Penny didn't last long in the completely conscious world before slipping into a morphine-induced sleep, eyes finally sliding and staying shut for an extended period of time.
When she awoke, her eyes focused in on a couple of things, first they settled on her dejected looking, cut-off pantleg. She swore, and stared at the wrappings around her ankle, before finally settling on a small care package of painkillers, antibiotics, and crutches placed at the end of her bed.
Flix had done all this.
And she didn't even have a chance to thank him.
Her hand covered her mouth and she sat there quietly on the own for a minute, before tears started streaming down her face. He had been so kind as to take her to the doctor, listen to her intoxicated ramblings, and all he did for her was help her out. No strings attached.
It made her realize - she wanted strings attached. No one had ever treated her this way. She was always the one to do these kinds of things. He was absolutely amazing, and she wanted more of that, with the added bonus of knowing that she was the only one.
"Shit." She rubbed at her eyes, trying to keep herself from sobbing, but soon she was a wet sloppy mess. Bruce trotted over to the bed and climbed up on top of it, putting his head in her lap in a consoling way. Flix had even let her companion out of his pokeball for her. She sobbed harder.
She had fallen in love with her partner, and it fucking hurt to know that he probably only saw her as a friend. coded by pinn @ thq
