Oliver stood in the waiting area of Swedish Medical with Paul,

Xander, Sean's friend Neal, and the Millers. Pence came in, then said,

"he's still unconscious but they're bringing him to the room, they had to

do a blood transfusion, pump his stomach and flushed his digestive track, it seems

he had toxic levels of a drug not meant for his metabolism, and we believe

there was an interaction with the drug Samantha told the doctors about, I can't

say more but I didn't want you all to have to wait for the doctor."Mrs. Miller gave Pence a big hug."Thank you, will we be able to wait with him?"

She asked."Visiting hours aren't over, so yes, if you need

things for the night, I'll call Ken, he should be finishing up work soon then

coming over," Pence said, "I'll go see if the rooms ready."Oliver felt no relief at Pence's words, he thought,

"Sean nearly died because of you."Paul hugged Xander tight but watched Oliver closely.Paul whispered something to Xander he nodded and then

they joined Oliver in his corner."Are you ok?" Paul asked reaching out to grab

his paw.Oliver turned away making his pocket rattle with his

shame, "No... No I'm not, Paul, I was a coward and now Sean's here, he could

have died, he still might!"Oliver fought back tears that had been on the edge of

brimming over, since he found his meds bottle with the tattered label on Sean's

counter."Boots what do you mean?" Paul asked.Oliver covertly took the bottle out of his pocket,

"I told the doctor but Sean took my meds, I must have grabbed his bottle

when he showered at my place, I'm such an idiot.""Your meds?" Xander asked."I have a health problem let's just leave it at that

for now," Oliver said, "I wasn't ready to tell Sean and I thought

he'd find them and know what it was for.""You didn't mean for this to happen," Paul

whispered."What's your health problem?" Xander asked."Later Xander, Oliver you seemed to know a little

about what Sean was talking about, do you know what all that was, he sounded...

crazy?" Paul asked."Err... yeah I do, he kinda developed a rape and

pain fetish after he was you know, where he was now in control of the situation

and I don't know for sure, but I think he had you, Paul, in a fantasy, well he said

he wouldn't think of Xander or me that way," Oliver said."He always used to tell me that he didn't like pups

or kits but never explained why," Xander said."Well that explains why he smelled sad and afraid

around me," Paul said, "I mean I don't want to be in his dark

fantasies but it seems like it was eating him up inside.""Wait what was that canids stuff, he said it doesn't

work?" Xander asked."Well, he said that it was being raped by a wolf and

aversion therapy but he can't get hard from canids," Oliver said."Oh, yeah Tanner, he hit on Sean and Said it was

like Sean didn't even notice," Paul said."But he was always flirting with me and being naked

with me, he even said he wanted to see if my arousal for him would ever go

away," Xander said, "Fuck this is my fault. If I hadn't told his mom

none of this would have happened." "You didn't know, hell, remember a guy called his

house, you can't blame yourself," Paul said.Pence came back into the waiting room, "we have him

in an observation room, because of his allergy felines have to wait outside,

and those who interacted with felines need to wash your faces and wear an

allergen suit.""A what?" Neal asked."It's basically a sterile onesie," Pence said,

"but you'd have to where a canid one Neal we don't have otter ones your

size.""Of course not," Neal said sighing, as everyone

started to follow Pence.Xander held Paul and Oliver back for a second, "I

want to thank you both real quick, Oliver, Sean has opened up and it's because

of you, he'll pull through and he'll be better off because of you, and Paul-"Oliver pounced on Xander giving him a big hug,

"thank you for saying that.""Paul help," Xander gasped."He's a words of affirmation guy he's your problem

now," Paul said.Oliver was purring and crying all at once."There... there. Paul!" Xander gasped, his back

popped.Oliver felt a single sharp stab in his butt which made

him jump and release Xander.Paul examined his claw and wiped excess Oliver off of it."What was that for," Oliver growled rubbing his

ass."Stop killing my boyfriend with hugs, I just got him

and I'm not done with him yet," Paul said primly."Now, I'm going to have to wear one of those

onesie's," Xander said then he popped his back again."Xander you are important to Sean so you're

important to me," Oliver said holding his paws."That's great, 'now we can all be friends,' hurry

up," Paul said from the door, "onesie's await.""They should call them sterile jumpsuits, onesie is

a horrible branding name," Xander said following Paul.Oliver pointed to the drinking fountain and they went on

without him. He prayed, "Prime was this a punishment or was it meant to

be?"He popped the bottles top and looked at the pink pill

meant to give him life, he thought, "The pain is it worth it? If Sean

stays for me I'll stay for him."He took the pill and lapped at the water.Oliver got a tad lost finding everyone again, but when he

saw a wet and rather unhappy Xander in a hospital gown, he was relieved."Stay back Momma Miller made me use a hospital

shower and that Tabby nurse was too scared of her to say no," Xander

snapped as Oliver walked up."Why are you still wet?" Oliver asked."There out of towels, or the Tabby is a

sadist," Xander grumbled.Emily the Tabby Oliver met before, was cowering under Mrs.

Millers glare."What's the problem?" Oliver asked."Doctor Kelner is having a conference call with,

Sam, and Doctor Hanson," Xander said, "Pence is hiding in the room

with the doctor.""Hmm, not the best choice she'll know he hid," Oliver

said, "where did Paul go?""He is getting me a towel and you food, said

something about your meds needing it," Xander said."Oh yeah I had a crazy dream the last time I took

them on an empty stomach," Oliver said, "Well it was the first time I

took them.""Your sick day?" Xander asked shivering."Yeah it was," Oliver said."When will you be better," Xander asked."Not one of those things you get better from," Oliver

said."Kinda like Sean's allergy?" Xander asked."Yeah, something like that," Oliver said."Oh well, I'm glad Sean got meds, he seems more like

he was, when we were kids before everything, and it's because of you," Xander

said, "No more hugs!"Oliver stop, his advance on Xander, "Thank you. But it's

not just me.""Yeah?""Yeah, Xander I wish you could be with Sean too, he

loves you and I wish he could love you the way you deserve it," Oliver said.Xander asked, "Why would you want me to take Sean

from you?""He isn't mine and I care for him enough that I want

him to be happy," Oliver said, watching the huddle outside the room."I don't understand that man," Xander said."You see them, they could all be doing other things

but they want to be here even though they can't really do anything for Sean, only

the doctors can," Oliver said, "You and I are Sean's doctors, he is

still broken and he needs you just as much as me. When you got angry and left

it was like his life fell apart.""I... I think your right, but are you always so...

philosophical?" Xander asked."No I'm getting loopy from my meds," Oliver said,

"Sorry.""What are they for?" Xander said.Oliver warred inside for a bit, then said "I got FIV

in my first and only penetrative sexual experience."Xander stepped back with the same fear Oliver saw in his friend's

eyes before they cut their trip short. Xander realized what he had done, "Sorry, I'm a

sixteenth lion, and I can get FIV, just wasn't expecting that, are you

ok?"Oliver felt a catch in his throat, "No, I'm not, it's

a scar that never seems to go away."A soggy arm wrapped around him, soaking into is shirt. Oliver

pictured his three angels and sighed in relief, "I was lucky to cut my

foot on that glass, and meet you two.""Xander! Now you need to shower again!" Mrs.

Miller scolded across the hall.Xander tensed again Oliver, then said "Sean and I

were lucky too, see you in a minute.Xander trudged his way back through his own puddles to a nearby

room.Oliver waited wondering what was taking the doctors so

long.He heard steps coming up behind him and moved to the edge

of the hallway."Why are you wet?" Paul asked behind him."Xander got me all wet," Oliver said smelling a

sausage sandwich."Yeah he has that effect on me too," Paul said,

"Where is he?" A nurse with a bundle of towels stood pretending she

hadn't heard or understood the innuendos. "He's showering again back in the room you can

follow the puddles," Oliver said."I told him about my health and he gave me a

hug.""That explains Mrs. Miller's glares," Paul said

the nurse wandered to the room Xander was in.There was a knocking at the door behind them. "So Xander took my health well, not as good as you

but pretty good," Oliver said."Yeah he is a good guy," Paul said."So he's part lion..." Oliver said."I know that's why he smells so interesting for a

dog I think," Paul said."Yeah he does smell good, but so does, Sean," Oliver

said.Paul said, "Well you do-""Aaaaaaaah!!!!""So sorry sir, you said Hello and I assumed! Excuse

me!" The nurse who had had the towels darted down the hallway.Everyone in the hall looked at the door where Xander was peeking

out, he snatched the towels scattered on the floor and slammed the door a click

of the lock was distinctive in the following silence.Mrs. Miller sighed, "That boy!"Paul and Oliver walked over and knocked at the door."Go away the rooms occupied," Xander snapped."Hey why did you invite that nice Stoat in?" Paul

asked, "If you needed a helping paw Oliver's already damp for you.""I didn't... go away," Xander growled."Oh come on I know you didn't mean to scar her but

you are kinda big and intimidating," Paul said happily checking his claws."I didn't invite her in, she knocked and I said

hello, there isn't a curtain or anything," Xander said."And you didn't lock the door?" Oliver asked."Apparently not," Xander said.Neal came over and said, "The doctors are letting us

in now.""I'll be right out," Xander said then there was

a clatter, "Stupid tongue depressors.""I see why you like him, he's very

interesting," Oliver said to Paul their tails darting around."Neal are you still there?" Xander asked."Yeah what's up?""Make them get away from the door," Xander said."Huh, Xander just come out," Neal said."No, they have that 'I found a new toy' tone, make

them go away," Xander said.Oliver shared a look with Paul, "He understands

cats?""I know I think it's the part cat thing or being

raised by wolves he's very cross-cultural," Paul said."And I'm not deaf, go away," Xander said."Fine," Oliver said stepping across the hall

and opening the sandwich container. Paul followed."It safe, you cowardly dog," Neal said then

headed to Sean's room.Xander poked his head out the door."You know you should play it cool like Sean then we

wouldn't react," Oliver said.Paul nudged Oliver, "Hey stop trying to make him

boring."Xander left the room in a new hospital gown.Oliver and Paul followed, Oliver couldn't help but notice

Xander's ass as his swishing tail fanned the gown open."Nice, isn't it," Paul said."It is at that, I can tell he does squats," Oliver

said.Xander tucked his tail and bunched up the fabric,

growling something Oliver couldn't make out.When they entered the observation room, they saw Sean

still unconscious, where and why there were here was again unavoidable.Doctor Kelner was speaking, "we'll have to worry if

he doesn't wake tomorrow."The guilt and self-hatred returned at the sight of Sean,

he leaned against the wall and everyone except for him, Paul and the Tabby

Nurse filed in.

"It will be ok Oliver," Paul said,

"It'll be ok."
