Always by your side [via bearded-dwarf]
Xephos’ chest slowly rose and fell as he slept, one of the machines attached to him that sat next to his bed loudly beeping with each of beat of his heart. The sunlight filtered into the room through half closed curtains, the early morning light breaking through the shadows remaining from the night.
As the light broke through the shadows around his bed, his fingers twitched slightly, before slowly curling into a ball, un-curling a few seconds later. After a few more seconds, bright blue eyes slowly fluttered open, squinting due to his eyes not being used to the morning sunlight. As his eyes adjusted, his head tilted to the side, a tiny smile appearing on his face as he spotted a ginger puff ball at the side of his bed, snoring loud enough to wake the dead.
”…’Dew?” Xephos’ voice was quiet and somewhat rough from not being used in a while. Figuring he probably shouldn’t try to speak any louder, or possibly risk losing his voice for a bit, he gathered up his strength and reached out, weakly shoving his friends arm in a attempt to wake him up.
