"Now I'm falling even more in love with you."
Who: Finlay Bennett and Shannon Webster
What: Alone time
Where: Shannon's room, Mount Sinai
When: Saturday
It had been a really long and hard week, to say the least. Fin hadn't expected it to be so hard not to be able to talk to Shannon. He hadn't underestimated how close their bond was, and always had been, but it had just become part of his life to be in touch with Shannon daily. Until Shannon had to have his operation. Then he was kept sedated in the wake of it, until they were confident there had been enough healing around the wound him to be moved. Shannon had woken up, but he had been in so much pain, they ultimately kept him pretty much knocked out on heavy painkillers. If he was awake, he was in tears. Fin still visited him every day, even if they couldn't talk.
In the process of all that, he had gotten to know Zeke. Zeke was a real easy guy to like, and he and Fin hit it off pretty well. It was a good outlet for Fin to have, being able to hear all Zeke's no-filter stories about growing up with Shannon. He could see Shannon and Zeke share similarities in personality. They were both fun and hilarious. Zeke had a challenging past of his own, having survived cancer, and a pretty nasty form of it, from the sounds of it. But he joked about it, and that showed a lot of strength of character. Fin hadn't met Zeke before now because he had been on student exchange in London. Zeke was the sort of colourful character who could probably write a book about his life, even if he was only in his teens.
It was the weekend now - finally - and Fin came to the hospital armed with his laptop, expecting Shannon to still be struggling. When he got there, though, Niko was there with Shannon and it looked like he was actually conversing with him. "Hey," he said in surprise, hurrying in quickly to find that Shannon was awake and he wasn't crying. "Aw, hey, beautiful. Do you know how good it is to see your eyes, huh? Can I hug you, or is that still off-limits?" he greeted him, tearing up as he took Shannon's hand with a smile. Niko ruffled Fin's hair with a smile and told them he'd let them have some alone time. That was one thing Fin truly adored about all of Shannon's family; they accepted him, and had kept him involved right through this whole thing.
