THIS IS KIND OF A CONTINUATION OF "6 STAGES OF HELL". I WANTED TO PUT THIS IN THERE BUT WHILE WRITING ANOTHER FIC I GOT THIS IDEA.
SUMMARY: What was going through Javi's head during 'Stage 4: Hallucinations'? Kind of a second chapter, but not really.
Stage 4: Hallucinations
Once when Javi heard his partner scream for the first time that day, he got a little freaked out. He's denying that he jumped once when the terrified noise left his partners throat because it was silent in the apartment and all he was doing was trying to doze when he thought Ryan was sleeping, he ran into the bedroom, gun drawn, eyes flickering inside of the small bedroom before realizing that Ryan was either hallucinating or having a nightmare.
He heard a quiet sniffling sound, as if the Irish detective was afraid of making any noise, and he looked behind him to see Ryan crying quietly.
Javi's heart broke when he saw the tears running down Ryan's face. He holstered his gun and did a quick scan of Ryan.
The younger detectives cheeks were flushed, a light pink that looked as if they were getting a little bit darker by the minute. Sweat slowly trickled down Ryan's face, totally opposite to the tears. The tears were falling as if someone decided to pour water on his head to watch it fall down his face.
Javi went into the bathroom and grabbed the thermometer once again. He sent a quick prayer that Ryan would let Javier take his temperature again without a fuss.
No such luck. Ryan made a huge fuss in letting Esposito take his temperature and didn't listen to Javi's pleading. He would just mutter "no" and "lemme be".
After ten minutes, Javi got the temperature, and ended up with Ryan half in his chest with his sweaty forehead on Javi's shoulder. He was gently stroking Ryan's soft hair as he calmed down and relaxed, finally dozing off.
Javi let out a sigh, Ryan did look a few years younger when sleeping. And by few, he meant ten.
HOW DID YOU LIKE IT? I GOT THE IDEA FROM ANOTHER FIC I WAS WORKIN ON, HOPE YOU GUYS LIKE IT AND I'M SORRY IT'S SO SHORT. REVIEW?
