John's a terrible patient (so what else is new?), but Matt's just as stubborn. He's also sole arbiter of whether John's well enough to go back to work (current assessment: Hell no).
"I'll take aspirin, I swear." John's glassy-eyed promises mean nothing. Yesterday, he claimed to be Chinese.
Matt runs a damp cloth over John's face. "Give it time."
John sighs. "Keep the place safe?" he mumbles.
"Sure thing," Matt says. It and you.
He'll hang on until John's lucid and burning solely from the intensity that defines him.
After that, he'll make sure things between them really heat up.
