Zeph flexed his hands and hissed, his face twisting in pain as his arms jerked against his chest. He whimpered a little, blinking away tears.
"I could feed myself but it would really hurt and might defeat the purpose," he said softly, swallowing. The pain had almost made him gag... what had he been thinking?

Vincent looked on in concern, moving quickly toward a cabinet and searching through the bottles inside. He shook two small white pills out of a bottle of Tylenol, replaced the bottle and moved toward Zeph's bed, setting the pills down on the tray beside a glass of water.
"You look like you could use those. Extra strength," he smiled.

Zeph reached out to take them and flinched, hissing again. He licked his lips and looked at Jason, his eyes begging. His shoulders shifted as he tried to get up to a seated position, blanching as he tried to use his hands again. He closed his eyes, just holding very still. "Thank you Professor..."

Jason quickly picked up the glass of water in one hand and shifted Zeph to a sitting position with the other. He took the pills from Zeph's hand and gently placed them in the mage's mouth, putting the cup at his lips and tipping it to help him swallow them. His eyes were on his boyfriend's face the whole time.

Zeph accepted his help quietly, kissing him when Jason pulled the cup away. "Thank you... I..." he closed his eyes, unable to continue. "I am sorry... I don't know what I would do without you... and I swear I won't try to make you do the same."
A tear slid down his face, but his expression brightened a little and he looked at the tray again. "I'm sorry but I'm getting really hungry..."

Jason nodded quickly, picking up a forkful of some kind of salad and lifting it to Zeph's mouth. He fed his boyfriend carefully, one bite at a time, not caring at all how ridiculous he may have looked. Nothing else mattered as long as Zeph was alive and okay.

Zeph ate what Jason gave him carefully, chuckling a little. "The last time someone fed me was when I was too young to walk."
He smiled at his boyfriend, very carefully reaching up to brush a lock of hair from his eyes. "I can't close my hands... but it doesn't hurt too much to move my arms. I guess I really messed up the tendons in my wrists..."
The white bandage around his wrists made him wince again, and he slowly let his hand fall back to the bed. His eyes closed for a moment, in regret, in sorrow... He let them open again and smiled at Jason. He kissed his cheek, unsure of what was in the salad Jason was feeding him and not wanting to come close to risking making him ill after all he'd already done. "I owe you so much..."

"No, you don't," Jason whispered, kissing Zeph's forehead. "All I want is for you to be well. I love you so much... I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't pulled through..."
He ran his fingers though Zeph's hair, stroking his cheek. "But you did... and I couldn't be more grateful."

"There's nothing more I can offer you but the promise I won't ever do this again..." Zephyros said softly, giving him a gentle smile. His eyes almost closed and he shivered, his lips turning blue. "Jason... I'm cold."

Jason pressed close to Zeph, looking up at Professor Harrows. "There should be some extra blankets nearby... please..."
He watched the professor find them and bring them, then pulled them all over himself and Zeph. He shifted them a little, trying to compress the warmth into a coccoon, like a sleeping bag. "Is that okay, Zeph? It'll get a lot warmer with two of us in here..."

Zeph nodded, very carefully pulling Jason closer and putting his head on Jason's chest. His wrists hurt when he bent them to curl against Jason's back and he twitched, a soft gasp escaping him. How long was it going to HURT like this?
Not that he was allowed to complain, he admitted to himself. He'd done this, he was going to have to deal with the consequences. All of them. He needed to let Aramis rest, and pain wasn't going to...
He cut that thought off there. No, he was going to have to deal with them but he didn't have to torture himself as well. That was what had caused him to do this in the first place... though losing all that blood really seemed to have cleared his head. His eyes drifted closed, listening to Jason's heartbeat. He'd almost lost this... how could he have tried to leave this? He needed this... He needed Jason.
The warmth wrapped around him and dragged him into slumber. He resisted for a moment, then closed his eyes with a soft sigh. "I love you Jason..." he whispered, letting Jason's heartbeat lull him into slumber.

"I love you too," Jason whispered back, kissing Zeph's forehead. "Sleep well."
He lay quietly awake, content just to watch Zeph sleep. Now that the danger and the pallor of death were gone, the mage looked perfectly peaceful, if still a little pale. That would get better soon, though, Jason assured himself. Everything would get better from here.

Ian watched the entire exchange in silence. He had no more words to say. He simply wanted to be there for his friends - for that was what they were. Friends. What an odd concept. Friends. I have them.
"I think I'll be going." He said when Zeph had fallen asleep. "I don't think I'm needed to stay..." Then he turned and limped from the sick bay.
Life goes on. Ian told himself as he limped out. Tomorrow is a brand new day. And things can only go up from here.
