Chapter Text
His legs run as fast as lightning, zooming through the crowd. It may not be sore, but his soul was tired..
"I would like to see Red please. " The man spoke to the receptionist.
" Block B Second floor, R202."
And he's already gone.
Taking a deep breath, before turning the corner in. Seeing him.
A nurse upon noticing the man, left after giving a gentle bow.
You turn around, eyes lighten up as you finally get to meet him .
"Chuck!!!" You said softly but filled with excitement.
The yellow haired boy drops everything from the ground, embracing you without hesitation.
However, your smile fades upon hearing your lover sobbing on his shoulder.
Chuck rarely cries, especially in front of everyone. He feels a lot more comfortable expressing his honest emotions to you.
You can hear it comes from hurt and sadness. There's a lump on your throat while you gently pat his back.
It took Chuck extremely quick to get himself together. with his swift moves, he grabbed the things on the floor. Take a beautiful bouquet of flowers and give it to you gently.
"It's for you, "Your boyfriend said, still hoarse from the sobbing. After letting you look, he quickly changed the flowers.
Your mind was a bit anxious for Chuck's sudden outburst. You are too scared to ask him.
Finally, Chuck sits on the chair, despite his miserable expression, he reveals a gentle smile when facing you.
That's where you finally have some courage to ask.
"Is... Is everything okay...?" You asked quietly.
Your heart falls when you see tears threatening to come out of his eyes. You feel nervous and start chewing the skin of your fingers. He seems to notice and quickly react by holding both of your hands.
"I'm sorry babe... It's just there's so much stuff going on.." he finally replied, rubbing your hand knuckles in the process. "I have a physical fight with the police. If it isn't Matilda defended me, I would get another large fine. "Chuck rambled as he kept holding your hand.
"and .. I genuinely miss you." He said, looking at you with genuine and sincerity. "I wish to take care of you at home, but it would be better if there's people watching over you most of the time..." You flinched, when Chuck's hand placed on the side of your waist, his thumbs moved,feeling the ribs despite being covered in a hospital robe.
You silently listened to him when you noticed a bruise on his right arm. Your heart swelled with empathy as you gently pointed at that injury. Chuck chuckled upon your observation. "It's from the fight... He punched me pretty hard on the arm, had to hit him back ..,"
You let out a huff, obviously wasn't pleased that policemen need to use physical methods. You let go of one of Chuck's hands and put it on that bruise.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you...,"You said softly, gently caressing his arm, he seemed to be happy. "It's okay Red... It wasn't your fault..." He replied, patting on your hands.
You seem to be confused when he suddenly lets out a gasp, with a HUGE smile on his face.
Hm, seems like he's back to his normal self again.
He grabbed the calendar and took a look. "Did your doctor tell you when you're going to be released?" He asked.
You tilted softly, nervously rubbing the back of your neck. "The doctor said if I behave well... I'll be able to leave next week." You replied as you glanced at the calendar too.
"That's great news!!!"Chuck said happily. You giggled at his enthusiasm. "When you're released, I'll think of what to do then." He said excitedly.
You caught off guard when he gives you a shoulder kiss. Which makes your face pretty red, he laughed at your adorable reaction.
Perhaps... Everything will be back in order soon..
