A painful predicament
Miko got off the bed and knelt down beside his pillow. He felt kind of bad from shoving the nurses out the way but it was their fault for being in his way! They could've moved out the way rather than stopping the child, which was clearly a made mistake. But they didn't matter. Rowan mattered, not the completely healthy nurses that got in the way.
The Gryffindor had said he thought he was going to be the dramatic one in the relationship, as if. "Yeah, as if Rowan. I do apologize for the loud intrusion I was just worried out of my mind when I got the owl." The boy replied, staying in a quiet voice. After the worry came anger, loads of it too. Whoever did this to the other would pay, here came the hotheadedness of Miko. "Who did this to you?" The young Hufflepuff growled the words in a threatening manner, he was agitated.
They better sleep with one eye open.
The sheer rage coming from his head would at least give three broken bones.
Who needed their wand when they have physical strength, right?
Now who would need to be in the hospital wing?!
A nurse came to the bed they were at and told Miko the injuries. Five broken ribs?! A burn! The poor child! He was about to reply when a flick came to his forehead. "I'm sorry! And me, worried? Pffffttttt as if." He tried to play it off cool as not to seem clingy or something but he was never a good liar unless he was devoted to the lie. The Hufflepuff felt kind of bad for his rude behavior and smiled sheepishly towards the nurse and Rowan. Normally he was a gentlemen but now that completely changed, especially whenever he finds out who did this. They would feel the fire of a thousand suns, the bite of a badger and the roar of the lion.

A painful predicament
“Guess I’ll just have to fight you for that title then.”
In all honesty, Rowan looked to be death incarnated. Pale skin and hair, sharp, malnourished face, shadows under his eyes, the even paler eyes to match, the fact that he just overall looked malnourished as well- the bruises that contrasted heavily- it was not a good picture overall. And without his flower crown, there was no splash of color to offset the look. Usually the pale skin leaned towards a fair, fae like complexion with the flower crown and his ever so slightly pointed ears. But now it was almost vampiric without it. Although at least he was healing.
“You think you are the first one to ask that question, mon amour? I assure you, It is not anyone’s fault but mine. But se la ví. It was not an attack, but instead my own clumsy nature. They tell me it was a fall, though I still think I may have been pushed, who knows. Owlrey tower. Most of it was from the stairs. I had an unsightly nose earlier, but that was fixed easily.”
Rowan honestly didn’t mind him being clingy. It was almost adorable, had it not been for the fact that he did not want Miko to worry over him whatsoever. Clingy and worried were two different things.
He didn’t want to be coddled and treated like he was going to die any moment. That was overly worried.
However he didn’t mind someone wanting to be around him often because he was well... him. That was clingy. He could handle that.
Rowan reached out to run a hand through Miko’s hair (Fluffy!), closing his eyes briefly. Gods above and below, the lights were not kind to his head. Far too bright. He almost just wanted to go back to sleep. For the third- no- fifth? He had lost count of how many little naps he had taken so far. He was just exhausted, but couldn’t make his body fall asleep.

A painful predicament
With as gentle as he could be, he patted Rowan's shin with so much care he could barely feel it himself. Miko gave the other a reassuring smile and stood up. The boy walked over to a group of nurses muttering to themselves and nodded his head several times before coming back. "Well they said with enough time here you should be alright and as you said, they're working on the case still." He informed Rowan, well more repeating his words really, but all the same. From behind his back, he pulled out a small rose and put it on the bedside. "I hand plucked the thorns...that was a bad idea." Miko showed his hand with several bandages on it.
The Hufflepuff looked him up and down, slowly as if checking for anything else he needed to do. Rowan looked at the point of over exhaustion with the dark shadows under his eyes...or that could be his black eyes, who knows? Either way he definitely was tired and Miko was not far from him as well, staying up all night studying and doing homework from the day before it was a lot. The previous day he had gotten extra homework because a new student showed and needed help with his homework, so more got piled on top.
"I will visit tomorrow." The boy told the injured one, walking to the door.
He turned around giving a small wave before closing the doors behind him.

A painful predicament
Rowan giggled softly as he saw the rose. It was adorable, though Miko had injured himself. And speaking of injuries- Laughing was not a good idea. It hurt. A lot.
“Have you heard of scissors mon amour? They are very useful. As well as gloves.”
He held the flower with gentle hands, smiling softly.
As Miko turned to leave, loneliness seemed to stab him in the gut. He was already leaving? What had it been- ten minutes? Not even that...
Though he did have other things to do. He didn’t want him to just sit here and look after him. Or he didn’t want to be distracting from whatever else Miko had in his life. He couldn’t be expected to just sit here.
Still. It hurt, watching him walk away.
Rowan smiled and waved back, not a hint of sadness lingering in his eyes.
He waved a nurse over, whispering something to her as Miko closed the doors. If he was going to be here for awhile, he was going to have a project.
Soon after he made his request, he slept. For a long time at that.
The next day, the flowers arrived, and he set to work, weaving and cutting, humming softly as he worked. The first time in years. And finally, just as visiting hours were about to open, he finished.
Another band of flowers sat beside him on the table as he fell asleep. And interestingly enough- it was almost the perfect size for Miko’s head. Funny.
Although the worst was still yet to come.
The nurses stopped Miko at the door the next time he tried to come in, speaking in hushed tones.
Rowan had already been informed of the possibility of this happening as soon as he came in but he didn’t really imagine it happening...
“Miko is it? Could I have a word with you?”
She said. She lead him over to the front desk where Rowan couldn’t see them.
“We haven’t told Mr. Bane yet, but we just want you to be aware of this, so you can prepare for his reaction....
You see, Rowan’s spinal injury isn’t... healing properly. Well- I hate to put this bluntly- but we don’t expect it to fix. He’ll be paralysed below the waist from now on we believe... many of his nerves were severed from the fall. Humans don’t heal well from spinal injuries. No creature does really. It’s not fatal in any way- but like I said... He won’t be walking, we’re pretty sure. Though anything is possible...? We’ll keep trying.”

A painful predicament
It was early in the morning, breakfast time to be exact. Miko had asked to be excused from the table with a box in hand, also with a croissant shoved in his mouth. The box was green with a red ribbon on top, about a necklace size. The Hufflepuff walks in and is immediately led to the front desk. He was wearing a cute little Hufflepuff Christmas sweater as he walked in, on top his hair was a Santa hat.
The boy was pulled over by the nurses. Maybe it was finally some good news, maybe his spine had finally healed! Nope. The complete opposite in fact. At first, Miko was sad and mournful but he perked up shortly after having a small pity party. Rowan could get a wheelchair! It wouldn't change anything! They could adapt, humans do it all the time how hard could it be? Brushing the sad news aside, he nodded and walked to Rowan's bedside.
Miko placed the box on the bedside and smiled brightly. "Happy Christmas, Rowan!" The Hufflepuff greeted him and jumped around, cheering. Christmas was always his favorite holiday, it was a time for family and friends! This year he wouldn't be spending the holiday's with his family though, they were visiting a family member in America. No, this year, he was spending it with his beloved boy, Rowan. He was excited for what he got for Rowan. It was a golden necklace with a picture of Miko in it, matching the one he was wearing except with a picture of Rowan in it. The picture of the Hufflepuff was him with a small snitch flying around and as for the Gryffindor's picture, it was him laughing in the hospital bed.

A painful predicament
Rowan was actually looking a bit better, surprisingly. He looked like he had been actually eating, and his back looked surprisingly better than before, from what he could see on his neck and shoulders.
“Did you just say ‘Happy Christmas? It’s Merry Christmas, mon amour. Merry. Not happy.”
He said this in a completely loving way, but he was an idiot sometimes.
“Your enthusiasm and energy makes me exhausted just watching you.”
A joke of course.
Rowan noticed the necklace around Miko’s neck near instantly, being the little observant child he was. He also spotted the gift at the side of the bed.
He pulled the crown from the bedside table into his lap, smiling softly.
“So... it’s not much... It doesn’t have a fancy box or wrapping... and I don’t expect you to wear it if you don’t like it but... well... Merry Christmas, dork.”
He handed it to him, blushing slightly. It wasn’t the worst gift, he guessed. A crown of woven roses, all in different colors, covering the full span of the rainbow.
Why?
Because gay, and he couldn’t decide which Miko would like best. The red rose, was of course the one Miko had given to him himself.
“The jumper is adorable, by the way. Let me guess, my turn now, for presents?”

A painful predicament
Miko was practically vibrating, waiting for Rowan to open his own present. He placed the rainbow flower crown on his head and jumped up and down. "I looooooovvvvveeeee iiiiiiitttttttt!" The Hufflepuff squealed, ignoring the wrong accusation the other made. 'Merry Christmas' what kind of stupid sentence is that? Well for him at least, he was always raised that the phrase used happy and not merry. A true Scot at it's finest, even though the boy seemed like a bit of an idiot at times that's how he wanted it to be. If it seemed as if he wasn't the brightest, his standards would be set low for him even though he could achieve way more.
The Hufflepuff had the dumbest grin on, putting the Santa hat inside the flower crown. It made him look adorable but slightly strange, as he always was. "Well, don't leave me waiting! Open yer present too!" Miko told him and looked from the present to Rowan several times, urging him to open the package. He knew the boy's favorite color was green so he got a green box and had made the red ribbon himself, very clearly. The poor ribbon looked more mangled than Rowan's nose before it was fixed.

A painful predicament
Rowan frowned and blinked a few times. Miko was very loud, and he still had a migraine. He reached out to grab the other’s hand, wincing slightly. It’s not that he wasn’t happy to see the other excited but...
“Patience mon amour. Please calm down a bit. It’s fabulous to see you excited but- Just a little quieter. Please.”
Rowan then set to work on opening the box, being not-so-careful with the ribbon.
As soon as Rowan saw the necklace he connected the dots. A matching pair. Rowan had stopped wearing jewellery a few days ago for the sake of the creatures he had been visiting out in the snow, however... he could make an acception. It wouldn’t be the end of the world. He ran his nail along the side because well... the necklace was simple and it was one of a pair so.... it was most likely a locket.
His investigation, of course, came out correct.
He smiled just a bit wider as he saw the picture.
“We need to get one together once I’m out of here. A better picture, that is.”
He slipped the necklace over his head, not flinching as it touched the back of his neck, right where the remaining cuts were.

A painful predicament
The boy nodded understandingly as his wish was for Miko to be a bit more quiet. He wasn't trying to be rather loud, he was just overwhelmed with excitement. It was Christmas after all, the holiday of cheer and family! Also it was known as the best holiday in the world, other than Thanksgiving which was his favorite because of the load of food presented.
"Apologies, mo ghaol, I'm just a bit excited is all. I do hope you like the gift!"
Opening his own locket, he pointed to the picture of Rowan on the bed. Miko grinned as he looked at it himself, the other was extremely sick and pale but the picture was the best part of the whole thing! Well to the Hufflepuff anyways, Rowan probably wouldn't like it all too much but it was quite a dear photo of him to the child, anyways. They would probably get the picture retook but it was a cute picture for the while it lasted anyways.
The Gryffindor boy put the locket on and it was really stunning in Miko's opinion. The gold really complimented the white of the other's hair and all the color of his flower crown.

A painful predicament
Rowan hated it with every fiber of his being when he saw himself in the hospital bed.
His fist clenched around his own locket.
Though the same smile rested on his face.
“I love it.”
He said quietly.
He just wanted to get back to his dorm, the warm, home-like room.
Faking a yawn, he snuggled back into the pillows, looking adorable even though he was faking about half of his current situation. It was his talent...
And Miko currently had no idea.
Sometimes he hated that he was too cowardly to show his true feelings.
Gryffindor indeed. Not.
And the terrible part was he didn’t even know why he hated the lockets so much now. It was just a picture. It should have been nice. Miko got him something sweet. So why did he want to rip it off his neck and chuck it out a window?
“Mon amour, I believe the nurses are going to gut you if you stay much longer. And I’m sure you have some other friends to go see. Visit later?”
Yes, the nurses were a little peeved, but they more likely wanted to talk to Rowan about the issue with his spine.
This was just going to be a lovely day.
