Groaning as the pain circled throughout my body I slowly opened my eyes jumping slightly when I realised I was no longer in the hospital.
What the.....
Gazing at my surroundings my heart calmed when I noticed it was familiar very familiar. How the hell did I manage to get here? Catching sight of the figure asleep on the chair beside the bed I took the pillow next to me and threw it at him. Watching his reaction made a giggle burst from my mouth.
"I thought she gave you enough meds to knock you out until morning" He grumbled flicking on the light. As my eyes adjusted to the brightness I gave him a look that he knew all to well.
"Don't give me that look sweets. You wanted your own bed...."
"So you decided to take me to yours instead?" I asked cutting him off. "And who drugged me up enough for you to bring me here?".
"I thought it would be better if I brought you here. No one can make any surprise visits and I can catch some sleep" Taking his smokes from the bedside table he lit one up and sat on the edge of the bed.
"And what happens when I need medication?" I asked. Sure I wanted to be home but I wasn't ready yet and I couldn't go without some sort of pain relief.
"Got that covered darlin' are you in pain right now?" He asked
Yes!
Shaking my head no I glanced at the alarm clock 3. 30am flashing back at me. Funny thing was I felt wide awake and I was starving. As if on queue my stomach rumbled very loudly might I add. Feeling the light blush spread over my cheeks I sunk my teeth into my bottom lip.
"You hungry sweets?" He asked as he got to his feet.
"Starving" I answered "but I can wait until it's light outside". Honestly I didn't want him to leave me on my own.
"Or I can go see what we have and whip you something up?"
Eh? Was this the same Blaze?
"Whip me something up?" I smiled "I don't think I've ever seen you cook".
"Cheeky" He grinned coming to a stop beside me "I'll have you know my grilled cheese is the best. I'm going to carry you to the kitchen, that okay?" He asked
Okay.... where had blaze went? When did he ever ask?
"Since when did you ask?" I said lifting my good arm so I could slide it over his shoulders.
"I'm trying to be a gentleman here babe and you're questioning it. Let me do what I'm doing and you just enjoy it okay?"
"Hmm have I missed something? Did you do something while I was out?" I asked as he sat me down on the kitchen counter.
"Can't I just take care of my woman?" He growled trapping me between his arms.
Oh....
"B-blaze"....
"Grilled cheese" He muttered moving away from me and towards the fridge. "I swear you won't have tasted anything better. I just hope they greedy bastards haven't ate all the cheese".
"Blaze" I whispered as he prepared me something to eat. He was acting weird and I didn't like it. Not nice weird just weird like he still didn't know how to act around me and then there was that moment right there when he changed the subject. He wasn't acting like the Blaze I know, like the Blaze I fell in love with.
"Patience sweets it'll be ready...."
"Forget the sandwich Blaze I don't even feel that hungry anymore" Why was I suddenly feeling annoyed? "Can you just take me back to bed?" I asked glaring at the floor.
