November made sure not to act oddly around April and July when they showed up to visit him. That was near impossible with Hei absent from the little reunion.

He was in a relationship with the Brit, after all.

April chatted for a bit, but was soon on he way with July in hand. Describing her days since November's incident filled with nothing but 'All those boring things you usually do. Like filling out paperwork and talking to stuffy idiots who think they know what they're doing'.

That earned a chuckle out of the Brit, and he assured April he'd be doing all of that in no time.

With November left alone to his own thoughts, he couldn't stop himself from thinking that he had overstepped his argument with Hei. He had said too much that didn't make the situation any better and he damn well knew that he hurt Hei.

I have to make things right. The Brit thought with determination. He removed the wires and drips attached to his body before he tossed the hospital issued blankets off his person and swung his legs over the edge of the bed. When November went to take his first steps he crumpled to the floor in a heap.

Two weeks of immobility had sapped the strength out of him.

"Damn..." November grumbled, trying to catch his breath as he got over the initial pain of basically smacking into the floor with healing wounds.

While attempting to pick himself up off the floor the blond failed to register the click of his door opening. It would have been a blessing if it had been a nurse or doctor walking in on him, but what he really didn't need in that moment was for Hei to see him making yet another half-baked decision.

"November!" The younger man panicked at the sight of his lover sprawled out on the floor. Hei was immediately at the Brit's side, gingerly helping him back on to his bed.

"What are you trying to do? Give me a heart attack?" Hei scolded as he checked over November's bandages for any signs of bleeding.

"I wanted to go looking for you." Came the Brits immediate response as gripped Hei's wandering hands in order to get his attention.

The younger man stilled immediately, but he couldn't bring himself to make eye contact with November. Hei felt guilty for having outright yelled at the Brit just as he came out of his coma. He knew that November deserved better than that. He saved his life after all.

"Hei, please just listen to me. I'm sorry for what I said. You didn't deserve to hear that after I-"

"November. Don't, I should be the one to apologize. I shouldn't have yelled at you the way I did. No matter how I was feeling what you did for me was... is something that I will always be in you debt for."

"You're not in my debt." November whispered softly as he brought his hands up to tilt Hei's head up, getting a better look at the younger man's face. "It's something I'd do for you if the time were ever to arise."

"Hopefully you won't have to." Hei let out a chuckle that was just a tad glum.

The Brit pulled his partner into a gentle hug. He ignored the dull pain his healing wounds caused him and tried to soothe Hei. The blond could feel just how stressed his lover was.

"I love you, Hei." November said quietly into the crown of the younger man's head, taking in the light scent of his shampoo. In that moment he could feel Hei's stress drain away, leaving his body pliant and relaxed in the Brit's arms.

Lalala happy ending x)
