Jan. 4th, 2017 11:46 pmThe hardest part, the weirdest part was being back in his own two feet. He'd spent so long on in bed since the accident, so long in a tank. Granted, he'd spent most of it in and out of a sedated sleep, but still.
The medic helped him into a robe, a soft light fabric that didn't stick to his burns. They didn't hurt as much any more. The analgesics in the chamber had helped a lot. He still felt them if he moved wrong or put too much pressure on them. As long as he was careful.
But his lungs felt great. He could breath easily now, even better than before the treatment perhaps. He felt like he would run and run without feeling breathless. It was... strangely exhilarating.
What was more exhilarating was the thought he could go back to Galen. That they still had a month together. To get to know each other. Utterly.
Oh stars!
This would be a first for him, being with someone who he loved, who loved him back. Not that all his... dalliance had been without kindness or friendship. But never love.
And Galen. So sweet, so quick to blush but never in shame. His first time with a man. And Bodhi was lucky to be the one to show him.
He looked at himself in the mirror of the medbay fresher. He'd lost weight, no shock there. And his beard was too scruffy, his hair too long. He took the time to neaten up, trimming his beard and tidying his hair back onto a pony-tail. Stars, he felt like a nervous suitor.
He took a deep breath, one last look at himself before heading back to his room. Hoping Galen as already there. He wasn't sure how long he could bear to pace without him.
