was a small, gentle smile on his face, and he closed his eyes as well, letting out a quiet sigh. "It's getting late anyway. I'll spend the night with you." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Lucas chuckled softly in slight embarrassment, nuzzling his cheek into the other's shoulder. "Yeah, you did say that..." He murmured quietly, his body relaxing completely. "Okay, thank you." The blond mumbled out before moving up only to press a kiss to Bo's lips. "Love you..." He muttered quietly before burrying his face back into the nurse's shoulder. Soon enough, the man was in deep sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlaqueCatt Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 "I love you too," he murmured, the embarrassment from saying that having faded. He stayed awake for a while longer, contemplating what he would do about his schoolwork, internship, and Lucas, but eventually fell asleep. Â Bo was woken up late the next day, and when he opened bleary blue eyes, the time on the clock read 11:15am. He yawned softly and blinked a few times to clear his vision. He went to move, but stopped when he felt weight on his chest. He looked down and was met with blonde hair brushing against his nose. He held his breath to keep from sneezing and smiled when he remembered where he was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie_In_A_Box Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Lucas slept as soundly as one could during the whole night. With Bo's warmth and scent, no nightmares were even near his dreams. The blond only let out a soft mumble when the nurse tried to move, also moving his head the slightest bit. That caused him to stir slowly. Warm brown eyes opened and he slowly moved his gaze up to find Bo's face. A sleepy smile stretched across his face as he moved up to press a sleepy good-morning kiss to the other's lips. He didn't say anything, not wanting to ruin the perfect moment in the morning.... Even if it was in the hospital. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
