He sits on the bed, chewing his pillow as he watches the Doctors fix Tony. He lets out a growl as a nurse tries to take his pillow away and flinches as a hand touches him. He turns around to face the young man and woman"You taking Payment?"
The Nurse frowns "Payment?"
Gunny nods as he gets into position "Payment"
She turns to Tony who gives her a sad smile
"He'll let you touch touch him now"
Gunny turns to face him and frowns at the sad look "Tony still want Gunny?"
Tony sighs and looks into the confused gaze "Yes Jethro...Tony wants Gunny forever"
He goes to speak but jumps as something cold touches him and he tries to pull away but flinches as Tony lifts a hand and he quickly covers his head with his arms as he shouts "Keep still Gunny! Keep still!"
He stills at the out burst and slowly strokes the dirty gray hair "Hey...no one is going to hit you any more"
Gunny slowly looks up with wet eyes "Tony no hit Gunny?" at the mans nod he relaxes "Gunny keeps still" with that he starts to chew his pillow once more as he lets the Nurse and Doctor touch him to fix him up.
Tony sighs at the sight of his broken Lover and turns back to watch the Doctor remove the piece of wood from his side. Once the Doctor has finished and stitched him up he turns to spot Jethro trembling. He looks at the Nurse "You finished?"
The Nurse gives him a sad smile "Yes...we have cleaned him up and fixed all the tears"
He nods and sits up with a wince, pushing away the Doctor who tries to make him lay down, as he shuffles over to the other bed and sits down beside him.
Gunny looks up and slowly crawls into his lap, taking his pillow with him and avoids Tonys injured side.
Tony smiles as he lays down "Can you push the other bed over?...I don't want him to be out of reach"
The Doctor sighs and nods to the Nurses, who push the beds together, as he checks their notes "Jethro is slightly Dehydrated, so I want him on fluids and antibiotics incase of infection...as for Tony, I want you on painkillers along with antibiotics incase of infection aswell"
He nods "As long as I'm with him...I don't care"
Gunny tenses as a Nurse takes his arm but calms as Tony caresses his face and he uses his free hand to pull the fingers into his mouth. He relaxes as he sucks the digits.
Tony chuckles and gives his free arm to the Nurse "If it keeps him calm...I don't mind" with that he tugs the blanket to cover them both as he watches him fall asleep.

Gunny frowns as he hears chatter and slowly wakes up to come face to face with the Goth.
Tony tightens his hold as he feels him pull away and glares at the Woman "Abs! Not so close!"
She lowers her gaze and presses into Tims hold "I'm Sorry Tony...I just wanted to look at him"
He sighs and softly strokes the gray strands "You need to be careful around him...I think Senior broke him"
Gunny warily looks at the Goth as he tugs on his pillow to chew on the corner while pressing closer to Tony.
Abby frowns and goes to touch the dirty pillow but stills at the growl "Tony...he can't chew on that dirty thing!"
Tony looks down and sighs "It's the only thing he has had for comfort since...since Senior took him"
She looks at him with teary eyes and gently touches the broken mans face "We will get you back Jethro"
Gunny looks up and blinks at her "Caf-Pow?"
He looks at him in shock and then lifts his his chin so he can look in his eyes "Jethro?...Jethro are...are you back?"
He glances down and sucks his fingers into his mouth as he lets his mind drift once more.
Tim moves closer and places a hand on his devastated Brothers shoulder "Give him some time Tony...it will take awhile for him to venture outside the walls he has placed inside his mind"
Tony blinks away the tears and gives them a shaky smile as he softly strokes Jethros hair "Yeah...I have all the time in the World"
Gunny begins to doze under the soft petting and tightens his hold on his pillow while sucking Tonys fingers as he lets the voices wash over him.
Abby wipes her own tears away and gives Tony a kiss along with Jethro before turning to Tim "Lets go...we'll come back tomorrow"
Tony nods and waves them goodbye as he continues to stroke Jethros hair "You need a wash"
He looks up "Bath...liquid soap?"
He chuckles "Yes Jethro, I find it easier than a bar"
Gunny nods as he presses closer and picks up Tonys hand to suck his fingers once more.
Tony makes himself comfortable and relaxes into the mattress before falling asleep.

After an hour or so Gunny pulls back and watches the man sleep. He moves into a sitting position, wincing as his backside makes contact with the mattress, as he glances around the room. He picks up his pillow and hesitantly gets out of the bed, pausing at the noise of distress and shifts from foot to foot as he really needs to use the Bathroom. He slowly makes his way into the other room, groaning in relief at the sight of the toilet and quickly relieves himself.
Tony wakes with a start as he notes the weight on top of him has gone and begins to panic "Jethro?" he quickly gets up and checks the room, he even checks under the bed, and as he can't find him his panic turns into terror "JETHRO!"
Gunny jumps out of his skin at the shout and he begins to tremble as he hugs his pillow tight to his chest before shakily opening the door "Gunny here...Gunny needed to pee"
He turns and runs over, crushing him against his chest as tears fall down his cheeks "Don't you EVER scare me like that EVER again!"
He trembles in the arms and whispers "S-Sorry...G-Gunny is S-Sorry" with that he wipes at his face as tears fall down his cheeks "Y-You returning G-Gunny to...to S-Sir?"
Tony gasps in shock at the Statement and frantically shakes his head '"No! Never! I'm Never letting you Go!"
He nods and beings to chew his pillow once more.
He sighs and decides that as they are both awake, he should clean him up "Come on...you need a wash"
Gunny frowns but nods as he is taken back into the Bathroom and watches as Tony places a stool in the shower before gesturing him to sit.
Tony smiles at the trust and strips himself down to his boxers, as he knows it's too soon to be naked around him, before wrapping his own wound in a plastic covering to save it from getting wet. As he turns to Jethro, he gently takes his pillow from him and places it ontop of the clothes to be washed.
He watches him with wary eyes as the water rains down on him "Tony washes Gunny?"
He chuckles as he lathers up a cloth "Yes, Tony washes Gunny...make him all clean"
Gunny hesitantly smiles as the soft fabric brushes over his skin and he watches as the water turns black before disappearing down the plug (Is it that easy to wipe the dirt from your Soul?). He tenses as Tony moves around him but relaxes at the feel of the cloth running across his shoulders. He turns his head to smile "Gunny getting clean?"
Tony sighs as he moves to the front and kneels down to wash his legs and groin area, ignoring the way the body tenses and when finished he gets a clean cloth to gently wipe his face "Yes, My Gunny getting all clean" with that he lathers up his hands and washes his hair, smirking at the small groan of appreciation before rinsing him out and repeating the process.
He relaxes into the soft scrubbing and turns his head as the water stops
"Come on...time to get you dry"
He nods and steps into towel, chuckling as Tony rubs him dry "Thanks Tony"
He smiles and kisses his forehead "My Pleasure" before quickly drying himself off. He quickly changes his boxers for a dry pair and holds out another for the other man "Here...put theses on"
Gunny pauses slightly before nodding and stepping into them. As Tony goes to lead him back into the Bedroom he stops as he searches for his pillow.
Tony notes the move and shakes his head as he tugs him along "You won't need that dirty thing" with that he removes the plastic cover over his wound as he lays down and tugs the man on top of him.
He tenses as he feels lost without it but calms as Tony gives him his hand
"Here"
Gunny sighs and sucks Tonys fingers before falling asleep.
Tony lets out a sad chuckle as he leans down to kiss the now clean gray hair before covering them both up with the duvet and joining him in sleep "Love you Jethro"
