Warning: This story is slash, but the only thing you will see is kissing. I cleaned up my orignal story so younger readers could enjoy the story. Bo and Luke are an established couple. I have their ages close, because of the episode Farewell Hazzard. Jesse makes the comment that Daisy was 6 years old when she came to live at the farm and the "Boys where just little tykes."
This story takes place after the series ended.
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the charactors. Nor am I making money off of this, just for fun.
STORMY NIGHT
The Duke boys found themselves home alone at the farm for at least the next five hours. Jesse was in Sweetwater for at least one more day, he was helping out an old friend. Daisy was at work at the Boars Nest. Boss Hogg made her manager after the last manager was taking more money for himself than leaving for Boss. It was rare that the boys had more than two hours alone at the farm. Since it was raining out there wasn't much they could do outside. So they decided to go to the smaller barn they were fixing up for the sheep Bo was going to buy. The barn hadn't been used in years; it was mostly for storage. It would shelter the sheep perfectly in the cooler months. Luke was cleaning up the loft and Bo was working on the inside pens. When Luke was done, he went up behind Bo and wrapped his arms around his waist. He brushed back Bo's long hair and gently kissed his neck. Bo leaned back into Luke's embrace as Luke continued to kiss and nip at his neck.
"Loft?" Bo felt Luke nod and take his hand. He led Bo to the ladder and they both climbed up to enjoy some private time. Afterwards they lay next to each other as the rain lured them into a dream state. They awoke about an hour later.
"Hey we should get up." Luke told Bo as he was looking for his shirt. Bo found it near the ladder.
"Here love." Bo tossed Luke his shirt with a grin on his face, as he finished getting dressed.
"Thanks." Bo nodded than proceded to climb down the ladder. As he was near the bottom he misstepped and stumbled backwards. He ended up hitting his head on the toolbox as he landed on the ground. Luke looked on helpless from the top of the ladder. In his haist to reach Bo, Luke fell off of the ladder and landed hard on the ground on his right side. The next thing Bo was aware of was pain. He touched the side of his head and winced. He looked at his fingers, they were covered in blood. When he looked around he saw Luke crawling towards him.
"Luke?"
"Yeah Bo. You ok?" Bo could hear that Luke was in pain.
"Are you?"
"I think I broke some ribs. Are you ok?"
"My head hurts, I'll be fine."
"Could ya call for help? Neither one of us is up ta driving to Doc's."
"Yeah." Bo slowly got up and told Luke, "stay here, I'll be right back." Bo unsteadily walked to the General that was parked in the barn about 50 yards away, and picked up the cb.
"Breaker, breaker. This is Bo Duke callin' Tri-County Emergency, come back." Bo's speech was getting slurred and his head was spinning.
"This is Tri-County. What is your emergency?"
"Accident at the Duke farm on Old Mill Road in Hazzard." Bo could barely stand now, he was trying hard to stay conscious.
"Sir, you don't sound so good yourself, are you injured?" Silence. "Sir?"
"I hit my head...I don't..." Bo couldn't fight the darkness anymore and he passed out.
"Sir? Sir are you there?" Luke was watching from the ladder when he saw Bo hit the ground.
"Bo!" Luke made his way to Bo. "Bo? Bo? Come on now." Luke was trying not to panic as he tapped Bo's face several times, in an attempt to wake him.
"Luke?" Bo opened his eyes and looked blankly at him.
"Bo, don't fall asleep on me. Stay awake now."
"I'll try."
"Hey, remember when you got your first concussion?"
"Yeah, we was ten. I ducked away from...you swingin' a bat..." Luke didn't like how Bo's speech was slightly slurred.
"You stay awake now!"
"I called for help...I." Bo trailed off, for he could no longer fight the darkness. Sirens could be heard in the distance. Luke kissed Bo's forehead and leaned back against the General and waited for help to arrive. The ambulance pulled in the driveway several minutes later.
"Luke? Bo? Called out Harvey the EMT.
"In the barn." yelled Luke.
"What happened?" asked Harvey when he got into the barn.
"Bo misstepped when he went down the ladder. He fell backwards and I think he hit his head on the tool box when he fell." Luke was breathing heavily. "I was in a hurry to get to him and fell off the ladder."
"You might have broke some ribs." Harvey told him. Luke nodded.
Greg was assessing Bo. "Looks like he'll need stitches, he most likely has a concussion. Let's load him up."
Together they got Bo into the ambulance as Luke followed and sat in the back with Bo and Harvey. Satisified that Bo was safe, Luke leaned back and rested his eyes.
At the Hospital.
After Luke's ribs were wrapped, he went to the nurse's station to fill out the paperwork. That's when the power out. While the boys were being cared for, the storm got worse and lightning struck a transformer. Luke made it to Bo's room in time to hear a commotion.
"Sir, you need to remain in bed." he heard a nurse say.
"Where's Luke? I need to go home." Bo told her as he tried to get down from the bed. Luke entered the room as the Doctor was putting wrist restraints on Bo. Bo was so far out of it that he didn't even struggle.
"That's not necessary Doctor."
"Who are you?"
"I'm his cousin Luke. Let me talk to him, calm him down before he has an asthma attack." Just then, Doc Applebe walked in.
"Take off the restraints Carl. Luke will talk to him." Dr. Carl nodded than removed the restraints.
"Bo lay back down." Luke told Bo when he sat up.
"No, I'm going home."
"Bo, you're in no condition to leave. You have to stay for observation." replied Dr. Carl.
"Like hell I am." Doc Applebe than intervened.
"Ok, Bo listen. I'll release you AMA into Luke's care, but you listen to him. If you still feel sick or dizzy after three days you come see me at my clinic. You understand?"
"Yes sir."
"I'll get the paperwork. Luke help him get dressed before I let my better judgement take over and make him stay."
"Yes sir." When Doc left the room Luke said, "come on let's get ya dressed." Bo put on his shirt while Luke grabbed his pants and boots. When he was ready Bo slowly stood up with Luke's help. Than Luke pulled up his pants. When Luke was going to zip and button his pants, Bo batted his hands away.
"Let me Luke." Bo said as he swayed alittle.
"Ready?"
"No." Bo replied as he sat down on the bed closing his eyes.
"You ok?"
"Very dizzy." When Doc came back with the AMA papers, Bo was dressed and they both were sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I need you both to sign. I went ahead and called Daisy, she said she'll use Sweet Tilly to pick you two up. Seeing it's storming out. I want to see both of you at my clinic in one week."
"Thanks Doc." Luke said.
"Just take care of him."
"Always do." Doc smiled at that as he watched them leave the room, to go wait in the lobby for Daisy.
