As soon as he felt the sharp blade was on his left shoulder, Rick fells down to the ground and pass out, only seeing the sky faded before him. He thought he would never make it, he even saw the bright light in front of his eyes. But as soon as he slowly opens his eyes, he finds himself lying in bed, wondering what had happened back there.

As he comes through his mind, he realized he is in the field hospital with nurses running around, trying their hardest to take care of those who are injured. Suddenly, he felt the pain again, but this time it was a little pinch on his shoulder.

He turns his head to the left to see Floyd Lawton on his side, stitching up his wound. Rick was confused and thought he's hallucinating.

Rick, mumbling: Floyd, is...that you?

Floyd surprised: oh, you finally awake. That's surprising.

Rick: Floyd...what happened back there?

Floyd: well, as soon as you pass out, I rushed in to save you while the squad were all shock by it.

Rick: Damn, how big is the blade?

Floyd: well, too big that it almost went too deeper into your shoulder. Hell, it even makes a huge cut around your shoulder.

Rick: Jesus Christ, no wonder I fell unconscious in the battlefield.

Floyd: I know, you were bleeding everywhere in your arm.

Rick: Yeah, but may I ask...why did you save me? I mean, you could've just left alone as I die alone, right?

Floyd, deep breath: well, you may not know this but...I secretly love you...

Rick: You...love...me...why?

Floyd: It...because that...I want to protect you and all. I really want to take care of you and your wellbeing. I just...can't...forgive myself for not pushing you aside back there so you wouldn't take a hit from the blade. I'm...sorry...

Rick: That's okay, Floyd. At least you're here to mend my wound.

Floyd: No problem, darling.

Floyd then leans in and kiss Rick's forehead with a peck, saying what Rick could only hear was, "Please, be safe." Which make Rick blushes.

As soon as Floyd went back on stitching up the wound, the nurse was standing still with the tray of medicines on her hand, blushing real hard on the sight of a man kissing another man. She then puts down down the medicines on the side, apologising as she went off, still blushing.

Rick didn't mind that, except that the nurse had a wolf quality to her, including big ears, massive paw-like hands, sharp teeth and a bunch of fluffy tails he could count in them of her departure.

Rick, curious: Floyd, why is the nurse wolf?

Floyd, straight-forward: oh, don't worry about that, Rick. Just relax as I mend your wound okay?

Rick, closes his eyes: alright...
