JD slouched in the rigid bedside chair, staring at the still form lying in the hospital bed in front of him. The teams undercover agent had been unconscious since he was brought to the emergency room. JD let his eyes roam freely over Ezra, searching intently for any sign of well-being. Ezras right bicep was swathed in a large white bandage, wrapped firmly around the bullet hole that tore clean through the muscle. A number of scrapes and bruises stood out darkly against his skin. Most frightening of all was the relatively small white square bandage taped over the bullet graze on Ezras right temple. JD shuddered. So close. That bullet had been so close to ending Ezras life. The young agent was so lost in thought, he didnt notice the deep breath, or slight shift signalling Ezras waking. JD? Ezra groaned, squinting against the harsh light pouring in from the hallway. Where is everyone? Kicked out. Gone home. Theyll be back first thing in the morning. Why are you still here? he rasped. I snuck back in. JD looked away. Had to make sure youre okay. Ezra scowled slightly. JD. This isnt your fault. JD shrugged. I know. Theres no way any of us could... I know that, Ezra. JD interrupted. Puzzlement clear in his voice, Ezra asked, Then why? Its not important, JD mumbled, crossing the distance to the door in two quick strides. Im gonna go... let you get some sleep. Ezra struggled to sit up, but with a gasp of pain, fell back against the pillow. Damn it to hell! John Daniel Dunne! Dont you dare leave this room. JD turned back, grinning. John Daniel? Ez, thats not... I know, Ezra grimaced, but in situations like this, three names are much more effective than two. They are, huh? JD shifted from one foot to the other, studying the tile floor. Why, JD? Ezra... he shook his head sharply. Why? The stern voice brooked no argument. JD sighed. Because I needed to know you were going to be all right. I needed to see it with my own eyes. Hazel eyes met green as JD whispered, I was afraid you were gonna die, Ezra, and I never.... He hesitated, letting the sentence trail off unfinished. Ezra held his breath, studying the man standing in front of him. Decision made, he released his breath slowly. I was afraid, he whispered, afraid that I was going to die alone. Ez? JD whispered, wide-eyed. Ezra studied his fingers as they picked at the knitted hospital blanket. Im tired of being alone. He looked up at JD. Im tired of doubting myself and denying the feelings I have. JD stepped forward, closing the distance between himself and the hospital bed. Stepping around to the left side, he lifted Ezras free hand, watching the undercover agents expression carefully as he pressed a kiss against Ezras fingertips. Seeing the bright light dawning in the other mans green eyes, JD leaned carefully over Ezra, brushing his lips lightly against the soft smile. Ezra moaned lightly under JDs lips, pressing into the kiss, as he laced his fingers through JDs. He pulled back with a smile, licking his lips. Join me? he whispered, eyes sparkling. I dont know, Ez, JD hesitated, youre hurt. You let me worry about that. Ezras gold tooth flashed in his bright grin. JD nodded his consent, and Ezra shifted over to allow the younger man room to climb into the bed. Carefully arranging himself, Ezra curled against JDs side, gingerly settling his injured arm across JDs stomach, laying his cheek against JDs chest. Mmmm... nice, Ezra murmured, as JD rested his cheek against Ezras hair, sliding his hand up and down the length of Ezras back. No sudden moves though, okay? JD stilled. Even when Chris and the others come barging in here in the morning? Even then. I dont care who sees us, Ezra breathed, eyes drifting shut. JD smiled, pressing a kiss against Ezras hair. Anything you want. All right, young man, the harsh whisper pulled JD out of his light doze, its well past time for you to be out of this room. Sorry, maam, but I dont think so. JD muttered. Right this instant, the officious nurse shook a thin bony finger at JD. Your young friend needs his rest. No, JD gritted. Now you listen to me, she huffed, this is a hospital, not a motel. And your friend needs rest, not manhandling. Out you go, this instant. Go to hell, lady. He wants me here. He only just got comfortable enough to fall asleep and Im not jarring him by moving, JD growled. Do I have to call security? You do what you have to do. Im staying right here. Watching the nurse storm out of the room, JD smiled. He reached over to smooth the blanket across Ezras shoulder. Love you, JD, Ezra whispered, pressing a soft kiss against the young mans throat. Sleep, Ez. Youre never going to be alone again.
