" Doc, how long until he wakes up?" In concern, Mason asked Danielle who has just came inside the room.

She smiled at him, quickly checked the sleeping Matthew " He should wake up in the next ten minutes or so. Don't worry."

Mason hummed, before going back to holding Matthew's hand and watching over him.

As the doctor walked out of the room, Mason softly rested his face close to his boyfriend's head while still holding his hand.

Almost fifteen minutes later, Mason felt Matthew's hand squeezing his.

" Matt? Are you awake?" He sat up instantly and looked at Matthew face, only for the latter to smirk and chuckle " I wasn't in coma, Mason. Don't worry."

Mason smiled at his own worry, as he slowly helped Matthew sit up " How are you feeling? Do you feel any pain or change?"

Matthew lifted his hand to remove the oxygen mask from his face " I can't open my eyes, because of the bandage. I don't feel any pain, I'm okay."
