★— ⋆｡˚ [Things Missed]

For Day 26 of Carry on Countdown 23, Angst @carryon-countdown

Basil's finally ready to talk about the accident and Simon's there to listen, of course he is, he's not about to walk away.

Rated T for themes, language, & trauma talk.

This is part four of the Nurse/Lawyer AU. Just one more to go - I hope you enjoy. 🖤 [Part 1][Part 2][Part 3]

⋆｡˚ BAZ

Some days, I really miss the hours spent feeling my fingers stretched over the neck of my violin, plucking swiftly over the strings. I miss the feeling of the bowstrings reverberating noise under my strokes, the effortful, emotive playing that pushed me to sweat with effort. I even miss sitting my chin over the chinrest and just holding position in anticipation of playing.

I can still play, beautifully even, but I’m not the soloist I once was. I might have been playing sonatas in music halls across all of Europe at one point. I was good enough, I was more than good enough. I can’t do that now.

I usually manage ten to fifteen minutes before my bow hand starts shaking and my neck’s screaming for relief. Oh, there are workarounds, sure. I’ve tried the extended neck braces that eliminate the need for the chin rest. I’ve used the mobility bows that have the wrist straps, removing the need for my grip entirely. It’s just not the same though.

I had fifteen years of playing before the accident happened. It was a lifetime of habits I had needed to unlearn and repackage and… it’s not that I couldn’t have gotten to my old skill level with enough time, enough practice, but… I started to hate playing. I don’t want to hate playing, but every time I’d fuck up a simple chord progression or hit a note wrong or fumble due to relearning, that feeling would surge up inside of me. My body still wanted to play the way it knew best, and I still wanted to let it, and every time that urge clashed with the need to relearn it would put me back a whole day, sometimes more.

It hit a point where even just thinking about practicing would make me nauseous and angry, so I just stopped. I don’t want to hate playing. I love my violin. I focused on my physical therapy instead. I went to therapy. I got to the point where I am now and I changed course.

I switched to law school.

I cried a week over the decision and I had to speedrun undergrad but overall I’m better for it. I don’t hate my grandfather’s violin every time I look at it. I don’t feel frustrated just existing in a room with it. I don’t get jealous of other violinists who play half as well as I do for having just the slightest mobility advantage over me.

I can hold my bow again, position my violin and play my heart out for a full ten minutes without dropping anything or shaking and botching my play. I might not be able to do some of the more complicated pieces I once did, but what I can play, I play perfectly, just the way I remember, just the way I like. For ten whole minutes, it’s like I’m no different than I ever was, and I find that beauty I make in music and let my violin sing for me. She’s my oldest friend. I can’t hate her.

When Simon first hears me play, it’s a bit of an accident. I don’t really play for people anymore, since I can’t play long and sometimes I have to conclude a piece early when I start to feel my body react, so of course it’s a bit of an accident. It’s just my sisters I play for when I play for people now. Otherwise, it’s just me. I play alone and let myself have my memories of what once was and I put her down to reminisce another day. We share a peaceful relationship, an old friendship, but it’s not something I feel most people particularly need to witness. I aim to play alone.

It’s not that Simon doesn’t know I still play, he does, I’ve told him. Besides, she’s seen the violin, she’s seen me rosin the bow and tune my instrument. She got me a custom rosin case for it for my birthday, the very first we’d spent together— Simon is more than aware that I still play.

it just feels intimate in a way I haven’t quite been ready to share. Fifty-fifty odds I’ll cry at the end, or even halfway through. I like Simon seeing me strong, confident, and maybe a little cocky. I’ve been vulnerable, of course, I met him freshly stabbed and all, but this is a different thing.

So it’s a bit of an accident. Simon's been stateside for a friend’s wedding— she’d been her best mate in school— and I’m not expecting him home that day, let alone these ten minutes of the day I’ve chosen to play. I could've gone to the wedding with him, but I thought maybe meeting someone the week of their wedding might be a bit presumptive of me, especially with our relationship being fairly recent. Besides, the caseload at work’s been busy and I’d’ve had to fly separately, Simon's invested in his tickets an era ago and I don’t particularly want to fly over the Atlantic alone. I’ve offered to take Penny and her husband-to-be on a cruise together at some later date and we can get to know each other then, when they’re not so busy with pre-wedding and during-wedding and post-wedding.

Simon tumbles through the door about two minutes after I’ve started but I don’t hear him. He’s still at the door when I finish. Thirteen minutes later. I can feel my hand aching a little but my neck’s doing alright, so I’ll take that as a good day. I blink over at Simon, realizing he’s really there as I carefully settle my violin back into her stand.

“You play beautifully,” Simon says as she closes the door, “I didn’t mean to interrupt.”

I blink back the way ears in my eyes. It takes me a minute to find my words, but I shake my head to tell him that he hadn’t. I find my confidence and breath and ultimately find it’s not uncomfortable for me to have Simon seeing me play. That’s a relief. Unsurprising, ultimately, but no less a relief. “You’re early?”

“Ah, yeah,” Simon answers as she kicks off her shoes. I’m already moving to help with his bags while he explains, “Pen’s already on honeymoon and originally I’d wanted to stay over to see some sights but I just missed you so I checked to see if I could catch an earlier flight and here I am.” She does a silly little wave of her hands and it makes me impossibly bloody fond.

“You missed me that much?” There’s a touch of teasing there and Simon punches my arm for it, but he doesn’t use any strength to do it, and just sort of scrunches his nose in annoyance.

“Of bloody course I did, you prick. It’s been a whole week already…”

I hum as I follow Simon to our room, helping him unpack when we get there. I pause to nudge his side and when he turns my way I catch him in a kiss. “I missed you too.”

It’s an easy admission. “Of course you did,” Simon says it like it’s obvious.

it is obvious.

We work through unpacking him in relative silence, a companionable quiet that tells me both how tired he is and how happy he is just to be home. I’ll ask him all about everything after he’s gotten some sleep in him, reset properly from the jetlag over some food. I’m just as happy to have Simon home again too. I missed existing with her the last week.

“I’ll let you hear me play again,” I say apropos of nothing, except I can still hear those words in my head. You play beautifully.

I know I do. Or I knew I did.

The declaration stops Simon midway from tossing his dirty wash in our hamper, but only for a moment. “Yeah?”

“Yeah, whenever I play next.” It’ll be tomorrow. I play almost every day, so long as it’s not a snow day.

“I’d like that,” He answers with a soft smile, “I’d like it a lot.”

I love this about Simon. He’s just so bloody understanding. I don’t understand how he doesn’t press or complicate or assume anything. We just finish getting through his unpacking and collapse into our bed and cuddle close.

I think he’s fallen asleep already when his voice catches me off guard, but maybe I’d been the one closer to sleep. “Are you gonna tell me about it?”

“Not tonight,” I know exactly what he means without asking, “But soon, probably. After you tell me all about how the wedding went.”

Simon hums and snuggles in closer and I melt around him, letting myself relax with him, letting myself feel how much I missed him. I can feel Simon melting in my arms too. I’m too tired for anything else, he’s too tired for anything else, and it’s so bloody easy for us to fall asleep like that, tangled up in one another.

⋆｡˚ SIMON

He doesn’t tell me the next morning, not after all the talking I can manage on Pen’s ceremony and dress and everything. It’s a lazy morning. He called in to work from home (“No court days?” “No court days.”) and we slept in and stayed in bed hours longer and I still had three whole more days off work. I’m not in any rush to find out, I’m just happy I’ve gotten to hear him play now.

I ramble on and on about the States and everything that I’d missed about home and weird little language differences and all the things Pen had gone on about herself during our downtime. I think Baz might know her better than he thinks with how much I talk about her, but I’m not mad he didn’t come with me. I just missed him.

I don’t ask. I don’t need to ask. He’ll tell me when he’s ready.

I’m happy to linger in lazy mornings like this forever, if he’ll be here with me for them.

⋆｡˚ BAZ

I keep thinking I’m going to tell her, and then I don’t. I keep thinking I should bring it up, but then I don’t. It’s just such a bloody happy day and I’m such a greedy, selfish sap. I want to keep it a happy day. We deserve more happy, lazy days.

I do play my violin for him, just like I’d said I would. I only just make it through about eight minutes today, but Simon smiles so beautifully for such a simple piece.

I’m going to tell him, I know it, just not today. Today I want to keep his smile just like it was when he woke up, refreshed and comfortable after a week out of our bed. I want to keep her just like this forever.

⋆｡˚ SIMON

It’s about two weeks later when Basil wakes up in a cold sweat next to me. It’s not the first time I’ve witnessed his night terrors, we’ve lived together far too long by now for me not to be at least a little familiar with them, but normally he goes through the motions quickly enough that I barely have time to comfort at all. This time must’ve been particularly visceral. I sit up beside him and he still hasn’t budged an inch, except to curl in on himself. I touch carefully, brushing my fingers through his thick, dark hair, brushing his bangs aside so they don’t stick to his sweat-slick skin and hum.

I hum whatever he’d played me last. Something by Bach, I think, but I’m not good at classical music. I am learning, a little, but I still can’t tell Beethoven from the Greatest Showman and apparently the latter is a musical, not a classical composition. I’m learning. Baz smiles whenever I get something right.

He unwinds enough to roll himself over and into my arms and I wrap him up like I’m a security blanket made just for him.

“Bloody nightmares…” His voice comes out in rasp, dry and angry, but I don’t push, I just hold him like that until he stops shaking, until his breathing settles out against my chest.

I glance at the clock. Twelve more hours till work. I can nap after this all settles if I need more sleep. I have time. “Think you can sleep again?” I ask it as gently as I can manage.

Baz shakes his head against my chest, but it’s alright, I just keep humming while he sinks deeper into my arms and the tangle of blankets around us. If there was less time, I’d even call out, but there’s plenty of time.

“I think I want to talk about it.”

⋆｡˚ BAZ

I’ve surprised him, I can tell. His mouth is doing that little ‘oh’ thing that she only does when she’s caught off guard. Maybe that’s fair, I haven’t talked about for long enough that maybe she was never truly expecting me to, but I have wanted to.

⋆｡˚ SIMON

He presses a kiss to the hollow of my throat and it brings me back to my senses enough to encourage him to keep going. “If you’re ready.”

Basil hums again and nods along, “I’m ready.”

I press a kiss to his temple and wait. I have time. I can always wait where Baz is concerned, but he doesn’t make me wait long. It spills out in chunks, but I fill in the blanks well enough. Trauma’s like that, I know, sometimes memories just don’t come back clean.

⋆｡˚ BAZ

I was twenty when it happened. It was winter break and I was driving back home for the holidays. The road had been slick from the storm but it was only a four hour drive, a little longer if I went easy, and I always go easy when I need to. So I’m headed home and thinking about what to get my sisters in the meanwhile and not at all worried about the process of getting there.

Of course, it was never me I had to worry about. A truck twice the size of my little Beetle comes hurtling down the opposite side of the road at a good twice my speed. It must’ve started hydroplaning at the exact right moment to cause him to swerve right into me.

There’s no time to react, no time to brake or swerve or anything at all.

There’s only the truck’s blinding headlights on a collision course straight for me.

I can still feel the hear the sound of the metal crunching together in front of me. I can still feel the pressure of the airbag going off against my face, against my hands. The way my arm had hit the center dash and turned blue almost immediately. The whiplash from my head flinging back so suddenly, the wrongness in my neck.

Simon’s petting through my hair as he listens to me, taking everything in, kissing my forehead again, and then pulling back enough to pull my hands up to kiss them too. She’s patient through it all and it’s not until the lull in my story that I realize I’ve been crying. Just a little. Just quietly while I go through it.

I lose myself in the realization for a moment, thoughts dissipating into nothing. I’m not sure where I was in the story, or where to pick up, it’s just all sort of a blur anyway. I let myself have my tears about and Simon, my sweet Simon, kisses my tears away and holds me closer through it.

“Is that what your nightmares are about?” Simon asks when my tears start to slow and I’ve worked myself further out of that ball of stress.

“No,” I answer, and it feels a bit silly, but also not at all. “My nightmares are… they’re about the first time I picked up my grandfather’s violin, after I’d supposedly healed enough to try again, and I dropped it.”

⋆｡˚ SIMON

Baz chokes when he confesses it, loses his voice halfway through the word dropped, but his mouth still forms the word it. My skill in lipreading fills in that blank too. “You don’t have to say more if you don’t want to, you know. It’s okay to be done talking.”

He hums low and shifts our hold so he’s more holding me now, wrapping his legs around mine and practically clinging. I don’t bother to resist. I don’t mind comforting him like this either. It’s plenty comfortable in Baz’s arms too.

“I don’t think there’s much else to say,” Baz breathes out when he finds his voice again, “If there is I can’t recall right now.”

I nuzzle his chest and tangle us up that much more thoroughly. “It’s alright, love… if you want to talk more later, I’m always here for you, alright?”

“Alright.”

“I love you.”

⋆｡˚ BAZ

Simon quiets in my arms after that and I can feel my exhaustion creeping up again. I press a kiss to her temple and let my thoughts drift away from my nightmares, from my spotty memories, from the little Volvo I had once loved so much. I suppose it saved my life that day, gave it’s own for me. If cars have souls, I hope it's thriving somewhere.

I let myself drift to thoughts of Simon, of our life. Of the time we’ve had together so far, of the time we’re going to have together. I think of his soft hair and softer marshmallow scent. I thought it was a perfume or cologne at first, but no. That’s just Simon, sugary sweet.

“Hey, Simon?”

She murmurs her own soft, unintelligible acknowledgment against my chest and I can tell from the weight of him that she’s drifting back off already.

“Thank you,” I say into the mess of her hair and she makes a happy little noise. Her own of course, anytime, always, without the mess of words. She makes me so bloody soft, so bloody comfortable. “I love you too.”

Simon’s little noise repeats itself and I can feel a smile crack my lips, just a little bit even after all the emotions thinking about the accident can give me.

“Rest well, love,” my words fall soft and Simon’s already gone, and I think I can manage the same. I think, probably, without dreaming terrible things all over again.

Things you must follow after motorcycle accident in Dallas

Riding a motorcycle can be an exciting and exhilarating experience, but it also comes with risks. In the event of a motorcycle accident, it is important to know what steps to take to protect your legal rights and ensure your physical and financial recovery. This article will provide an overview of the things you must follow after a motorcycle accident in Dallas, and why it is important to hire a motorcycle accident attorney Dallas to represent you.

Step 1: Seek Medical Attention

The first and most important step after a motorcycle accident is to seek medical attention. Even if you do not feel injured, it is still important to get checked out by a doctor. Some injuries may not show symptoms right away, and delaying medical treatment can result in serious complications down the line. Additionally, seeking medical attention will create a record of your injuries, which will be important later on if you decide to pursue legal action.

Step 2: Document the Accident Scene

After seeking medical attention, it is important to document the accident scene as much as possible. This includes taking photos of the damage to your motorcycle, the other vehicle involved, and any injuries you sustained. If there were any witnesses to the accident, try to get their contact information as well. All of this documentation can be useful evidence later on if you decide to pursue legal action.

Step 3: Report the Accident to Your Insurance Company

You should also report the accident to your insurance company as soon as possible. Be honest and detailed in your account of what happened, and provide any documentation you have, such as photos or witness statements. It is important to remember that insurance companies are not on your side, and may try to offer you a settlement that is less than what you deserve. This is why it is important to have an experienced motorcycle accident attorney Dallas on your side.

Step 4: Do Not Admit Fault

It is important to never admit fault after a motorcycle accident, even if you think you may have been partially responsible. Admitting fault can hurt your chances of receiving compensation later on, and may even result in criminal charges if the accident was severe. Instead, stick to the facts of what happened, and let your attorney handle any legal negotiations.

Step 5: Contact a Motorcycle Accident Attorney Dallas

If you were injured in a motorcycle accident in Dallas, it is crucial to hire a Personal Injury Lawyers Dallas as soon as possible. A qualified attorney can help you navigate the complicated legal process, negotiate with insurance companies, and fight for the compensation you deserve. Your attorney will also be able to represent you in court if necessary, and provide guidance and support throughout the entire process.

Step 6: Keep Records of Your Expenses

After a motorcycle accident, you may be faced with a variety of expenses, such as medical bills, motorcycle repairs, and lost wages from time off work. It is important to keep detailed records of all of these expenses, as they may be included in your compensation package. Your attorney can help you determine what expenses are eligible for compensation, and ensure that you are properly reimbursed.

Step 7: Be Patient

Finally, it is important to be patient throughout the legal process. Resolving a motorcycle accident case can take months or even years, and it is important to not give up or settle for less than you deserve. Your attorney will be with you every step of the way, and will fight for your rights until a fair settlement is reached.

In conclusion, if you were involved in a motorcycle accident in Dallas, it is important to follow these steps to protect your legal rights and ensure your physical and financial recovery. Hiring a motorcycle accident attorney Dallas is particularly important, as they can provide the legal expertise and support you need to navigate the complex legal system. If you are in need of legal representation after a motorcycle accident, contact the experienced Personal Injury Lawyers Dallas.

How to choose the right medical malpractice lawyer

The journey to seek justice and compensation after experiencing a medical malpractice incident can be emotionally and mentally taxing. Often, the key to a successful outcome lies in choosing the right legal representative. A proficient medical malpractice lawyer not only understands the intricacies of the law but also empathizes with the pain and distress of the victims. Here's a comprehensive guide to help individuals select a lawyer who will effectively represent their case.

Begin with research: Before diving into the vast sea of legal representatives available, it's essential to do thorough research. Several online platforms provide ratings and reviews of lawyers. Reading reviews and testimonials from former clients can offer insights into a lawyer’s abilities and the satisfaction level of past clients. Furthermore, bar association websites can show if any complaints or disciplinary actions have been taken against the lawyer.

Experience matters: Medical malpractice is an area of law. It's imperative to look for lawyers who have a significant amount of experience in handling medical malpractice cases. They should have a proven track record of success in representing cases similar to the one in question. An experienced lawyer will be familiar with the medical terminologies, the nuances of medical law, and the various complexities that might arise during the case.

Assess their communication skills: Effective communication is vital. An individual should feel comfortable discussing their case and concerns with their lawyer. The lawyer should be patient and willing to explain the various facets of the case in terms that are understandable to someone without a legal background. Their ability to communicate will be crucial during court proceedings and in negotiations with other parties.

Understand their fee structure: Lawyers often operate on a contingency fee basis when it comes to medical malpractice cases. This means they only get paid if they win the case or manage to get a settlement for the client. It's essential to understand the percentage they will take as their fee and if any other costs might arise during the litigation process. A clear understanding of the financial aspect can prevent any unwelcome surprises down the road.

Consider their resources: Medical malpractice cases often require testimonials from medical professionals, witnesses, and sometimes, independent medical examinations. A lawyer who has access to a network of medical professionals and witnesses can significantly strengthen a case. They should also have the resources to investigate the claim thoroughly, gather all necessary evidence, and prepare a compelling case for their client.

Ask about their approach to trial: Not all medical malpractice cases go to trial; many are settled out of court. However, it's crucial to understand a lawyer’s approach to taking a case to court. Some lawyers might prefer to settle, while others will be ready to go to trial if they believe it will benefit their client. Knowing their stance will help in making an informed decision.

Schedule a consultation: After narrowing down the choices, it's wise to schedule a face-to-face consultation. This meeting can provide a deeper understanding of the lawyer’s approach, their level of dedication, and their willingness to take on the case. It also offers an opportunity to ask any lingering questions and clarify any doubts.

Trust instincts: Beyond the experience and qualifications, it's essential to trust personal instincts. If something feels off or if there's a lack of trust or comfort, it might be a sign to continue the search. The lawyer-client relationship is built on trust, and it's vital to feel assured and confident in the choice.

In conclusion, choosing the right medical malpractice lawyer is crucial in ensuring that justice is served and compensation is obtained. By following the guidelines mentioned above and by being diligent in the selection process, individuals can increase their chances of finding a lawyer who will work tirelessly on their behalf. It's a decision that requires careful consideration, time, and research. With the right legal representation, the journey to justice becomes smoother and more navigable.
