Omega19x: *Ryou is slowly waking up..*
Omega19x: *he's been out for most the entire day, and all of last night.*
ph33r my rod: *has gone back to watching those boring old talk shows on the tiny TV in the corner of the hospital room*
Omega19x: *slowly blinks, and realizes he's not dreaming. He really is back in the hospital*
Omega19x: *tries to sit up a little.* "...ow..."
ph33r my rod: *looks over at Ryou* "...good evening, sleepyhead." *grins a little*
Omega19x: *Ryou's whole torso hurt, but mainly just from the operation itself* "... h...hi Malik..."
ph33r my rod: "How are you feeling...?"
Omega19x: "... I've... been better..."
ph33r my rod: "...I can imagine. You're in a lot of pain...?"
Omega19x: "... n...not that much..."
Omega19x: "... c..compared to... before I got here... I think."
ph33r my rod: *eyes him a bit, a little skeptical* "...that's good?"
Omega19x: *finally does manage to sit up a little*
Omega19x: "... h..how are you feeling?"
ph33r my rod: "Relatively decent... my leg's a little sore, but other than that, okay."
ph33r my rod: (( And the log is up~ ))
Omega19x: "... d...do you know when... or if... they'll have you up and walking on it?
Omega19x: (goes to look)
ph33r my rod: "Not yet. They said I'll eventually get full use of it, but no idea of when I'll be able to walk on it..."
Omega19x: "... wh..when they give the okay... you... you should at least probably start stretching it... so... so it will get stronger..."
ph33r my rod: (( brb ))
ph33r my rod: *nods a little* "Yeah, don't want it to be weaker than my good one..."
Omega19x: *thinks back to when he was sick and was trying so hard just to walk across the room.*
Omega19x: "... I'll... h..help you..."
ph33r my rod: "Okay..." *small smile*
ph33r my rod: "We'll help each other, somehow."
Omega19x: "... yeah... that's right."
Omega19x: *smile*
Omega19x: "... Having you here... it just makes me feel so much better..."
Omega19x: "... I..I'd rather you not be in... in the other bed... really. But... you know what I mean..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, I know. Even so, I'm glad we're in the same room... I'd go nuts if I couldn't see you."
Omega19x: "...me too... It was nice they put us together."
ph33r my rod: "Mmhmm." *smiles*
Omega19x: "... It'll... probably be a good month before you can move that arm around..."
Omega19x: (zomg, a popup ad just popped up that said 'HOT BLENDER LOVE' and the first thing I thought of was priestess Isis)
ph33r my rod: "...ugh, that's going to be a pain. I'll have to do everything with one hand."
ph33r my rod: (( ... O____o ))
Omega19x: "... at least you're right handed..."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, that's a relief."
Omega19x: *smiles* "... it... it might be a little funny if you had to do everything with the other hand for a while."
ph33r my rod: *smirk* "You wouldn't be able to read my handwriting at all."
Omega19x: "... but... but once we get out of here... if... if you need anything, just... just let me know. I'll get it for you..."
Omega19x: "... un...unless you get out of here before me... I... I can't get or do many things when I'm... kind of connected to all these tubes and wires."
ph33r my rod: "If I'm released before you are, I'll stay here with you..."
Omega19x: *weak smile* "... you're the best."
ph33r my rod: *smiles back, reaching out to him*
Omega19x: *scratches his nose a little, and then reaches his hand out as well* "... th..this tube... is... is really... I... I don't like it."
Omega19x: "... sorry..."
ph33r my rod: *takes his hand, squeezing it lightly* "...for what?"
Omega19x: "... f..for complaining about... this... and paying more attention to the tube than...than your hand at first."
ph33r my rod: *almost laughs a little* "Ryou, don't be sorry for something like that..."
Omega19x: *blushes*
Omega19x: "... you know... th..this feeding tube... almost makes me want hospital food... at least... at least once you finished trying to eat it, it didn't annoy you..."
ph33r my rod: *wrinkles his nose a bit* "Even if it tastes like cardboard?*
ph33r my rod: *"
Omega19x: "... at least you're tasting something..."
Omega19x: *reaches weakly for the cup of ice chips they gave him so his throat won't be all dried out.*
Omega19x: "... I guess it's... a... a good thing though..."
Omega19x: "... if it's supposed to help me not get any... any infections right now... it's a good thing."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah... so you can heal up better."
Omega19x: *weak sigh* "... there's... always something wrong with me... isn't there..."
ph33r my rod: "Ryou..." *groans, turning a little bit on his side so he can see him better* "Even if there's always something... messed up in your body, you're still you. You're still my Ryou..."
Omega19x: *blush and smile*
ph33r my rod: "Don't let it get to you, okay...?"
Omega19x: *nod*
Omega19x: "I'll try my best not to."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "That's what I wanna hear."
Omega19x: "... and... and I was trying so hard to not get sick... so... so I could be healthy and strong... I... I did a pretty good job... for a while..."
ph33r my rod: "You almost made it through the month. That counts for something."
Omega19x: "... maybe I... I tried a little too hard..."
Omega19x: "pushed myself... too... too hard..."
Omega19x: "... Maybe I should just stick to what I'm... I'm good at..."
ph33r my rod: "...or maybe just... don't wait until you're passing out, the next time you feel bad."
Omega19x: "... I... I guess I should know by now that I... I can't really hide it, huh..."
Omega19x: "I... I don't want to make anyone worry... so... So I guess I usually don't want to say anything..."
ph33r my rod: "...I'd rather you say something instead of see you in pain."
ph33r my rod: (( I don't think that was grammatically correct. o.O ))
ph33r my rod: (( Oh well. XD ))
Omega19x: "Are you... sure you want that? You... you were in my body for... for a little while... You know how it can feel..."
ph33r my rod: "I know... I just don't like seeing you in pain, Ryou. Next time, tell me if you start to feel bad, before it gets any worse... please..."
Omega19x: *a weak nod* "... o..okay, Malik. I'll... I'll tell you how I feel.. I'll... I'll be more honest about it..."
ph33r my rod: *reaches his hand out again* "... Promise?"
Omega19x: "I promise... even... even if I... I don't want you to... to worry..."
ph33r my rod: *small smile* "You know I'm always going to worry about you..."
Omega19x: "...yeah... you are..."
Omega19x: "... just like I'm always going to worry about you..."
Omega19x: "... all right... I... I promise I'll... tell you if... if I feel... d..different..."
ph33r my rod: "...okay." *bigger smile* "I'd go over there and hug you if I could..."
Omega19x: "... I... I think we'll just have to hold hands... I'm... I'm not really able to get up either..."
Omega19x: *squeezes his hand extra tight*
ph33r my rod: *does too* "It's better than nothing, right?"
Omega19x: "... of course..."
Omega19x: "... a..are you in a lot of pain?'
ph33r my rod: "...not too much. I can handle it."
Omega19x: "... okay..."
ph33r my rod: "...how about you?"
Omega19x: "... everything is... still sore... from the operation..."
Omega19x: "... but that really does feel a lot better than how I felt before it."
ph33r my rod: "...that's good. That it feels better than before, that is."
Omega19x: "... th..the pain before was... it... it was really really bad..."
Omega19x: "... I guess that's... obvious... since I was trying to find my codeine tablets..."
Omega19x: "... Just... wondering... but did you... even make it to the pharmacy... that... that night?"
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Yeah, I did, and they said you shouldn't even be taking codeine for that..."
Omega19x: "... oh?"
ph33r my rod: "Apparently narcotics are bad for any kind of gallbladder disease."
Omega19x: "... oh my... if... if someone hadn't tried to use my medicine to drug Anzu... I... I would have taken more or it that night..."
Omega19x: "... something really bad could have happened..."
Omega19x: *gulps a little. There's fate for you, right there*
ph33r my rod: "Yeah... I got you some maximum-strength Tylenol for it, but... obviously it didn't make it home."
Omega19x: "...I... I guess I should have called Dr. Malouf..."
Omega19x: "... I guess I was just... hoping it would go away... so I... I wouldn't break my resolution..."
Omega19x: "I... I should have checked with the doctor before I... before I even thought of taking something like that... even if... even if those over the counter pain medicines don't usually do anything."
Omega19x: "... sorry..."
ph33r my rod: "Well... there's not really much sense in worrying about it now."
Omega19x: "... I guess not..."
Omega19x: "... will... you forgive me for... for being selfish like that?"
ph33r my rod: "Of course I will..."
Omega19x: *weak smile*
ph33r my rod: *smiles back, squeezing his hand again*
Omega19x: *squeezes back, and blows him a kiss*
ph33r my rod: *mouths one back*
Omega19x: "... we should enjoy every moment we have together..."
Omega19x: "... just in... in case... you know..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "...yeah. I know."
Omega19x: "... and we'll... just have to depend on each other for a little while..."
ph33r my rod: "Well, I have no problem with that."
Omega19x: "... oh me neither.... You... you've always taken such good care of me... I... I want to do the same for you."
ph33r my rod: "...okay. We'll take care of each other."
Omega19x: "... in sickness and in health, as they always say..."
ph33r my rod: *blinks* "...what's that from?"
Omega19x: (and Mokuba wants to visit. sort of. So I'm making a room.)
ph33r my rod: (( Kay. :O ))
Omega19x: "... wedding vows... well, from what I remember when I was little..."
ph33r my rod: "...ohhh."
Omega19x: "... they said it at my Mom and Dad's wedding. I... I remember watching the video."
Omega19x: "... when they promised to be together forever... they promised it for... for whether it was good or bad times."
Omega19x: *weak smile* "... kind of like us... how... how we'll take care of each other when we're healthy... and... and when we're... more like me..."
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "...sounds nice."
Omega19x: "... I like it too..." *smiles back*
