When Doctor Elizabeth came back in the room, she had a grim look on her face. "We're ready for you, Toris." She said. Toris nodded and got up from his seat. For the first time that night, Doctor Elizabeth glanced at Feliks. "Would you like to come with...sir?" she asked Feliks hesitantly. The blonde nodded and slowly got up from the chair he was sitting on. Toris glared at Feliks when he followed them through the narrow hallways. He lagged behind until her fell in step with the blonde.

"You could have just waited." Toris whispered gruffly. Feliks huffed in reply, but didn't answer. Then, Doctor Elizabeth took a sharp turn into a small, dark room with a big machine. She told Toris to lay down on the X-ray machine, then went over to a monitor. "Does this hurt?" Toris asked wearily.

Doctor Elizabeth laughed and shook her head. "Nope! All it does it scan your body, and takes pictures of your bones. Absolutely pain free." she reassured and pressed something, earning a click from the machine. A blue light scanned Toris's body slowly, then images began popping up on a monitor. "You may get up now, Toris." Doctor Elizabeth said as she carefully looked at the images. Toris nodded, then carefully sat up and got off the machine.

"What's wrong with me?" Toris asked Doctor Elizabeth impatiently.

"Well, Toris. It looks like there is something wrong with your back, so we'll have to do another x-ray to confirm if something's wrong. Other than that, your bones seem fine." she said and sighed. Then turned to Toris. "Alright. Let's get you back on the machine."

"A fuckin' back brace." Toris growled as he and Feliks stepped out of the hospital.

"Come on, it's not that bad, you big baby." Feliks said and got into his car.

"And I have to go back in a month for a check up!" Toris added to himself as he slowly got into a car. "Back braces suck."

"Just get in the car, grandpa!" Feliks snapped at Toris. Who glared at Feliks in reply, he flipped him off then slowly sat onto the plush seat. "So, where do I take you? Back to the orphanage?" he asked as he swerved through traffic.

"No way, I can't go back there. Just...drop me off at a poor house or something." Toris muttered and stared out the window.

"No way, man! You could stay at my place!" Feliks offered. "I mean, only if you want to." he added quickly after. Toris turned his head to glance at the Pole. He gave him a questioning look.

"Why would you want me at your house? I mean, I was looking through your stuff." Toris asked gruffly.

"Psha, Toris. That's all behind us, now. You got beat up, so now I'm good. Anyways, if you need money, all you have to do is ask." Feliks said, never taking his eyes off of the road.

"If I were you I wouldn't let me go back to your house." Toris said.

"Well, I'm not you." Feliks dismissed the conversation and kept driving. Toris sighed in defeat and looked out the window again. It was awhile before Toris finally agreed.

"Fine. Whatever."

"Welcome home, roomie!" Feliks exclaimed as Toris walked through the front door. Toris gave a sarcastic 'yay' as he climbed the stairs.

"I won't be staying in your room, right?" Toris asked. He hated sharing rooms, Raivis and Eduard were always so annoying.

"Pfft, no way. You'll stay in the room across from mine." Feliks said and opened the door to a tidy room. The bed was on the far side of the room, by the window. There was a desk neatly tucked in a corner, and a few chairs scattered around. Toris made a beeline towards the desk and put his flat cap and picture on it. Feliks turned to leave when Toris coughed from behind him. He looked expectantly over his shoulder at the Lithuanian. "Yeah?"

"I'd just thought I'd say...erm...um...thanks?" Toris asked. He sounded as if he didn't know how to apologize. He glared at Feliks expectantly, like as if he was saying 'well?'.

"You're welcome." Feliks said with a smile, while Toris just grunted and tossed his flat cap to him. Feliks caught it, then made a face. "What do you want me to do with this?" he asked and held it away from him like it was a dead animal or something.

"Wash it." Toris replied and sat in a chair.

"Why don't you do it?" Feliks growled. Who was this guy, making him wash his stupid hat? Toris sneered at Feliks as he closed his eyes.

"I'm a cripple." he said simply, then made a gesture with his hand. "If you won't do it. Then get one of your three thousand servants to do it." he added and sighed in content. The chair was pretty comfy and Toris decided to pretend he was sleeping so the blonde would finally give up and leave. And it worked. Feliks started to say something, but growled instead and shut the door as he left the room. Toris opened one eye to make sure he was really gone, then laughed to himself. This injury wasn't so bad after all.

Then he remembered the money, that was five thousand fucking dollars that some bastard stole. Probably Ivan, than son of a bitch. He could've gone back to Lithuania, started a life, and everything would have been better! He made a promise to himself, as soon as he was better, he would leave and get a job. He was ready to be independent, and not someone who mooches off other people. But, he'd still probably swipe some stuff here and there. Just to make the cash come in faster.

Toris decided that that was enough thinking, it made his brain hurt. So, he walked over to the bed and collapsed on the soft mattress. The day's events had worn him out, so he was out as soon as his head hit the pillow.
