29 - [voice] Hospital time again

[forged_anew]

[There's a bit of silence, with just some quiet rustling for a few seconds, and then a soft sigh before Zuko speaks. He sounds somewhat resigned and really exhausted.]

I'm back. Sorry if I worried anyone. I'm fine.

[Another pause, and a muffled, strained cough. The next part is mumbled kind of quickly and sheepishly]

I... I'm... um, at the hospital. If anyone wanted to know.




Oh... Jackie, and Jackie's friends... Um, thanks.

That charming princely smile of yours. It almost had me swooning.

[Haru just laughs and shakes his head a little.]

[And Zuko's looking away kind of sheepishly, rubbing his side carefully and secretly being glad he and Haru are in the same room despite his earlier reservations about it]

[Haru turns his gaze to the ceiling and yawned a little.]

Getting that off your chest must have taken a lot of energy, maybe you should rest.

[And as soon as Haru says that, of course, he's suddenly exhausted. Zuko blinks at Haru for a moment, before finally speaking in a quietly tired but content tone]

Hey. You going back to your own bed or what?

Yeah, unless you need a bedtime story.

[eyebrow-raise]

Probably not.

[ He just smiles and slides off the bed. He holds his stomach as he walks back to his bed and winces all the way there.]

[A small frown makes its way onto his face again as he watches and he speaks up again softly]

You get some rest too, Haru.

commentloggy~

[moarcowbell.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'll probably get to sleep sooner or later.

[nod]

Okay.

[He shifts, sliding down the pillows and laying on his back, a slight wince disrupting his features for a few moments before it disappeared and he simply stares at the ceiling]

Hey... thanks again. Funny, how we ended up in the same room, huh?

[Yeah, he was thoroughly shocked to wake up in the same room as you, man]

[ Haru gets himself all nestled into his bed. He twirled his finger in the air before replying.]

It was fate.

[Zuko nods, closing his eyes, his voice dropping a bit as he starts to drift off]

Something like that.

Night.

[He laid there for a while while Zuko drifted off to sleep. He wasn't very tired at the moment and often just laid in bed thinking about stuff.]

[forged_anew]

...night.

[Zuko mumbled, breaths evening out. For the first time in a long while, with nothing burdening his mind, he was asleep in seconds, content with the fact Haru was watching his back]
