All characters belong to CBS I am just borrowing them!
Macgyver sat worridley by Jacks hospital bed as the monitors beeped loudly and the resprator made noise as it breathed for Jack. Jack had never been injured so bad before and it was all Macgyvers fault. Macgyver, who sat in the quiet noise of the room except for the monitors noise was alone with his thoughts, and that was never good. He sat there going over the mission in his head. It had been worse than Cario.
The mission had gone as planned until it didn't. They had acquired the arms dealer and were sneaking out of the house when the Jack got hit in the stomache with a machine gun bullet. He went down immediately afterwards out of the ammount of blood he was loosing. Macgyver had tried to lift Jack when another bullet whizzed by hitting Jack in the chest.
Jack was dying and Macgyver had no choice but to run through the crossfire of the guns never stopping, even when the bullet hit his shoulder. They made it to safety and Macgyver who was trying to stop the bleeding on Jacks chest and stomach didn't even feel his shoulder yet, adrenaline. Just as he was about to fix something to keep Jack's bleeding he passed out.
Ten minutes later he woke up and realized what had happened. Hopping it was not to late to save his friend and brother he got to work patching up Jacks injurys and called into director Thornton to get medical help. By this point he had not assessed his injury so he cleaned his wound and put on a clean shirt so no one would know he had been injured. A few hours later he found himself sitting in Jack's hospital room blaming himself for what had happened and for Jack getting injured.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2 days later:
Macgyver had not slept or had anything to eat since the botched mission, and refused to leave the bedside. After two days Jack began to wake up. He became aware of his surroundings and the fact that there was a tube down his throats pretty fast as he woke, and he was not happy about it. Mackgyver pressed the call button and a young nurse ran in and kicked him out so they could check Jack over.
Ten minutes later they let Macgyver return to the room and he was happy to find that Jack was no longer intubated but had an oxygen cánula on. Jack said in a scratchy weak voice,"Mac how is your shoulder?""how did you know?" Mac asked but the doctor had already heard what was said and dragged Macgyver out to be checked out in a room.
Macgyver returned an hour later with a sling that restrained his arm across his neck and chest which he was not happy about. Jack, who's voice was much stronger than before asked " does it feel better now?" Macgyver gave him a smug smile and replied with a quick "it didn't hurt in the first place!"Jack just chuckled as Macgyver sat back in the chair beside the bed. "Sure it didn't" he said teasingly.
Jack reached over to tap Mac which pulled the bandages on his chest and messed with the heart leads, which made a alarm go off. A nurse came running in there and reattached the lead that had been pulled loose, reprimanding him with a scolding " don't move around!" Macgyver looked up at Jack after the nurse left and Jack saw concern as well as guilt in his eyes. "You do know it's not your fault, right." Macgyver looked at him with pitiful eyes that spoke for him in a way. Mac nodded reluctantly at the same time, trying to reassure Jack.
"Get off your guilt trip it's both our fault and I can see the wheels turning in your head,"Jack chuckled softly at his remark but got no humor out of Mac. Mac replied with a nod having said verry little to Jack since he awoke.
A nurse popped her head in to tell Jack and Macgyver that the doctor had said that Mac needed to go home and rest and Jack needed to get some sleep there. Hearing this prompted Jack to Inspect his younger partners appearance. Mac had disheveled hair and dark circles around his eyes, as well as looking skinnier than usual. Jack said " why dont you go home and do as the doctor said so you can heal. Macgyver started to argue but was cut off by Jack who gave him a look that said just go before I make you.
A while later Mac was driving down the road when he saw a bar that sold his beer, and figured he could just go and have one drink. Macgyver walked in the bar his eyes ajusting to the dimness of the room as he walked in. Walking slowly up to the bar the bartender asked "what'll you have?" Budweiser please," Mac replied with a tense voice. The day had been super stressful and he just wanted forget.
By this point his shoulder had statrted to throb and he felt his pain and stress fade away as he drank his beer. Asking for another one he began to obsess over what had happened in the past few days. He blamed himself for what had happened and drank more and more. By the time it had been three hours he had drank six bottles and was point blank drunk! No question about it.
Mac, knowing he shouldn't drive in his condition, with a sling on his arm and drunk had two choices. He could either call Bozer, who would have to take off work to pick him up. He could also call for an uber. Knowing he didn't want to disturb bozer but also wanting to get home he called an uber. The uber arrived ten minutes later to pick him up and take him home. It was a short drive and Macgyver was begining to get a headache from all the drinks he had.
The uber drive him home and as he stumbled in the house he was surprised by bozer being there already. Bozer took one look at Mac and could tell something was wrong other than the obvious sling on his arm. "What happened!" Bozer asked concerned. Macgyver knowing he would have to explain let out a sigh as he slumped onto the couch.
"I screwed up a mission!" Mac was at this point rubbing his temples because of the massive headache. Jacks in the hospital injured and its all my fault!" Bozer looked at mac critically, asking "are you drunk? and what happened to your arm."
" A bullet happened," mac said. "I couldn't save Jack from getting hurt and got shot in the process." Bozer, figuring mac needed to talk to Jack about the mission with him not being there and all, called Jack.
