Pain...and that smile

Darkness taints my usually clear vision. "Well, that hurts a lot more than expected." I laugh.

"You ok?" he's so sweet...and that smile...

I laugh again. "Yeah, I'm fine."

"Alright..."

"I'm fine. I promise." I am fine, the pain is already receding, giving way to a warm feeling-like when you hold a cup of fresh coffee? Its calming, and healing and it makes my leg feel much better. Then suddenly there is no injury.

"Whoa, your leg..."

Shit, I forgot he was there for a second.... "Yeah... I heal fast."

"I guess." he laughs, and I feel stupid for being so paranoid.

I shakily get to my feet and he supports me. "Thanks."

"No problem."
