Part 1

Knock, knock, knock.
I swear if it's Sunspear again I'm gonna go insane. I thought to myself as Nurse Volgora opened the door, and I turned to lay on my side.

"Casper! You have a visitor!" She announced in a cheery voice, but I didn't bother to turn and see who it was.

Instead, I simply rolled my eyes and said, "If it's Sunspear tell him I'm asleep." I tried my best to stop myself from scratching at the bandages winding around my arm.

"Uh, hey." A familiar voice floated through the air. Odward? I sat up, looking towards the door with wide eyes to see Oddy standing just in front of the doorway. His arms were crossed with his shoulders resting at his ears, the same pose he used to hit whenever he felt awkward as he slowly walked closer to my bed. Somethings never change... The thought ended on a sigh, forcing me to talk.

"What do you want, Odward?"

"I just, I thought I should check on you, or whateva." He said, avoiding looking at me as he planted his feet.

"I don't want to talk, okay?" I told him, my tone slightly meaner than I had intended it. His jaw tensed. 

"Fine." He huffed, turning to walk away. 

I stopped him, snatching his hand with mine. "Wait!" I said way to abruptly for my liking. "I didn't say leave, idiot." He still refused to look at me as he sat down, his fingers interlocked with mine. I shook my head, crossing my legs as I said, "Can you not sit there?" I gritted my teeth. I hated when people sat there, so far from my eye height. It made me feel so damn weak. Like I was more pathetic than I was hurt. I didn't even understand why I was still in this stupid nurse's office! It was a couple of burns, big deal! That didn't mean I should have to spend my days laying here feeling useless!!

"Well, where else am I supposed to sit, huh?" He asked. Dammit Oddy, just look at me! Please... My mind wanted to yell but instead I nodded towards the end of my stupid bed. He sighed, coming to sit across from me, and somehow still finding every chance to not look at me! I slipped my hand out of his, desperate to claw at the bandages driving me crazy only for him to grab my hand and yank it towards him. 

"Don't." He told me, staring at my hand. "According to you, I may be stupid, but I'm smart enough to know you're not supposed to scratch at scars, let alone ones that are still healing." My jaw dropped ever so slightly as I kept my gaze on him. 

"I don't think your stupid." I breathed out, and he did it. He actually did it. He looked at me. He looked at me with the widest, prettiest eyes I'd ever seen, sending red heat crawling across both of cheeks. He looked at me, and I wanted to apologise, I wanted to grab him and hug him, I wanted him to keep looking at me.

"Awwww." My thoughts were interrupted by Falco's mocking from the other side of the room. I inhaled a deep breath. 

"Falco, I swear I will kill you!" I spat.

"Can I help?" Odward drew my attention back to him. His eyes were narrowed as he glared at Falco, looking just as pissed with him as I was. And damn, did it make me smile. 

"What?" He looked back at me, leaving me biting the inside of my cheek, trying to stop myself from absolutely beaming at him. 

"Nothing." I shrugged. He shook his head with a chuckle. 

Gees, I'd missed him.
