“Come back.” He whined, letting his body go limp again. It was so much easier not to move. He slow caught his breath, trying to relieve the pain without Dove noticing.

"How could I say no?" she sat back down, avoiding Oliver's body parts.
He grinned weakly, letting his eyelids flutter shut for a few moments. “Thanks for staying with me.”
She smiled, brushing back her pink hair, "Yeah. Thanks for giving me a heart attack."
“I’m sorry.” He reached out and squeezed her hand lightly. “Help me sit up?”
"Sure, sure, yeah." Dove reached over and held onto him, freaking out internally.
Oliver winced in pain, his breathing getting shallow. He bit down so hard on his lip that it began to bleed. “J-Just prop up the pillows behind me. So I can sit up.” His voice shook.
She grabbed some pillows and put them behind Oliver, biting her lip to make sure she wouldn't freak out somewhere other than her head.
“Thanks.” Oliver let out a sigh of relief as he let himself relax again. Despite the medication, he was still in a lot of pain.
She leaned over and pressed a kiss to Oliver's cheek before her brain could react to her heart's decision. "Get well soon."
The heart monitor went beserk again, making Oliver flush a deep red. “I… uh-I.” He stammered, his brain felt like it was short circuiting.
Dove drew in a breath, "I-um-I mean.."
Oliver reached out and pressed the clicker with an almost dopey smile on his face.
His smile was a comfort to Dove and she managed a smile as well, trying to calm her beating heart.
“You know, it’s kinda sad to realize you’re the only person who showed up aftervwhta happened. And I’ve only known you for a little while.” Oliver sighed, staring up at the ceiling. “I know my family’s far away, but I thought I’d made some friends here. Guess not.”
(I would have Natalie run in, but I rlly don't want to interrupt this……………………..)
"I-I don't think they know yet." Dove stroked Oliver's hair, "They're pretty busy too."
Oliver shut his eyes, leaning calmly into Dove’s comforting touch. “I hope you’re right.” He murmured quietly.
"I always am." she smiled.
“That doesn’t surprise me at all.” Oliver cracked open his green eyes to get a better look at the girl in front of him, his cheeks turning a rosey pink.
Dove imagined that if she had a heart rate monitor, it would be broken by now.
“Tell me about yourself. I’m gonna be stuck here for awhile anyways.” Oliver grinned weakly.
She was taken aback, "What do I tell you?"
“Anything you want.” Oliver closed his eyes again, but held Dove’s hand still, rubbing circles on her palm with his thumb.
"I like chocolate. A lot. It reminds me of Remus Lupin and how he used chocolate as a comfort for dementors. I always kind of felt like my depression was a dementor." she blew her hair away from her face, "I didn't even eat chocolate until last year because I wouldn't let myself eat anything. I forgot what bread even tastes like."
