"No, you were the one who had to stand and watch and that's even worse," he said, seriously. "I know it's hard, TJ. Not physically hard, but still hard." Considering how much TJ felt everything, he was even harder, and Travis understood that.
"Does unconsciousness count as sleep? Because I'm sure I passed out more than once." At times the pain had just become too much, and then there was always more pain that woke him up. Feeling someone touching your lungs was not a pleasant experience, and he wasn't sure he would have been able to lie still if it hadn't been for Troy's power.
Travis stared at TJ, watched him with a smile on his face. "I am okay, babe. I'm in pain. I will need training and tie to regain full lung capacity, but I'm okay Just remember that. I'm sorry I'm going to ruin your vacation," he said, with a little smile. "You'll just have to do that torture... I mean massage without me. I'm devastated that I won't get to do that."
He hummed. "Can you do anything? I'm pretty sure that you can kiss me and stop worrying that I'm going to disappear on you. Other than that...." He almost dismiss it out of hand, but he wasn't a masochist. "Can you do it?" he asked finally. "If you can do anything to minimize the pain, or even let me sleep, then yes, i want you to do it. I'm not going to be good for anyone like this anyway." Maybe he'd have to speak to Deeks about precautions for the house. He might like Doug and Maura, but if there was an attack, they'd be in serious trouble. "As long as you feel okay with doing it, then go ahead."
