Ethan woke up to Mason sleeping on the couch just by his side, he wrapped himself together like a cocoon. He smiled when he saw him like that. That has always been his favorite sleeping position. Ethan tried to seat up but he felt pain on the right flank of his stomach, making him wince. Though it had been a soft wince, it was enough to wake Mason up from sleep. He was both surprised and relieved to see Ethan awake. After the surgery Ethan had slept all through the night till now.
"Don't move." Mason said as he hurried to the bedside but Ethan tried to be stubborn by moving up again. Mason held him down by his shoulders, "You're going to open the stitches." He told him.
"I can–"
"Wait let me get the doctor." Mason interjected him, he tried to turn away but Ethan held him by his sleeve and pulled him back.
