(AN: Involves the ex-boyfriend/tabi mod)
3rd person P.O.V*
It was just hitting sunrise when Daddy and Mommy Dearest finally got back to the manor from finished their self appointed task. As they unlocked and opened the front door they were greeted to the sight of their daughter sleeping on the coach while BF could be seen fast asleep on the floor using a jacket as a blanket and his arms as a pillow. It was only after mommy looked around that it became obvious that their daughter had tried to offer BF one of the blankets and pillows available as a set of two plain black ones sat right next to him and yet they had remained untouched despite the fact that BF seemed slightly uncomfortable and was shivering slightly from the cooler temperature of the manor.
Upon seeing this Mommy Dearest quietly moved towards BF and had carefully maneuvered the pillow under his head and laid the blanket over him who in response had curled himself under it almost immediately leaving only the top if his head exposed. Seeing this Mommy's eyes softened as she patted down his hair a bit as it had become messy while Daddy dearest in the background had done the same for his daughter by adjusting her own pillow and blanket before kissing her forehead then quietly asking if his wife wanted to get a bit more sleep so they didn't wake the two up too early and she had quietly said "yeah" before she went and locked the front door again and followed her husband who had retreated to their own room and soon enough had gone to sleep as well.
The next time anyone woke up was well after the sun rose and that was because BF felt a gentle tap on his shoulder from Gf as she didn't want to accidentally step on him. Obligating her quiet request BF had sat up though in doing so he could immidiatly tell he should of listened to GF the night before and should have slept on the other couch as a dull pain decided to awaken and run down his back though BF had decided to hide it as to not worry GF. The other reason was because he had finally relized the blanket that gf had offered the night before was now around his waist and the same went for gf with her own blanket which told him that her parents had returned at some point in the early morning and had managed not to wake either of them.
Gf seemed to make this realization as well and without even thinking went to the hallway leading to her parents room and listened for anything that may indicate they were preoccupied before she got to the door however, upon listening instead of hearing anything indicating they were busy she instead could hear her dad's breathing was pained which told her that he had gotten hurt from whatever their self appointed task was. Despite all the attempts on Bf's life she did still care for her dad deep down and could feel her heart beat a bit faster in concern though she knew her dad would more then likely be ok with a few days of taking an easy. Even knowing this however she did decide to go and grab the extensive care kit that they kept in the manor just in case. She soon brought it back to her parent's room and had left it on the small table right inside their door before quietly shutting their door and leaving them be so they could rest uninterrupted as she didn't know when they would get up.
After she was done checking on her parents she had started making her way back to BF and saw that he was now on his feet and stretching though she didn't enter the room quite yet knowing from expirence that BF will hide when he's hurt which was concerning in itself that he would even have to hide when he's hurt just so he didn't worry those around him. She knew that it may seem rude to spy on BF to see if he was hurting however, after the multiple near death experiences they have gone through BF had gained a very bad habit of hiding when he's hurting or struggling mentally and spying was really the only way she or even Pico when the three hung out could get insight on his well being and jump in to help if needed.
GF's P.O.V*
It seems this time around BF had a sore back from sleeping on the floor as I figured would likely happen though I understood why BF had denied the offer to use the other couch. He had explained that he didn't want to anger my parents namely my dad despite the fact my dad had pretty much accepted that BF wasn't going anywhere at this point and had actually started to slowly accept this especially after the Tabi incident.
Flashback*
It had been sheer luck that my dad had found us that day. I had honestly thought time had slowed down that day as BF had seemed to move in slow motion until I saw his shadow cast over me just before I heard something hard and on fire hit him which had caused him to grunt in pain as I saw his body buckle slightly as a medium sized piece of burning wood had hit his back and fall next to him before everything went back to its actual speed. After BF used a nearby wet towel to extiguish the flame on his shirt I felt BF's shaky arms grab a hold of me after having a coughing fit and held me in a cradled hold before he had started running to the remaining exit completly disregarding his own safety and injuries simply saying that he needed to at least save me even if he didn't make it himself.
Him saying that had made me distraught despite the fact that I had started coughing as well as the flames were starting to engulf the rest of the building though my concern got ten times worse when BF's movements started becoming more sloppy and desperate. His speed was starting to decrease and had started to trip on multiple items as his coughing became more frequent and harsh.
Unfortunately before he could get to the door and outside we had both heard a crack and had looked up just in time before bf came to a skidding stop as a massive piece of wood had blocked the exit. If it hadn't been for bf's quick reflexes he would have been killed by it instantly and it would have severely injured myself. It was soon after his sudden stop that his remaining energy seemed to leave him the moment he went right of the burning banister as he had found a small pocket where air was able to get in before going to his knees and collapsing in front of it.
Soon after he had dropped me next to the air pocket before he placed himself over me to continue guarding against any further debris before he gotten out his phone which thankfully was still working despite the heat in the building and I could see he had been relieved by this fact as he immediately calling emergency services and managed to explain where we were however, as soon as the operator on the other end confirmed emergency vehicles were on the way BF's body had reached its limit. His arms started shaking around me before they buckled causing him to lose all support and in turn exiting the call and fully landing on top of me and passing out.
The moment he fell on me I was full on panicking as his breathing was coming out labored but, quick and his body was a lot hotter then it should be especially compared to his normal. All these factors was enough to make me relize that this could be the last time he opened his eyes if we weren't saved soon . In my desperation I had tried getting him cooled down with a wet towel that was near by and had tried to wake him back up though no matter what I did even going as far as connecting my lips on to his and breathing my air into his mouth to give him a better chance at surviving it was to my absolute horror that he didn't respond to anything I tried. On top of all that I could feel something sticky and wet drip on to my hand and upon looking at my hand I saw that it had been coated in a copious amount of red before then looking at bf it had been revealed to be BF's blood on my hands as I could see his shirt getting stained red at a fast rate.
Upon looking closer through the ever building smoke and flame I could see it was coming from his back and I had to force myself to swallow down the food that was trying to come back up because upon further inspection I could see that BF'S back was in absolute shreds from the burning wood that he had protected me from though I didn't get to stare long before I could hear what sounded like my father's and mother's footfalls in the distance and could hear them calling for me. Upon hearing them I had tried calling out as well so they could find us as I was reminded of just how dire the situation was but, unfortunately despite trying my hardest I couldn't call out loud enough for them to hear me as it was quickly followed by a coughing fit. In a last effort I had managed to find a piece of rubble and tossed it through the hole hoping my parents heard it. Thankfully it had hit something metal and soon enough I could hear my parents call my name in almost a questioning tone before I heard them running towards our direction. While they ran towards our location behind me I could hear emergency vehicles pulling into the front though both sounds soon faded away as I soon succumbed to the smoke as well and had passed out holding BF'S hand just as I heard a muffled male voice and the sound of a nearby window breaking.
The next time I woke I could feel a mask over my face supplying oxygen before I sensed my dad next to me and could tell he was sitting rather scrunched up with his hand holding mine and then finally realizing I was in an ambulance. It was only after I was aware enough to look around that I could tell BF wasn't with me and immediately tried sitting up only to feel a paramedic and my father both lay me back down as the paramedic had told me that BF had been placed in a separate ambulance as he was in bad shape though they wouldn't know just how bad he was till they had gotten him to the hospital. My father on the other hand had a mixed look though had told me that he was proud of BF for protecting me and to my surprise had admitted that he hoped BF would be okay and that he himself would try to be more accepting like my mother was. Long story short by some miracle bf had only came out with a wrapped up back so the cuts could heal though BF had been informed that the cuts would leave scars behind and that he needed to wear a brace for a couple months to assist in the healing of his back though he had been warned that he would likely suffer from lasting pain for the rest of his life.
When the doctors got around to tell me about BF's condition I had felt terrible that while I had only came out with only a couple of scratches and a sore throat BF had came out with a massive scar along his back that was made up of multiple crisscrossing lines from where the wood hit and even to this day despite BF reassuring me he'd be ok it didn't change the fact that he now had to deal with debilitating back pain on particularly bad days for likely the rest of his life which literally forces BF to do light activity or stay down the whole day even with pain medicine.
Flashback ends*
Upon getting out of my thoughts and back to the present I relized that I was back in the living room where bf had already picked up and folded the blankets on the couch and was in the process of grabbing the ones on the floor though I could see in his eyes that he was in pain and had picked up the blanket and pillow instead so he didn't hurt himself more following his lead and folded those up too. BF had thanked me before then apologizing which I had reassured him wasn't needed as I didn't mind helping him when it was needed especially with everything he's gone through just to keep me safe and with that I had kissed him gently which he returned before we went to make breakfast.
