Doctor & Patient {Bellala99 and Koe-chan}

[BlaqueCatt]

"Good morning," Bo said softly, his own voice laced with sleep as well. His blue eyes, though somewhat dazed by dreams, were as bright as they had always been. "How did you sleep?" he asked, biting his lip to stifle a yawn. "It's almost the afternoon. I'm surprised no one has come in to check on you." He lifted his good arm above his head and stretched, his eyes closing and a sigh escaping past his lips as he did so. He wished that his other arm wasn't broken so that he could stretch it too.

"Morning..." Lucas grunted out softly, nuzzling his head into the other's shoulder sleepily. He looked almost like a cat begging to be petted. "I slept well, thanks... Did you?" The blond mumbled out the question, both arms tightly around Bo. He only grumbled something in response to what he heard next, not really caring all that much. Lucas only cared that the two of them were together, alive and happy. For now, that was all he needed.

[BlaqueCatt]

The nurse absentmindedly ran his fingers through Lucas' hair, not wanting to get up despite how late in the day it was. "I slept well," he echoed, even though he was a rather restless sleeper. "How are you feeling?" He was going to have to check the blonde's injury soon and distribute the antibiotics again.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas looked as if he was about to start purring when Bo began running his fingers through his hair. His eyes closed again as he snuggled up close, lips parted in a blissful expression. "Better..." He mumbled sleepily, the motion his boyfriend was doing making him so, so very relaxed... His own fingers began gently tracing along the other's skin, gently rubbing circles into it.

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo noticed the blonde's reaction out of the corner of his eye, and his smile widened; he was pleased that he was keeping Lucas relaxed when so much was going on. The injury, the trial, the mafia members who hadn't been caught...He shook his head, not wanting to think negatively and ruin the moment. "That's good," he whispered, reveling in Lucas' serene expression.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas sighed dreamily as he trailed his thumb over the other's side, letting out a few low grunts of satisfaction. The blond was able to forget about everything they'd been through when laying like this... Honestly, stroking his hair had always been a good way of calming him down. Even when he was a small kid, his mom would always stroke his hair after a nightmare... "Hey, Bo..." He mumbled softly, eyes closed. "This really feels nice, y'know..."

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo blushed slightly, his chest filling with warmth. "I'm glad," he said, gently pulling the blonde closer to his chest. His fingers stopped combing through his hair and instead started to lightly twirl a few strands around his index finger. "We'll have to get up soon, though," he said, somewhat regretfully. "You need to eat, and I need to give you the medication."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas could seriously start purring any moment, it seemed. He nuzzled into his boyfriend's touch, lips parting slightly in delight. "But I'm not hungry..." He mumbled softly, the idea of getting up not really making him feel too happy. The blond moved his hand a bit further, slipping under Bo's shirt to lightly trace over his spine. "The medication can wait, too..." He grumbled softly, still slightly sleepy.

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo's blush darkened when Lucas' hand snaked around his back and lightly brushed against his spine. "Y-you may not be hungry, but you still need to eat." He tried not to let the blonde know how much the small touch flustered him. "Sometimes, when you're sick, you don't notice that you're hungry. You'll need the food to help your body heal." He pressed a soft kiss on Lucas' head. "And the medication can't wait. Besides, don't you want to leave here as soon as possible?"

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas whined softly like a child that didn't want to get up in the morning for school. "But it's so comfy here..." He mumbled softly, nuzzling into Bo slightly. The blond yawned and moved a little bit, gently continuing drawing various patterns on his boyfriend's spine. "I do want to get out of here soon... But I don't wanna let go of you." He mumbled softly, sleepy and extremely cute in this condition

[BlaqueCatt]

"I don't want to get up either," he responded, "but I care more about your health than our comfort. If your injury stays infected, being like this will only hurt." Gently, he moved Lucas' head from his chest onto the pillow and slipped off of the bed. "We can do it again after you eat, though." Not once did he mention himself eating as he went to the small bathroom to get the supplies for the shot.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas sighed heavily while watching his boyfriend with sad eyes. "Okay..." He muttered and lightly rubbed his warm forehead - must've been from the infection. The blond huffed softly as Bo got up while he slowly lifted himself up to lean against the pillows. "You have to eat too." He said quietly before Bo left. The fact that he was the one with a gunshot wound didn't matter when talking about eating.

[BlaqueCatt]

The nurse casually waved him off with a flick of his wrist; even though he was a medical student, he often forgot to eat without someone to remind him. "I will," he reassured the blonde, rummaging through the cabinet above the sink for the brown bag. Once he found what he needed, he returned to the bed and opened the bag, placing sterile wipes, a small glass bottle, a needle, a jar and bandages on the table next to the bed.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas sighed softly to himself, disliking the way Bo just brushed it off. His brown eyes stayed caring and a bit worried as he observed his boyfriend rummaging through the shelves. The blond gulped down visibly at the sight of the needle, letting out a slightly shaky breath. God, what he wouldn't do to not be injected any goddamn needles. They were painful... Lucas leaned back against the pillows with his eyes closed, clearly a bit nervous now.

[BlaqueCatt]

Bo, already knowing that Lucas hated needles, wasn't surprised by the nervous look in the blonde's brown eyes. A small smile appeared on his face, and he pulled a chair over to the side of the bed. "I'll be gentle," he said, his blue eyes soft. He took Lucas' arm and extended it, using his free hand to unwrap one of the wipes. "It'll be over before you know it."

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas let out a soft, nervous chuckle as he nodded. "I'm sorry, I must look stupid like this. A grown man afraid of needles..." The blond chuckled again, clearly embarrassed and nervous about the situation. He looked away from the extended arm, knowing it would be even worse if he watched it. He could remember that one time, when his blood was being taken, he looked at the tube slowly filling with blood... He nearly fainted, no joking here.

[BlaqueCatt]

The young nurse shook his head. "You don't look stupid. There are a lot of adults who are afraid of needles. It's nothing to be ashamed of." He smiled again and rubbed the wipe across Lucas' shoulder. Then, he took the bottle and removed the cap. The tip of the needle was inserted into the small glass bottle, and a small amount of the liquid inside was drawn into the instrument. Bo flicked the top of the needle before pressing it into the blonde's skin. He did it quickly so the pain wouldn't last as long.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas seemed like he still wanted toargue but decided against it anyway. The blond kept his head turned away, lightly chewing on his bottom lip as he waited for the pain to come and finish as soon as possible. When the needle was pierced through his skin, Lucas tensed up a bit, his breathing slightly quicker as he tried not to think about the needle. He felt like a child...

[BlaqueCatt]

The tip of the needle was only beneath his skin for a few seconds. "There," Bo said as he removed the instrument, standing up to dispose of it. His tone was light, as if he had been giving a shot to a child; it wasn't intentional, but certain things stuck with people after doing it for a long time. Most nurses adopted the same tone when caring for others if they had worked with kids before. Once the needle was disposed of, he returned to his seat and pulled back Lucas' gown to observe the bandages on his chest.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

An obvious relieved sigh left Lucas' mouth when the shot was over. He looked embarrassed about it, staring at his lap with the slightest tint of pink on his cheeks. The blond didn't say or do anything as his bandages were checked. Of course, that didn't last long. His hand was soon raised to gently caress Bo's cheek before brushing his thumb over his jaw, then his neck. Small motions like this somehow helped him relax which he wanted.

An obvious relieved sigh left Lucas' mouth when the shot was over. He looked embarrassed about it, staring at his lap with the slightest tint of pink on his cheeks. The blond didn't say or do anything as his bandages were checked. Of course, that didn't last long. His hand was soon raised to gently caress Bo's cheek before brushing his thumb over his jaw, then his neck. Small motions like this somehow helped him relax which he wanted.

[BlaqueCatt]

At first Bo was surprised when Lucas touched his cheek, but as he studied the blonde's expression, he came to understand why he was doing it. He pressed a gentle kiss to Lucas' cheek before pulling away and gathering the supplies in his arms. "Do you want to walk to the cafeteria or should I bring the food to you?" he asked from the bathroom, busy with putting everything away in its proper place.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas was really grateful when Bo didn't push him away, didn't question what he was doing. He smiled at the kiss, his eyes filled with such honest love, it was almost embarrassing. Hell, if he would see the same emotion in Bo's eyes, he'd definitely feel nervous. "I want to walk myself, but will you let me?" The blond asked quietly, a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips. "I don't want to stay in bed for all the time." He admitted with a quiet sigh.

[BlaqueCatt]

The nurse laughed softly, the sound even more distant due to the wall separating the main room from the bathroom. "You can walk," he replied, poking his head out of the doorway so that they made eye contact, "but if you start to feel tired or sick, don't hide it. Tell me and we'll take a break, okay?" He disappeared to finish the sorting and exited the bathroom a few moments later.

[Zombie_In_A_Box]

Lucas smiled in slight embarrassment, nodding without realizing Bo couldn't see it. "A-Ah, yeah, okay." He immediately voiced his answer after realizing his boyfriend was in another room, where he couldn't see his nod. The blond let out a sigh and slowly got out of the bed, slightly holding onto the wall to make sure he had his balance. He still felt a little bit sick, but that was probably normal. A fever maybe wasn't... "So... Will you help me walk?" He asked teasingly, taking slow steps. He was feeling so sluggish after getting out of bed...

[BlaqueCatt]

There was the sound of running water, and soon after it stopped, Bo exited the bathroom and smiled at the blonde. "Of course I will." He accidentally overlooked the tease, taking the question literally, and reached out to take Lucas' hand. "Do you feel dizzy?" he asked, slowly leading him towards the door. "If you want, I can get you a wheelchair."
