Hello hello - this is just a small RP board for two fans who can't get enough of their favourite policing husbands. Plots involve canon-typical swearing and violence, and slash might occur later.

Hope you have fun reading along! :D

*Gene slams his hand down on his desk - an indication that the matter is sorted. Done with.*

I don't know what investigation you're following, but if you think Brooks is guilty then it damn well isn't this one.

The longer we stand 'ere waffling about 'im, the longer the real scrote's out there potentially doin' more damage! Now can we please shift our focus back on track!?

*Gene sighs mournfully, tipping his head in Sam's direction and clamping his newly released fingers around Sam's wrist*

Good... Good...

Need 'im t' stay. Can't... They always leave. Not this time, can't... Can't do it.

*Sam swallows with difficulty, both his throat and chest having grown very tight. This... If Gene really thinks that...

... Then his own stupidity nearly...

Sam's breath hitches as he puts his free hand over Gene's on his wrist, stroking it softly. His eyes have started to burn.*

I won't... I won't go. I'll stay. Couldn't... Couldn't, even if I tried. *swallows again as his voice threatens to break up*

*nods, seemingly understanding this time. He doesn't really know that Sam's there, but the message that he won't be alone seems to get through to him, whoever's delivering it.

His features relax minutely, the grip on Sam easing up until he's barely hanging on*

S'cos... Cos I love 'im... Th' bastard. But.. Can' tell 'im.

*sighs, leaning his forehead against Sam again*

*Sam doesn't know whether to laugh or cry at this as he gently rakes a hold of Gene's hand and puts it back down, keeping it covered with his own hand. Even if this is just a dream, or a result of the fever... It leaves Sam with a warm sensation in his chest.

He leans over Gene, softly kissing his cheek before murmuring*

You just did, you numpty ...

*grunts, pouting in his sleep and frowning as he nudges Sam*

You're.. Y'r the numpty...

*breathes out slowly, relaxing properly now - Sam's words are reaching him, even if he doesn't know it *

*snorts out a laugh and squeezes Gene's shoulder, noting with satisfaction that his partner is starting to relax again. Good... If he gets on with his sleep, he should be feeling better soon... *

*mutters, more to himself than Gene*... We both are...

*then, nuzzling closer to Gene and settling down properly, he whispers* Get some rest.

*And so will he... Sam is feeling a little drowsy himself by now, so a nap would be quite welcome... *

*Sam's words have worked - with one last slow breath in, Gene snuggles against Sam, his hot damp forehead pressing against his chest. And apart from a few more mumbles and indistinguishable whispers throughout the next few hours, Gene manages to keep the fevered delusions at bay.

He'll probably sleep right through, now - depending on when Sam wakes.*

*curled around Gene and holding into him, Sam dozes for about an hour before he slowly sits up again, taking care not to disturb Gene in his much needed sleep. He works through another batch of files before getting up carefully, to get himself a snack for lunch and a drink.

It's the afternoon now, and Sam has finally run out of work to do - he'll have to wait for Annie this evening to bring him some more files... So he looks down at Gene, as be so often has in the past few hours, and gently puts his hand on his partner's shoulder, squeezing gently. Just to remind Gene that he isn't alone. *

*Gene sleeps fairly soundly for the next few hours - enough for it to become the afternoon, anyway. And by the time Sam places a hand on his shoulder he's beginning to stir slightly.

As the touch registers, Gene moans lightly and takes a deep breath, face screwing up as his body shifts into an achey stretch.

Slurring again, Gene mumbles with his eyes still closed*

M'I still 'sleep...?

*Sam can't help a little huff of laughter at Gene's slurred mumble, watching as his partner slowly stretches*

I don't think so.

*leans down to gently kiss Gene's forehead*

*murmurs* Alright?

*He's still not quite sure if Gene really is waking up, or if this is just another fever-fuelled thing... But hopefully it's the former.*

I d'nno.... Am I?

*Sam does feel the heat still radiating from Gene's forehead - well, of course... There's no way the fever would go down this quickly...

Sam sighs quietly, but still manages to smile at Gene's apparent confusion*

I'll let you think about it for a bit.

*He straightens up again, keeping his hand on Gene's shoulder and reaching over to his own nightstand with the other, picking up a glass of water he'd poured himself and drinking from it. *

Can't think. Brain gone tits up.

*flaps a hand at Sam, his fingers limply flopping over Sam's shirt*

What're you doin'.

*snorts slightly into his water, swallowing down the last few gulps before setting the glass down again*

Drinkin'. Workin'. *pauses, catching Gene's floppy hand in his own and squeezing it*

*gently* Lookin' after your sorry self.

Huh.

*finally opens his eyes enough to look at Sam properly*

M'I not better yet?

*takes a moment to analyse his current state - the way his skin's pickling with heat, the throb in his head.... *

Shit.

*flops back against the mattress with an irritated groan*

*Sam can't help but feel sympathy for poor ill Gene - he's not seen his partner in such a bad state before...*

It's been just a few hours... You still have a lot of recoverin' to do. *his gaze shifts and is drawn over to the thermos bottle next to Gene's side of the bed*

How's your stomach? Feel like drinkin' some tea?

What, no Grants? Glenvilet? Somethin' that'll give me a kick?

Naah, think I'll pass...

*starts to push himself up the bed and into a half upright position*

Any word yet? From the station?

No... But they might not want to disturb you. And anyway, the day isn't over yet - maybe they've had so much to do with all the paperwork that they've not had the time yet to call in.

*gently pats Gene's arm* Either way, you just concentrate on getting better. Yeah?

Yeah yeah... S'all there is to do, isn't it.

*opens one eye again, fixing Sam with a look*

You'll wake me if there's news though.

*smiles and nods*

'course.

*Though he knows - and Gene probably does as well - that Sam won't do that.

He'll let Gene sleep. He'll let Gene complain. He'll cater to each and every one of Gene's needs. Because that's what partners do for each other, isn't it? Of course it is. That's how it is, and that is how it always will be. The two of them, there for each other.*
