Just on the verge of consciousness, Calvin can feel something scurrying up his arm. One of those rat-like creatures, he thinks immediately. He's seen what they can do and he flings his arm around wildly trying to get rid of it. His throat making frantic, terrified sounds
( ... )
NIck frowned softly and lens down resting his forehead against Cal's, the tears slipping down dropping onto his pale skin as Lorne wrapped his arms around him tightly holding on. "I saw you die." He whispered his voice hitching
Initially the words shock him and he can't react, can't think anything beyond what that must have been like. Whether he could have survived it if it had been Nick. But it also makes sense, makes the pieces fall into place and he urgently wants to embrace Nick back. To reassure him that he was here and alive and not leaving. But he's trapped by the restraints of the infirmary bed and by Nick's arms so he can barely move. He settles for relaxing under him and letting him have what he needs. He turns his head slightly so he can speak directly into Nick's ear, reducing the amount of effort needed. "Oh Nick," he starts, his voice soft and pained. "It's over now." It's all he can think to say.
He whimpers as Nick moves away. "Nick...please," he sighs in a broken voice as he tries to lift himself off the bed, following his lover. Despite the IV pain killers, a surge of pain strikes down his left arm as he leans on it and he winces, falling back to the bed.
Hey...shhh darling I'm just getting a chair." He whispered letting David have the one already by the bed. He moved and grabbed one from one of the other beds putting it by Cal's and sitting on it, esting his head on Cal's chest. He pressed a kiss on the skin before settling in and listening to his heart beat hugging one of Cal's arms close soothing the pain away kissing the finger tips and letting Cal's hand play in his hair
Calvin rests back on the bed. David's allowed himself to be pushed into the chair on the right and he reaches out a hand to grasp his, both of them resting in the younger man's lap. Nick gets back with the chair, and he relaxes even more. Surprised at the dexterity he still has in the fingers of his left hand, he runs them through Nick's thick hair.
Content, happy, safe. Emotions he'd long since given up on start to creep back in to his system and the last thing he thinks before he dozes off is how amazingly lucky he is.
