Sorry I have neglected this fic for a while…I haven't felt particularly angsty and so had no inspiration. You see I write these as my own teenage hormones make me grumpy or sad or happy so I have been kinda relying on them for this one. But yesterday they gave me the most painful headache I have ever had and so naturally poor little Chekov got one too.
Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed and favourited this fic it really boosts my morale :D
I think my heads about to burst and if Hikaru doesn't stop jabbering at me I may just close the bathroom door in his face. It would be rude I know, but he just doesn't understand how painful migraines are! At least I think it's a migraine. Every hint of light causes a searing pain that feels on par to electrocuting my brain. If I shift my head even a tiny bit I swear it might fall off. Oh great Hikaru is coming closer to talk to me.
"Lights to 50%" I hiss in pain as the sudden light stabs my head. I hear him apologise and the lights dim again. I curl up into a tighter ball on my bed and feel the mattress sink as he sits on it. He presses a cool hand to my forehead and tuts. I can almost see him shaking his head even though my eyes are screwed shut against any light. He moves from the bed taking his soothingly cold hand away and heads to the com unit and calls for sickbay. I hear a muted conversation and then Hikaru is back trying to ease me into a sitting position. I hear myself whimper as my head jolts and suddenly I'm stood on shaky legs leaning into Hikaru and clutching my head. He tells me that we are going to sickbay to have doctor McCoy look me over. I mumble something and allow him to help me shuffle to the door.
The corridors are intensely bright and nearly make me cry out but instead I cover my still closed eyes with one hand and feel Hikaru tighten his grip on my arms. His left hand is supporting my left arm whilst his right arm is round my back with the hand holding my elbow. After what feels like hours we are at sick bay and I can feel the doctor's warm rough hands on my skull searching for any damage. I am shuffled forward and feel a biobed pressed against my back. I sit on it and yelp as the movement jars my aching head. Someone makes soothing noises as a scanner whirs past my ears. The doctor tells me I can lie down if I wish and I instantly comply, feeling the cool pillows under my curls. I sigh as the lights are lowered slightly making me realise that I am in one of the little medical rooms separate from the main sickbay. Hikaru is being shooed away but he is protesting.
"'karu go bridge…be 'kay" I mumble into the pillows and McCoy echoes me probably pushing Hikaru from the room. I hiss as a hypo needle punctures my neck but almost instantly the throbbing in my skull lowers and I can crack my eyes open enough to see the doctor peering at me. He is sat on a chair by the bed reading the results exasperated.
"Right, kid. It's nothing to panic over just your hormones taking a lunge forward making that big ol' brain of yours ache a bit." I try nodding my head and wince as it hurts but not as badly as when I awoke. Doctor McCoy smiles and pats my back before leaving the room. I hate hormones.
