3. I've got you

"it's ok Kwazii. it's ok. I've got you." Barnacles whispered softly while rocking him. Kwazii sobbed into his chest. "i'm going to get you out of here." Barnacles said. he waited for a nod from Kwazii before scooping him up. Kwazii wrapped his arms around Barnacles neck and sobbed into his chest. Barnacles carried him past the curious eye's of the staff and random people in the hospital. he missed the worried eye's of their friends as he carried him away. they stared after him. they'd never seen Kwazii so scared, never heard him scream in pure terror, never seen him cry, and all at once was just shocking. Garcia sighed and walked over to them.
"my name is Garcia, I'm Kwazii's doctor. none of you know what happened do you?" Garcia ask. they talked a while and the Octonauts gasp as they were told just how Kwazii'd been attacked. Barnacles sat with Kwazii in his lap on the bed. a nurse talked Barnacles through reattaching the wires. Kwazii was quietly listening to Barnacles heart beat allowing him to hook the wires up. Kwazii whimpered.
"I'm so sorry Kwazii. I didn't mean to pinch your skin!" Barnacles paniced. Kwazii nodded against his chest. the nurse left once everything was hooked up again. Kwazii hadn't pulled his stitches, thankfully, but he had rehurt his braced wrist, which was currently resting in his lap on the stuffed Polar bear. Kwazii'd also taken off the jacket, as he was sweating everywhere from running. Garcia knocked on the door.
"your friends are here. they'd like to speak to you, Barnacles." Garcia said. Barnacles sighed and leaned down to whisper something in Kwazii's ear. at first Kwazii shook his head and clung to him, but Barnacles eventually convinced him. he got up and sat Kwazii down, before walking into the hall to talk to the others.
"why didn't you tell us?" Dashi ask.
"because I didn't even know until I got to the hospital." Barnacles replied. "and then the only thing that was important was making sure Kwazii was ok." Barnacles added.
"oh yeah cause we all know your protective of your little crush." Shellington hissed. Barnacles sighed.
"he's not my crush, we're dating. now listen to me." Barnacles tried. Dashi's eye's flashed.
"how do we know you didn't attack him!" Dashi hissed. Barnacles pulled out a piece of paper.
"this is the description of the guy Kwazii said attacked him. Dashi do you think-" Barnacles tried. Dashi nodded and took the paper.
"just, keep my brother safe please." Dashi said. Barnacles nodded.
"right now thats at the top of my list." Barnacles said.
"can I see him?" Dashi ask.
"I don't think thats a good idea. his blood pressure's through the roof and he really doesn't want you guys to think he's weak." Barnacles said.
"he said that?" Dashi ask hurt. Barnacles nodded.
"thats the reason he was wearing my jacket. he didn't want you guys to see all of his bruises." Barnacles explained.
"we'll do everything we can to hunt him down sir." Dashi saluted and she and Tweak left. Peso went to talk to the staff about Kwazii condidtion. Shellington looked betrayed. Barnacles turned to go back into the room.
"your lying." Shellington said. "Kwazii wouldn't date you." Shellington said. Barnacles sighed.
"I'm not arguing this with you." Barnacles said. he opened the door and walked in. when he tried to close the door Shellington stepped in. "Shellington don't do this. not after the night he's had." Barnacles said. Shellington ignored him and walked up to Kwazii.
"hi Kwazii." Shellington purred. Kwazii froze, the hair on the back of his neck stood up.
"Shellington leave him alone." Barnacles said. Shellington, of course, didn't listen.
"Kwazii, Captain says you two are dating. care to set teh recond straight?" Shellington ask leaning down to Kwazii's ear. he poked him gently.
"stop!" Kwazii screamed launching himself at Barnacles middle. Barnacles wrapped his arms around Kwazii protectively.
"shhh. it's ok love." Barnacles whispered placing a soft kiss into Kwazii's hair. "it's time for you to go Shellington." Barnacles ordered. Shellington looked shocked and hurt, but turned and left quickly. Kwazii quivered in Barnacles arms and the Captain sighed. he picked Kwazii up carefully, careful of the wires, and sat on the bed with him again. Kwazii calmed down after a few minutes but continued to shiver so Barnacles gave him his jacket again. "you can keep that." Barnacles said as Kwazii cuddled into it. Kwazii looked up at him with big innoccently scared eyes.
"b-but this is yer favorite jacket?" Kwazii questioned, his voice cracked and squeaked but neither payed attention to that. Barnacles nodded, his Navy jacket was his favorite, but right now it seemed Kwazii needed it more.
"I know." Barnacles replied with a small smile. "I have other jackets." Barnacles added. Kwazii nuzzled his head up under Barnacles chin. Dashi brought Barnacles his laptop, promising to keep Kwazii's cat safe and fed. once Barnacles got Kwazii calmed down and to sleep, he layd him down and got on his laptop. he logged onto the Octonauts chatroom.

Barnacles quickly set his laptop down and walked over to Kwazii, who was whimpering and whining in his sleep. Barnacles sat down on the bed beside him.
"shhhhh. shhh it's ok love." Barnacles said softly. Kwazii cried out in his sleep.
"n-no. no! stop it! stop! please! lemme go!" Kwazii screamed. he began to flail about and shot up with a scream. instantly Barancles took him into his arms. Kwazii screamed into his chest and sobbed hard.
"it's ok Kwazii. I've got you. your safe." Barnacles cooed. Barnacles climbed up onto the bed once more and pulled Kwazii back into his lap. he rocked him. Kwazii's sobbs slowly faded to sniffling and hiccups. Barnacles could feel his heart shattering, he'd never seen Kwazii so scared, Kwazii'd faced death grusome and painful death and he would laugh. he'd faced sharks to which he beat, challanges many had tried and failed at and had won. he'd nearly had his head taken off and he hadn't even blinked, but this was tearing him apart. Barnacles ear twiched and he looked down. "what?" Barnacles ask softly. Kwazii took a shaky breath.
"wh-when can I go back to the hotel?" Kwazii ask.
"I don't know. I can go ask if you want." Barnacles said. Kwazii quickly shook his head and held him tighter.
"nuh-uh." Kwazii whimpered. Barnacles nodded.
"ok." Barnacles said. he thought a moment. "Dashi checked on Spencer." Barnacles said. Kwazii's ear twitched. "she opened the door and he thought it was you. she said he was very upset when it wasn't you." Barnacles added. Kwazii smiled.
"Reids a good cat." Kwazii said softly. Spencer Reid was a character from a TV Kwazii enjoyed. he'd found the little white and brown Munchkin when he was just a kitten. he was starved and almost dead and Kwaziii wouldn't have it. he'd brought it straight back to the land verison of the Octopod and straight to Peso, who told him that it was just going to die and he should make him comfortable. Kwazii hadn't accepted that and did everything he could to save the kitten and a few months later he was healthy and playfull. that had been a year ago and little Spencer loved Kwazii like there was no tomorrow. "his birthdays comin' up." Kwazii said. Barnacles nodded.
"yup." Barnacles said.
"I'm goin' to get 'im yarn. lots of yarn." Kwazii said. Barnacles smiled.
"I'm sure he'll like that Kwazii." Barnacles said. Kwazii nodded.
"I want to leave." Kwazii said. Barnacles sighed he knew thi was going to come up. Kwazii always left the med bay on the Octopod before he was released.
"I know you do, but these Doctors aren't like Peso. they won't let you leave untill they think your ready." Barnacles replied. Kwazii's ear twitched against Barnacles chin.
"the-they can' force me to stay, c-can they?" Kwazii ask looking up into Barnacles eye's.
"I don't think so, but you should stay untill tomorrow morning that way you've atleast spent the night here." Barnacles said. Kwazii nodded.
"o-ok." Kwazii agreed. "can... can I ask a favor?" Kwazii ask. Barnacles looked down.
"sure." Barnacles said.
"can ye see if Dashi will sneak Reid in?" Kwazii ask. Barnacles laughed and sat him down. he went over to his laptop.
"I'll see what I can do." Barnacles said.
*chatroom*
NavyBear : Dashi, Kwazii has a favor to ask you.
DancingDog : Sure what is it?
NavyBear : He would like to see Spencer.
DancingDog : I'll do what I can.
NavyBear : Thanks Dashi.
DancingDog : No problem Captain.
*off Chatroom*
Barnacles smiled.
"Dashi said she'll try." Barnacles said. Kwazii seemed to brighten up untill he yawned. his eye's snapped open in panic and Barnacles walked over sitting beside him. "come here." Barnacles said. Barnacles layd back and Kwazii curled up against his side. "it's ok love. here cuddle with this ugly ass Polar Bear." Barnacles said handing it to him. Kwazii giggled and took the bear. "go ahead and get some sleep. I'm not going anywhere. I'll protect you." Barnacles whispered. Kwazii whimpered and dug his face into Barnacles chest. "don't worry." Barnacles said softly. Kwazii nodded against him. Barnacles ran a soothing hand down his back and continued even after Kwazii fell asleep. he watched Kwazii sleep and comforted him when he became tense. Barnacles hummed softly and eventually fell asleep. he woke to a knock and Dashi poked her head in. "Dashi?" Barnacles ask. Dashi walked in with a backpack on.
"I got him in. Garcia told me how to do it." Dashi said.
"he's asleep. I'm not waking him." Barnacles whispered. Dashi nodded setting the backpack down carefully. she opened it and pulled Spencer out he meowed up at her.
"shh. Kwazii is asleep. he needs his rest Spence." Dashi said. the cat seemed to understand. Dashi placed him on Barnacles and the cat seemed to size him up. Barnacles moved his arm so Spencer could lay with Kwazii and Spencer seemed to smile. he purred and curled up between the two. at the gentle vibrations Kwazii woke up.
"huh?" Kwazii mumbled. he looked around his eye's settled on Dashi. "D-Dashi? wh-what are ye doin' here so late?" Kwazii ask.
