"…will…okay?"
"…condition…"
…Voices…?
I felt myself slowly regaining consciousness.
"We will keep him under observation. He should heal within a few weeks."
"…Thank you, Mr. Happy."
The sound of footsteps slowly faded away. I opened my eyes slowly.
…Where am I?
My eyes adjusted to the light, and I could see where I was. The walls and ceiling were white. It felt as if this place was familiar…
I clenched my fists slightly and felt a soft material underneath my fingers. It was some sort of cloth, but I didn't need to look down to see that I was on a bed. I tilted my head slightly to the left. Someone was sitting at my side, covering their eyes. The person had a hat on their head, and their body was orange.
"…Mr. Tickle…?"
He quickly looked up, surprised.
"Mr. Bump, you're awake!"
I nodded slightly. Mr. Tickle smiled.
"That's great!"
I smiled weakly.
"Yeah…"
There was a short pause.
"I think you could use a tickle…"
My eyes widened.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
His arms stretched and his fingers wiggled. As soon as his fingers made contact with my body, I gasped.
Gah! No! Stop!
A sudden surge of pain shot through me. Mr. Tickle's tickling didn't tickle. Instead, it caused immense pain to race through my body.
My eyes closed tightly and I clenched the sheets of the bed. All I could feel was wave after wave of intense pain.
Suddenly, the pain became a dull ache. I opened my eyes to see Mr. Tickle looking frightened and concerned.
"Mr. Bump, are you okay? Say something!"
I realized that I was panting. I tried to take deep breaths, calming down.
"Mr. Bump…I…I didn't realize…"
"I…I'm fine…"
There was a long pause.
"Mr. Tickle…out of curiosity…why did you come to visit me?"
Mr. Tickle frowned.
"Well, you're always getting hurt…Nobody seems to notice how much pain you go through. I just thought that someone should actually care about you when you get into accidents."
I stared at him, shocked. It was true that nobody seemed to notice the pain that I felt every day.
"You're the most accident prone man in Dillydale…Miss Whoops is pretty accident prone, too, but I haven't seen her get hurt. Miss Calamity is also accident prone, but she does get hurt sometimes…just not as bad as you."
He turned away.
"I'm sorry about making you fall out of the airplane earlier…"
I continued to stare at him.
He…he actually cares…
I reached out the best I could and tapped him on the shoulder.
"I had no idea that you cared about me."
He turned back to look at me, still frowning.
"Well…will you forgive me?"
I smiled.
"Yeah…I forgive you."
His frown instantly turned into a smile.
"Thanks, Mr. Bump…Hey, maybe when you heal, we could do something together."
I laughed a little.
"Sure. You can even give me a tickle afterwards."
He grinned.
"Deal."
