You wake up in a hospital bed, with Cassidy reading out loud by your side Contains: Established Relationship, Reading, Comfort, Injuries, Petnames (Sweetheart, Darlin') This is a soft continuation of the Cassidy audio I did where he got hurt himself! I asked twitter what they'd like to hear, and an overwhelming amount of people wanted to hear the flip side of Cassidy being with the listener after they were injured, plus some people wanted him reading to the listener, so I combined the two! I hope you all enjoy! ~Audio Transcript Below~ Cassidy: *reading an excerpt out of the Wizard of Oz* *gasps softly* Holy shit, don’t~ *sighs shakily* Thank God you’re awake……shit…… *pause* To be perfectly honest, Darlin’........it is taking all of my willpower not to jump up and hug the ever livin’ daylights outta you……but…..you ain’t outta the woods just yet…….. *pause* Yeah…..you got injured while you were in the field…… Not really sure the extent of the injuries just yet………more concerned with the fact that you weren’t wakin’ up right away…… *pause* You were admitted last night…….so about……twelve hours ago? *pause* Naw, I haven’t been here that long……was on a job and didn’t find out until afterwards…….. I’ve been here about…….six of those twelve hours? *pause* *chuckles ruefully, but slightly wet* Now I understand why you got so gotdamn angry at me when I was injured before…….. It’s…..God it’s terrifying……… *pause* I will say that your hospital stay is quite a bit more serious than mine was……. But it’s not really the time to talk about that either……. More than anything…..I’m just……..*exhales* I’m glad you’re at least awake now……. It’s a real good sign…….. Plus the fact that you’re talking with me…..and……seems like you’re pretty coherent? That’s……that’s a relief….. *pause* I know I say it a lot……and it’s not like it’s a secret or anything, Darlin’......but I love you… You are…..the light of my life…….and this has been……very hard for me…….. Every time one of us gets injured…….it reminds me that what we have is special…..and precious……. And as much as I would love to not have you go out into the field…..I know that’s where you want to be…..that’s where you feel like you’re doing the best work you can…..in helping the world…..and I can’t pull you away from that just because I’m being selfish…… *pause* All we can do as be as careful and professional as we can…….and then if accidents or injuries happen……we just have to….work through them……. *chuckles softly* But if there’s ever a time you want us to retire, I’ll be right there with you…… *pause* Hm? Oh…….well….to pass the time….I was readin’ out loud....... *pause* Also to maybe……..in case you were able to hear…..I wanted you to hear a voice that you were used to……the voice of someone you love…..so maybe you wouldn’t feel so alone or......scared......... Or maybe you’d wake up faster……. *self deprecating laugh* But that’s just the romantic in me, I think……. *hushes softly* Don’t move too much Sweetheart…….. *pause* You need to rest……..you’re on the road to recovery…..but I think this one is gonna be a longer trip………. *hushes* It’s alright, I ain’t going nowhere…..’sides…..someone’s gotta tell Angela that you’ve woken up…….even if you do fall back asleep before she comes back around……. So just rest Darlin’..... I love you so goddamn much……you’re gonna be ok…….. *pause* You want me to keep readin’ to ya? *chuckles* Of course I will…….. *continues reading Wizard of Oz where he left off*
