Vinnie grimaced in pain and took off his helmet. Everywhere was dark. It was night.
He went upstairs. His side began to ache again. Although he had to go to his own room, but he stopped to look at Modo's room. The door was open and he saw Modo, even though it was so dark.
Modo was sleeping.
Vinnie tried to be quiet, and went to lie down beside him.
Modo blinked awake when he heard someone moaning.
"Vinnie ..?" Modo was amazed. He put the lamp on. "What are you ..?"
Vinnie was in pain. His eyes were leaking water.
"Hey, hey, take it easy!" Modo took hold of him. "You are in pain .."
"Forced to lie ..", Vinnie muttered.
"It's nothing", Modo rubbed him. "Wait a moment, I'll get the first aid kit, okay."
Vinnie nodded weakly.
Modo soon returned and helped him to a better position. He did not find the wound which he would have been able to clean.
"No bleeding ..", Vinnie gasped. "Side-hurts .."
Modo stared at him. "Idiot! If you assume that I know ..!"
"No, no, I just need to rest a little ..", Vinnie waved his hand. "This is okay .."
Modo gasped. "If you're supposedly fine, why do not you go to your bed?"
"I can go ..", Vinnie opened his eyes weakly. "I should not have come here ..", he weakly tried to get up. "I just.."
But Modo grabbed him and helped him to lie down.
"You do not go anywhere."
Vinnie blinked slightly and looked at Modo. "You … you're glad that I'm alive ..?"
"Of course", Modo gasped. "We all are."
"But you ..", Vinnie grimaced and closed his eyes.
"What? Vinnie?" Modo was amazed.
But Vinnie did not answer him.
"Are you sleeping?" Modo looked at him and sighed. "You're safe", he pulled the blanket over Vinnie. "Do not worry, buddy. You'll be okay soon", he kissed him on the forehead. "Of course i'm glad, you stupid. I love you."
