Chapter 5
The next day Around three in the evening Ash went back to the hospital with a large duffle bag in hand. However this time Ash dressed herself up a bit for the occasion, wearing a few red bows in her quills, a tight fitting red skull cardigan with more quills coating it, black leather a-line skirt, black fishnet stockings, and red high top vans. Ash also brought Johnny nice clothes to change into, wanting him to feel good about himself after being stuck in ugly hospital gowns for the past week and a half. The teen was beyond ecstatic, she was finally going to bring Johnny home with her. It was a rather nice, safe, and stable place for him to stay at for a while. Ash really hoped the young gorilla was going to like it there.
Trotting past the hospital pharmacy store Ash stopped for a moment turning back remembering Johnny couldn't walk. His hip was still very broken, he was very weak from the drugs, and the stab wounds could rip the stitches easily with one wrong move. Ash shrugged her shoulders deciding to making a quick pit stop to the little hospital store. Ash had ten minutes to spare. She purchased a nice black wheel chair, a pair of crutches, and pain killers. It would help Johnny to get around easier until he was stable enough to walk. Ash also picked out some balloons and a cute soft stuffed puppy with different colored patches on it. She wanted to do something nice as Johnny did not receive anything during his stay at the hospital. The teen knew Johnny would also get a kick out of the puppy, understanding the inside joke that came with it.
Ash finished up with the purchases and used the elevator straight up to Johnnies room on the third floor. When Ash Finally went into the Johnnies room, she was shocked to see that Johnny was half naked. He had just gotten out of the shower. Johnny was sitting up comfortably on his bed drying himself off with a small white towel while another one was wrapped securely around his waist. His wet jet black fur sparkled in the lamps lighting making Ash gasp out. Johnnies back side was so toned and muscular, catching Ash off guard.
"Ahhh wow...gosh... Hi Johnny..." Ash stuttered out all flustered while she pushed the wheel chair and goodies to the corner of the room near the door.
Johnny jumped at the sound of Ashes voice turning his head around because his back was facing her. " Oh hi Ash.. Sorry if I'm not descent... I just got out of the shower a few minutes ago and the nurses patched me up.." Johnny said with a hardy chuckle.
Ash threw the duffle bag on Johnnies bed." Whatever.. Here.. I brought you some new clothes.. I'm going to wait outside until your done changing..." Ash said sheepishly. Her cheeks were still really red making Johnny laugh at her more.
"Well to tell you the truth I will need your help putting on my jeans, shirt and shoes because I might bust the stitches again if I don't, little Miss Modesty." Johnny teased Ash playfully lifting his brows.
"Shut up Johnny! Gosh I hate you so much right now.. Okay.. Fine. Fine. I will help you once you get your boxers on at least.." Ash got even more flustered turning herself to the wall waiting anxiously for him to finish.
"I'm kidding Ash. You're so sensitive it's hilarious." Johnny commented while he busted up laughing. Johnny proceeded to unzip the duffle bag Ash had brought him. Inside he pulled out a dark red button up flannel, a pair of whitewashed ripped up jeans, red plaid boxers, and black converse high tops. The young gorilla was greatly pleased with Ashes taste in clothing. But personally he didn't like the color Ash had picked out, blue was always his favorite color since he was a kid.
"Thank you Ash for bringing me clothes.. "Johnny said while he put his boxers on quickly without hurting himself to much. Bending down some was sending shock waves of pain to his bandaged hip making him wince some. Before he knew it he was finished putting the boxers on. "okay I'm done."
"It was really no biggie. Can't have you half naked in a hospital gown on the city bus now can we?" Ash said matter-a-factly with sass when she finally turned around walking over to the side of the bed to see Johnny fully.
"Going commando isn't my thing but it could be. I should talk Buster into letting me dress up like the construction worker from YMCA." Johnny said with a laugh. He was actually seriously considering that for his next performance at moon theater.
"Johnny!? Don't you dare go there.." Ash said all flustered. Her next sarcastic remark was instantly replaced with a gaping jaw and gasp when her green eyes landed on Johnnies front half. The young gorilla was officially becoming Ashes fantasy fuel no doubt about it. Johnnies body was beyond sexy and ripped in a hot way. He sported a fine six pack and defined muscles on his arms, chest, and neck. Even his hairy legs were toned up beyond Ashes imagination. It didn't look like it was too much or too little, it was just right.
"Hello? Earth to Ash? Are you okay? You're kinda staring at me. You like what you see? " Johnny said with a raised eyebrow and a knowing smirk. He knew Ash was shocked and practically sizing him up. He rather enjoyed such praise coming from Ashes green eyes. Johnny wasn't used to girls looking at him the way Ash was except for an orangutan nurse who had to change his catheter a week back.
"No! No I wasn't! Agh I really am beginning to! Toooo! Oh forget it you win.. So what if I was?" Ash said with a huff. Her whole entire face was red and sweaty. She was not ready to throw in the towel just yet in their little game.
"Easy Miss Modesty. No need to blow a hole in the bloody wall. If anything I find it rather amusing when you get all red faced." Johnny continued to tease Ash with no bite but only playful flirting. His British accent was growing husky and heavier by the second.
"Just shut up and let me dress you..." Ash growled. She officially lost the battle with Johnny and his smarty pants ego. Ash noticed the change in Johnnies voice and decided not to push it further. The last thing she wanted was to get rejected or do something unholy in the hospital and get caught.
Ash grabbed the flannel shirt placing Johnnies arms in each sleeve carefully as to not hurt him. When the shirt was finally on him the fabric hung down Johnnies torso nicely exposing his chest. Now she had to do the worst part and button up all the little buttons. She was beginning to think bringing a flannel was not the best choice of clothing. Not making eye contact with Johnny Ash used her nimble fingers to do each button one by one with shaky hands.
Johnny watched Ash work on the shirt buttons with an unreadable expression plastered on his face. His imagination was officially running into the gutter from this little act of kindness. The young gorilla wondered what it would actually be like if Ash was undoing the buttons one by one instead of buttoning them up. He thought it would be the hottest thing ever if she purposely made eye contact with lustful green eyes while she did it. Scolding himself, Johnny shifted out of his dirty thoughts, the boxers only covered so much and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of Ash. She then proceeded to help him into his jeans . Johnny started to get all fidgety and his face was tinting pink when Ash started to pull the pants up over his waist.
Ash seemed to notice and she smirked wickedly at Johnny." Who's the red faced one now?" Ash shot back while she buttoned up the jeans and started putting on Johnnies shoes.
"Damn you're good with comebacks. I'll give you that Miss Modesty. You win this round." Johnny said with his hands in a surrendering position. His whole face was turning red.
"Wow you gave up faster then I would have thought. Maybe I should put pants on you more often." Ash winked making making the tables turn on Johnny more. Now she was definitely the one on top of his game.
"Yay You're all dressed! Now I need to get the nurse to sign the discharge papers and then we can leave this hell hole.." Ash said jumping up and down as if she finished a marathon.
"No kidding. This place is probably worse then hell if you ask me. I just want to sign the damn papers already I'm feeling anxious to see the outside world .." Johnny huffed out in frustration. He really wanted to leave the hospital and breath fresh air. If you would call the smells of gasoline, swear and rain water as fresh in the city.
"Oh I almost forgot I got you a wheelchair and some crutches and a little surprise." Ash said with great enthusiasm. She went over to the wheelchair coming back to Johnny with balloons and the stuffed animal puppy giving them to Johnny. "I got these for you because no one brought you anything and no one else knows your here..." Ash spoke softly looking down at the floor.
"Thank you Ash... You really didn't have to do that. I think this is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me..The puppy is really cute.. Hey!?Wait a bloody minute! You picked it because of the nickname isn't it?" Johnny looked up at Ash with a big knowing smile. He remembered the first day she called him that when they were going to sneak him into the recreation room.
"Hehe it was pretty obvious puppy. Especially with the puppy dog pouting.. I swear if you try that shit again at my house I won't hesitate to throw a pillow or stuffed animal at you." Ash threatened with no bite. She only smirked at the thought of hitting Johnny right smack in the face with one of her red fluffy living room pillows.
"Challenge accepted Miss Modesty." Johnny said while hugging his stuffed animal puppy.
"You're going to keep calling me that aren't you?" Ash asked all irritated. She was not taking a liking to the new nickname Johnny just gave her. Even though it was true, she was a modest teenager. She had never seen a naked male body in her life. The teen didn't even let Lance or her past boyfriends get that far as much as they bugged her.
"Yesss I Amm. Especially because it's cute when you get all upset." Johnny sang out with a chuckle. He pushed some of Ashes quills from her face smiling down at her. Johnny felt the sudden strong urge to kiss Ash. The teen looked up at Johnny sweetly.
"Hey love birds. Stop with the gushy stuff already. I have your discharge papers." The lamb nurse snapped with a hove on her hip while the other held a paper and pen.
Ash was beyond seething. The bitchy nurse just had to ruin another possible moment once again. "Thank you very much you bi.." Before Ash could finish Johnny elbowed Ash in the ribs.
"Okay thanks. Just give me the paper to sign so we can go." Johnny said quickly with a small scowl on his facial features.
"Yeah yeah whatever. Just drop it off at the front desk. I have blood glucose levels to check in room B12." The ewe nurse grunted pushing the papers in Ashes hands and leaving the two alone finally.
"Agh that nurse is a bitch.." Ash complained. She helped Johnny into the wheel chair and gave him the papers she took from the nurse.
"Tell me something I don't know.. At least you didn't have to put up with her for a week and a half." Johnny growled. He was reading through the discharge papers and signing them. He really didn't like the nurse. She was rude and nasty. The young gorilla secretly hoped karma took care of it. Johnny was not the kind of animal to purposely hurt others like his father would have in such a situation.
"Done! Let's get out of here." Johnny said with excitement.
Ash compiled wheeling Johnny over to the nurses station to drop off the papers. The two left the hospital and took the city bus sitting next to each other. While they were on the bus some of the other animals shot them dirty or unsure looks. Outer species relationships where looked down upon and that's what most automatically assumed of Ash and Johnny. Even though they weren't even dating to begin with. The two didn't really mind too much as they were still young and didn't understand.
xXx
"Well we finally made it to my little apartment. Hopefully you'll like it and make yourself at home." Ash said with a small timid smile. Realization hit her that she would be sleeping under the same roof as Johnny. She hoped things wouldn't get to awkward as there was only two bedrooms and one bathroom. The walls were paper thin so she would hear everything and so would Johnny. There would be no privacy and no alone time if there was ever a dispute between the two new roommates.
"Thank you Ash.. I'm sure I will. It's Probably a lot better then my place. Everything is more like a man cave." Johnny said. It was truth, everything at Johnnies house was a big mess. His dad never cleaned up after himself or the other gangsters that lived with them from time to time. He found Ashes modest nature about her apartment adorable and innocent.
Unlocking the door Ash walked inside first with Johnny right behind her. Ash turned on the lights revealing a nice little living room with recording equipment, Guitars, modern red furniture, and a big flat screen TV. Across from that was a small hallway with three doors, and a little kitchen that was decorated with guitars.
"Wow you're apartment is beautiful.. And you say you live here by yourself?" Johnny asked in astonishment.
"Yeah my parents died when I was eight. I ended up in foster care until I was fifteen. My aunt Luna "took me in" when the truth was the old snake made a deal with me. She would give me weekly money and my parents inheritance if I stayed out of her life because she's a rich stripper that married a sugar daddy. So I bought the apartment and I've been living here since. Now that I'm taking care of myself just fine Aunt Luna wants nothing else to do with me except a few text message every few months to see if I'm still alive. And Christmas she sends me boxes of well... I don't feel like talking about that." Ash said the last part with a blush. Aunt Luna would send her loads of Victoria Secret and Fredrick's lingerie. It didn't really bother her all that much about her aunts estrangement.
"Wow is she like your only living relative?" Johnny asked. He wanted to get to know Ash a bit better and understand her family life.
"Yes. That I know of. Everyone else died I think. I don't have anymore family and it sucks during the holidays." Ash said with a slight frown. Some days she wished she had more then just an aunt. But one relative was better then none in her opinion.
"Oh I'm sorry Ash... That's horrible.. It probably gets real lonely here huh?"
"Yeah it does... Enough about me... Let me give you a quick tour and then I'll give you another surprise." Ash said with a sheepish smile.
She quickly walked Johnny down the hall opening up the door to the left."This is the bathroom." Ash said. It was a small bathroom decorated in red. The shower and bathtub was a little on the small side in Johnnies opinion.
She opened up the door to the left across from it. "This is the guest room and your room while you're staying here."
Looking around it was a small room with a twin sized bed, mahogany nightstand, dresser, laptop computer on a metal computer desk, and band posters lining the walls.
"Wow you're guest room.. It's really nice... I like the band posters. They fit you." Johnny commented.
"Thanks.. I've been to a few concerts. Here open up the top drawer. Your surprise is in there." Ash said with a small smile.
Johnny did as Ash asked and wheeled himself over the the night stand. He found his cellphone, wallet, house keys, and a few blue shirts inside the drawer."oh my goodness!Thank you so much Ash! This means so much I can't even...How did you get these? Please say you don't go inside my house.." Johnny said worried while he scrolled through his unopened messages on his android phone.
"No that's worse then suicide. I paid Mike to do it and he did. He's small enough to slip in and out without being spotted or noticed. So besides me, you should also be thanking Mike the next time you see him." Ash giggled.
"I definitely will." Johnny said with a genuine grin. He was happy that he had at least little pieces of home with him.
"I'll let you get settled in. While you do that I'll go order us some take out." Ash said skipping down the hall and into the kitchen to use the house phone.
