I had only been in the hospital for two days. Not even two full days. Well, I guess it was two full days, but I was unconscious for the first part of it, so it didn't feel like that long to me. Still, I was eager to get home. I didn't want to be here anymore. I just wanted to go home and spend some time with my boyfriend.
Also, I wanted to get out of this damn hospital gown. I hadn't been wearing my own clothes since before swim practice on Monday. When I was sent to the hospital, I had been wearing someone else's shirt and sweatpants over top of my speedo. I mean, come on, talk about embarrassing. And to make matters worse, I was constantly being exposed whenever I moved around. That was so annoying.
So, when Makai pulled out the clothes that he had brought for me to wear home I was so happy. Finally! Finally, I could cover myself properly. Then again, I didn't mind being exposed to him and only him. He was the exception to the rule, the one and only person that I ever wanted to see me like that.
I didn't take a shower here at the hospital, even though I needed one. I wanted to take one at home instead. You know, just to be safe. What if I let my control slip because I had been injured? I couldn't risk someone finding out about me because of my stupidity. No, it just wasn't safe for me to take a shower here.
"That's fine, wait until we get home." Makai smiled and reassured me when I told him what I had been thinking. "I would much rather wash you when we get home."
Damn him. He was making me get all excited. And it's not like we could do anything when we were there. I mean, his parents were going to be home. Not only that, but I didn't know how much I would be up to. I was technically recovering so it's not like I would be able to do a lot, even if I wanted to.
"Stop thinking dirty thoughts." Makai grinned at me. "I can take care of you without it leading to what you're clearly thinking about right now." I blushed crimson at Makai's words. He knew me well enough that he was able to read my thoughts perfectly just now.
"Can you blame me?" I slid up next to him while I was getting dressed, my chest bare and my pants still in my hands, only my boxers and socks on at the moment. "I mean, I have one of the sexiest men alive as my boyfriend. Of course I will think about those things."
"Yeah, I know. And you're right, you do have one of the sexiest men alive as your boyfriend. And it just so happens, that I have the other sexiest man as my boyfriend. Don't we make quite the pair?" At that moment, Makai slid his hand around my waist and held me against him. He didn't kiss me, he just held me intimately and looked at me lovingly. That alone was enough for me at the moment. All I needed was to feel him, his soft supple skin, firm grip, and loving touch. I needed to feel that while it was mixed with the soothing scent that was him.
I wanted to stay that way for a long time, but we toned it down after just a few moments. As much as I craved his touch, I didn't want to risk being caught by someone who happened to come into the room. We needed to hold off on all of that for the time being. Also, my mom was on her way here to drive us home. We needed the ride since Makai had ridden here with his parents yesterday and, therefore, didn't have a way of taking me home on his own.
To be honest though, I am pretty sure that my mom would have insisted on driving me home even if Makai did have his car here. She would want to take her son home because she was worried about me. And I was so disappointed in myself for making her worry like that.
After I was dressed and ready to go, the nurses came in to give me my instructions while also commenting that I was making the biggest mistake of my life for having requested to go home already. They just didn't know what was really going on.
"If you have headaches that won't go away, you get a fever, you're dizzy or nauseous, those are signs that you need to come back to the hospital immediately." The nurse was giving me a list of things to remember but I wouldn't be needing them.
"Alright, will do." I nodded and showed that I was going to be a good boy after I left the hospital.
"No strenuous activity, no drinking or illegal substances, nothing that would leave you inebriated or impaired in any way. Those will only exacerbate your situation." Damn, what did she really think about me? Yeah, OK, I have drunk alcohol in the past, but I gave that up when I found the love of my life. I wasn't making those stupid mistakes anymore.
After she was done with her instructions, it was time for me to leave. Makai carried his bag with my things in it, not that I had that many with me. I was forced to ride in a wheelchair until we got to the covered driveway.
Mom got out of her car when she saw me and opened the front passenger door for me.
"Come on, baby. It's time to get you home." She wanted to help me into the car, but Makai had already beaten her to it.
I didn't need their help either way. I was perfectly capable of getting out of the wheelchair and moving to the car alone. Hell, if I would have let him, Makai would have carried me like a princess until he sat me in my seat. That would never happen though because I would never let him do that to me.
Mom really wanted to take me back to her house, the home that was mine until not that long ago. I knew that she wanted to have me near to check on me, but I was going to go to my new home. I was going to be with Makai. She could come to check on me every day if she wanted to.
The moment that we got home and walked through the door, we were practically ambushed by Ben and Ryan. Not to mention, Makai's parents. They were eager to get me inside and onto the couch so that I could rest. They were all treating me like I was fragile and broken. I guess that was to be expected after what happened.
"Calm down everyone, please." I tried to get them to leave me alone. "I am fine, all I want to do now is rest and get better."
"Yeah, we know that, you idiot. That is why we're making sure that you sit there and don't do anything else, stupid." Ryan, the ever present and friendly idiot, was the first to respond. He was such a good friend and always so blunt. I liked that about him.
I did my best to enjoy the afternoon with them all. I had lunch with Mom, Momma, Dad (Makai's) Ben, Ryan, and of course Makai. The food was delicious and had been prepared by Yvette, Makai's family chef. She was the one who had taught him how to cook when he was younger, so I already liked her style of cooking.
While we ate, we all talked about different topics. There were talks about school, about the future, about college, but there were no talks about what had happened to me. It seemed to me like everyone was trying really hard to avoid that subject altogether.
When dinner came around that night, Mom had gone home but everyone else was still here. I had only sat around talking to people and watching TV all day, so I wasn't as hungry as I would usually be, but I was bored out of my mind.
After we ate, I told them all that I was tired and wanted to just take a shower and go to bed. Which wasn't all that much of a lie. I was tired, but more like I was tired of what I had been doing, or rather not doing.
Not to mention, I wanted to have some alone time with my boyfriend. We had only had our alone time at the hospital last night and that wasn't nearly good enough. We hadn't had any form of privacy, so I was craving more from him.
In truth, I think that I just wanted to feel connected with him. Emotionally, not physically.. It was like my body, my heart, and my soul were all lacking something, and I needed to replenish it with some time that was just the two of us, a bed, and some snuggles.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
