Leslie and Sparrow held hands and spun around in the rain, ignoring their wet clothes and hair.
Sparrow just wanted to forget everything, she wanted to know what was outside of the hospital she spent her life in, she wanted to know why her parents abandoned her.
For now she was content with dancing in the rain.
Leslie let go and lifted his head up towards the sky, letting the droplets glitter his face. Sparrow continued to slowly spin around in the rain, her bare feet making splashes everywhere.
Suddenly a Leslie wrapped themselves around Sparrows waist, making it awkward for her to be able to hug him back so she just rested her hands on his back.
Lifting up with his arms still resting on her waist he gave her a kind smile, making Sparrow wonder why he was acting this way,"will you protect me Sparrow?" He asked, leaning in and nuzzling her neck. It was the first time he called her by her proper name.
She desperately wanted to say yes, of course she would protect him, but once again her voice failed her. Wrapping her arms more tightly around him and kissing his hair they stood in the rain for what seemed like an eternity.
"Sparrow! Leslie!" One of the nurses called out, causing them to part from their embrace,"come inside before you two catch a cold" the nurse, who Sparrow knew to be Julia, she was one of the few staff who actually did their job around the hospital.
Leslie giggled before taking Sparrows hand and leading them inside where the nurse continues to towel dry their hair and give them a change of hospital clothing.
The two didn't go about their usual routine that day, instead they ran around the hospital together and played hide and seek. Avoiding the doctors most of the time, Leslie knew something bad was coming, and whilst Sparrow was keeping him happy all the time Leslie wanted to do the same for her.
Knocking on the door, Sparrow put her hands behind her back and watched her feet as she nervously waited for him to open the door. When the door did open Ruvik smiled and stepped aside to let Sparrow in.
"How are you?" He asked her, getting a nod in return.
She sat on his bed and frowned when she noticed the room was much barer than previous visits.
"Yes the room is a little bare, tomorrow I'll be carrying about my research in my own home" Ruvik explained, making Sparrow turn to him with a pouting face, making Ruvik chuckle.
"Jimenez has noticed me becoming, different, the more time I spend here, he has noticed that I spend up to a week at a time here, and he doesn't like it"
She gestures to him and then around the room but he gives her an odd expression. Oh the limitations of communication when you're mute.
She then tries again but gestures to him, then mimics the motion of money rubbing together before gesturing to the whole room.
"Yes, yes I am giving donations to the hospital but let's just say Jimenez has a trick up his sleeve and my research could stop if he reveals my research to the world and what I've been doing"
Sparrow frowned.
"Don't worry, I will be back now and then I hope, but not as frequent as I've been doing now" he explains, looking down at his bandaged hands.
Sparrow boldly walks up to him and puts a hand against his cheek, making him look up at her.
"You're probably the only sane person in this mad hospital" Ruvik whispered, "and when I say hospital I mean the patients, staff, and me"
She didn't exactly know what he meant by that but smiled at him anyway. That's one of the things he liked about her, if she didn't understand something she would stick with him nether the less. His obsession with her started when a little girl wasn't afraid of the scars or marks on him, when the other children ran away in fear she stayed.
Maybe it's a rebound from Laura? A part of him needing the love that only a quarter of his life got.
Maybe. But he didn't care.
Without thinking he leant forward and collided his lips with hers. The texture of her soft silky lips enticed him to make the kiss deeper. The startled Sparrow wasn't even sure how to react, she had never been taught about intimate contact, heck she didn't even know half about her own body let alone what to do with it. What she did know is the electrifying feeling she got throughout her body when her lips connected with Ruvik's, and that she wanted more but was frightened at the same time.
Ruvik grabbed her arms and lifted them so that they circled his neck and he wrapped his around her waist. His rough burnt lips moulded into her unmoving ones.
"Kiss me" Ruvik breathed against her lips, staring half lidded into her surprised eyes, she mouthed ' I don't know' her innocence made him smile, knowing no other man had touched her or kissed her the way he was about too.
"Move your lips against mine" he instructed before leaning in, this time more gently he connected his lips with hers and she did as he said, a bit sloppy at first but she followed his movements.
Sparrow was so confused, she didn't know anything about the feelings she was developing for this man. She felt his hands start to move from her waist down to her small bottom, causing her to stiffen in turn. Sensing this he ends the kiss and stares into her eyes before chuckling.
"I keep forgetting you're so inexperienced with human contact" he leans his forehead against hers,"would you like me to change that?"
Sparrow held her breath before nervously nodding, she wanted more of whatever he was willing to give. Ruvik smirked at this and leaned in to kiss her cheek, making her hold her breath again and stiffen, if it was any other person he would have claimed her for himself, but he leaned away and restrained himself. She wasn't ready, and the only sane part of his mind allowed him to gain some humanity and wait for her.
"Maybe another time" Ruvik smiled at her confused face but didn't miss how she immediately relaxed,"you better get back to your room, it's way past your bedtime" he jokingly said causing her to poke her tongue out at him. Once she was gone he gritted his teeth together and slammed his fist against the wall.
"What's happening to me?" He whispered harshly.
The next day Sparrow found herself touching her lips at the memory from the night before, she had never experienced such intimacy and she didn't know what to do from then on. Once they were let out of their cells to wander around Sparrow headed for Ruvik's room, but once she got there the door was slightly ajar, putting her palm on the door and swinging it open with a haunting creek, the room was empty, walking into the middle of the empty room save for a bed and desk, she pondered as to why he didn't say goodbye.
"He's gone Sparrow" Jimenez stepped in the doorway behind her making her turn around, " and be won't be coming back, that's all you need to know " Jimenez smirked before walking away.
What did he mean by that? Sparrow thought to herself.
5 years later
Jimenez was right about Ruvik, she hadn't seen him ever since their moment in his room, now being 25 she was desperate to learn about his disappearance, but it wasn't like she's make a great detective, after all you need a voice box to ask questions and hers was missing.
She missed him terribly, she also got her key taken off of her by Jimenez shortly after stating it was Ruvik's.
"You miss Ruvik don't you?" Jimenez's voice startled her as she got up from her bed and started at his figure hovering outside his door,"would you like to see him again?"
Sparrow cocked her head to the side, what did he mean? Was he in the hospital this whole time? She nodded eagerly and with a smirk he opened the door. But immediately stepped backwards as she saw two big men dressed in white doctors outfit step into her room.
"Don't struggle"he said as the two men invaded her space and gripped her arms, pulling her forcefully along behind Jimenez who strides down the hallway.
She pushed against the floor with her feet and even tried kicking the people who had a hold of her but it was no use, they were too strong for her.
Entering a totally different part of the hospital she didn't know even existed. The large circle room was extremely bright, nearly blinding her, it was very clean as well. All around this large tube were bath tub like chairs and a thin wire where the head rests, a large amount of wires leading to the ceiling and then connected to this long glass tube, and inside it was some sort of brain.
"We even have one especially for you" Jimenez said with a cocky tone then pointed to the brain in the tube,"there's your precious Ruvik"
Sparrow had wished that she'd never even looked at the brain, because seeing a label saying Ruvik brought her world crashing down. The whole puzzle fixing together, where Ruvik has been for the past five years.
"AAAAHHHHH" she started to scream and grip her head. Her throat aching from being used suddenly but she ignored the pain as tears started to pour out of her eyes. With some unknown strength she shoved the two men to the side and bolted for the door but was stopped by other doctors who were in the room, in her rage she bit one of them on the arm that tried to grab her, even through the clothing she could feel the blood slip into her mouth. Yet again she was yanked away and suddenly felt a sharp stinging pain in her neck before falling to the floor and blacking out.
