Chapter Text
Spamton slowly opened his eyes.
His head was killing him.
Where the hell was he?
The lights were dim, and he heard voices talking nearby.
Though he couldn't tell what they were saying since his ears were ringing.
The last thing he remembers before waking up here..was… driving?
He moved slightly and realized he was in a bed.
He lifted his hand to feel the spot where it hurt the most, right on his forehead.
But there was some kind of bandage in the way.
Then he heard someone rush in
*gasp* “spamton!”
Tenna whisper-yelled at Spamton's bedside.
“You're awake!”
He kept his voice quiet and soft, probably to avoid worsening Spamtons headache.
Spamton opened his eyes, realizing that Tenna had his screen dimmed as well.
And that he was in what he guessed as a hospital.
“How are you feeling dear?”
Tenna said as he gently pressed an ice pack onto Spamton's head.
Spamton shifted at the coldness on his head
“..head hurts..”
“I figured..” Tenna took Spamton's hand “you got a concussion, honey..”
“...mm..”
Spamton didn't seem to register Tenna's words.
“I'll tell you what happened later.. for now, just go back to sleep” Tenna withdrew the ice pack in favor of placing his large hand on Spamton's torso
Spamton fell back asleep pretty quickly.

When he woke up again, he was back in him and Tenna's place, laying on their shared bed. Tenna was sleeping softly beside him.
He sat up and winced instantly, the pounding in his skull forcing him to lay back down.
Tenna woke up beside him from the movement
“Spammy? Are you awake?”
Spamton groaned from the pain in his skull.
Tenna sat up, realizing he should probably give spamton some more pain meds.
He carefully lifted Spamton's upper body, propping him up with pillows and going to get the pain meds.
He took the two little white tablets and put them up to Spamton's mouth, holding a glass of water in the other hand on standby.
“You need to take some more pain medicine, okay? Just put these in your mouth”
Tenna spoke softly.
Spamton reached up to Tenna's hand, took the two pills and put them in his mouth, taking small sips of water when the glass was brought to his lips by tenna.
Once spamton stopped trying to drink more of the water, Tenna set the glass on the nightstand and turned back to him
“How are you feeling now dear?”
Spamton blinked, trying to process the question.
“...tired..”
“You wanna go back to sleep?”
Spamton nodded, already on his way to being asleep again.
Tenna carefully took the extra pillows out from underneath spamton, slowly lowering his upper half to lay back down on the bed. He was careful not to touch his head at all or jostle him too much
He pulled the blankets over Spamton, getting back into bed next to him and placing his hand on Spamton's torso again. It worked like a charm and spamton was out like a light.

The next morning, spamton slowly woke up to the sensation of Tenna’s big hand rubbing his chest
“It's time to wake up dear..”
Tenna spoke softly above Spamton
He opened his eyes again, and was met with a dimmed screen and a sigh of relief once Tenna's saw spamton awake
“There's my star.. goodmorning..”
Tenna gently brushed his thumb against Spamton's cheek
After far too many moments, spamton murmured: “...its already mornin’? …what day is it.. what happened…?”
He started to panic slightly and tried to sit up.
Tenna kept him laying down with gentle force
“Shhh… it's okay spammy.. It's Monday. Your safe”
Tenna carefully scooped up spamton in his arms, holding spam against his chest and rubbing his back soothingly and continuing to hush him until he calmed down
Spamton shifted in Tenna's hold
“..why's my..head killing me..?”
Tenna thought for a moment
“Okay..I'll tell you what happened, but you have to stay calm, okay?”
Spamton nodded groggily
Tenna rubbed Spamton's back as he spoke
“So..from what I heard from the doctors..and from the people who saw it happen.. you.. got into a car accident. And hit your forehead on the steering wheel..”
Tenna's hold on spam tightened slightly as he felt spamton’s breathing pick up
“It wasn't the cungadero..don't worry. It was the other car.. even then..the damage was minimal..”
Tenna breathed in shakily
“I'm..just glad you're okay..”
Spamton took a second to register tennas words, but then gave up on responding. Opting to tighten his grip on tennas shirt and mumble something incoherent.
Tenna took another steadying breath, rubbing spamtons back and moving across the bed
“But you don't have to worry about anything.. I got the car fixed, now I just need to nurse my little birdie back to health..”
Spamton smiled faintly at the nickname
“Starting with..”
He placed spamton sitting upright at the edge of the bed
“Getting you to walk a bit!”
Spamton nearly fell over without the support of Tenna's hand, but he caught himself on his arm, watching as Tenna walked 3 feet away from the bed and beckoned spamton to walk to him
Spamton's legs were already hanging off the edge of the bed slightly, so he leaned forward, letting his feet touch the ground and slowly standing up.
He stood shakily. Tenna crouched down and encouraged spamton to take a few steps forward.
His walking was slow and uncoordinated, but he eventually reached Tenna, who gave him a big hug
“M'not a baby..tens..”
Tenna carefully lifted Spamton off the ground, holding him gently
“Yes, but you're my baby..who isn't feeling too good..”
Tenna carefully opened the door to their bedroom, stepping out while still holding spamton close
The living room was more dim than normal and the curtains were closed, but it was still brighter than the bedroom. The buried his face in Tenna's chest and protested incoherently about having to leave the dark comfy bedroom
“Its okay..there isn't gonna be any more moving today..I just thought a change of scenery would help you a bit..”
Tenna said as he sat down on the couch and wrapped spamton in a soft blanket
“I'm gonna do some reading.. feel free to fall back asleep, okay?”
Tenna said as he set down spamton on the couch next to him
Spamton nodded, leaning against Tenna's torso and already dozing off.
