Martin Smythe, an OC, inna clinic at the moment, but put him in public if you like

Mar 23, 2007 10:56

Martin had been very surprised, in disbelief, really, when Mack came to fetch him and told him he had a VidCon call. He'd long since stopped waiting in the lobby during visiting hours for visitors that would never come. Connor would come see him once a week or so, but would always go directly back to his room to get him, or would call him on his ( Read more... )

"Martin?"

A warm smile over the vidcon link.

"How are you doing, my boy? It's been a while, to be sure."

Martin beams in shock and delight and clicks the second button.

"Robert! Oh, it's so good to hear from someone at home. I've missed you."

"Well, I wanted to be sure before I started filing the paperwork if you would want to see me. How are you doing, my dear?"

"I should love to see you, my dear Robert, I've really missed you and Pearl. Give her a kiss for me."

He takes a deep breath.

"I won't lie, it's been bad, but the pain is subsiding and I'm stepping down off the painkillers. How have you been?"

He sits in the waiting room for what feels like centuries (and he'd know, really). The book isn't turning out to be his cup of tea after all (and Mr. King had shown so much promise with the other novels he'd turned out) and the medical smell is slowly starting to bother him.

"Really, Mack, I promise, it's fine. Robert's a friend, and I feel very safe with him."

"This is your first day out, Martin, and we'd all feel a lot better if it was with a human. Why don't you call Connor to come get you?"

"Because Robert is already here, and I miss him, and he knows New York better than Connor does. Connor still doesn't like crowds."

"...All right. If you're certain. Page me if you need anything. And I mean anything"

"Yes, Mack, thank you."

And then Martin is running for the visitation with a huge smile plastered across his face.

"Robert!"

Robert smiles and stands, pulling Martin into a hug before kissing both cheeks and squeezing him again.

"Oh, you do look so much better than before you left," he says, sounding more happy than it's obvious he can convey through words. "It's so good to see you."

mm_ygrane March 24 2007, 00:55:26 UTC

"Oh, Robert, I missed you so much!"

He wraps all around his friend, shamelessly nuzzling into his neck.
