Work Text:
Dwight just barely managed to stumble out of the trial, the Trapper close behind him.
A bear trap was clamped painfully around his leg and, as soon as he was safe, he collapsed to the ground.
He barely processed David by his side before everything went dark.
When he woke up, he was in a hospital bed and felt an odd sensation in his lower half. He was used to pain, but this was different. A quick glance down told him why this was.
His leg had been amputated.
"They couldn't save it" David informed him, and he only then processed the Englishman sitting at his side. "I'm so sorry, love"
"At least I'm alive, right?" Dwight chuckled. David gave him a small, sympathetic smile and kissed him on the cheek.
"I'll be here for all your physical therapy and readjustment and... Well, all of it" he promised. "I love you so much, baby"
"I love you too"
