Devoted to You

Party or Proposal?

   It's been several days of stalled investigation and Chen Yu is getting frustrated. He's emailed Jinni Yung's lawyer and is heading into the hospital to see his husband. He's annoyed and distracted, but still alert. He watches a man, high on something, thrashing on a stretcher and fighting the doctor and nurses trying to help him. The man is covered in blood and Chen Yu sees the glint of a knife. He yanks the doctor back just in time, but takes a shallow slice along his ribs.

"I'm so not in the mood for this." Chen Yu says, shaking his head and punching the man in the face. "That should make him more manageable." He says, seeing the man knocked out cold.

"Yu'er!" Gu Wei cries, running down the hall toward him.

"Oh shit." Chen Yu mumbles, sighing and smiling at his frightened husband. "It's okay lao gong. This time, it really is just a scratch." He lifts his shirt and groans. "Damnit, I love this jacket."

"What am I going to do with you?" Gu Wei grins, sighing in relief. He laughs out loud, Chen Yu smirking and wiggling his brows. "Yeah, yeah. You know, we've both got paperwork now?" He laughs again, Chen Yu pouting and hunching his shoulders.

"Detective? Thank you so much." The young doctor he just saved says, bowing and hurrying off with the stretcher and his team.

"I saw it." Gu Wei says, tugging him toward his office. "I was coming to help and I saw the whole thing." He shuts his door and bites his lip. "Will you get in trouble lao gong? I'm pretty sure that was excessive use of force." He chuckles, Chen Yu tossing his head back and frowning. He looks like a toddler having a fit. "You are so adorable when you're cranky baobei."

"I need a hug Wei." Chen Yu pouts, holding out his arms and grinning as Gu Wei shakes his head and enters them. "Ahh, much better. It's my first offense. I'll get a reprimand at most, unless the dope head causes a fuss. He probably won't even remember it. He's higher than a kite." He shakes his head, nuzzling Gu Wei's neck and breathing him in.

"I still need to give report before I can go Yu'er." Gu Wei chuckles, feeling teeth scrape the side of his neck and hearing Chen Yu groan. "Thirty minutes. I promise, I'll be all yours in thirty minutes lao gong."

"Mn. I'll just wander around. Maybe I'll get lucky and bump into the killer in the act." Chen Yu shrugs, grinning as Gu Wei shakes his head.

   Gu Wei hurries into the bathroom and brings back a first aid kit. Chen Yu takes it, rolling his eyes and shooing him out the door. Gu Wei rushes to finish his work, worried about how tired his husband looked just now.

   Chen Yu cleans the wound and applies antibiotic ointment, putting a bandage over it. He smirks, thinking it could be healed by the time he gets home. It really is just a scratch, the blade barely broke his skin. He returns the kit to the bathroom and heads out into the hospital. He sees the janitor mopping up blood and spraying a special chemical on the floor. They exchange a nod and he moves on. He sees Tang heading down the hall pushing an empty wheelchair. He watches him closely and sees him flinch and pause for just a second when he notices Chen Yu. Tang pushes the wheelchair past him and leaves it at the entrance, scurrying back down the hall looking angry. So naturally, Chen Yu follows him. He walks down the hall, looking around and letting Tang know he's following him. He's sauntering along, nonchalantly, as if he doesn't have a care in the world. Tang turns to glare at him, before he fixes his expression.

"Do you need something Detective? I'm about to go on break." Tang says, standing outside the cafeteria.

"Oh no, I'm just taking a stroll and killing time until Wei gets off work." Chen Yu grins, nodding toward the cafeteria. "Enjoy your break." He heads back down the hall, hearing Gu Wei call his name.
