Fingers Entwined (Verloc x Bobby)

Chapter 15

Morris was sweating as he slept. He was shaking and was ill. He sprung up and cried out. He looked around frantically. He had tears rolling down his cheeks as well. It was noon and Thomas was watching Verloc. He'd come to check in but saw morris asleep.

The bobby looked around at the dreary room. He scrambled for the bottle of raspberry on his nightstand. He ripped the cap off and took one. He sighed in relief as the world went back to bright and colorful. He looked around the roon and sighed in relief. He had a small fever but chose to ignore it. He got out of bed and stepped into the living room. He looked at Thomas and Verloc. It was obvious that the bobby had a fever. "Ver..." Morris whimpered then he walked over. Verloc looked at him and smiled.

Verloc signed to him. "Morris? Are you feeling ok?" Verloc got worried when Thomas said the bobby was sleeping in. "I'm fine...." Morris said with a huff. "Morris, you were sweating when I checked in on you. Do you wanna go back to bed?" Thomas asked calmly. He had a knock out syringe on hand 24/7. So he could easily inject the bobby. "Id rather not. I can't sleep all day!" Morris huffed.

"Im not afraid to drag your butt into bed. You slept at the camp with no issues. Morris, you look like garbage. You NEED to sleep." Thomas urged. The bobby looked down and went back to bed. He climbed into bed and pulled the covers over himself. He sighed and got comfortable. He wanted to be with his lover more then anything else. But he needed to heal up. Arguing with a doctor was stupid. But arguing with a military doctor was stupider.

Verloc signed to the doctor. "Can you check in on him?? Id do it but half my brain is fucked." Thomas nodded. "Thank you, Thomas." Verloc sighed in relief. "He has a small fever." Thomas said. "How can you tell?" Verloc signed. "The signs were there. And joy isn't the best for illnesses. It can weaken your immune system. As well as destroy it." Thomas sighed. "Oh gee thanks!" Verloc signed angrily. Thomas smiled sheepishly.

Morris was dreaming of him and Verloc holding hands. They were running in a field of flowers. And then it happened again. Sally loomed over them. And grabbed verloc. Morris screamed and reached out for his lover. She ripped his head off and laughed.

Morris let out a bloodcurdling scream. He got out of bed and bolted to verloc. He hugged the smaller man and cried. Thomas was in the kitchen and rushed over. "Morris, what's wrong???" He was worried now. "Verloc...sally...death...!!"

"Can you explain what all happened?" Thomas had gotten the bobby calmed. Though, morris wouldn't let verloc out of his sight. "I was in a pretty field with Verloc. And suddenly Sally appeared. Then killed him...it fucks with me so much..." Morris teared up. Verloc suddenly hugged him. "Lo....vvv......eeeeeee." It was the first word verloc said without signs. Morris' eyes widened as he heard his lover speaking. "A-Anton?" Morris was shocked. "N...n....nnn....o....c...cccccr....yyyy!" Verloc struggled to speak. His body didn't want to work. Morris burst into tears and hugged verloc close. Thomas' jaw was hanging open in shock. Verloc was speaking again. Right in front of his eyes. A chunk of the man's brain was missing. But be was fucking showing that he was there. And he was determined to keep going strong.
