Late at night was always the worst in a place like the hospital. Continuous noises, harsh and mechanical, seemed to amplify in the quiet of the tiny, shared room. Tino shifted and sighed, head turning almost involuntarily to glance at the sleeping man in the bed across the room. Head still wrapped in bandages and face bruised, Antonio shifted in bed, letting out a quiet noise of distress every few minutes. His sleep was restless – it always was when he was in the hospital. The fear of the doctor never left him even in the hold of sleep.

With a small smile and a breath of a sigh, Tino heaved himself out of his own bed and padded over to Toni's. The standard issue chair next to the bed was hard and uncomfortable but sturdy, and the small Finn curled into the seat, watching his best friend under the soft light pouring in through the blinds.

"You're such an idiot, you know that?" Tino began, whispering into the darkness of the room. Toni shifted in his sleep again, brow furrowed, and Tino reached out to smooth his hair to calm him. "I nearly had heart failure when Lovino called me to tell me you were missing. I don't know what I'd do with out you. Honestly. You're the best friend I've ever had, Toni."

With the hand running through his hair, the Spanish man had calmed significantly in his sleep. Soft snores broke the stillness of the room, and Tino smiled. "I'm just glad you're okay. You'll be well soon and back to annoying the living hell out of me."

Tino sat in the chair for a long time, running his hand through Antonio's hair and murmuring, telling his best friend about Berwald coming to visit, his wedding plans, what Toni needed to do as his best man, and anything else he could think of, until the soft light of dawn broke through their window. Bags under his eyes from the late night, Tino stood from the chair and stretched. He quietly made his way back to his own bed, crawled under the blankets and fell asleep, only to wake a few hours later to the soft "good morning" from his roommate… and Tino smiled.
