A/N - If I could, I would adopt the Jims.
There's no sign of King when they finally make it to the garden and Bing's arm, around Jim's neck tightens a little bit.
"Where is he?"
The Jim on Bing's right hand side points up, to where he spots the dryad sat on a branch, seemingly soaking up some sunshine. It's been a pretty long time since he went outside and he's apparently making the most of it.
Bing stumbles forward, calling up to the tree for King to get his butt down here, leaving the Jims behind as he manages steps on his own. Google, still right behind them frowns and moves forward as they share a sombre glance.
"Why didn't you follow him?" he demands
"If he falls he'll hit the grass." says Jim.
"He has King and you to catch him now." Other Jim adds.
"Besides I don't think Bing wants us here." The two of them step closer together as Google looks over to Bing.
Sure enough, as soon as King hits the ground, Bing has his arm thrown around his friend and seems happier, and more energetic than the entire time he was with the Jims. This is strange, but suggests that Bing is keeping secrets so Google points to the Jims as he starts to move towards Bing.
"If either of you go anywhere, I'm coming after you and dragging your sorry butts back here."
The Jims reach to hold each other's hand as they watch Google go up to Bing and King and the three of them talk in hushed voices.
"What do you think we did?" Jim asks.
"I don't think we'd figure it out if we thought for a hundred years." his brother responds.
Google draws King away from Bing, turning the cyborg to face the Jims and giving him a gentle push, though probably not as gentle as he thinks since Bing has to try really hard not to just fall flat on his face.
Everybody watches with bated breath as Bing very carefully makes his way towards the Jims, one foot in front of the other. It's not easy but he manages it. The Jims are waiting and as Bing is stood immediately in front of them, he looks so so sad, and their grip on each other tightens. What on earth did they do?
"I am so sorry." Bing says.
Jim and Jim exchange a glance before looking back at Bing. "Why?" they say in unison.
Bing can't help it and he bursts into tears, his hand raising to cover his face and both the Jims rush forward, wrapping their arms around Bing and holding him close. They're offering apology after apology for whatever it is they've done. They swear that if Bing tells them what they did wrong they'll never do it again. That if Bing wants they'll delete all the footage they got of people while Bing was recovering. Or if he wants, they'll let him look after Honey their hamster for a week so he isn't so sad. Or if he really wants they'll leave right now. Well not right now because they're hugging him, but as soon as the hug is over then they'll leave.
See they're so used to aggravating people, that it doesn't occur to them there might be some other factor playing into this situation and honestly a hundred percent believe it's their own fault. They don't really want to leave but they haven't seen Bing in so long, and they can see quite clearly that he's still recovering. They don't want to be the reason Bing isn't getting better.
Bing curses the fact that he only has one arm again, wishing he could hold them both close as they hold him. He assures them they've done nothing wrong and that when he's feeling better he'll explain but he can't right now. He's just being an idiot himself and he's so so so so sorry. He didn't mean to make them feel like he doesn't want them there.
The hug goes on for a long while until Bing asks them to help him move so he can sit and lean against the nearest tree, which the Jims do without question. The five of them spend an hour or two talking, Bing doing his best to explain how it is walking with his new leg, while they all catch up. It's been a while since they were all together.
When it comes time to get back to the clinic, it's without question that Bing reaches for the Jims to help.
