"Mr. Benoit? Mr. Benoit, we're going to have to keep you overnight. It's just a precaution, but you did have a hard fall, and we'd like to keep you under surveillance for a bit to mark growth patterns. Your bones and tendons are very strained at the moment, so you may have to be on bedrest for the next couple of weeks, too. You're going to be really tall at least~ I'm sure the ladies will love it eventually hahahaha. Mr. Benoit? Mr. Benoit are you listening?"
These words rolled around and around in Lucien's head as he stared up at the celling of his hospital room. Arceus damn. Why did he have to go and fuck up a festival of love by literally growing an inch and passing out backstage in the middle of it???? Why??? Did??? He have to be??? Some kind of fucking ???? Freak show beanpole with no end in sight????? The ceiling can't stop him and nobody can??? Uuuuuuuugggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh. ARRGGGHHHH.
His phone buzzed on the small table attached to his bed, and Lucien shifted to grab it. A series of text messages in numerous chats were all concerned for him and had been for the last hour or two that he'd been there, but he'd keep reassuring them that he'd be fine, just fine. It hadn't been a hard fall. He'd just blacked out for a bit. No, he hadn't been drinking. No, he hadn't been doing drugs. Yes, he literally grew an inch apparently according to his newest medical records. Ugh. No don't type 'hahaha' at him right now? This wasn't funny?
"Mr. Benoit?" A nurse's voice caught Lucien's ears, and his eyes flashed to her. "There's someone here to see you."
"Oh, alright, sure send 'em back," Lucien snorted softly. Whoever it was would get a big ol' laugh at him splayed out in a hospital bed almost too small for him, propped up by a slight incline and several pillows. There was a wire tracking his heart rate, but it seemed pretty normal. Even the blow he'd sustained to his head wasn't worth bandaging at the moment, heh. Ah well.

The boy who entered just after the nurse left was a blubbering mess, eyes puffy and wet and even redder than usual, the rest of his face not far behind in shade. "H-h-- hey! Sorry I just... had to make sure you were really okay. I'd have been here sooner but mom--" His mouth clamped shut, and he shook his head. He wasn't here to ramble about what mom had been like toward contests since his November win, he was here to focus on Luci.
Okay, breathe Seraph, he said he was fine and he... looked like a bit of a mess but still. "Are you sure you're okay??"

Lucien fidgeted slightly on seeing who it was. Oh shit, right, Seraph had been at the contest and- Fuck? He hoped he hadn't messed him up? He didn't actually remember if he'd seen him go or- "Y-yeah 'M ok," he reassured on instinct. "Kinda hurtin' 'ere 'n there but…" He made about as silly an expression as he could and shrugged his shoulders weakly. "Could be worse, yeh?" He could have like… passed out and fallen down a flight of stairs or on stage or any number of bullshit things that would have left him more marked up than he was. No, this was just kind of frustrating, actually. "Ah didn't mess up yer performance did I?" Cause clearly Lucien had Priorities.

Seraph bit his lip, looking on in concern, but then slowly shook his head. "No... I didn't hear til after..." Or maybe it didn't happen til after? Seraph hadn't been able to get a straight answer on how long it had been since Lucien passed out, only how long since they'd hauled him off to the hospital.
"...So you really just...." He'd already gotten this answer via texts and he was sure Luci was tired of giving it but he still had to ask. "Grew? Just all of a sudden..?" Not like he was accusing Luci of lying, it just sounded really fake... Maybe if there was something else he'd be more likely to admit it in person, in private?

A slow sigh escaped from Lucien. Good, good. Seraph didn't get disrupted then at least. That was great news. He'd have been pissed if he had. The question thereafter, however, had him raising both arms up at the elbows before dropping them dramatically to the side. "Dat's what tha doctors say," he answered rather bitterly. "Jus' fuckin' grew 'n inch 'r somethin'. Apparently ya grow when yer sleepin' but I 'aven't been sleepin' enough or some shit." Rawr. His forearms and hands beat at his bed dramatically even though it was clear from his pulse that it was mellow drama at best.
"It hurts…" Lucien bit back another genuine complaint or two threatening to bubble up. "Ah'm tired 'f growin'." Nope, there it is coming out anyways.

Seraph frowned. Well get more sleep then ran through his head, but he had enough tact to realize that would not actually be helpful. No sense shaming him for coulda shoulda stuff now, right? He tried to force a brief smile when it was clear Lucien was being Dramatic, but... heh. A little hard to be too amused when his favorite cousin was in pain.
It hurts... "I'm sorry..." he mumbled softly. Ah'm tired 'f growin'. One corner of Seraph's mouth ticked up slightly. "I'd take a couple inches off your hands if I could," he half-teased. "Or, probably not your hands. That'd be weird. Probably your legs." He forced a vaguely cheesy grin.
As it fell, he realized aloud, "..Sorry I didn't think to bring you anything. Is there anything you want?"

A soft but genuine snicker escaped from Lucien as Seraph spoke. Shit. If he could just donate height to the short dudes of the world, he would at this rate. The commentary afterwards, however, had him sighing softly. "A hospital date?" he half-joked with a smaller laugh. "Er… a'tually…" he shifted a little and rolled onto one side. Ow, maybe he should not have actually done that heh. Maybe just…. roll back down and ow fuck that hurt too, heh. "Before like later, c'n ya bring mah pillow fr'm home- n'd-maybe-one-'ftha-plushes-ahn-my-bed…" He paused grinning toothily, reaching up to ruffle his own yellow locks. Yeah he was… clearly joking sure hahahahha.

Seraph wasn't quite sure whether to laugh at the date request, but quietly and hesitantly echoed Lucien regardless. He started to open his mouth after, but stopped when he heard 'a'tually'. Oh-- He reached out as if to help, wincing as Lucien looked so in pain, but realized he didn't really know what he expected to do.
"Uh... Y-yeah!" He didn't have a teleporter, but the ranch was pretty close and Tourmaline could easily carry him back and forth. "Which plush do you want?" If it was a joke, Seraph hadn't seemed to quite pick up on that. It sounded totally reasonable to want something comforting from home at a time like this, poor Luci. 8c
"--Er, before I forget I might be able to help with the date thing, too? That girl Sera's been in the waiting room. She said she didn't mind me seeing you first given family, but if you're up for seeing her I could let her know? 'Course if you're tired that's fine, or if your relationship's more like, contest-professional and she's secretly crazy I'll protect you and junk." Seraph flashed a cheesy grin of his own and struck a mock-heroic pose.

All at once Luci was glad and vaguely embarrassed Seraph had taken him seriously. W-well, actually, yeah, he totally wanted both b-but he wasn't a baby anymore but…. Ehahahaha. "Tha-" He started but stopped as Seraph went on.
Sera's been in the waiting room? He… ah… would have thought she'd left by now but realized he really didn't have a good reason why he thought so but just oh. If she's secretly crazy I'll protect you and junk- A sharp snort broke down into some softer snickers, and even with his back aching from this, Lucien couldn't help but grin a bit. "Ah yeah… s'e's…" A really good friend. A hell of a lover. Also, technically Niso fucking Konto's girl?? But???? Uhmph. Uhm???
Lucien couldn't actually explain why he switched to Kalosian right after that. There was no one around to hear, or at least no extra ears, but… "Like a bestie I guess…" It was… weird to his own ears… weird to his feelings. A small, goofy smile pulled on Lucien's features regardless.

Like a bestie I guess... Seraph blinked at those words, taking what he felt was probably way too long to process them. That... sounded so nice...? Wow he... had thought of his Ranger team back in Johto as family, wanted to be close again to his actual family, wanted so desperately to reconnect with Tommy, but... He hadn't... really had "a bestie" since he was 10, had he? He didn't even know if this feeling now was jealousy or just being really bummed, but it wasn't something he liked feeling toward Lucien whoops.
Pasting on a smile, he replied, mirroring Lucien's Kalosian, "That's great to hear. Ah, I'll just text her then." He was already doing that as he spoke.
Once done, he debated whether to go ahead and get that plush or not. "Was there anything else I could get you? Snacks?" ... He smirked. "I hear coffee stunts your growth. Or maybe some bricks to put on your head~?"

Lucien probably should have caught the shift in Seraph’s aura, the discrepancy between that and his face, but these meds were kinda maybe doing something to his head and ahhh hahahah yeah. Instead, he took that smile and those words at face value. “Alrighteh,” he answered back briefly.
At the question, though, he paused again considering if he really… needed anything at all. The joke about coffee had him snorting and grinning a little before letting his features fall again. “Ah guess jus’ snacks ‘n tha pillows ‘n stuff,” he answered. “Ah… may text ya ‘f anything else comes to mind.” Some vague burden-y feelings came and went, but of those in the family, Seraph made him feel like the least of one heh. “That ok?” Oh, maybe not or something hah.

Seraph nodded. "Yeah. No sweat." He really didn't mind at all; if anything he wished he knew how to be more useful at a time like this. Should he go asap though or maybe stay a bit--
"LUCI." Seraph jumped a bit at the voice despite fully expecting she'd be coming. Or, well, he guessed she got up here faster than expected? He guessed he couldn't blame her for being eager to-- aaand she had somehow already made it across the room and past Seraph to lean in and kiss Lucien. That looked rougher than necessary and Seraph winced for multiple reasons.
Sera herself realized it, too, though, and quickly gave Luci an apologetically sheepish smile. "Ih-- sorry." She giggled nervously. "Don't scare me like that, though. I can only deal with one cute dork seriously injuring himself and I don't think he'd appreciate you muscling in on that territory," she teased, giving him a silly grin.
Seraph was really confused, but??? Okay? With no additional context she'd guess her boyfriend or a mutual friend or maybe one of their Pokemon was really accident prone but something still felt a little off about it... Oh well? Uh... He'd wait here just a moment more just in case but probably head out soon since she was here to keep him company? Yeah.
