"Sir… Sir…" A soft voice echoed around his head as continual gentle tapping on his shoulder, letting a small grumble out of his mouth as he wormed down into the chair ever so slightly more. However his eyes were quick to open as he remembered where he was, the first thing that his chocolate brown orbs focused onto was the nurse that jumped as he opened his eyelids terribly fast. "Sorry to wake you but visiting hours are over. You and your daughter have to leave." The lady spoke softly and quietly but loud enough so that Dan could hear her. "No, please I have to stay with him. We have to stay here. I promised them both." They weren't going to tear Dan and Ella away from Phil that easily, hospital or not he was staying there. It took him a moment to realize what the nurse had also said. "Oh, she isn't my daughter, just a… Friend." He admitted as his eyes moved down to the sleeping girl, she was at peace it would be wrong to wake her up now. "Of course you can. There is only one bed though dear, is that alright?" The brown eyed male nodded, it was fine if Ella had to sleep in the same bed as him, they were close enough anyway right? Plus Dan was slim and Ella was only small, there would be more than enough room for the two of them. "Yes, yes that'll be fine."
Soon enough there was a small single bed set up next to Phil's hospital bed, the sounds made Ella stir but not once did she even attempt to open her eyes. However, she deserved a long rest; her day mustn't have been that nice either. Rest, yes that was the best thing to do in a situation like this, just calm down and relax. Before leaving the nurse did ask if they wanted to go and get any positions but they declined the offer not needing anything vital really, she soon left the room. Silence echoed around the walls of the room as the male slowly placed the young girl onto the bed, tucking her in before kissing her forehead like she was his own. As the small girl lay comfortably in bed, Dan moved over to Phil, softly kissing his hand then stroking it affectionately with his thumb. "Night Phil, wake up tomorrow unless I'll poke your sides and tickle you until you do." He smiled softly trying to joke about it but failing as he only felt worse about the whole situation. Slowly and carefully he made his way into the shared bed then wrapping his arm around Ella as she turned to face him, then curled up into his chest.
They slowly drifted off.
