Chapter 40: Love: Trebles promise

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Trebles eyes slowly opened but quickly closed again as he was blinded by the change in light. Once he let his eyes adjust to the light he opened them to find himself in a hospital bed. Confused at first he began to remember the events of the previous day. Remembering the fight with Electro, the revealation that others knew of his position and how he had fallen unconscious. The only thing he didn't know was how he had gotten into the hospital.

Looking over slightly he saw the girl he loved sitting beside him with both spiders on her shoulders, all of them looking at him intently. Once Sunset noticed his eyes were open she smiled and grabbed his hand in hers. "Hi honey, how're you feeling?" She asked softly.

Treble tried to sit up but felt a stabbing be pain, he slumped back in his bed and gave a weak chuckle. "Been better..." He said dryly as he sighed.

"No kidding, with the bruises and broken bones you're lucky to be alive. Though, I wasn't worried for one second." Sunset said with a confident smile.

"Why's that?"

Sunset just smirked and leaned over the bed and kissed his cheek. "Because I know it would take a hell of a lot more than this to kill my man." Treble just smiled and gave a weak chuckle. He looked down and saw that his right arm was covered in bandages, as was his torso. His leg was held in a cast and his other thigh was wrapped up. Luckily, it seemed that no damaged had been dealt to his...most vital area, much to Sunsets relief. Hey, don't judge her alright..,or me for that matter.

Hack: Waaaaaaaaayyy too late for that dude

Oh shut up Wonder or I'm making you get yourself circumcised, another thing actually you aren't in this scene!

Hack: Ok, I'll go, God!

*Sigh* I really need to tone him down on his fourth wall breaking, that shit is too expensive to repair every single day.

Getting back on track with our favourite lovebirds, Sunset just sat with her lover, talking about what she had planned since graduation was soon to arrive. Treble just lay there, listening to her voice with a smile on his face. He wasn't great at communicating, but he did his best to be a good listener, even in topics he didn't find interesting, he would listen carefully, not missing a single detail. He, of course, paid extra attention to his woman when she was talking, the sound of her voice being enough to make him fall in love with her again and again. Not that he fell out of love with her, that's clearly fuckin obvious...why do I even explain these things? Am I that far in that I'm starting to scrap any form of comedy I can get?

Eh, most likely.

Anyway, Treble directed his attention to Sunsets stomach, it wasn't long enough yet that there was any noticeable change, but he knew his child was in there, growing gradually. A smile was brought to hai face as he imagined when the baby was born, how happy he and Sunset would be with their new flesh and blood. Be it a little girl or little boy, he didn't care, he just wanted to see the baby as soon as possible. He knew that there would be a good number of sleepless nights, dealing with Sunsets needs in the final months of the pregnancy, keeping their income steady while also keeping time to spend with his lover and child.

"Treble?" Sunset said his name suddenly, earning his attention again.

"Yeah hon?"

"When you're well again...you're going after your father aren't you?" Treble just slowly nodded with his eyes closed and a frown adorning his face. "Yeah, I thought so."

"You ok?"

"Yeah...I just can't help but worry about you right now. I may not have worried about you when facing Electro, who they are still scraping off of that wall, but I knew the stakes were lower then. But with X...that's an entire criminal organisation you're going up against Treble. How do I know that you'll walk out of this in one piece, I don't want our child growing up without their father."

Treble just looked at her with understanding eyes. He too knew the risk he would be taking when going up against the Black Cats of Music, he could very well end up dead. He didn't want to risk that, especially not with Sunset and his friends and family around, he knew it would hit them hard.

"Just...promise me something." Sunset said quietly while holding his free hand tightly in her own. "Just...be careful alright?" She sniffed a bit and wiped a tear from her eye, causing Treble to feel bad and try to reach for her to give her comfort, but his broken body made him stay put. "I won't be able to handle it if something were to happen to you. I can't spend my life knowing that the man I love died trying to protect me, I feel useless and helpless. You're constantly risking your life for everyone. So...after this business with X...promise me that this will be the last thing you risk your life for."

Trevle just looked at get questioningly.

"If you're needed to save lives or to help someone else, sure, go ahead and help. Just...stop putting yourself in these situations...I don't know how much more I can take Treble."

Treble gave a sad smile and used his free hand to make Sunset look him in the eye. "I promise." He said readily. The last thing he wanted to do was make hai love cry, and he would do anything to make sure she was happy, even if it meant his own happiness.

Sunset just smiled and let a few more tears escape. "Thank you..." She leaned forward and kissed Treble gently on the lips before crawling onto the bed and lying beside him, cuddling up in a way that wouldn't hurt him.

He smiled warmly and wrapped his free arm around her to pull her closer. 'I just don't know if I can keep that promise.'
