Hospital Stay

 Hospital Stay

A Spider-Man fan fic one-shot

Lyric P.O.V.

I was so scared. Peter had just taken a bullet for me, I was so grateful, yet so terrified when I saw him lying there. His blood pooling on the floor, Frank hadn't meant to hit him. He was aiming for me, which  didn't know why. I had done nothing wrong, and yet Frank thought I was a threat. Luckily Frank rushed Peter to the nearest hospital, and they got him in pretty quickly. The doctors took him straight to surgery, and they removed the bullet from his back. He was unconscious for a long time, with an oxygen mask over his beautiful face. I sat there, with my hand over his. Frank was seated next to me, I couldn't read his expression though. I think he looked worried, which was weird, since I didn't think he cared that much about Peter. But perhaps I was wrong. A few tears fell down my face, as I squeezed my boyfriend's hand tighter. "Please wake up, please Peter." I whispered. "He'll be okay." I heard Frank say, as he startled me. "How do you know, like you even care." I said, a little coldly. "Hey, who says I don't care?" Frank said. "You just seem so closed off to people, I didn't think you would care about him." Frank looked down at the floor, then back up at me. "Oh really? If I didn't care, then why would I carry him all the way here?" He asked me. I thought about it, and then it started to make sense. Perhaps Frank really did like Peter. "Your boyfriend is really brave, he saved your life, by risking his. He's earned my respect." Frank said. I nodded, and then went back to watching Peter breathe. Then something incredible happened, I saw Peter's eye flutter. And he slowly got up. "Peter?" I said, almost not believing it. "Lyric? Are you okay?!" He said, sitting up quickly then regretting it, as he winced. "Hey, hey easy kid." Frank said, getting up to stand next to me. "I'm okay babe, I promise." I said, squeezing his tighter. "Good." He said, smiling at me. "That was a pretty freaking heroic thing you did." Frank praised. "Thanks man." Peter said, laying back down. "Does it hurt?" I asked, concerned. "A little bit, but not as much as it did." He replied, with a wince. "They had to cut you out of the suit." Frank mentioned. Which Peter was taken a little aback at . "But the important thing is they saved you." I said, running my fingers through his hair. "I'm just so grateful you're okay." Peter told me, as he squeezed my hand back. "Thank you for saving my life." I said, kissing his forehead. "I will always save you." Peter said, blowing me a kiss. I blushed, and Frank made choking noises. "What's that sound?" Peter asked. Frank and I looked outside the window, and we saw pretty much the whole city cheering for Spider-Man. People had signs, and home made costumes, and a huge banner that said "We Love You Spidey" When Peter got the okay to be discharged, him and I walked out of the hospital into the street. It was a truly beautiful moment, everyone praising Spider-Man. Peter smiled. "People really do love me." He said. "Of course they do! You're amazing!" I told him, taking his hand in mine. After that day, Peter's confidence had grown, and I believe for the first time since we got together, he's the happiest he's been in a long time.
