The first thing he had done after Suzie Q found him beaten and battered but victorious after defeating Kars, was beg the woman to search for Caesar, to save him if she could. As he’d lay in his hospital bed a new hand being graphed to his wrist... courtesy of his Uncle Speedwagon, He was told they had found him, he was alive. He wasn’t allowed to see him though, Suzie Q had told him he was in no state to move himself.
It was torture in a way, Caesar was so close and he couldn’t see him, couldn’t hear his voice or hear his breathing... He could touch him ether. He’d bit his lip and even tried to see him a few times before being dragged back before they gave him a guard. It wasn’t until he was given the ok to move freely that he went to see Caesar but not without a little something...
A box of chocolates, it was a expensive brand too, one he’d seen the Italian enjoy in the past. He’d picked it specially for him, no one else even knew he was still alive yet and here he was with a box of sweets for a man that may not even be a wake or capable of eating. The thought made him tear up as he entered the room. Blue eyes meeting green, Caesar was awake, but as his name left the other man’s lips it twisted his heart in knots to hear how weak it was. The gift he put on the shelf forgotten as he held back a flood of tears.
“Mmm~!” He managed to choke out in reply to that little sentence before he saw Caesar look to the gift. “I know... *sniffle*...” Crap he was loosing it. “I know how much you like this brand and I...” He started as he took the box and started to open it before he broke down at that apology. “I almost lost you! Caesar! I... I shouldn’t have said those things... I...” The flood gates opened and he began sobbing like some small child. How stupid he’d been and it almost cost him the man he loved.
