Ivan's little world in his room (special 28 attn. anyone)

Ivan looked into Dr. Vargas' eyes, then he hugged the Italian tightly, but not too tightly, he didn't want to hurt him. He burried his face to Feliciano's shoulder.

Feliciano held Ivan, rubbing his hair and patting his head gently, smiling at his patient. "You okay Ivan?"

Ivan nodded a bit slowly, his face still burried to the Italian's shoulder, starting to relax a bit.

"So warm....." He mumbled in Russian, and moved a bit closer if possible.

The Doctor cuddled with his patient in a manner many would deem unprofessional, comforting the cuteness that was this one of Ivan's personalities. "Yeah, I was outside earlier. We can go there after lunch if you want to."

Ivan nodded again, his eyes closed, and relaxed more in Dr. Vargas' arms. It felt so warm.
Ivan moved one hand to adjust his scarf a bit, and then returned it to be around Feliciano again.

Feliciano kept hold of Ivan, eating pasta as he did so. No use letting a wonderful thing go to waste right? But keeping his eyes on the clingy patient and holding him close with one arm.

It felt good to be like this. And warm. At least Ivan thought so. So he relaxed more, getting more comfortable, alrwady forgettig the nightmare.

By the time the doctor had finished his pasta his patient seemed like he'd fallen asleep in his arms. So Feliciano stayed where he was. He didn't want to disturb the other man while he slept, and Ivan was admittedly to large for the little Italian to carry. And the staff could be mean to the patients, so he wouldn't call one of them for help unless he was being attacked.

Ivan pretty much mumbled against the Italian:
"What are we going to do today...?"

"Well when you want to we could go out into the garden, sit out in the warmth by the flowers and talk."

"Sounds good....." Ivan said, his eyes still closed. Then he slowly sat straight and let go of the Italian, looking at the Doctor with half open eyes.

Feli helped his patient to his feet as the kitchen staff began to clear his stuff away. "The c'mon Ivan! Let's go!"

Ivan nodded a bit and then smiled slightly.

Feliciano took his hand leading him through security and out into the garden.

Ivan went along with Dr. Vargas, holding the Italian's hand.

He led Ivan over dirt paths, pointing happily when he spotted the sunflowers. "Those are the ones you like, right?"

Ivan smiled wider and happily when he saw the sunflowers, going to the right away like a kid who has just entered a candy store.

The doctor hung back a little, smiling and the patient and mentally patting himself on the back. It was so much fun to make other people smile. He wished all the patients were as easy to please as Ivan was on one of his good days.

Ivan was looking at sunflowers with a wide and happy smile on his face. He then crouched down, still looking at the flowers with a smile.

Feliciano sat on a conveniently located bench nearby, kicking his feet back and forth like a little kid even though he could touch the ground and was raising a cloud of dust. "We could put one of them in a pot and you could have it in your room Ivan. Then you wouldn't have to go long without seeing your favorite flower."

Ivan shook his head.
"Nyet. I don't want that. It would die pretty soon. They don't die so soon when they're outside here. Frowing in the ground."

"It won't die! We'd put it in a pot and give it water and soil, we could even get a sun lamp for it!"

Ivan shook his head again.
"It's not the same still. It would die anyway. It would live for a while, but it would die sooner than the ones that are outside. So it's not the same. Unless there isn't a nice weather. Then it would be different..."

"Alright Ivan. We'll leave them outside in the sun. And you know what, if therapy goes well long enough I might be able to get you moved to a room with a window~" Feliciano nodded to himself, and they wouldn't have to use total isolationism anymore. That was never as much fun. It would be better to give Ivan he ability to nap in the warm sunlight~

Ivan smiled a bit at the thought. It would be nice to be in a room with a window. It had been so long...
He then moved to sit next to Dr. Vargas after he had picked up a sunflower petal that had fallen to the ground.
