Day 90 - When the Earth Stood Still

(Story underneath)

Damian had come as soon as he had heard. The glaring white walls seemed to almost taunt him as he rushed to the front desk of the hospital.

"where is he??"

The front-desk administrator was confused at first before Damian clarified who it was he was looking for in a rush. Despite being told he could not see him yet, Damian refused to listen.

"no you don't understand. i need to see him. i NEED to be there for him!"

After being told again that he had to wait for the doctor in charge to let him, he sighed heavily and turned towards the waiting room chairs, but not before facing the administrator again.

"sorry. it's just...he's my everything and...yeah. sorry about that..."

It only took a few minutes of waiting to be given the go-ahead, something Damian could only be grateful for. The doctor in charge of Miles - he'd called himself Dr Marawan - lead him to the room Miles was in, but gave him a warning:

"Be warned. He had suffered a head injury, so he may still be out of it some."

Damian thanked the doctor and rushed to him as safely as he could. From the gentle light filtering through the thin curtains, Damian saw him, sitting upright and looking outside before turning his head.

"Damian...I...--"

"thank fuck you're okay, miles! i nearly died from heartbreak when i heard what happened"

Miles looked at Damian, his amber eyes seeming a little unfocused as he took time to respond. Finally, "I'm sorry, Damian. I think my ears are playing up on me from the accident. I'm just glad my hips aren't in pain right now. They were ridiculously painful before..."

Damian just looks at Miles and laughs a soft laugh. "it's okay, miles," he says slowly, making sure Miles heard every word, "i was just saying i'm so fucking glad you're still here. i don't...i...don't know what..."

Damian's voice cracked with tears, and Miles opened up his arms for an embrace, which Damian leaned straight into. "Don't worry, Damian.

"Together forever...remember?"

#originalcharacters #miles&damian #damian #year 4 #art #writing #I'd wondered what had Miles in a wheelchair when he was older ans why I thought he'd be wearing bigger hearing aids #And earlier today I had the idea of perhaps something had happened.. like a car accident or an illness #(I chose car accident but I don't have details yet heheh) #The main physical effects it had on him was his hips and joints there started to become immensely painful #Which only became worse with wear and age. Eventually he'd need a wheelchair to avoid as much pain as he could #And head trauma that.. while his mind would pretty much be unaffected (aside from a concussion) #his hearing would be affected (I haven't decided on the details of that either) #I may consider other effects of it like recurring migraines.. brain fog.. blood flow issues or something entirely else #But these two big things would come from it. Not until their mid-30s but yeah
