Italics= Chinese

Luke sighed as he carried two trays of food through the hallways that led to the rec room. Ghost and Roach needed to eat something and he wasn't gonna take no for an answer. He rounded another corner and reached the door, entering it and heading straight to the two injured men.

He held the trays out and said, "Eat something before you die. If you don't, Gary I'll lock you in a tiny closet. Ghost... I don't know what I'll do with you, but whatever I do I can promise you won't like it."

Roach paled several shades and Ghost just smirked and accepted the food.

"God, must you be so harsh?" He mumbled.

Roach was still frozen with a horrified expression on his face. Ghost poked him with his spoon.

"Hey, I won't let him lock you in the tiny closet so hurry and get that look off your face before it freezes there."

Roach shook his head and grumbled about assholes while taking the tray from Luke, who was smiling.

"How come they listen to you and not us?!" Soap whined.

"Just threaten them. I told Roach I was gonna lock him in a tiny closet." He replied with a shrug.

"That's just mean." Keegan said.

"It works though, doesn't it?"

They glanced over at them and saw Roach munching on an apple slice. They all noticed how pale he was now though.

"Damn Luke, I think you scared the color right out of him." Logan muttered.

They laughed and the others agreed. Roach jumped, startled by the sudden noise, but continued to eat after a moment. Ghost was left handedly spooning soup into his mouth. For once it was actually kinda peaceful. Then a cell phone rang and everyone checked theirs. After a moment of confusion, they discovered that it was Roach's. He set his half-eaten tray of food aside and answered it... in a different language.

"Hello, how have you been?"

Everyone looked at each other in confusion.

"What the hell is he saying?" Hesh asked.

"It's Chinese, I know that much. Although I have no idea what he's saying." Luke shrugged.

"I didn't know he knew Chinese..." Price said.

"Well, when he speaks to his contacts he usually leaves the room. He's probably only still here because he can't walk."

"How do you know that's a contact?"

"Cause he has them all over other countries. They're spread out across the globe."

"Ah, yes. I apologize for my absence, I got caught up in a lot of things."

He listened to the contact speak for a few minutes and then looked around the room, searching for something. Luke sighed and handed him a pen and some post-it notes.

"Thanks."

He wrote down a whole bunch of stuff while listening to whatever the contact was saying. After about ten minutes of this, he thanked them and hung up.

"Wow, Roach. That was interesting." Ghost said, patting him on the head.

He smiled sheepishly and hid his notes away.

"Goodness child, how much stuff do you do?!" Merrick asked, shaking his head in awe.

Roach shrugged and said, "Lots of stuff."

He still had a slight accent from speaking in Chinese for like 15 minutes.

"Hahaha, nice accent." Toad smirked.

He rolled his eyes and flipped him off. He glanced at his food, almost as if he were trying to decide whether he should eat more or not. He opted not to.

"Dude, you only ate like half of your food." Luke said, the disapproval clear in his voice.

He shrugged and said, "Too nauseous to eat more."

He laid down across the couch, his head resting in Ghost's lap. Ghost had eaten about the same amount as Roach. Archer glared accusingly at him.

"What's your excuse?" He asked.

He yawned and mumbled, "Tired, so fuck off."

"You're so mean!"

"I don't care."

He looked down and saw that Roach was already asleep, his chest slowly rising and falling as he took in shallow breaths. He smiled slightly, thinking for the thousandth time of how cute he was. He felt a wave of exhaustion wash over him and he carefully lifted Roach up and pulled his legs up onto the couch. He laid down and pulled the younger man into his chest, putting an arm around his waist to ensure that he didn't fall off. He closed his eyes and was asleep in seconds.

Luke glanced over at them and laughed, noticing the position they were in.

"Those two are so odd..."

This caused everyone else to look. Kick and Toad's faces lit up and they pulled their phones out.

"Oh my god! So cuuute~" Kick squealed, creeping over to them with Toad not far behind.

"They're gonna murder you two." Hesh warned.

"Yeah, and I refuse to clean up all the blood when they're done." Logan said, shaking his head.

They ignored their warnings and stood in front of the couch, both taking several pictures before running back to the rest of the group.

"Yay! Mission complete." Toad said happily, hiding his phone away.

"Huh... I'm surprised Roach didn't reach out and grab you just to scare the shit out of you." Merrick said, the disappointment obvious in his voice.

Luke stood and moved to a chair, grabbing it and dragging it in front of the couch. He sat down and pulled Roach's arm into his lap, examining the stitches there. Roach didn't so much as twitch, sitting completely still.

"Heeey! What did you put in their food?" Keegan asked.

"What do you think I put in their food?"

"Uh... probably sedatives or something."

"Yup. Both of them need to have stitches removed and I don't feel like dealing with Gary's whining. Kick, would you mind getting me tweezers, scissors, disinfectant, and some cotton balls?"

Kick jumped up and left the room to retrieve the items.

"Well... he does whine a lot I suppose." Logan said thoughtfully, turning his head to the side.

"Part of the issue is he doesn't like being touched as a general rule. He also dislikes anything to do with medical stuff and getting stitches removed includes both, which is why he always refuses to sit still during the procedure." He explained.

"So like... He doesn't want to be touched at all?"

"Depends on how you touch him. God, this sounds like a very inappropriate conversation. Anyways, he doesn't mind hugs and stuff like that. It's... difficult to explain though. He's very peculiar."

"Peculiar? That's the word you would use to describe him?" Hesh asked with a raised eyebrow.

Luke shrugged and said, "Trust me, there's lots of words to describe him."

Kick re-entered the room, his hands full of the items Luke had requested.

"Thankyou."

He quickly started working and it didn't take long at all since Roach didn't move. He removed 2 sets of stitches in his left arm and 1 in the right, deciding to wait a couple more days to remove the ones in his leg. He cleaned the wounds and moved on to Ghost.

"Huh... I see why you just knock him out now." Archer commented.

Luke laughed and said, "It definitely makes the process easier."

"But why'd you knock Ghost out too?" Price asked.

"Oh... I didn't know how he felt about getting stitches removed. I also didn't think he would appreciate me knocking out his boyfriend for like six hours. And he needed the rest... so I kinda just did." He shrugged.

"I'm surprised neither of them noticed. Usually they would have." Soap said.

"Nope, Gary noticed. That's why he quit eating his food. The whole 'I'm nauseous' excuse was complete bullshit. Although I'm not sure if Ghost knew."

"He notices everything! It's not fair!" Archer complained.

"Not everything. Neither of them noticed that you and Kick took pictures of them sleeping." Keegan pointed out.

"Well... that's true, but they notice everything else."

No one could argue with that. Luke removed 3 sets of stitches from Ghost's right arm and 1 from his left. Then, just as he had done with Roach, he cleaned the wounds. Then he cleaned up his supplies and put everything away.

Around 7 Hours Later...

Roach lifted his head up from the couch and peered around the room, which was dark. He blinked several times in confusion.

"What happened...?"

A/N: Hehehe... sneaky Luke. Well, it's good that they're recovering okay so far... maybe I should do something about that. This story has gotten too peaceful. Lol, anyways, you guys know the drill. Please review! ;)
