"Phil your crushing me"

phils eyes open suddenly, meeting with dans. their noses are touching. phil smiles at him. phil tries to move away but dan laughs

"you.. weren't actually.. crushing me I just wanted to wake you up" Dan laughs, moving In closer to him so their noses touch again.

"Well it worked" phil smiles.

"Mr Howe-" dans nurse says walking in, holding the door Handel, both dan and phil shoot up to see her, she's blushing

"Sorry did I walk in on something?" She asks laughing

"No no, sorry, those chairs are just really uncomfortable"

"You could have gone home Mr Lester"

"I live in Manchester it's a bit far from here, and I didn't want to leave dan by himself" dan blushes at the comment,

"I don't blame you. But. Mr Howell I've got some good news!" She says, dans eyes glow with anticipation

"O-okay"

"The surgery went as planed and you are starting therapy today!"

"T-therapy?" Dan gets scared, thinking his parents are going to try and brainwash him

"No no no not like that honey! As in Walking therapy! You have been in bed for a while"

"I haven't walked in a month.."

"Oh goodness, really?"

"Yeah, they uh, chained me to the ground" dan mumbles

"I'm so sorry for you" the nurse says, giving him sympathy.

"It's okay, phil saved me"

"Thank god for that! Well, I'll let you two be and I'll come back in 10 with a wheelchair, you can get chained if you would like, it seems as though mr Lester brought you some clothes" she says, pointing to dans backpack, dan looks up at phil and smiles

"Okay thank you" dan smiles, the nurse leaves.

"You brought me clothes?"

"Like I'd let you leave the hospital naked"

"I bet you'd like to see that"

"..maybe"

Dan got dressed with the help of Phil, in a pastel yellow Panic! At the Disco sweater and some loose tracksuit pants. His hair Greasy and Curly from not having the chance to shower.

"You look good in yellow" phil says, planting a kiss on his forhead,

"No I don't.."

"Hey You look good in every colour"

"I only wear black"

"Fine have it your way"

The nurse comes back with a wheelchair, both her and Phil helped dan into it, taking him through the hospital, it's got the smell of bad cleaner and antiseptic, it makes dan feel sick. They went through to a gym, it has those rail's ballerinas use set up in the middle, and a Buff man in a tank top holding a clipboard

"Hello you must be Daniel, I'm Doctor Oversis, I'll be your therapist coach" the man says, Dan's wheelchair is set between 2 of the rails,

"So, we are going to first start off with little steps, I'm going to get you to use your arms and pull yourself out of the chair" he says. Phil stands on the other end of the rails, it's at least 4 meters. Dan grabs ahold of the bars, gripping onto them as tight as he can, and tries to lift himself out of the chair, it takes him at least 5 attempts, and he is holding himself up, he feels shocking pins and needles down his legs, he can't feel them, they are numb.

"Okay dan, are you okay?"

"I can't feel my legs, but I know I'm standing on them"

"That's normal don't worry okay? What were going to do is move your knees up, slowly, okay?" He asks, dan struggles, he lifts his left leg off the ground, gripping the rails doing so. He goes up to where his knee is landscape to his stomach and lets it go back down, he does the same With his right, and continues a few more times, he is no longer numb and his pins and needles have faded.

"The pins and needles are gone"

"Okay now try and take a step, and make your way over to your friend" dan snorts at the word 'friend', he moves his right leg forwards, standing with his legs parted, he moved his right hand up to where his foot is and moves his left, he slowly starts moving to the other end,

"Do you think you can let go?"

"I-I'll try" dan says, he lets go of the rail, and takes a small step, he wobbles a bit, grabbing ahold of the rail again.

"You did well Daniel, well done, we can work on walking without the rail tomorrow" he says. Phil gets the wheelchair for dan, dan sits down on it, a great weight is taken off his legs once he sits down.

"I'll see you tomorrow Daniel" the doctor says as phil wheels dan out of the gym and back to his room,

"I'm sure I can walk without his help"

"Dan I wouldn't try that if I was you"

"Why? I can do it I've been walking since I was 16 months!"

"Please don't try it, at least without me in the room"

"Fine"
