Ethan saw Raz but couldn't really conprehend what was going on. He could see his mouth moving but couldnt hear a word. Everything was getting really fuzzy. He wanted to comfort Raz but he couldnt seem to lift his hand more than an inch off the ground
After Raz yelled at the operator to get paramedics to their location, he cupped Ethan's cheek and pressed their heads "they're coming, just hold on for a few more minutes, please." He choked down a sob "please, please, please….."
Ethan leaned his head into Raz's hand. It was so warm and he felt so cold. He let his eyes close. He knew he was safe in the hands of his love. A few minutes later and the sirens could be heard. The EMTs quickly got him into a stretcher and in the ambulance. They let Raz ride with them to the hospital
Raz was forced to let go of Ethan when they brought him to the ambulance. He quickly went back inside to grab Jax and hopped into the back where Ethan was on a stretcher. He felt nauseated at the sight and smell of all the equipment, knowing he'd feel worse once they got to the hospital. He took a few deep breaths, trying to stay strong for Ethan. He pressed his face into jax's fur, finding comfort in his softness. Reaching over, he took Ethan's hand in his and laced their fingers together. "I'm here love," he wispered
As they got to the hospital, Ethan was raced to surgery. A nurse stayed behind to direct Raz where to sit, telling it was going to be a long night
Raz, spent from crying and yelling at people,obliged and sat in the chair. He glanced around. Every so often, he stood up and glanced I to the small window to Ethan's room. "Stay with me love, you promised."
(I forgot it was the morning lol)
It was well into the late afternoon when the doctor stepped into the sitting area in search for raz. It wasn't hard to find him, the dog giving it away. He approached him with a straight face. "The bullet missed his heart by a couple inches. We were able to extract all the fragments out of his chest. If he can make the next 24 hours he'll be on the road to recovery. He's sleeping in his room if you'd like to see him."
(lol)
Jax stood In front of Raz protectively as the doctor spoke.
Raz nodded, afraid that if he spoke, tears of relief would begin. He grabbed jax's leash and was led to Ethan's room. When the doctor left, he sat on the edge of the bed and stroked ethan’s hair “a few more hours baby, thats all i ask. Please just hold on for one more day.”
There were multiple machines hooked up to Ethan. He had an IV on the top of his hand and the heart monitor beeping. He had oxygen tubes out of his nose. His chest was bare, the rest covered by the hospital nightgown. There was a bandage on his chest, covering the stitches.
He sighed softly and pulled up a chair, close to Ethan's bed. He sat down and laced their fingers together while with his free hand he rested it on jax's head
" We still have some much to do. I was thinking of finding Jax a girlfriend, to start having puppies with. Maybe we can keep a few and raise them." Jax huffed a woof and layed down. "Jax doesn't seem to like that, think dog's can be gay? Probably gets that from.us." Raz smiled softly before it faded "hang in there eth." He kissed his hand and shifted so he could sleep a bit, still keeping their hands laced together
Ethan woke up several times during the night, dazed and heavily drugged. He was severely out of it. It was until late morning when he finally seemed to be lucid. The first thing he noticed as he became conscious was pain. Lots of pain. He groaned as he peeled his eyes open, squinting in the bright lights. He turned his head, only then realizing he had tubes in his nose. What was going on?
Jax was the first to wake. He trotted over to Ethan and nudged his hand which was still laced with raz'. He whined softly. Raz woke up slowly and glanced over at Ethan "look who finally woke from almost being dead." He smiled softly, tears welling up in his eyes
Ethan smiled down at Jax. "Hey buddy." He looked up at Raz, his heart hurting, and not because he was shot. "Oh darling, don't cry." He cooed.
Raz whiped a few tears away "I'm trying to, love." H…how are …you feeling?" He asked, shifting so he sat up in the chair
Ethan lifted his arm, with much more difficult than he cared to admit, and set his hand on Raz's cheek. "I'm fine. How are you love? You look awful." He caressed his cheek gently
He leaned into Ethan's hand, holding it in place. "Don't worry about me, love. I'll be fine. Just a bit sleep deprived." He kissed his palm
Ethan smiled softly at him. He scooted over on the bed, which led him to hiss out in pain. He didn't stop however until there was enough room for Raz to lay beside him. "Lay down with me love."
Raz stood and layed down on the bed, "let me know if I'm hurting you or anything." He gently rested his head on Ethan's shoulder and kissed his neck "now tell me the truth, how are you really feeling?"
Ethan wrapped his arm around Raz. He leaned his forehead against his. "My chest hurts a lot, but I'll make it through it." He kissed his cheek.
He sighed softly in relief and lightly stroked Ethan's cheek. "What happened? Did you see the person that shot you?"
Ethan shook his head. "No. No, I don't really remember a lot of it. All i remember was one minute I was fine and then I was on the ground."
Raz nodded in understanding and curled up against Ethan "Did they tell you when you'd get out?"
Ethan shook his head. "Probably a week or two." He kissed his head
he nudged up into his neck and sighed softly "yay….more time in a hospital….and I don't even have my flower crown! great…."
Ethan sighed softly. "I know love. Why don't you go home tonight, shower and eat something other than this hospital food. You can bring your flower crown tomorrow."
He shook his head "I'm staying with you. at least here I can manage to keep the food down. Plus I don't know if the person is still around." he glanced up pleadingly at Ethan "I don't wat to leave you."
Ethan sighed and stroked his side gently. "Love, you're going to need a proper shower and a Good nights sleep. You're not going to get that here." He sighed. "I can call a friend if you don't feel safe at home. He'll protect you."
"But what about you?" he asked softly, not wanting to leave Ethan alone in the hospital "How am I supposed to sleep without you there?"
Ethan nuzzled his hair. "You got to try. Sleep in my clothes, on my side of the bed. It won't be for forever but I don't want you sleeping here. It won't be comfortable."
