Omega19x: *Well, Ryou is you know where.*
ph33r my rod: *Malik is also there. Halfway dozing, but also there.*
Omega19x: *a nurse walks in* "Ah, Ryou, how are you feeling today?"
Omega19x: "... b..better... than before."
Omega19x: "That's good. Dr. Malouf was hoping to at least get you out of bed today, and getting a little exercise."
Omega19x: "Perhaps a walk up and down the hall."
ph33r my rod: *is woke up by the talking, didn't even realize he'd fallen asleep* "..."
Omega19x: "... okay..."
Omega19x: "here, let me just rearrange things a little, and take you off a couple of the monitors."
Omega19x: "The IV tree will come with you, but you probably already know how this works."
Omega19x: "... h..hi Malik..." *smile* "... They think I'm... well enough to try walking around. Isn't that good?"
ph33r my rod: *nods, yawning a little* "...uh huh."
Omega19x: "... sorry... I... I guess I woke you up..."
ph33r my rod: *shakes head* "Nah, 's okay... didn't really realize I fell asleep."
Omega19x: *the nurse helps Ryou out of bed*
Omega19x: *he feels quite weak, as one usually does when they've been in bed for a week.*
Omega19x: (ha ha, bad play on words. bad me.)
ph33r my rod: (( Har har. :P ))
Omega19x: "Come on, now. I've got you."
Omega19x: *looks up at Malik*
ph33r my rod: *gives him an encouraging smile, but can't really do much else except hold his hand out in case Ryou needs to steady himself*
Omega19x: *the nurse helps Ryou walk, holiding the lines of numerous IVs*
Omega19x: "There you go."
Omega19x: "... I'm... just... a.. a little stiff..."
ph33r my rod: "Well, you've been in that bed all week. I'd almost be worried if you weren't all stiff."
Omega19x: *weak smile towards Malik*
Omega19x: *and takes things one foot in front of the other*
Omega19x: "That's very good. Dr. Malouf will be pleased."
Omega19x: *the walking continues, and eventually Ryou is led back to the bed so he can rest*
Omega19x: "you're well on your way to getting out of here, Ryou." *the nurse smiles, and heads out of the room*
Omega19x: *smiles*
ph33r my rod: *grins* "It went well, I take it?"
Omega19x: "They're pleased."
ph33r my rod: "That's good..."
Omega19x: "... Dr. Malouf is pleased about several things..."
Omega19x: "... especially that even though I've got a... a bad infection in my bone marrow, that it hasn't harmed the normal cell production... like... like a cancer would... Well... not as much anyway..."
Omega19x: "... not to the point of a medical emergency, anyway..."
ph33r my rod: "...and that's going to clear up anyway, isn't it?"
Omega19x: "he hopes it... it will respond to the treatment."
Omega19x: "this... this sort of thing usually does."
ph33r my rod: *reaches over and takes his hand* "Then, I don't think there's much to worry about..."
Omega19x: *smiles, and squeezes his hand*
Omega19x: "... h..how are you doing?"
Omega19x: "... is the pain very bad?"
ph33r my rod: "Not really. Mildly annoying at most, nothing to really worry about. It's just in my leg, and that's only because I've had to kinda limp a bit with this crutch..."
Omega19x: "... how's the shoulder... and... and the collarbone?"
ph33r my rod: "It's kinda inconvenient that I can't use that arm, but it doesn't hurt unless I try to move it."
Omega19x: "... then... you shouldn't try to move it just yet..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Right. Not like I really can move it much with it in this sling..."
Omega19x: "... true..."
Omega19x: "oh... Mana came by earlier while you were... getting something to eat."
ph33r my rod: "Really?"
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "... she brought more cream puffs... which is good... because the ones I had yesterday got taken last night..."
ph33r my rod: "Aww, I'm sorry."
Omega19x: "... I guess policy is policy... wherever you go to the hospital..."
ph33r my rod: "Well, at least you got to have something edible..."
Omega19x: *weak nod, and reaches under the bed as best he can, to bring out the new box of cream puffs Mana left*
ph33r my rod: "Ooh."
Omega19x: "... want to... share them with me?"
Omega19x: *carefully opens box*
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "Okay."
Omega19x: *passes a puff to Malik*
ph33r my rod: *takes it and nibbles on it*
Omega19x: *eats one*
Omega19x: "mmm... nothing like fresh cream puffs."
ph33r my rod: "Mmhmm." *licks some of the cream off of his fingers* "Not quite as good as Ryou-made puffs, but still good."
Omega19x: "... nibbles on a second puff*
Omega19x: "at least they don't taste like cardboard..."
ph33r my rod: (( *snerk* Lookit Mokuba's last response to Honda's post. XD ))
ph33r my rod: *nods* "Much better than hospital food."
Omega19x: (cream puff love!)
ph33r my rod: (( Heehee! ))
Omega19x: *smiles* "... Malik, can we do something fun... and... and romantic... when I get out of here?"
ph33r my rod: *smiles* "Sure. Got something in mind?"
Omega19x: "... maybe something.. f.fancy... like a big dinner and... and well... I don't know really... something formal, I guess."
Omega19x: "We don't do that too often..."
Omega19x: "like... for Valentines' Day, I suppose."
ph33r my rod: "...yeah, that sounds nice."
Omega19x: "... yeah... a formal candlelight dinner... just the two of us..."
ph33r my rod: *grins* "I'd like that a lot."
Omega19x: "... me too."
Omega19x: *smiles*
Omega19x: "I hear they have a paddleboat, for formal dinners, that docks just in the bay. And you can stand on the dock and watch the moon..."
Omega19x: "Maybe we should try that."
ph33r my rod: "Yeah, that sounds good... I hope they release you before then."
Omega19x: "... me too... I... I think they were looking at Monday..."
Omega19x: "... I hope they still are..."
ph33r my rod: "Well, there's still a week between then and Valentine's day, so... I doubt they'd keep you an extra week."
Omega19x: *smiles* "probably not... I've... gotten a lot better over the past few days... I really have."
ph33r my rod: (( Wouldn't you know it, it's on a Tuesday too. DX ))
Omega19x: (well, we can do it any day we want)
ph33r my rod: (( True. ))
Omega19x: (please don't ever take that out of context.)
ph33r my rod: (( ...*dies* ))
Omega19x: (*WAAAAH! it fucked up again!!)
ph33r my rod: (( ... DDDD: ))
Omega19x: "... what... what do you want to do once we're both released?"
Omega19x: "... maybe we could plan a whole romantic day... where... where we all do our favorite things!"
Omega19x: *bright smile*
ph33r my rod: *grins back* "Yeah, that'd be a lot of fun. What kind of stuff do you want to do?"
Omega19x: "... hmm..." *smiles and thinks*
Omega19x: "... I'd like to go to a spa... and... and we could get massages and... and relax... before we get dressed for a fancy dinner..."
ph33r my rod: "Ooh, yeah, that'll be fun." *wonders if a massage would hurt with his shoulder the way it is, though* "Hm..." *thinks about what he might want to do*
Omega19x: "... what do you want to do?"
Omega19x: "... it's no fun if you don't do something you want to do... it would be... a day for both of us, remember!"
ph33r my rod: "Well... when we get home, there's always snuggling, but we do that regardless... maybe we could find some more of those cute games to play or something."
Omega19x: "oh yes... of course... We could probably end our romantic day with a big snuggle."
Omega19x: "... maybe even... snuggle while stargazing..." *soft smile*
ph33r my rod: *nodnod* "Oooh, yeah. I think the last time we did that together was on the cruise..."
Omega19x: "... on the beach... in back of your house, maybe. It's really nice there."
Omega19x: "... maybe it would be nice to... to fly in a hot air balloon too... but that's... just a daydream..."
Omega19x: *imagines him and Malik flying in a bright balloon into the sunset*
Omega19x: "... it would probably make me sick, though... knowing how well I fly..."
ph33r my rod: *nods* "We'd probably better just stick to the ground, then. Everything we do will be special anyway, because we'll be together..."
Omega19x: *nods*
Omega19x: "... everyday is special for that reason..."
ph33r my rod: *smiles and takes his hand* "Regardless of where we are, huh?"
Omega19x: *nod*
ph33r my rod: "But yeah... whatever we end up doing, I'm looking forward to it."
Omega19x: "... me too."
Omega19x: *smiles, a little sleepily*
ph33r my rod: "Until then, you should probably get some more rest... you'll get better faster."
Omega19x: "... okay... You... you should go home and get some rest too..."
ph33r my rod: "I don't wanna leave you, though..."
Omega19x: "I'll... I'll be all right... I... I promise."
Omega19x: "... you need to be sleeping in a nice bed, where you can prop that leg up... and... and relax."
Omega19x: "... it will help you get better faster..."
ph33r my rod: "..." *nods* "...okay."
Omega19x: "... it'll only be a couple more days, maybe... And then we'll both be back at home..."
Omega19x: *yawn*
ph33r my rod: "Alright..." *stands up and leans over his bed a little* "I'll come back and see you tomorrow, okay...?"
Omega19x: *blows a kiss up at Malik* "okay."
Omega19x: *smiles* "... you get some rest, now..."
ph33r my rod: *leans down and gives him a real kiss* "You too."
Omega19x: *in another minute or so, Ryou's fast asleep*
ph33r my rod: *gently strokes his hair for a few moments, then leaves*
Omega19x: (aww...)
ph33r my rod: (( *squee* ))
Omega19x: (you know what I just thought of?)
ph33r my rod: (( Hmm? ))
