"Micha knew there had to be a meaning behind it. He understood it as Samuel explained it. Micha was glad for the fact that Samuel was still here and he wasn’t alone. He didn’t think he could handle things alone. If anything he probably would have escaped the hospital by now, but he wasn’t. Micha was giving Samuel the benefit of the doubt, that he wasn’t going to suddenly jump out the window just to get away. He relaxed as Samuel spoke, but something was off as Samuel continued to speak. Micha watched as he pulled away from him, to sit down beside him on the chair. He listened as Samuel spoke, not surprised by his words of love but more by his words of leaving. ”I never assumed you would leave..” Micha spoke softly watching Samuel. He words made him cautious, wondering if that’s why they had argued.

“Relationships are ropes. Love is a noose."

In all honesty, he was rather surprised that such a lie had actually worked. They wore no rings, had no marriage license, just sheer devotion to one another. His only guess was maybe the doctors saw how much he cared for his boyfriend. As for their story of how exactly Micha got hurt, it was only a matter of time before someone wanted more answers. Answers that Samuel probably wouldn't be able to give since he wasn't a witness. And Micha.....for now he needed rest. There was no telling if his memories came back. On the one hand, it would be nice if they did so he could pester him with his questions. Then again, maybe forgetting was a blessing in disguise. Memories or not, they both knew what a lovely person Micha's father was. As he moved off to sit back in the chair he couldn't help but notice the way Micha was watching him. His words didn't match his tone but Samuel said nothing on the matter. He merely nodded and left it at that. He saw no reason to further bring up their fight. It was a stupid fight, one he himself would rather forget rather than hash up and explain his stupidity.

"Not remember was something he didn’t like. He found that he hated that Samuel couldn’t tell him everything he wanted to know. Perhaps it was better, but perhaps it wasn’t. As long as his father never bothered him again, then perhaps not remembering what had happened was for the best. He was worried though as unrelated to his father, it seemed something between Samuel and him had happened. Micha couldn’t remember, but he didn’t think Samuel was going to tell him anytime soon. He relaxed as he sat there as silence seemed to spread between them. Micha watched as Samuel sat beside him. He reached a hand out, grabbing Samuel’s own, lacing their fingers together. Micha was glad if anything not to be alone in the hospital. He didn’t think he could manage it. Micha sighed softly, ”Thank you for staying Samuel…” He spoke gripping Samuel’s hand a little tightly, perhap out of fear.

Deep down he knew he ought to tell the male the truth about their fight. But what was there to say really? That Micha was getting on his nerves and out of stupidity he just left him in the middle of Queens? It was a stupid thing he did and he had already apologized for it. Doing so again would just make things complicated for no reason. Micha had enough on his plate that didn't involve his petty bullshit. So for now, he chose to say nothing. Samuel pulled himself away from his thoughts as he felt the male cover his hand with his own. He didn't complain or pull away as the male held on tight. Instead, he simply smiled and nodded.

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"Lying there, he hardly cared about any fights. He was just glad to be alive in a sense. Micha hadn’t died from his injuries, but had come close to it. He rolled over on his side, groaning slightly, but silenced himself. Micha pulled the blankets closer around him. He glanced at Samuel curiously but said nothing. Micha closed his eyes, as he tried to go back to sleep. He didn’t know if Samuel would stay, but as they weren’t talking it was best to try to sleep. Micha relaxed as he lay there. He tried to find some comfort in lying there but it was hard.

Like Micha, he was glad that the male hadn't died. Especially given the amount of trauma his body had suffered in the last forty-eight hours. In his unknowing opinion, it seemed like a miracle that he was even awake at this point. Samuel watched the male as he rolled to his side and helped him a bit by moving the many tubes and wires out of his way. He continued to hold his hand even after he closed his eyes and started to drift back to sleep. For the moment, Samuel wasn't planning on going anywhere. He was content to stick with the male unless he asked to leave otherwise.

As the day waned on, Samuel remained in place. Unmoving and supportive as ever. Doctors and nurses came and went to check on Micha. As well as to leave Micha his meals. The only time Samuel had left his bedside was to get some coffee from the waiting room and to use the restroom. Later in the afternoon, the sun was bright and the hospital was abuzz with activity. At long last, he decided to give in to his bodily needs and find some food of his own that didn't come from a vending machine. Before he left, Samuel searched the room for a scrap of paper and a pen. He scribbled a quick note in-case Micha woke up while he was gone. He set the note on the table next to his bed and pressed a gentle kiss to his temple. He quietly left the room and followed the semi-familiar path to the elevator. He was almost positive that he saw a cafeteria back on the second floor. If worst came to worst, he could always find a nurses station and ask for directions.

"Falling asleep was well within his good intention. He barely noticed movement as Samuel moved around the room, or the doctors and nurses coming about. Micha figured sleep was the best thing he needed to heal. He ignored the feeling of people touching him, and the sound of them talking. Micha let the pain medication take over as it was injected every few hours.

As he slept, he started to have flashbacks of the previous nights. He found himself standing in the park alone as Samuel took off. Micha let the feeling of Samuel’s betray settle in. Hearing Samuel’s words as left him ran through his head. He couldn’t believe Samuel would leave him, or the thought of leaving him. Micha woke with fear shaking, as he looked around. He didn’t see Samuel sitting beside him anymore, as he had been. Micha wondered if seeing Samuel had been a dream too.

He barely noticed the note Samuel had left for him. Micha had no way of getting out of the room. He could hear the sound of the heart monitor machine beeping loudly in the corner beside him. Micha felt as if his heart would leap out of his chest anytime soon. He took deep breaths trying to calm himself down, but it wasn’t working.

As luck would have it, Samuel found himself lost and somehow wandering around Maternity. Pitiful really. Put in the middle of Manhattan and he could easily find his way to some new coffee shop or trending restaurant. But here, here he wasn't so lucky. He could only hope that Micha was still sleeping and hadn't woken up to find him gone. Sure he left him a note, but he knew he wasn't in his right mind at the moment. Hurrying down the hall, Samuel searched for a nurses' station. It would take him at least fifteen minutes before he was able to find someone. Turns out he wasn't anywhere near the cafeteria, let alone the correct side of the building. He listened carefully as the woman gave him turn-by-turn directions to the cafeteria. When she was finished, he thanked her and went over the directions at least ten times, following each one just as she said.

Another ten minutes later, Samuel was walking in to the dim lit cafeteria. The walls and floor were white, with soft music playing overhead. A few people sat at the tables, while only one other was paying for their food. Samuel looked over the various food items. After a minute or two, he grabbed a nice handful of items that would last him the next couple of hours including a dinner of a turkey sandwich, chips, and a coke. He also grabbed a few snacks he was sure that Micha might like to have when he was awake later. Overall, he paid a ridiculous amount for the food and took another fifteen minutes heading back to the room. The elevator took its sweet time before the doors opened up to Micha's floor. Unlike when he left, it was filled with noise. Samuel felt a bit of unease and started for Micha's room. The further he walked down the hall, the louder the noise became. Walking in to the room, Micha was again surrounded by people. In that moment, he felt like his world was crashing down. People told him to get out, but he didn't budge. He didn't even realize he was being dragged out of the room until the door was shut in his face and a nurse was by his side explaining the situation. But all of it was falling on deaf ears.

"Feeling hands grab at him, he struggled to get free. Micha noticed the white lab coats surrounding him. He wanted to get free, he wanted to leave right now. Micha’s eyes searched the area around him. He saw glimpses of Samuel near the door, trying to get in. His attention turned back toward the doctor and nurses surrounding him. The sight of a needle was brought into his eyes. He only struggled more. Micha didn’t like the idea of needles, and wasn’t sure what it was going to do to him. He watched as the needle was injected into his IV. The injection was more pain medication mixed with something that would help him calm down.

It didn’t take the medication long to kick in. Micha relaxed as he started to feel groggy. He didn’t want to go to sleep, but it appeared he was having no choice. Finally drifting off into unconsciousness, the nurses left him to sleep. The doctor let Samuel come into the room so he could talk to him. He informed Samuel that Micha had a panic attack, which lead to his increased heart rate which worried them about Micha hurting himself, if they didn’t give him medication to calm him.

Samuel was not pleased to find out that they sedated Micha over something as simple as a panic attack. On the one hand, he could understand why they did it. But at the same time, he wish they had let him try to calm him himself first before resorting to medication. He wasn't given a choice as much as Micha and didn't sit well at all. Quietly, Samuel thanked the doctor and waited for him to leave them in peace. Coming closer to the bed, Samuel set his bags on the floor and looked over the male. Reaching out, he gently smoothed his hair back. "Guess you didn't see the note." he murmured. Samuel looked towards the night stand only to find said note had somehow instead up on the floor in all the confusion. He bent down to pick it up and crumpled the note as there was no need for it now. Samuel then went ahead and covered the male up and adjusted the tubes and wires so they wouldn't be in the way as he slept. When he finished, he brought the chair he had been sitting in back to the males bedside and sat back down. He was no longer feeling hungry so he didn't bother with the food. It would be there if he wanted it later. For now, he just wanted Micha to get well enough that they could leave this place. All he could do now was to suck it up and be patient. From what the doctor had told him, it could be days or even a week before Micha was cleared to leave. With freakout's like this, he was sure they weren't helping. Sighing, he leaned back in the chair and waited for sleep to find him too.

"A month had gone by sick Micha’s ‘accident’. He had partially recovered, as he was able to be up walking around. Micha couldn’t stay any longer. He was become tired of the day in and day out of everything. Micha needed to leave, he had already closed off his studio and sold it. He had a little help from a friend to pack up his stuff and set it up in his house. Micha wasn’t selling his house, even though he wanted to, but without it he had no where. With his studio, it was better off being sold. He couldn’t go back there without reliving his bad memories. Micha had some good ones but not enough for him to keep it.

After checking out of the hospital, Micha had Samuel take him home. He couldn’t stand to stay there anymore. Micha had regained his memories even the one’s he had forgotten. He just wanted to move on with his life.

He couldn't believe an entire month had passe since that horrible evening. Like any dedicated "husband", he stayed by the males side night and day. Only leaving to go home to shower and change, as well as grabbing a bite to eat. Within their first week he was already on a last name basis with most of the doctors and nurses tending to Micha's floor. He given daily updates on his condition, and helped where he could - which wasn't much at all. Halfway through it all, Samuel was just as ready to get out of this cursed place. Nice as everyone was, he had to say he had a great respect for anyone who was staying an even longer term than they. As the days passed by, Micha grew stronger, and his wounds healed as well his mind. They often spent the days chatting about what he could remember, how his physical therapy was going, and other idle prattle. When Micha informed him that he was going to be selling the studio, he had to admit it was rather saddening. While he could understand the reasoning behind it, there was no denying they had a few good memories there. Still, Samuel said nothing and let him do as he pleased. It wasn't his right to say what Micha could or could not do with his properties. Just like it would be wrong if Micha tried to decide what Samuel could do with his penthouse or mansion. Of course he didn't worry about such things.

After the studio was sold, Micha was released from the hospital two weeks later. In their talks, they had discussed and slightly bickered like an old married couple about where Micha would go when leaving here. In the end, Samuel agreed to accompany him back to his house. He brought some fresh clothes and highly suggested he simply toss what he wore when he was brought in to the hospital. On the day of his release, he brought his car around to the designated pick-up area and waited while was brought downstairs by a nurse. Going around the car, he opened the side door and helped him rise from the chair and in to the car. Thanking the nurse, he went back around to the driver's side. Samuel was quick to buckle up and waited til Micha was ready before taking off. "Do you need to stop by anywhere before we head to your house? Maybe get some groceries? Or grab lunch?" he asked curiously.

"Being in the hospital the last month had no left much options for him. He had to give up his place of business. It was not something he wanted to do but it was for the best. He hadn’t had much time either to do anything but sit in bed. Micha didn’t have the luxury of many choices. He had grown thinner in the last few weeks as he hadn’t eaten much. Micha was rather picky with food and being in the hospital didn’t change that.

After being loaded into a wheelchair, he was brought downstairs by a nurse. Micha held onto his crutches as it was all the stability he had at the moment. He wasn’t allowed to walk much on his leg in the next couple of weeks. Micha was also stuck with a cast on which was not his favorite thing as it was extremely itchy. A few times he was tempted to stick something down it and itch it but he was scolded by Samuel not to. He didn’t have much in the ways of an argument at the moment.

Once downstairs he was glad to be going home. Micha stood on wobbly legs as he held onto his crutches. He thanked Samuel for helping him as he slid into his car. Micha set the crutches beside him as he held onto them. He moved to buckle himself in a get comfortable as Samuel joined him in the car in the driver's side. Micha glanced toward Samuel as he questioned him. He nodded, ”Some lunch would be great.” Micha spoke smiling at him, was it bad he was craving a burger, fries and a milkshake?

Once Micha was buckled in, Samuel pulled away from the curb and steered the car through the parking lot. He was just turning in to the street when the male spoke. Taking a quick glance his way, he saw the smile spread across his face. "Alright, lunch it is." he replied, smiling back. Samuel was glad to have the male out of the hospital. It was a relief to have him at long last out of that place. No more drug induced sleeps, crowding nurses, and over attentive doctors. And to celebrate, he wanted to treat him to something nice. Driving through the streets, they passed the various chains like Burger King and McDonalds. Not good enough. Turning left at the light, he headed towards an old favorite. It was the restaurant that Micha had taken him to one one of their first handful of dates. Pulling in to the lot, he drove around to the nearest open parking space. "This work for you?"

 

[xDarkWinterx]

"Being out of the hospital was something he was glad of. He wanted to be back home, and get things worked out. Micha knew his house was probably trashed, as everything he had owned, and didn’t sell was sitting in his living room. He was in no hurry to clean, but he was just in a hurry to be back under a roof where he didn’t have to be poked and prodded. MIcha was glad that Samuel was there to get him, and take him home. He relaxed in the seat beside Samuel, happy he agreed to buy him food. Micha’s stomach growled at the idea of food. Driving through the streets, he looked out the window. As Samuel pulled into a place he recognized, he was happy. He nodded as Samuel spoke. ”Yes, this will work.” Micha spoke smiling at Samuel as he pulled into a parking spot. He unbuckled himself once the car stopped and turned off. MIcha opened the door grabbing his crutches and moved to get out, standing on his one good leg.
