Rumble rubbed his head again and tiredly gazed at the scout and the doctor. Being under anesthesia was definitely something the yordle was not used to, so he still felt dazed and sleepy after waking up. He took a few more seconds to collect his senses and soon noticed that he was sitting on a bed only in his underwear, plus a few bandages.
"Oh, er... Where's my clothes? Oh, there they are..." Rumble reached for his shirt and pants and put them on rather quickly, blushing slightly from embarrassment. As soon as he's done putting on his clothes, however, he lies back down on the bed and places a palm on his forehead.
"I think I need a moment to recuperate. Brain's still foggy from that anesthesia, bleh..."

Teemo nods in understanding, looking down at the doctor, who is wrapping Teemo's ankle once again. For a moment the doctor looks up, giving a slight chuckle. "Oh, you'll have that sometimes. No worries, though, I'm sure you'll be fine after resting for a couple minutes."
The scout sits back a little, blankly staring ahead in though for a few minutes before turning to Rumble, snickering after a moment of staring at him with a smirk.

Rumble didn't reply. He simply put his hands on his belly and stared at the ceiling for a couple of minutes, appearing to be lost in thought. In actuality, though, he was contemplating deeply about something, and at some points, he made slight, wincing facial expressions, as if he was cringing at himself. Once he felt better from the anesthesia, the yordle hopped off the bed and rubbed his head a little.

When his foot is once again cast in bandages, Teemo takes in a deep breath and returns to his previously stoic expression. The doctor returns to his feet and hums, glancing over to Rumble while he rests for a moment before turning back to the scout. "You do still have your crutch, don't you?"
Teemo nods, tilting his head in Rumble's direction slightly when the mechanic sits up. "Yes sir, I do. I just left it back at Rumble's place when I tried carrying him here. I think I can just use him as a crutch until we get back to his workshop, right 'Bull?" He turns to Rumble, his lips ever so slightly turned up in a confident smile.

Rumble walked over to Teemo and placed an arm over Teemo's shoulders. He smiled at the scout and lightly patted his shoulder so it wouldn't cause much pain to the stitches on his arm.
"Yeah, that'll be fine, Tee."
The doctor smirked at the pair and opened the door, amused by the two's actions. "Alright, you're free to leave then. The billing process will be taken care of, seeing as both of you have been to this hospital before."

Teemo smiles a little more, turning to nod to the doctor as he gets onto one foot. "Thanks for the help doc."
He leans on the chair a little to keep his balance, then carefully puts his arm around Rumble's shoulders and leans on him a little to keep weight off of his bad foot. "Heh, alright 'Bull, let's get back to your place. I don't want to make you carry me around everywhere."

"Alright then, take care," the doctor smiled.
Rumble waved back at the doctor as he made his way out of the door with Teemo leaning on his shoulder. The mechanic didn't say another word until the pair made it out of the hospital. Once they were outside, Rumble looked left and right to make sure no one was in hearing range, then he started talking to his friend.
"Hey Tee, are you free for the rest of the day? I.... I want to make sure you're not upset and help you feel better." The blue-furred yordle glanced away and looked down, slightly embarrassed by what he just said.

Teemo's ear twitch at the question, and he turns his head a little to eye Rumble curiously. For a moment the thoughts return to his head, but he quickly shrugs them off and smiles a little to hide his discomfort. "Well, since my foot is still bad, I don't have anything better to do. But..."
His eyes soften and he smirks a little more. "I'm not upset, 'Bull. Sure, it's a little hard, but I'm going to try and understand my own feelings better from now on. At least when I'm off-duty. Better to embrace how you feel than hide it, right?"
Post by The Mechanized Menace on Jan 15, 2014 23:48:21 GMT -5
"Yeah," Rumble agreed. "But uh... I was hoping you could spend another day at my place."
Rumble glanced at his friend and frowned slightly. The situation was awkward for him, but he felt like he needed to right some wrongs. "See, uh... I just feel bad about how I treated you when you last stayed at my place, okay? I don't like feeling bad. It sucks, and I wish I could just shake off those regrets, but I can't. I wish I didn't keep pushing you away during that time, and that letter... That letter..."
The mechanic gritted his teeth, clenched his eyes shut, and faced down as he gripped both of his ears and pulled them down. Clearly, he was beating himself up mentally because of the note he sent to his friend. After a moment of frustration, the yordle let out a deep sigh and faced towards Teemo again. "I want to treat you... better," Rumble stated, too embarrassed to replace the word "better" with "like a friend." "This is my chance to repay you. Will you accept it?"

Teemo pauses, staring blankly at Rumble in silence for about a minute. Then he glances around to make sure nobody was paying close attention before turning back to the other yordle. There's a faint blush under his fur, but it's only noticeable when very close, which Rumble can soon see as the scout leans in slowly. Hoping the other yordle doesn't back away, he smiles a little and leans in further, faster, until his nose passes the other's nose, cheek, and ears. He wraps his other arm around Rumble's back carefully, gently pressing his cheek to the other's and giving a short rub. The hug only lasts for a second before he pulls away.
His voice is soft, just loud enough for Rumble to hear him. "I know a simple but tasty stew recipe. We could head back to your place and I'll cook up some dinner while you pick up the rest of the scraps. That's what friends are for, right?"
Teemo's smirk widens into a cheerful grin and he chuckles, for the first time accepting how he feels for Rumble yet not worrying about it.

Rumble's eyes widen slightly as Teemo leans towards him, but he doesn't back away. In fact, once Teemo wraps his arm around the other yordle, Rumble wraps an arm around his friend as well, also keeping it there only for a second. The blue-furred yordle hums for a moment when Teemo rubs his cheek, closing his eyes and smiling. When the hug ends, the mechanic waits for a moment before turning to the scout and replying back with a much quicker hug. Even though Rumble didn't take his time like his friend did, he held the hug longer than one second. The yordle pulls away after a few seconds and grins back, suddenly feeling a lot more content than he did before.

Teemo's blush returns, deeper this time as Rumble embraces him a second time. At first he's wide-eyed in shock, though he quickly closes his eyes contently and once again rubs his cheek against the other male's. Even though he knows they were only friends, it doesn't hurt to indulge once in a while.
After the hug, the scout finds a comfortable position to hold his arm around Rumble's shoulders while they walk and starts to 'lead' the way. "Thanks for inviting me over, 'Bull. Maybe later we could go down to the pub for a glass of mead? I know how much you need to get out more~" He was kind enough to keep his voice low, but Teemo still gives the other yordle a gentle nudge to tease him further.

"The bar? Well..."
Rumble scratched his ear and pondered for a moment as he and Teemo walked towards his workshop. The mechanic wasn't a drinker as he liked having his brain intact, but he considered the offer as he also needed to relax. The past few days have just been work, work, work due to the looming void issue, and Teemo was right; he did need to get out more. A glass of mead couldn't hurt, and he figured he wouldn't make it into a habit anyways.
"...Yeah, I'll take you up on that offer," he chuckled as he looked towards his friend. "Spending some time at that bar once in a while won't kill me," Rumble smiled.

Teemo nods a few times, still smiling. He takes a deep, calm breath as the two slowly make their way back down the road towards the city's gate, back towards Rumble's workshop. For the first time in a while the scout captain feels very calm and even a little excited to return to his friend's home to spend more time with him.
