Yo! Sorry I haven't updated in the last few days, it's been a really crazy week! But I'm going to get back on track with this! Enjoy my new "Cleanse" installment~!

Matthias, Tino, and Emil sat impatiently at the car, wondering why the duo was taking so long. Or, at least, Tino and Emil were. Matthias was simply wondering if it were illegal to do it with a patient in a hospital because he didn't want to pay Lukas's bail if it was. When Berwald and Lukas approached, they all began to laugh. Berwald looked highly unamused while Lukas continued to nurse his bruised arm, staring at the ground. Tino hugged Berwald while Emil checked out Luka's arm, "So, uh…what happened exactly?" Lukas shrugged as they climbed into the car, "I woke him up."

They began to drive, no one questioning Lukas's answer. They knew Berwald all too well, and he did not like to be disturbed during his slumber. Matthias was driving, Emil riding shotgun, and Lukas and Berwald by the windows in the back with Tino between them. Due to his medication and recent awakening, Berwald had trouble remaining awake throughout the car ride. He kept drifting, head falling onto Tino's lap. Tino, not wanting to disturb him any more than he already has been, began running his fingers through the Swede's soft, silky hair. The tall man sighed contently and nuzzled himself into Tin's thighs. Luke's eyes drifted over slyly, squinting as he saw the affectionate touch. He refused, of course, to acknowledge why this angered him, only that it did anger him. He gazed down to the Finnish man's lap and smiled slightly, subconsciously reaching over and ruffling Berwald's locks. He wanted to reach down and kiss Berwald's forehead, but he knew he couldn't with the others around.

Tino pulled his hand away and turned, staring at Lukas with a slight gleam in his eyes. He nodded towards Berwald and smiled, mouthing 'Go on'. Luke's eyes bounced between Berwald, Tino, and the two in the front seat, a questioning look shining in the two blue-purple hues. He, swallowing faintly, slipped his hand into Berwald's hair and chuckled almost inaudibly as Berwald wiggled, moving toward the fingers touching his head. Tino heard his small laugh and giggled as well, rubbing Berwald's side. Berwald sighed once again and the two laughed, Matthias looking in the rear view mirror and smiling proudly at his family.

Everything was going wonderfully…until Berwald made another noise. He whimpered and Matthias nearly stopped the car, "Is he okay? He's not in pain, is he?" Emil turned and stared at Tino and Lukas, Luke's eyes shining with worry. Tino rubbed his back and neck until he turned silent again. They nodded slightly, shrugging. Berwald made another noise, making Matthias pull the car to the side of the road. Emil bit his lip as he unbuckled, turning around in his seat and looking at Berwald, "What if he's hurt? What if he messed up his stiches again?" Norge shook his head, motioning for him to be quiet and calm down. Matthias reached out and rubbed his temples, hoping he was alright. That is, until he began to scream.

He flailed and screamed loudly, making the other boys jump in shock. Tino grabbed his hands and held them while Lukas unbuckled and moved onto the floor, touching his face, "Berwald, come on. Wake up – it's just a dream. You're okay, shh~" Berwald got quiet and gripped the hand on his cheek, crying silently. Luke motioned for Tino to scoot to where he had just been sitting, the man nodding and moving out of the way, helping hold Berwald so he didn't fall. Luke slipped into the middle seat, resting Berwald against him. He rocked him softly, telling him that he was safe now. He flinched and whimpered, Luke keeping his hold tight. The last thing any of them wanted was to have to take Berwald back to the hospital for upsetting one of his wounds. Emil turned back and grabbed Luka's hand, rubbing the top of it with his thumb. The older sibling smiled and nodded, tightening his grip on his little brother's palm.

Berwald got quiet and Matt opened his door, "Hey, Tino, you drive. I'm gonna move back there and keep an eye on Ber." "Matthias, he's alright. We've got our hold on him. You just get us home so we can get him back into bed. He'll be fine." The boys buckled back in, Matthias still staring back unsurely as he slipped the seat belt on. Luke kicked his seat to "encourage" him to continue driving, keeping the hair out of Berwald's face by running his fingers across his cheek. He bent over and kissed Berwald's cheek, not caring that they see his affectionate, sweet side for once. Well, he didn't care BEFORE they started in on him. "Aww~ Norgy's got a crush on Sve~!" Matthias exclaimed from the front seat, yelping in pain as he was kicked brutally in the back.

"I do not have a crush on Berwald. He just needs some love right now. I'd do it for…well, most of you in a heartbeat. Matthias….you'll survive." "Oh, you wound me Baby." "It's all tough love, Sugar." Tino and Emil laughed happily at the talk between the other two, snorting and leaning over at Lukas calling someone "Sugar". Berwald, having woke up to all the touching on his face, listened to their conversation, stiffening slightly at the "flirting" between the two. He became saddened, almost wounded, as he decided that Lukas simply couldn't like him. That he was just being silly thinking Lukas would ever see him in that light. He opted to close his eyes and go back to sleep, not realizing he wouldn't wake up for a long while.

A young woman stared with a small smile on her face as a car full of boys drove past her while she gazed over at her children frolicking on the playground. The sidewalk around her was not very crowded and she smiled as her youngest, her four-year-old boy, ran up and gripped her legs, laughing. She chuckled too but fell from an unknown force. She grabbed her child and held him tight, turning around to face the scene. She covered his eyes and held him close as she stared in horror. That car that had just drove by, the one with the five boys, was now engulfed in flames.

UH OH. Where am I going with this? I don't even know. JUST KIDDING YES I DO! *evil laughter* These kids just can't catch a break, can they?
