The Freezing Singer <COMPLETED>

Chapter 5

I heard the door open. "Okay, Mitch, you're gonna have to sit over here so we can do what we need. Sorry." Avi said as he entered. I nodded slowly and got off of him and sat on the chair next to him. I grabbed his hand from under the covers and held it. Avi took off the blankets and placed them in the corner. He went back over to his computer and typed away.

"Hey, Mitch? Can you move his limbs a little so they don't get sore?" Avi asked me without looking at me.

"Sure." I stood up and started with his arms. I moved them a little, being careful not to hurt him. Then I moved his legs up and down. I got an idea.

"Can I give him a massage?" I asked Avi.

"Of course! Need me to help you flip him over?" He asked and turned towards me.

"That'd be great, thanks." Together, we flipped Scott over, and I shifted his arms and legs so he's more comfortable. I turned his head towards me while Avi went towards the door.

"I'm gonna grab a few things so I can test his blood pressure and a few other things. Is that alright?" Avi asked me.

"Go ahead." He left. I started to work on his shoulders, but it didn't work very well, so I straddled his ass. It was much easier to get the right amount of pressure on his shoulders. I'm sure if he could say something, he'd be moaning under my touch. I worked down his back, making sure to get every inch of him.

"I see you're getting down to business." Avi said with a slight chuckle as he entered the room.

"I'm not that strong, and this was the easiest way to do it effectively." I said as I moved down to his lower back. He chuckled.

"I'm gonna take his blood pressure real quick." He said and strapped on an arm band on him. I hate those things. I started on Scott's free arm.

"So, when you started singing, about what time was it?" Avi asked curiously.

"Well, I started singing at around 12:37, and probably was riffing by 12:38. Why'd you ask?" I asked.

"Just curious. So he's gonna wake up, hm." He paused to think. "He's gonna wake up around 12:38 on Saturday." He concluded as he took off the thing on Scott's arm.

"I'm guessing a lot of people are gonna be there?" I said sadly. I was hoping I'd be the only one there so I could do what I want when he wakes...

"Sure, well, I mean. It's his decision, but he can't say anything. So, now it's yours because you're the closest to him. Who would you want to be there when he wakes?" He asked me, genuinely caring about me. I'm gonna have to keep this guy around. Not like that, he's way too old for me. (sorry mavi shippers)

"I'd prefer it to just be me, then others can come. If that's okay." I asked quietly.

"That's perfectly fine, I understand. No worries. I just won't say what time he'd wake, so you can do what ever you want. I think I already know." I couldn't see him, but I heard the smirk in his voice.

"Avi!" My cheeks went red. I went to Scott's other arm.

"Hey, it's true! Right? I won't say anything." He said.

"Yeah." If my face could go any redder.

"Don't be embarrassed, its fine. I mean, if it really is true love, than you deserve to be the first person to be here when he wakes." He did have a point. "Can I ask you something?" He asked.

"Sure." I shuffled so I could do Scott's legs.

"How long have you two known each other?" He asked. I'm not sure if he's doing anything anymore.

"We've known each other since second grade. So about ten years." I said, not really paying attention to anything else other than Scott beneath me.

"Wow. That's a long time. How long have you known you've liked him? If I may ask?" And he's being polite? Can I keep him?

"I've known ever since freshman year. I had a lot of anxiety and he helped me with it. That's when I fell in love with him." I forgot that Scott could hear, but I didn't really care. He deserves to know.

"Aw, that's cute. Well, I hope you two get along pretty well, saying you guys have been friends for this long."

"Best friends." I corrected him.

"Even better." I finished his legs.

"Can you help me flip him back over?" I asked Avi.

"Of course." We flipped him back over and I lightly kissed him on the cheek.

"This is so cute it hurts." Avi commented.

"Shut up Avi." My face went red.

"I'll leave now. Just make sure you're ready to go a few minutes before midnight." He said as he walked toward the door.

"Okay, thanks." Avi closed the door and I lied down next to Scott. I opened his eyes so he could see me. "Do you wanna watch a movie? I have Netflix on my phone." I pulled it out and opened the app. "What do you wanna watch? Oh, wait. Sorry. Um, why don't we watch Frozen again. I know you love that." I tilted his head so he could see my phone. We ended up watching the whole thing, without falling asleep on each other, well, at least I think. I looked at Scott, and his eyes were closed. I swear I opened them. I guess not. I kissed his forehead lightly. "Goodnight Scottie."

"Time to go, Mitch." Avi said quietly. I didn't even know the door opened.

"Alright." I brushed his hair away from his face and got up. I looked back at him once more, then turned off the lights as Avi and I left.

"You guys are really cute together by the way." Avi said, earning a blush from my cheeks.

"Thanks." I hid my face in my hands, trying to suppress the blush and a smile.

"Hey, it's true! I support you two, no matter what." He said and hugged my shoulder lightly.

"Thanks." He had a large smile on his face.

"I can tell you and my sister are pretty close." I nodded. "She's told me about you before, she just never told me your name. She's really excited to start this year again because that means she can spend more time with you, legally." He chuckled slightly.

"Yeah, I'm excited too." I said as we neared the waiting area. I saw my dad standing there. I ran up to him and hugged him as tightly as my scrawny arms would allow.

"I missed you too, son." He hugged back. "I'll see you tomorrow Dr. Kaplan." He said.

"Bye Avi."

"See ya around Mitch!" He waved and went back into a room out of my sight. My dad escorted me out of the hospital, going into the nearly empty parking lot. I got in the car in the back seat.

"You okay there, Mitch?" He asked, concern thick in his voice. He started the car.

"Not really. I just want my Scott back." I said, tears threatening to spill.

"You'll get him back soon. Do you know when?" He asked.

"No." I lied. I know the exact time on Saturday. I smiled.

"Whatcha smiling about?" Shit.

"Well, Kirstie's awake." That wasn't the real reason, but definitely one.

"That's true. I'm guessing you're tired?" He asked me.

"Kinda." I yawned. Great timing. Thanks body.

"Kinda?" He laughed a little bit. "We're almost home anyway." He said as he turned a corner.

"Mitch, come on, time to get to bed honey." My dad said, slightly shaking me awake. I groaned and got out of the car, sloppily standing on my feet. He had to help me stay balanced. The rest of everything was a haze, but all I remember was seeing a nice "goodnight babe" text from Kirstie. That angel. What would I do without her?
