[Chase stared at the parallel bars set up in front of him, his wheelchair pointed toward one of the open ends of it. He was supposed to be waiting for a nurse or some kind of spotter before doing this but the Crow couldn't stand being in the damn wheelchair a moment longer. He hated being helpless like this and having to rely on others for so much of what he used to be able to do on his own.

A glance at the door and he put the locks on the wheels, grabbing both bars as his feet set on the ground. It felt odd, the floor under his bare feet again and Chase looked down at them only to give a rueful laugh. They looked pale and weak, but he hadn't lost much muscle mass in his legs which was something he was thankful for. His arms he needed to tone again what with not being able to lift weights because of his ribs. At least he could do that now in his wheelchair, the doctors said his ribs were as good as new again but to lay off doing any squats with them for a few more months.

But he dallied long enough, hoisting himself up onto his feet and pushed up with them as well. Immediately they started to give, knees buckling and hurting. Chase bit back a curse and pulled himself up again, arms shaking with the effort but he managed to support his weight long enough to lock his knees. Even if he was panting with the effort.]

Ha... This'll be longer than I thought...

	[We'll see what happens when he heals. Wondering why Chase never asked you to sleep on that instead, Allen? Chase pulls back a little at suddenly having Allen so close, fighting the urge just to nose him and settles with leaning his head against Allen's.] She did this earlier b'fore I went ta therapy.

	[Yes, actually. He hadn't even known the couch could be pulled out at all... Letting out a soft hum, and tilting his head just so that it leans against Chase's, just the tiniest bit.] She misses you. [Pausing.] She could sleep with you... it might make her feel better.

	[Because he never thought of it and Allen was like a little brother he never got to have. Closing his eyes and just drinking in having Allen near.] Prob'bly should sleep anyway. It'll jus' make it awkward fer tha nurse ta get'er in tha mornin, though. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[...kajgh-- that was the closest thing Chase has done in awhile. It makes Allen's cheeks tinge slightly pink, but he pauses. Was... that an invitation?] I wouldn't mind... if you want me to. [Of course, he's sure there wasn't any real implication in that. But. ...there doesn't need to be, either. It's been awhile since he's been there...] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[Just to sleep with him and Seren, nothing more. He knows that Allen has probably missed her company as well, seeing as she's always asleep in her own bed when he was in the infirmary. Or gone to daycare during the day when Allen came and slept in Chase's bed; besides, is this really all that different from then? Not like he'd try anything with Seren in the same room or a total stranger in the other.]

Ya donna have ta stay tha whole night if'n ya donna wanna. Jus' 'til I sleep?

	[There's always ~the bathroom~. Add to the memories. But no, he's not really thinking along those lines, anyway - and he wouldn't expect something like that right now. Not different at all, and he's perfectly okay with that.] ...could I stay? [Longer than that. Here, with Chase. Maybe for the day. If Chase would let him be there for so long.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[Ahahahaha. Ah, no. Probably...won't ever again. Chase takes in a deep breath (look, he can do them again!) and lets it out.] Yeah, donna see me risin early like normal anyway. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I can do that. [Though it's so much less fun. But he bends down, looping an arm underneath Chase's. Waiting for the go-ahead before he does anything.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[Of course he's okay, being around Allen always helps Chase in some way. Whether it's calming him down or just little moves like that, reminding him that someone is there with him. Can take some of the stress, worry, etc. He cracks a weak little smile and shifts further back on the bed.] Think ya ken help me lift my legs up here on tha bed? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

[His smile widens slightly, but... he doesn't like how weak this has Chase right now, just the walking he's done in a single day... he should have gotten Seren on his own.]

Yeah... of course I can.

[And he does - reaching down to carefully lift Chase's legs, one hand at the knee and the other hand at the ankle, one at a time until both are on the bed.</i>]</small>

[It's not so much weak or tired this time as it being difficult to do with Seren as big as she is and being in his arms. And besides, if you had gotten her Allen you would've scared off the nurse (it's the nice one at that) and you wouldn't be getting to sleep with Chase and Seren again.

He shifts a bit further into the bed and then lays back, Allen has enough room to climb up beside him or up the end of the bed to rest on the other side. Depends on which shoulder is the bad one.]

	[Sob. That's true. He does kind of miss getting to curl up with them, even with platonic feelings towards Chase. It was nice when they did-- comfortable even, to doze with those two hearts nearby. Unfortunately the good shoulder is on the other side, so Allen walks around the bed instead and kicks off his shoes and cloak before crawling in under the covers.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	[Their opportunity to catch up is now at least! And at least it makes it easier for Allen to fall asleep with their two hearts, if not as quickly as it is for him to sleep with Lavi's. Chase snorts softly, it's a huge bed and Allen is waaaaaaay over there. Chase shifts a bit closer but can't move much with Seren like she is.] (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
