This is really embarrassing, but I have seriously sprained my ankle.

I can more or less manage, but I can't quite manage carrying things, opening doors, and crutches, yet. I can eat take-out and delivery forever to avoid it, but I need some help with the cat-food and cat litter that got dumped just outside my door.

One of Bail's arms moved around Ben's shoulders, the other he slipped under his knees. He paused to check with Ben to make sure the move under his legs hadn't hurt his ankle in the process. Then he stood up.

"See, I'm not that old. Which side of the bed do you want?" he ask.

[neverjedi]

"The topside."

He was okay. He was loopy and pain was there, though distance, but he was okay.

And a smartass.

"If you weren't injured," Bail said, "I'd put you somewhere outside the bed." If Ben wasn't always a smartass, Bail probably wouldn't be as attracted to him as he was. "How about I make this as easy for you as possible and put you on the side closest to the bathroom. I can go back and grab your crutches when I've set you down."

[neverjedi]

"You should go grab my crutches but I fully intend to crawl to the bathroom and sit on the toilet if I have to pee, because I don't have that kind of pride and my armpits hurt."

Blame the drugs, Bail.

Blame. The. Drugs.

Bail chuckled and shook his head, but, "However you want to do that." Before setting Ben down on the bed.

"Do you need more pillows?" Maybe one for his foot?

[neverjedi]

He laughs, with fond exasperation. "Just come to bed, Bail. Please."

"As soon as I get your cruches," Bail said. But he didn't leave before kissing Ben.

He was back quickly, and he set the cruches on the side of the bed Ben was laying.

Then he kicked off his shoes and joined Ben on the bed. He laid on his side next to Ben.

"Better?"

[neverjedi]

"Yes." He faced Bail and used Bail's ankles to elevate his own a bit, and snuggled in against his chest, close and tight and affectionate.

He wasn't going anywhere, any time soon.

This? Was perfect.
