This drabble is for Lady-Frisselle who requested a theme based of the aftermath of Lee's surgery. I hope you enjoy it!
Drabble Six: Surgery
Neji's POV
The doctors had said that Lee would have a full recovery after his surgery, but I had never seen the boy look worse. He looked fragile and weak and all of those other horrible things I had always called him. It hurt to see my words come true.
I wanted to be able to hold him and tell him everything would be ok. All I could do was take his hand in mine and try to not jar his body in any way. He knew what I was trying to say, and he would try and smile for me. He was always trying to be strong for everyone else.
"I'm here for you now, Lee."
He couldn't smile when I said that, but he let himself cry and I understood.
We would get through this.
