Walter POV on the episode where Cabe was near death and they froze him and all that. They go to the hospital afterwards and…

Lovey Dovey Things

I sat down and the chair seemed to groan.

It felt as though I was wearing a lead suit that pressing on my chest. It had its grip around my shoulders and wrapped around my chest, giving me no room to move. I focused on my fingers, tightly pressed together.

My brain has always liked to shout at me. Thousands of facts and equations and theories are constantly filling my mind with noise. But after all that happened today with Cabe... everything went mute. I couldn't think about anything, I couldn't process anything. What's happening to me?

Then I heard a single clear voice echoing throughout me, "You must be a terrible human being."

I can't say I disagreed. Cabe, the man that cared so much about me, I could barley even save today. My team is disappointed in me, I know for sure that Paige is. I've killed more innocent people as a teenager then inmates currently in jail. I must be a terrible human being.

"Walter..." I looked up eagerly; I could finally take a breath.

Cabe weakly turned his head towards me, "thank you..."

I stood up and waved my hands, "Oh, no the team saved you, I didn't do much."

Cabe smirked. And I immediately thought about how subtle it was. If I weren't studying his face so closely I would have missed it.

His words came out to be barely a whisper, "No not for saving me, that I had no doubt. But for being here ya know?"

I bit my lip and averted my eyes, my tendency was to say nothing or just say something emotionless, meaningless. I braced myself.

"I didn't want you to die!" I exclaimed a bit too loud. I looked down, "I love you."

Cabe's eyes widened and then he grinned widely, "I love you too. Don't worry. I don't expect you to say lovely dovey things me, and, to be honest, I like it that way," he rasped playfully, "but you gotta work on that with Paige."

I sat back down, the lead vest seemed to loosen a bit, but I could now feel its effects on my energy levels, "yeah I'm working on it."

There was a light knock at the door. Cabe raised his eyebrows, "I think I know who it is..." The door opened and Paige stood in the doorway for a moment, like she was taking in the scenery,

"Cabe! You're finally awake." She made her way to the bed and squeezed his hand briefly, "I'm sorry I can't stay, but I'll see you soon ok?"

Cabe nodded sleepily.

Paige walked behind Walters chair and placed her hand in his shoulder and the lead suit cracked.

"Maybe we should let him sleep," she whispered into his ear. And the lead suit crumbled to the floor.

"o.k."

This is probably a bit OOC for walter but I love to write him with feelings, Even though he claims he has none. (its BS)

REVIEW AND KEEP SHIPING FOR WAIGE EVEN THOUGH I KINDA HATE THEM RN
