"Not exactly… We're in a ward filled with the gravely injured… That means the others are in another ward." Theodore closed his eyes, weakly curling his fingers on Joshua's. "I can't see… or hear Eugene. That guy is the most protected. I'm pretty sure that if he's not here, he's in that other place. He didn't go with his not-boyfriend, for sure…"
Joshua sniffed… soon smiling. "How are you still talking? I thought your neck got crushed. How are you awake earlier than everyone else…?"
Theodore chuckled with difficulty. "Not everyone else. The other girls were talking earlier. I also heard someone getting resuscitated… The sounds were so close to me. I thought it was you…"
"Who was it, then?" Joshua almost purred.
"Me."
"Fucking die."
"I'd rather die fucking. Want to join me?"
