"No, he still hasn't woken up." Chris sighed into his phone.
"Maybe you should just go home." Ashley said.
At that moment Darren moved his head to the left. He let out a growl.
"You don't know when he's gonna wake up. It might take-" Ashley started, but Chris cut her off.
"Ashley, shut up!" Chris yelled at her and ran over to the bed Darren was in.
"Chris, I know you don't want to hear about it, but you have to stay realistic."
"No, he's waking up!" Chris squealed.
"He will, but no one knows when." Ashley tried to calm him down.
"No, he's waking up right now!" Chris explained. "I've got to get a nurse! Bye Ash!" Chris hung up without waiting for a response.
"Is eventing okey here? I heard someone screaming." A nurse said when she came in.
"He- he moved!" Chris said, standing next to the bed. His arms hanging useless beside his body.
"Okey, I'll get the doctor." The nurse said and walked out of the door.
Chris looked after her until she was out of sight. He looked down and realized just then Darren had opened his eyes. He was starring into them. The hazel was more shiny than usual. Darren was holding back treats.
Chris couldn't bring himself to say anything. He just didn't know what to say. He knew what he wanted to say. He wanted to tell Darren that he loved him. But he couldn't.
Darren had a bandage around his head. His curls pressed against his for head. His face was covered in bruises and some dried blood. But somehow the man lying in the hospital bed still managed to look breathtakingly beautiful. Darren was magical.
That was when Darren broke the spell by saying one single word.
"Kurt?" His voice was small and raspy.
