Bryce: Devin Gets Engaged, Mentally
Devin. Bryce thought. He tried to call out his name but his lips won’t move. He stayed there staring at him, trying to send a message that he was there. Devin looked different, he lost some weight and his hair lay flat on his head rather than waxed and up.
Belle had a slight shocked moment as she can’t stop but stare. “Can you please watch this guy for me? I really need to go to the ladies room.” Belle pleaded and didn’t even have to put a pouting face on because Devin said yes. Belle hugged him and hurried along.
Devin had a good look at Bryce, finally someone recognized him but it seemed that he didn’t as he walked towards the room trying to overhear the conversation that was going inside. Bryce tried to utter a word, tried to make any sound just to catch his attention, there was nothing. His throat felt dessert dry and so did the inside of his mouth but it was his lips that didn’t want to cooperate.
Bryce quickly heard the distinct sound of a weak hearth signature in the heart monitor coming from inside the room. The beeping was very slow and unstable. It was a good thing that the door was left with a slight opening where he heard a female voice talking by herself, but Bryce realized that it wasn’t just a female voice, it was his sister’s. He then tried harder to speak or to utter any word but it frustrated him that he wasn’t able to.
Even though Lavander talked in a faint voice, Bryce heard her like the wind was whispering anything she said into his ears. Everything else around him was loud but he focused on listening to what his sister had to say.
“You know when I first saw you, the moment you pointed your gun to my face, I thought you were a younger version of Mark Salling but instead of a Mohawk you have a military cut hair.” Lavander said, Bryce couldn’t help but notice that Devin was listening hardly with hands pressed against the wall as he went near the slight opening almost peeking.
“I think that was funny,” Lavander said then there was a small moment of silence followed by Devin’s heavy breathing, just him listening.
“When you said that you love me, you were the first thing that came into my mind not Devin,” Lavander said, “I’ve never felt that way before, you were dedicated, smooth and may I say irresistible.” She chuckled a little then stopped herself from it.
Bryce moved his sight to Devin whose head was tilted downwards with almost teary eyes, trying to show that he was not hurt at all, trying to save himself from the attention of people who stopped and stared. He crept closer to the door when Bryce’s sister spoke softer and listened some more.
“You had that smile that could light up my world, actually everyone in the room,” Lavander said. “When you laugh, I love how you keep it classy and not overdone. I just found that interesting about you.”
Bryce had no clue what was going on, he’d clearly been away for a long time to miss something big like that. The pumping of the patient’s heart grew weaker almost dying as he heard it directly from the patient’s chest. Small thumps that might have affected his breathing as well.
“I love how you made me feel safe whenever I’m with you, I really do.” His sister said then Devin’s heart was crushed even more as he was sniffing and rubbing a tear that escaped from his eye.
“Enzo,” Lavander softly whispered then Bryce recalled Enzo, the first purple they’ve met. He came out with a strong and influential personality and then there he was in a hospital with a weak heart that was close to dying. Different assumptions came to Bryce’s thoughts but none of them were quite sure yet. “Enzo,” she whispered again and Devin’s head was already inside the room trying to get a better look.
