He disliked leaving Otto alone in the front waiting area while he was taken back behind the curtains. The infirmary smelled of antiseptic and bandages, and it was never a particularly appealing place to go, regardless if one was actually in it or just visiting.
Chance found himself ushered to a bed, first to just give him a quick once over, and then for him to actually rest, in spite of his protests. They tried to tug the cuff off, but it seemed resistant to move, the gold spindling its way over his skin.
"Well, we can't do much about it except try and knock you out until it's over," said the nurse on duty, who looked just about as thrilled to be there as Chance was, eyebrows drawn together as she stared down at him. "I mean, kinda stupid that you're here in the first place - "
"Yes, thank you, I know."
" - but for now, we'll just knock you out."
She reached out and pushed Chance, none too gently, back onto the bed, where he fell with a wheeze. An impatient wave was gestured back to Otto as the nurse disappeared to find the supplies needed.
"You can come see him, he'll be fine after some rest."

Otto meandered over once he was allowed. "More rest, huh?" Chance's lucky day. But seeing as it was the infirmary, he'd likely at least get something to aid in the knocking out part.

"Yeah, well," Chance grumbled, shifting a little. He'd been forced into one of the ridiculous hospital gowns, and it itched unpleasantly. "They said they're gonna keep me here til it wears off, but I at least get to be put to sleep again."
The nurse came bustling back, needle in hand, her fingers tapping it expertly. Chance's expression became one of wary resignation as he turned his arm over and his face away, squeezing his eyes shut for the inevitable p***k.
He just barely managed to bite back the shout of pain that threatened to overflow as the needle was jabbed into his arm, Chance swallowing it back through gritted teeth, his face pale, blinking rapidly to dispel the fuzziness in his eyes. The nurse just gave him a look and tugged on the curtains, closing them around his bed and Otto to give him privacy.
And then it was quiet. Chance's arm throbbed. He glanced up at Otto, a faint smile on his face.
"You don't have to stay," he said, a little thickly, because he could feel the warmth of the medicine start to wind its way through his veins. "It's gonna be boring as hell, since I'll be asleep, but I'll text you when I'm awake again, if that's all right?"

Ah s**t. Needles were never fun to begin with. But a needle while Chance was hyper sensitive to pain? Otto couldn't do much but be there while he endured it like a boss, staying after the nurse left. He patted Chance's shoulder, a grimace on his face as he felt badly for the man. "I'll go once you're asleep." It would be cute and romantic to fall asleep in a chair beside him. However, Otto was often neither of those things. Rather, he was tired and planned to go back to his room and fall asleep watching Oil Drillers land on an asteroid and save Earth, while eating all the Cheatoes for himself. Sorry Chance. Your Not!Boyfriend is not very smooshy. He at least helped tuck Chance in some more, making sure he was cozy and warm. "Text me, for sure." He murmured. "Sorry about takin' you here. Just thought it'd be best.."

Fortunately for the both of them, Chance didn't expect Otto to be cute and romantic, and had already figured that he would go back to his room and relax. Sitting here would have served no purpose, after all, and it didn't particularly bother him, because Otto was Otto, and Chance liked him that way anyway.
He shifted a little on the bed, trying to get more comfortable. The medication was certainly helping, since his limbs felt heavy, his mind sluggish, and he appreciated Otto's attempts at tucking him in, since moving felt like a great deal of effort at present.
"Don't be sorry," Chance mumbled thickly, and his fingers fluttered up until they found Otto's hand. Sleepily, he dragged them to his lips and pressed a brief kiss before giving them a reassuring squeeze and letting go. "I'll be all right, really."
He hoped. Chance's eyes were already fluttering shut.
"See you in the morning, beautiful," he murmured, and with that, Chance was completely out.

"You better be." Otto grumbled, even after the soft gesture of Chance's lips on his fingers; a familiar action now he'd grown accustomed to from him. Chance finally fell asleep, and Otto stood there a long moment just to be sure. "Idiot." He grumbled at the sleeping man. Even with that said, he leaned down and gave the man a kiss. With that, Otto left to go watch Armageddon right from the beginning. His phone didn't leave his side. He fell asleep halfway through the movie.
