Weird was grateful for Ansgar keeping Rex awake through jokes and conversation. He needed it as they were now at the hospital and being taken into the A and E department. Rex on a stretcher but still reaching out for Ansgar's hand.
"I love you, hairy drunken Dane."
The medics just smiled as they took the injured bassist into the scanning room where Rex would get a scan of his head with an MRI machine. Weird just putting a hand on the Dane's shoulder in support. It made a change that he didn't need to reach up because Ansgar was the same height as Weird, Gilly and Mick, compared to the other taller Scandinavians. Now all they had to do was wait in the waiting room for the results.
That I love you caused Ansgar to freeze and stare as they took Rex away. Then he panicked. His heart was hammering in his chest as he panicked. It was so much that when Weird touched his shoulder the Dane jumped.
Ansgar pulled away and started to pace around. Robert knew that look because he'd seen Rekker do that enough. Stress. He imagined that it couldn't be easy on the Dane who was drunk off his ass and flooded with adrenaline.
"Let's take a walk." Robert mentions when he sees the cafeteria sign. The Dane needs to burn off some of the energy and get something to hydrate him. Besides, they had Robert's phone number to call when the scan was done and they could be reunited with Rex. Robert glanced at Weird with sympathy and trying to support them.
Weird thought that taking a walk was a good idea and nodded at Robert's suggestion. Ansgar was still clearly in a state of shock and no surprising considering what had gone on. Poor Rex taking a crack on the head falling over drunk.
"He'll be ok. My brother is made of strong stuff."
The stoic bassist offering some support to the poor Dane. Rex admitting his love on top of what was going on must be too much for him. Robert was doing a good job as usual calming things down and being the caring man that he was.
Robert tried to encourage Ansgar to walk but the it was slow going. He could see Ansgar shaking.
The Dane was having such a meltdown because of injury in general. His own trauma in prison and the injuries to his little brother. In truth Ansgar was the most mentally fragile of the Soerens. This was simply too much.
Robert glanced over at Weird. "Why don't you go into the cafeteria and get a few things to eat for us, and some tea?"
That way Ansgar wasn't standing too long. The poor young man needed to sit.
Weird could tell Ansgar was having a hard time of it so would do his best to work with Robert to help the shaking Dane. Nodding to Robert, Weird did indeed start his walk to the cafeteria, getting some food and some tea for Ansgar and Robert. As for Rex? Weird knew his brother would be fine. It was just a gut feeling he had.
"Here. I got some food and some tea for you both. It'll be alright, Ansgar. My brother has taken worse falls than this and survived."
The bassist patting the man's shoulder in support while passing sandwiches and tea to Robert and the Dane.
Robert got Ansgar to sit in a booth in the cafeteria. The Dane couldn't sit still because of the agitation. Robert eventually put his arm around the Dane, stroking his back.
Robert offered Weird a thankful smile. "Why don't you have some tea?"
Robert slid the tea toward the Dane who immediately slid it away. He didn't want anything to drink. For awhile, he sat there nervously drumming his fingers before he spoke.
"Rik's father..." Ansgar's gaze turned down to the table. "Torden called me one day. He's bashed Mikkel's head in like this. I couldn't even go back to Denmark for him."
For Ansgar, it wasn't just the trauma of Rex hitting his head but trauma from the past pressing on him too. Robert frowned because the more he learned about what the Danes had gone through, the more he wanted to march to Denmark and give that man a piece of his mind.
Weird just shook his head with a frown. The trauma the young Danes had sustained was sickening, knowing that it was all committed by adults who preyed on mere boys. The bassist worried for his brother but knew Rex would be fine. As for Ansgar---he looked a total wreck.
"Bastards."
There was sheer rage in the Brit's eyes as he listened. Poor Mikkel getting his head bashed in by an abusive monster. Rik's own father. Fuck. If Robert would march to Denmark to kick up hell then Weird would march with him. Ansgar was Rex's love interest so that immediately made him family.

"Yes, even if you are a klutzy princess." Ansgar stroked his back while they drove to try and keep him awake.
