[Dan Heng's heart breaks a little when Blade says that. When the other man cradles his face, he lets him and rests a hand on top of one of them. His other arm is enough to support his boyfriend's weight. The dragon's expression is soft and tender, but also worried. He has more presence of mind to switch back to English, now, at least.]
Shhh. [He rests his forehead against Blade's, blue eyes meeting crimson.] That wasn't you. Okay? That wasn't.
[He stops speaking when he sees the nurse rushing in. The two of them help Blade back to his hospital bed and hook him back up, and then says the doctor will be by soon to talk to them. The nurse can read the room and tells them it's alright if Dan Heng climbs in as long as nothing gets yanked out. He thanks him and waits for the nurse to close the curtains before toeing off his shoes and carefully climbing in to lie down next to Blade on the hospital bed. It's barely big enough for them, but it's fine. The shorter man rests one hand on his partner's chest and the other comes up to stroke his long, soft hair.]
I'm sorry I hurt you, too.
[Mara's last words still ring in the back of his mind, but... he won't talk about it unless Blade brings it up. Or if his partner even remembers.]
