 Daren staid on the side of the bed and watched Timothy finish the cup of ice. "my chief ordered that i stay here for the night so i kind of have no choice." he didn't want to, but if it helped Timothy he'd stay. "i'm not going to be able to work for a while which means i can stay here with you as long as you need me to." he stroked some of Timothy's hair out of his face and smiled, "you are more than welcome, thank you for trusting me, even if it is only a little." he chuckled at that and looked around the room. it was meant to be a double but the other bed was empty and he doubted they would be putting another patient in here with how badly Tim had reacted to the doctors. he could probably speak to them and get them to let him stay here. "is there something you want or need? what can i do to make things easier for you?"

 Timothy didn't want him to stay, there was really no point, but Daren said his chief ordered him to and he sighed, somewhat thankful for that. "If you were ordered to stay you can't really go against it." he murmured, lifting up his blankets and looking at the other as he tried to get cozy. His lower half was still bound, there wasn't much he could do. "Well don't stay too long, you still have a job." he murmured, closing his eyes as the hand moved closer, but it was soft and just moved his hair. Well the hand was really rough, but the movement was soft, caring. Why was he doing this? "something I need?" Would the other be willing to love him? Sure Timothy hated him, he didn't really even want to be this close to him, but right now it was so terrible, being unloved, Andrew far away with the possibility of never having a visitor. "Can you..." he looked away. He couldn't ask that. "Is it possible to get my job back?" Though that might have been equally impossible, but he needed to be able to afford his apartment again and he wasn't sure if Andrew had paid the rent this month.

 Daren smiled, "When i talked to your boss this afternoon he seemed really worried about you. they haven't filled your position yet so maybe you can get it back. it'll be a while before you will be up to doing much of anything though." he shrugged, "the Chief wanted to speak to you too, but you were out so he'll come tomorrow. he needs to get your account of what happened, but you can have the doctors testify about what you said if you don't want to do it again." he could tell that James, Timothy wanted him to call him that so Daren had to get used to thinking the other name now, had wanted to ask something else, but stopped himself. "are you hungry? i bet i can get the doctors to get you something to eat. or do you just want to sleep?"

 That small piece of information was refreshing, he might still have a job, but of course there was the issue with him being bed-ridden for a while. He might not get the job after all. "Everyone will want to speak to me, won't they?" His story was bound to leak to the press some way or another, and he was most frightened of that. He didn't want Andrew to see him on television, he didn't want that. "I'll tell as much as I can," he murmured. "But I can't promise I'll say everything." and sighed, closing his eyes and taking off is glasses, setting them beside his pillow. "I think I'll rest for now. Again, thank you." and gave the smallest of smiles to the officer before trying to turn his back to them, having to settle with just turning his head. It hardly took five minutes before he was out cold, but he was empty, and the bed wasn't warm. He missed Andrew and his kisses. Always a kiss before it was time to sleep, to prove he loved him.

 Daren nodded, "We are keeping it as quiet as possible, but i can't say the same for your neighbors. we'll protect you, James. we wont let the press interfere, i can promise that." he watched the other try to settle himself dawn and waited until he was sure that James was asleep before kissing the man's temple. "sleep well." it wasn't a conscious act, he did the same thing when he sat with the children who he'd saved as they fell asleep, promising he'd keep the bad men away. he got up and spoke with the doctors for a little while. it didn't take much to convince them to let him stay, they didn't want another incident like earlier. Daren sat on the bed next to James' and watched him sleep for a time before he lay down as well. the nurse who'd smiled at him came in to check on James' stats and give him some pain meds which he gratefully accepted. they didn't take long to kick in and soon he too was out. Daren woke at 5:30 in the morning like he always did, drugged or not. his shoulder was stiff, but he couldn't let himself just sit there. he got out of bed and pulled off his shirt, leaving just the undershirt and began to do some exercises. he didn't do much, only what he could do in the room since he didn't think the staff would be to happy with him running in the halls. he did sit ups, one handed push ups, stretches, everything he could think of. When he discovered the bar that was meant for the curtain between their beds was strong enough to hold him he started to do one armed pull ups as well, sweat pouring down his body, soaking the white shirt and making it cling. it hurt, but it was a good kind of hurt. he couldn't do anything with his left arm but he'd been damned if he let that keep him from his morning work outs.

 Andrew in prison, that's all he dreamed about, telling Timothy it was his fault he was there, that he'd been a bad boyfriend and he had to raise enough money to bail him out. He didn't have a job and no one wanted to accept him because he was sick for too long and used up all of his sick days for life. He had to whore himself out and it was a disgusting feeling, alcohol, old men, but for some reason he found himself under a man with blue eyes, and as he focused he found it to be Daren. His body jolted awake at the thought, man giving a groan and rubbing his eyes, nose smelling the sterilized room and... sweat? he laid still for a moment, listening to someone breath in and out quickly and in a rhythm. He glanced from behind his fingers, spotting a blurry Daren. "What are you doing?" he asked weakly, grabbing his glasses and putting them on. He paused, staring at the crystal clear image of the police officer in his wife-beater, sweat making it cling to him and making the muscle-tone underneath as visible as his uncovered but equally toned arms. "There's a smudge on my glasses." he murmured, fighting the heat that wanted to rise in his face. He'd be a bad boyfriend, but, but Andrew never had anything like that! He started to for a while but then he went back to work and had no time! His dream of Daren on top of him only made the heat on his face worse, rubbing his glasses with the blanket with such ferocity he looked ready to break them. Andrew was all the man he needed, Daren was too much man, much to much man.

 Daren let himself drop when he heard James' voice and wiped at his chin with the back of his arm, "Sorry about that, was trying to get in a workout." he smiled before glancing around, "hey, the nurse wont come to check on us for another twenty minutes or so. do you mind if i shower really quick? they'll freak if they find out i showered with this arm, but i'm not letting them give me a sponge bath again. not int his life time, buddy." he winked, "if you want i can help you too. just a quick shower, you'll feel like a new man. if you don't want to, that's ok too." he was feeling more like himself this morning than he had in a while. he guessed it was because the cloud of worry was gone. he'd not been able to save James from getting hurt,but he still hadn't found the man's dead body and that was good enough for him right now.

 well his workout was sure doing him some good. But Andrew was fine, Timothy actually fit pretty well against Andrew's body, he wasn't too bulky at all, and fit in his hugs, and the sex was great when he was in a good mood. Andrew had a nice body. "Hm?" he felt around for some sort of switch that could move his bed from lying down to sitting up, but found nothing "You can do what you want, you don't need to ask me to take a shower." he murmured, looking away. "I'm too weak to stand, I need a sponge bath." he said, still remembering the warm cloth on his body as Andrew bathed him. "I'll wait for the nurse, but thank you for offering." Andrew would be showering with lots of prison in men, wouldn't he? "I hope he doesn't find someone else.' he murmured, turning his head to look at the door, wishing the brunette would just walk through.

 "Thanks," he patted James' shoulder before grabbing the remote for the bed and handing it to him. "what this what you were looking for?" he smiled before heading to the small bathroom attached to their room. he stripped off his clothes before stepping in, sighing as the hot water hit his body, but also being careful to keep his stitches dry. In all honesty he hoped Andrew found someone in prison. or better yet, someone found him. another scumbag that would beat the s**t out of him and rape him until he bled to death. and even that would be too nice of a fate for him. he finished the shower quickly, not wanting to be caught naked by the nurse, and changed into the outfit one of the men had brought him. he always kept casual clothes in the office just in case and they had brought him several sets for his 'stay'. he hand brushed his hair before heading back out, "nurse come by yet?" he asked James, grinning. "as soon as you can stand you should take a shower, it'll help you feel better." he sat on his bed and looked at James, his smile fading slightly, "You're a good person, James. and an even better boyfriend. don't forget that, ok?"

 "Oh, thank you." he murmured as the remote was handed to him, feeling the warm fingers just barely brush against his own. He felt the buttons, quickly pressing each one until he found what he was looking for and soon sitting up. His body didn't like the new position, he wanted to lie down again, it hurt to be like this, but he had to get used to it, his muscles had to get used to it again. he'd probably be taking some physical therapy after this. "But how am I supposed to pay for it all?" he whispered to himself, his eyes burning once again with unshed tears. He had no job, no source of income, no home and his apartment was probably going to be taken away as well. This doctor's bill was going to cost a fortune and he had to way to pay for it except whoring himself out. With a slow movement he covered his face with his arms, trying to stop the tears but they were silent and slow. He'd have to do it, without a job and without money he couldn't do much. He'd even let them hurt him if it brought more money. Daren's voice broke through and he looked over, quickly wiping his eyes and shaking his head. "No," he said weakly, listening to the other as he put on his glasses, hoping they'd hide the fact he was crying. But Daren moved to sit on his bed and he was unable to move away, the bindings on his legs preventing it from happening. He was a good person and a better boyfriend, huh? Impossible, he was having dreams about the officer topping him and those blue eyes never left regardless, and in his dreams Andrew told him it was his fault he was in prison. "Okay." he murmured, biting the insides of his cheeks to keep from crying again. "I wonder what's for breakfast." he didn't want to talk to the officer, but as long as he was in here he might as well try to be nice.

 Daren could see that James didn't believe him, "yeah, i hope that all those stories of hospital food aren't true." he tried to go along with the subject change, but couldn't keep it up. "It's going to be ok, James. things will work out for you, I'm not going anywhere until i'm sure you are ok. you aren't alone." he patted James' hand and saw the nurse step into their room with a cart of food, "well, time to find out." he moved to his own bed and sat down, ignoring the look his wet hair got and whistling softly, avoiding the nurse's eyes. she sighed, shaking her head before checking both of their vitals and pulling out the tables that were attached tot he side of the bed. she put their food on there and asked if they needed anything before leaving again. "let's see here," Daren lifted the cover and smiled, "eggs, sausage, toast and various jams to put on. not bad, not bad. orange juice to drink too. do you need help getting the jam on?" he knew James was having trouble with movement still.

 Timothy nodded at the food. "It shouldn't be so bad." and looked up at the black screen of the television before Daren spoke, making him frown more in sadness then anger. "I'm fine." he said quietly. "You don't need to stay." but it was an impossible request since the chief told him to stay. The hand on his shoulder only made him bite his lip. Why did he want to help him? He wasn't his boyfriend. He wasn't even a friend, just someone who ruined his life to save it. Luckily the nurse came in before the weak man could do anything and the food was presented to him, and it smelled delicious in his weak and hungry state. "Thank you." he tried to call, but she heard him and smiled before leaving. Her smile made him smile a little bit before turning to the food. She had taken his lid for him since he couldn't do it himself, but he saw the little jam packets and the toast. He reached forward, ignoring Daren's ramblings and grabbed the tab with trembling fingers. he tried to pull it, the plastic slipping through his fingers each and every time, and his smile faded to grit teeth, tears in his eyes as he tried with frustration to open it. Please, this was his favorite flavor, please open. Open. Open. Finally he managed to peel it away but it fell onto his sheets, spilling it's pink insides and that's all it took, the man starting to cry all over again, frustrated with himself, with his food, he wanted Andrew. He wanted Andrew!

 Daren watched as James struggled, letting him try and do it for himself, but when the jam spilled he could see that it was the final straw. James broke now and started to cry, unable to hold back anymore. "James-" he said softly before moving to James' bed and putting an arm around him, "it's ok. you just need a little time." he gave the other a squeeze before cleaning up the spilled jam and opening the other two packets of strawberry. he spread them over the toast and smiled, "i like strawberry too, it's my favorite." he didn't know what else he could do for James but sit there with him, "do you need help eating?"

 "I can't do it alone!" he wailed into his hands. "I can't do anything alone! I can't! I can't! I can't!" he needed time, but time was something he had little of. Each day he spent here the price would go higher, and higher, and higher until he'd have nothing but a debt. he gasped and hiccuped, glasses on his head as he wiped his eyes, trying to stop crying but they kept on coming. "No." he lied. he couldn't open a packet of jam, he probably would need help. "No." and Daren had to eat, his food would get cold if he helped Timothy. "No I can do it." he whimpered, lowering his glasses and looking at the food. He grabbed the utensils, realizing how heavy they were and quickly dropped them onto the plate. More tears appears as he pushed the tray away and laid down. "I'm not hungry." he whispered.

 "Lier," Daren said softly, taking up the remote and sitting James up by making the bed go upright. "you have to eat or your going to be here for even longer and i have a feeling you don't want that, do you?" he cut off a piece of sausage and held it against James' lips. "Eat. i'm not going to let you starve yourself." he was serious when he said he wasn't going to leave James along. until he was sure that the man was ok, he'd be constantly keeping an eye on him. after a while he'd be sure to give James space and only keep watch from a distance unless he needed help, but right now James needed someone at his side. He held the fork there until James finally gave in and accepted the bite. "there, pretty good, huh?" he adjusted his own tray so he could reach his food and took a bite of his own. "i'll take a bite when you do, deal?" he held up some eggs next. "then we both get to eat."
