Chapter Twenty Five

"You should have gone with them. Your broken off tooth keeps on distracting me every time you open your mouth. You should go get it fixed." Yunho said giving Jae a critical look as the other man sat on the bed beside him.

"Not as much as your seizures, concussions, and open wounds distract me." Jae retorted while leaning into Yunho. Jae was unsympathetic to Yunho's plight.

"What if it rots out completely? Just think if you have to live the rest of your life with a big, old, gap between your teeth." Yunho replied trying to speak directly to Jae's vanity.

Jae eyes narrowed he grabbed Yunho's arm and pulled it up. "Does your arm look infected where the IV is going into you? I think your IV has gone bad. I think the nurse might need to put another one in...and use a bigger needle this time."

Yunho jerked his arm away, "That's just cruel!"

"Then stop trying to make me leave. I am not leaving you till I know you are alright so just stop." Jae said wrapping an arm around Yunho tightly.

"I am good. I am speaking clearly. I am not coughing nearly as much. I haven't had a fever today at all. I ate lunch or I should say you force fed me lunch."

"You are still getting most of your medication through an IV. You vomited your guts up earlier today. You have to wear oxygen and not to mention the foot long laceration to your stomach."

"It isn't a foot long."

"It's big. Oh, and I almost forgot the catheter."

"Can we please forget the catheter?" Yunho moaned closing his eyes trying his best to forget the tube that haunted him.

"Don't you..." Jae stopped as a young perky little nurse walked into the room with a big smile.

"I am here to get your vital signs." She told Yunho as she walked to the side of the bed that Jae wasn't monopolizing and wrapped a blood pressure cuff around Yunho's arm.

"Okay." Yunho told her and blushed.

Yunho said nothing else as the young nurse finished getting his vitals. Jae who rarely missed anything when it involved Yunho just stared at the flustered Yunho as a thousand things raced through his mind.

"All done." The nurse told Yunho as she finished and headed out of the door.

"Excuse me but how are they?" Jae asked tossing aside his jealously for a moment to find out how Yunho was doing.

"Oh, they are all good. His fever still has not returned." The nurse told Jae as she stepped out of the room.

"My life is a nightmare." Yunho moaned leaning back into his pillow.

"Why exactly were you blushing? Don't tell me you know that woman?" Jae said trying to control his possessive streak and failing.

"Know her? She and some other big nurse gave me my bath earlier. It was horrible. I swear being bathed has got to be the most demeaning experience I have suffered through and considering how many demeaning experiences I have had that says a lot. To have yourself washed by another person is humiliating. It is something you never get used to. They wouldn't let me help because of my IV lines. If I can't bathe alone then I would rather never bathe again. Bathing will never be the same for me. What's a little smell? You haven't bathed in days and you don't smell that bad."

Jae who had started to drift off to sleep during Yunho's bathing rant...one he had heard many times before suddenly snapped awake. "Did you just say I smell?"

Yunho blinked regretting his words, "A little...I didn't say it was bad."

Jae immediately lifted up his arms and smelled his underarms and then dropped his arms back down fast. "Ick! I do smell."
