Berwald woke again as Yekaterina knocked on the door as she entered. The Swede held a finger to his lips and she nodded before walking over to the bed and whispering, "Glad to see you're awake, partner." Berwald simply nodded once, "Tino's been here every day and every night to make sure you're alright."

The Swede looked down at the Finn still sleeping on his shoulder and smiled.

"This is probably the most he's slept since…" Berwald's smile faded.

...

Tino woke as he felt the Swede shift, "M-Mh?"

"G' b'ck ta sle'p…" Berwald's voice was rough and weak still.

"Y-You still shouldn't be talking…"

"W'll ya shouldn' be st'y'n' up ta t'ke c're 'f me." Tino groaned slightly, "Y'kater'na t'ld me…"

"Please stop speaking. I-I know I've tried to get you to speak more. B-But now…Y-You'll hurt yourself."

"'nly if ya go b'ck ta sle'p…"

Tino groaned again before repositioning himself on Berwald' shoulder, "F-Fine…"

The Swede kissed the top of his head and tightened his arm around the Finn, "G…Go'd…"

Sorry this is both late and short…I'm at a writer's block and while I was taking a break from writing this…My computer had MORE issues. The cable memory power thingy or something wouldn't register or something. I don't remember. Anyway, hope you enjoyed!
