Kevin
Josh sighed, leaning back in his wheelchair and looking up at the sky. It was a beautiful day. Blue sky, bright sun, cool breeze (which was likely someone's doing) and lots of shade. He didn't know how long they'd been outside, but he was starting to get agitated.

He shifted uncomfortably, frowning slightly when it didn't relieve anything immediately.

	"Why?" Kevin snapped, glaring at the Agent. He was too tired and wrung out himself for any kind of deference. "Why can't you just leave him alone!? He already feels bad enough." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Kevin, difficult as this may be to believe, we have Josh's best interests at heart. We'd like to see him get better just as much as you. But we can't help him if we don't know everything we can about his condition." He turned back to Josh. "This isn't going to be any more uncomfortable than you are right now feeling 'the world'. You don't have control, Josh. We have to make sure you don't get hurt while your powers reassert themselves."

	"What do you mean, 'reassert themselves'?" he demanded with a disbelieving snort. "He was just...just puking his fucking guts out, if his powers were doing jack he sure wouldn't be doing that!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"If his powers weren't doing something he'd probably still be in a coma." He looked over his shoulder at Kevin. "I know this is stressful, but we have to monitor as much as we can in case, God forbid, this ever happens again." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kevin didn't know what to do. He couldn't make anything better, but from everything he'd seen so far neither could any of the doctors or nurses or healers or Agents, and what they were doing was upsetting Josh. It made him want to just chase them all out, no matter what they said about having his best interests at heart. Still shaking, he dropped his head to the bed near Josh's hip, hand still gripping his boyfriend's tightly.

"Just for two days," he bargained.

Josh looked up at him miserably. "Will it stop..." His hand waved again. "All the bothering?"

"Maybe. We'll see." He held one band up. "Can I?"

Josh sighed. Dejectedly, he nodded once.

"Thank you," the agent replied. He fastened the first band high on Josh's arm. "Just two days," he said, voice pitched to Kevin as he moved down to fasten the other about Josh's leg. "Kevin will remember for you, okay?"

	The only move Kevin made was to let go of Josh's hand when he jerked it away to wave it around again. Otherwise he leaned there, eyes closed and face pressed into the bedding. It wasn't like he could do a damned thing to help, though he did rock his head slightly in acknowledgment when he was told to keep track of the days. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"There's still bothering," Josh sulked when the agent stepped away. "I'll write that down," he assured him. "Oh." "Is it gone?" "Yes." He smiled up at the agent. "Good," he replied in a cheerful tone. "We'll see how well that keeps the bothering away, okay?" Josh nodded. "You two get some rest. Kevin, do you need help up?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He probably did. Fuck knew he couldn't get up on his own and he wasn't any kind of comfortable, all hunched over himself and the sharp ache where he wasn't quite healing after surgery. But moving sounded like more effort than he could be bothered with, and he just wanted to be near Josh.

"'m fine," he finally mumbled. "Just...shove the chair over?" Then he could just sit back into it and stay mostly where he was.

	The chair was dutifully shifted. Josh caught Kevin's hand, shifting in the bed until he could see him over the rail. "Hi," he said as the door closed, leaving them alone together once more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_touchless_ 2011-06-25 06:31 pm UTC (link)
	Kevin eased himself back, biting back a hiss of pain at the shift as he settled carefully into the chair. He squeezed Josh's hand gently and used his other hand to push himself back so he was mostly upright. "Hey." He managed something like a normal smile. "Better?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fatedtouch 2011-06-26 08:38 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." He sighed. "You?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_touchless_ 2011-06-26 05:06 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm okay," he answered. And it wasn't actually a lie, it was just only true for some very carefully and narrowly defined values of okay. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"No," he said. "You're not." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_touchless_ 2011-06-26 06:52 pm UTC (link)
	"'m just sore," he assured Josh, leaning awkwardly back in his chair to try and ease some of the ache deep in his side. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin squeezed his hand again, a little tighter. "You sure?" he asked quietly. "I don't...I don't want to hurt you." He wasn't quite shaking anymore, but it was a near thing and he was tense and worried after what had just happened. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fatedtouch 2011-06-26 07:13 pm UTC (link)
	"I want to sleep with you," he replied, giving his hand a little tug. "And I want to kiss you. And you're too far away." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_touchless_ 2011-06-26 07:25 pm UTC (link)
	He hesitated for a moment longer then lurched unsteadily to his feet. "Okay. If you're sure." He steadied himself on the edge of the bed and waited for Josh's final decision. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	fatedtouch 2011-06-26 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	Josh was nodding, and shuffling over as best he could manage. His right leg still refused to move, and with most of his upper body supporting his casted arm, moving on his own was difficult. But they had always been perfect together, Josh knew. So perfect even, they had been hurt on opposite sides so that parts of them still fit together just right. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Kevin used his grip on Josh's hand to help give him leverage to move, ignoring the way it made the ache spike into pain. It meant he could get closer, and as soon as there was enough space he clambered carefully onto the bed next to Josh, easing as close as he could get with a relieved sigh.

"I love you," he murmured, reaching for the blackout mask on the bedside table.

	"I love you too," he replied, wiggling closer, even though Kevin hadn't settled yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_touchless_ 2011-06-26 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	It was hard to tug the mask on one-handed, but he didn't want to let go of Josh's hand and he couldn't risk being this close without it on. So he tugged it awkwardly into place, the world-going dim and almost gray-scale, then leaned his head in close to Josh's. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Josh rolled as best he could, arm lifting slightly in an automatic reach for him. But Kevin was turning his head toward him anyway, and Josh managed to catch his mouth just fine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He'd probably never stop wondering what it would be like to really feel Josh's lips against his, but he'd definitely never stop wanting him any way he could have him. At least like this he could feel the warmth of him through the thin fabric, and the moist brush of his breath, and the fabric was loose enough that he could nip gently at Josh's lower lip as he rolled enough to settle a hand at his waist.
