He let his arm fall to his side and his face back to the outside world. He could no longer face the man resting on his lap. It brought him relief he did not kill him but it did not change certain facts. Once he delivered the man to the doctor everything would be alright for the man. They rolled up to the side of the curb. Galvin helped get him inside but once the Doctor took over he left.

when he woke again it was much like the first only instead of pyce and blood it was the damn doctor and a needle. flinching away he tried to tell the man to go get fucked but a pain in his throat like gargling glass stopped him quickly and he looked to the man for an answer. all he got was a prick in the arm and to hear the damn doctor call for the traitor pyce

He saw the room they once called their love nest differently. The other lay on the bed with the same tubes that graced his arms many times, weak and unable to move. He had spent the hours that Ambrosia was asleep, collecting himself but his mask still held cracks in it. After watching the other turn his lofty gaze towards him he took a deep breath and spoke. “You are sick of me, I will see you in a month when we are both better. You will get only what you want." He staggered backwards as the man in the bed, glared. It was not what he was expecting neither was the raised fist. “Obviously I have up set you more... I will see you later.” He turned and fled the room and nearly made it out of the apartment but Freulmn stopped him from leaving. He let himself be drugged and lay on the couch rather then going back into the room.

they were both morons, ambrosia for mooning over a man who had enough problems to fill a well and galvin for being too blind to see how far ambrosia would go to please him. what made it worse was that both were so reckless and violent that he did not know how to get them together without bandages and clotting or keep them apart without it crushing what little humanity either had developed in the months they spent together. shaking his head he went to get galvin a blanket and to make sure ambrosia was going back to sleep

He woke some time during the night. Once he relieved his bladder, Galvin found himself walking past the lowly room. He drifted towards the bed, falling into old habits and silently let himself curl up beside the other using his stomach as a pillow.

when he checked on ambrosia around four he found the two curled together and had to refrain from rolling his eyes. such morons

Galvin was woken up by a shove to his sides. He didn't want to move He twisted rubbing his head against the spot he found very warm.

when he woke it was as much to the nice feeling against his stomach as the pain in his arm and stroking what he was against he realized it was curly hair and waking up more realized it was pyce, angrily he tried to shove the other off of the bed but the action was futile and the traitor only snuggled closer. trying to get some coordination in his fingers he waggled them before finding pyce's ear and pinching as hard as he could

Galvin let out a small yelp and smacked the hand away. He rolled away from the other, pushing himself off the blankets to see the other before going into the other room to get the doctor.

he was livid when the doctor came in and hurt all over not just his arm. angrily he pointed to where the worst of the issues was and the man gave him a timid look, "it is less difficult that adult diapers or trying to wake you on a hunch." he felt like strangling the man at his sudden show of spine though he was certain the man was counting on him being too damaged to manage it. sadly he was right

Galvin felt like he should leave. It was painful watching the other become an invalid in front of his eyes. He wondered if the doctor still needed him to stay.

he was not sure why pyce felt compelled to stay and watch but the doctor didn't do a damn thing about it and he was such not being able and so pyce watched him be man-handled and unplugged from everything and helped to get out of bed for his first piss in however long

As the doctor left the room helping Ambrosia, Galvin wondered if he should leave. The doctor would not be able to stop him and he was abandoning his duties for a man that did not care. He closed his eyes taking a deep breath and as the strange sounds from the bathroom grew louder, Galvin turned to help the doctor. He walked into the room and put Ambrosia's arm around his shoulder. He helped the man relieve his bowels as the doctor ran a warm bath for him. Once the good doctor finished, he helped Ambrosia over to the tub. He started to bath the other as he listlessly sank beneath the warm waves. The doctor abandoned him with a luffa and some soap. He found himself smirking. “Just image if the doctor could not fix you and you had to live your life each day like this. My brother would find it amusing.” He lightly brushed his hand over the alabaster chest breathing angrily beneath him. At least he was merciful enough to put his enemies out of their misery, it was painful to watch the man he loved struggle to raise his fist. “What would you like me to tell Maia? If you write it down, I will deliver it to her.”

he raised his fist to hit the man at the mention of the damn crippled bastard but pyce's next words kept him from it and growling with frustration he let his arm fall limp into the water. "you will say nothing to maia and you reconsider trying to blackmail if you have any self-preservation. you may own your body and your things but both can be broken easily enough"

"Its not blackmail, its the truth, but of course you assume everything that comes out of my mouth is a lie, then it is blackmail." Shaking his head he was happy the other found his voice. "I merely thought that since you were back in her throng of favorites she would need to know why you can attend lunch, unless you are hell bent on going."

he scowled. "of course it is a lie, you lie so much that even if it started out honest it would end up a lie. i have to go if i am able and short of bleeding out on the floor i will be able, there are few things i want more than money and since i cannot have those things money it is"
