Timo slowly opened his eyes to find the infirmary's ceiling. How did he got here again ? Oh, right... He was so focused on catching the golden snitch before Mikkel that he didn't see the bludger coming straight to his abdomen a second after he closed his hand on it. At that point, he was lucky to be alive - but he had brought victory to Slytherin so all was good. Nevertheless, he couldn't stop being amazed by the wonders magic did to medicine.
Unsurprisingly, his whole body felt stiff, except for a warm sensation coming from his hand. Upon investigating it, his eyes fell upon a head full of sandy hair that obviously belonged to the same person that was holding that hand. He felt his face heating up at this thought and made a movement of surprise, unwillingly awakening his friend.
Immediately, the head rose up and deep blue eyes met his gaze, expressing lots of joy and relief.
- Timo, you woke up !
As Lukas saw his friend's unnatural face color and his expression, he quickly averted his eyes and put his hand away, turning red as well.
- I- I was worried.
Timo's lips turned into a slight smile.
- Hi Lukas. How long have I been here ?
- It has been three days.
- Huh. Guess I've really been knocked out good, right ?
- That's not funny, we've all been worried sick. The nurse had a hard time patching you up, and you could have had serious injuries left. Luckily the spell was a success, and she said you would be okay.
- So all is well that ends well, right ?
- No. You should be more careful, it's not like you don't know the dangers of Quidditch. Even Mikkel had the presence of mind to avoid that bludger.
- I'm sorry.
The words left place to an awkward silence. Both of them avoided to mention the hands. Getting redder by the minute, Lukas put his blue robe back on his shoulders, getting ready to leave.
- Anyway, now that you're awake I'll go get the nurse. I don't think they will let me come back afterwards, but I'll stop by with everyone tomorrow before class.
- Wait !
Timo grabbed his wrist, surprising him once more.
- What about you ?
- What ?
- How long have you been here ? It's past the curfew.
- That's not important.
Timo let out a warm smile coming straight from the heart, a smile only for Lukas.
- Thank you for staying with me. It means a lot.
Another silence followed, quieter. The kind of silence where both of them could share more than they could ever had with words. Lukas left, only stopping at the door for a few seconds.
- I'm glad you're okay. I don't know what I would have done otherwise.
As he disappeared through the door, Timo was left with a warm feeling in his chest and a smile on his face, wondering whether he had dreamed or not until the nurse entered the infirmary and proceeded to check his current state.
- Some dedicated friend you have here. He insisted on watching after you day and night. We only got him to leave to take your classes so you wouldn't fall behind, but he came back right after that everyday. At some point, your injury may have had a bigger impact on him than it did on you.
- I made him worry a lot, huh ?
- Sure did. He took really good care of you, so you better watch after yourself next time if you want to return him the favour, else the poor boy might loose his mind.
- I will.
- Keep him close too. You only find people who love you like that once in a lifetime.
Sorry, but I only have two posts planned ahead and I don't really have much inspiration left, so I'm not sure I can keep this blog running. Well, it was pretty much already dead anyways...
However, if you want new content here you could always send asks, that's up to you. Who knows, maybe it could even give me the inspiration and motivation I lack?
