The ride to the hospital was a blur for the couple with JJ flowing in and out of consciousness, and Methas's growing stress every time his husband closed his eyes.
The EMT patiently and repeatedly reassured Methas that JJ's vitals looked good and there was no concern on her end, as of yet.
JJ started to wake up and stay awake a bit more after they arrived at the hospital. They rolled him through the halls of the ED as he writhed, whimpering with the pain that ravaged his insides.
"Methas-" He continuously mumbled his husband's name, desperate to hold his hand for some emotional relief. He was aware enough to know it wouldn't be allowed until he could be fully examined, but he couldn't care less. His hand practically burned with the desire for Methas's touch. "I'm scared."
He could hear Methas and Wan's worried cries and hated the miserable situation. He just wanted to go home and continue their movie night, just as they'd planned.
The EMTs and nurses immediately rolled JJ into a side area, and the curtains were shut around the friend group before a nurse popped her head out from behind the curtain, requesting that Oab and Wan stay in the seating area off to the side.
His initial exam began as he slowly started to fall back asleep, tears falling from his eyes, still desperate to hold Methas's hand.
“Baby, you need to stay awake for me.” Methas couldn’t bear to see JJ in that state, so unresponsive. JJ was never the quiet type, so not being able to hear his voice outside of pained whimpers and begging for relief from his pain was hell.
“It’s okay. His vitals look good, so he’s probably just exhausted from the pain. I see in the paperwork you signed that you’re his husband?”
Methas nodded, bringing his hand up to show the nurse his ring, words rapidly spilling from his mouth. “It’s been legal for a few months now. I can show you-” He reached for his phone to pull up photos of their paperwork before the nurse interrupted.
“No need to worry, sir. I have a husband, too. It’s okay. Tell me what happened before you came here. Once the doctor arrives, he’ll ask for a more extensive list of events, but I just need what happened before you called 191.”
All Methas could do was stutter through the memories that came to mind, “Our–our friends that came with us were, uh, they were, uh, prepping dinner. JJ was perfectly fine! Then he death-gripped my arm and he, he started saying–he–he said he was in a lot of pain. I tried to get him to lie down, but he screamed when I did. He–he said his–his stomach, uh, it hurt. That’s all-all he said. I- I think that’s all he probably could say.”
The nurse brought a hand to Methas’s shoulder, silently making reassuring eye contact.
He didn’t realize how much his breathing had picked up until the nurse had done so. His fear had him stuttering like an idiot, but it was hard not to be scared and stupid when your husband is sitting a couple of feet from you, suffering to such an extent, and you can't do anything to help him.
“His initial exam told us a lot, so now we’re going to administer some painkillers and run some tests. The doctor will be by soon to get an idea of what’s been going on and maybe pinpoint what led to this and plan out potential treatment.”
Methas wholeheartedly thanked the nurse with muddled words.
“Alright, I just administered morphine. It will take a moment to kick in, so just stay by his side and wait. We will be at the bed right next to his, so if anything happens, let us know.”
Methas thanked the nurses, once again, sitting in the curve of the bed next to JJ’s hip. He ran a gentle hand through JJ’s hair, watching as he panted with the pain. The sweat beads falling from his forehead broke Methas in two.
“Mmh-”
That was JJ's "I'm about to throw up" groan…
Methas had heard it plenty of times before through sickness and long nights of drinking with Oab and Plawan. He stood from the bed, bending at the waist to meet his husband’s gaze, holding his hands as he looked around for a trash can or a bag or something. He tilted his head slightly, notably taking too much time to find what they needed, until the gagging started. Panic flowed through him. “Shit, okay. Hold on, baby. Hold on.” He frantically looked around, eyes landing on one of the nurses who had previously helped them. “Nurse! He needs something to throw up in. Now!”
The nurse responded exactly how he’d wanted her to, immediately grabbing the nearest trash can, rushing it over right as JJ started emptying the contents of his stomach, his whole body shaking as he did.
Methas kneeled, allowing JJ the time he needed, encouraging him through kind and soft words, repeatedly running a gentle hand over the back of JJ's head. The nurse informed him that the doctor would rush his visit and that she would return with anti-nausea medications.
She disappeared while he turned to face his husband. He gently wiped JJ’s mouth with the towel she’d provided earlier, happy to see he seemed to be done. “Here, lie back down.” Methas set the trash can onto the floor partially under the bed and the towel at the foot of the bed. “There you go. I don’t know when the meds will kick in, but it’ll be soon, baby, I promise.”
It didn’t matter much, JJ had already fallen asleep, his cheek lying in Methas's gentle, loving palm.
Within the next few hours, JJ was in a VIP room on Methas's black card, sleeping under the medications and exhaustion that had pulled at his mind and body.
He slowly awoke, fighting to stay awake as he'd tried many times before that day.
“Hey, how you feeling?”
“Wan?” JJ slowly looked around his hospital room, eyes heavily lidded. His eyes landed on Oab, as well, but… not Methas. “Where is he?”
Oab stepped forward from the couch he was sitting on to stand next to JJ’s bed. “Why don’t I call the nurse and let her know you’re awake?”
The beeping from the EKG became more rapid with JJ’s growing anxiety. After everything he'd just gone through, after fighting so hard to stay awake this time, all he wanted was to see and be held by his husband.
He watched as his two friends eyed the screen, exchanging glances with each other and turning back to face him. Even in his groggy state, he knew that wasn't a good sign. “Where is Methas?”
“JJ-”
“Wan, I swear if he went to the office at a time like this, I’ll kill him. No, I’ll divorce, then kill him. Tell him to get his ass back here right fucking now.”
“Kid, I need you to listen to me and know that we’re working on fixing it, okay? Can you listen first?” Oab brought a gentle hand to JJ’s forearm, squeezing it just a bit.
JJ furrowed his brows, tilting his head slightly. Fix what?
With a long, drawn-out breath, Oab began to speak. “You were poisoned. That’s why you got so sick. The nurses said it was moderate arsenic poisoning over what was most likely a delayed period. Methas is with the police right now and asked us to look after you, but I’m sure he’ll be back in a few hours, and you know he’ll head here first thing.”
“They could have spoken to him here in my room. They didn’t need him to go all the way to the station to ask him a couple of questions, did they?” JJ slowly sat up in his bed, bringing his sheets closer up his chest.
Once again, the two chefs seemed to exchange a look… but that time it was different. They knew something he didn't.
“What? What aren’t you telling me?”
With the overstimulating, increasing beeping of the EKG paired with his exhaustion, hunger, the looks between Wan and Oab, and the lack of an answer, JJ’s mental state cracked.
“Answer me. One or both of you, I don’t care. Just answer me. Tell me where my husband is!”
Plawan avoided eye contact as he sat at the foot of JJ’s bed. “He’s a suspect in the case. Not a witness. They said the most likely person to harm someone is their spouse, took him and left. But he obviously didn’t do it, so he should be out soon, right ‘P?” Wan quickly looked to Oab, who had only silently nodded.
Without a word, JJ began shaking his head, slowly increasing in speed. “No, no, no, no, no, no–” Fully alert with the surge of adrenaline going through him, he started pushing the sheet off of his torso and down his legs, frantically pawing at his IV before Oab grabbed his arm.
“JJ, you can’t–”
“Get off of me!” JJ unsuccessfully attempted to push Oab as tears formed in his eyes. “He didn’t poison me! He would never do that to me! I have to tell the police he didn't do it!"
Strangled sobs filled the room as his breathing picked up. His vision went blurry with the increase in tears.
“JJ, we know he didn't do it, but you need to lie back in bed.” Oab gently pushed JJ back down as the nurses rushed into the room, responding to alarms going off on his bed and the EKG.
“Patient, you need to calm down. Your body can’t handle too much stress right now.” The nurse stepped up, arms out towards a thoroughly panicked JJ.
“Do not touch me! I won’t accept any treatment until my husband gets here.” If it meant further injuring himself and staying in the hospital longer, so be it. He had to stand his ground.
After everything Methas had done to ensure JJ's health and happiness, there was no way he'd suspect him of trying to harm him in any way. Methas never let him open doors by himself, panicked at every sniffle and sigh that JJ made, and cared for him when his grandparents passed. They were accusing a man like that, who only ever prioritized his partner's utter well-being, of trying to kill him?
“JJ, please, I’m sure he’ll be back soon,” Plawan begged.
“No! Until Methas is standing next to this bed, I will not accept further treatment.”
𓈒⟡₊⋆∘-∘⋆₊⟡𓈒
“Yeah, I’m almost at the VIP floor now. I just can’t believe Beer would go to such lows as to poison JJ because I won’t do business with him. It should have been me, Oab. They should have gone after me, not an innocent person.” Methas ran an exhausted hand through his hair. He knew it wasn't truly his fault, but he was plagued with the thought that he could have prevented JJ's suffering in some way, that he wouldn't have had to suffer to the point of being hospitalized for days.
“But you’re at the hospital, right?” Oab’s tone was a bit concerning.
“Yeah, like I said, I’m almost to his floor. I hate that they kept me overnight like that, but there’s not much I could’ve done. I really appreciate you guys looking after him for me. I’m sure he’s stressed.”
“Please hurry. Methas? Please?”
Methas’s heart dropped to the basement level of the hospital, having heard Oab’s tone. Never once had he heard him speak like that. Was he getting worse? Did he—
"Why? What's wrong?" Methas tore through the elevator doors, sprinting down the halls as fast as he could towards JJ’s room, nearly taking out other VIPs' family members in the process. It was the one time in his life when he was unhappy with the VIP floor. The rooms were too big. It took too long to run to his lover on the other side of the ward.
Upon arrival, he nearly snapped the door in half, entering the room at speeds that would rival light itself.
Plawan quickly jumped up from his seat next to JJ’s bed, shushing Methas as quietly as he could manage. He kept his voice to a whisper, “He just fell asleep. He exhausted himself earlier.”
Methas’s eyes moved from Plawan’s concerned face down to his beloved husband, tearing up at the sight of the restraints on his wrists. “What- why did they restrain him?” His anxiety quickly shifted into anger, and it was laced into every word he'd spoken.
“Before you get mad, just listen. He kept asking where you were and wouldn’t hear anything else. We told him you were at the police station being questioned, and he freaked out. He said he wouldn’t receive treatment until you were here.” Oab explained.
“Revoking consent to treatment doesn’t lead to restraint, ‘P. It can’t, legally. So what happened?”
“He tried ripping his IV out. The nurses tried to help, but he was so overwhelmed. He wouldn’t calm down, and it took a toll on his body. He looked really dizzy and kept falling when he tried to leave the room. They tried everything, even asking Wan and me how to get him to listen, but he was adamant about going to the police station to tell them you didn’t poison him. The doctor was concerned about him hurting himself or another staff member, so they restrained him. They all know he didn't mean anything by it, but he was so inconsolable that they had to do something to be safe.”
“I’m taking them off.” Methas’s tone left no room for argument. He understood the need for the actions the staff took, but it didn't make it easier to imagine how JJ probably felt as they put them on him. He stepped around Oab, quickly making his way to JJ’s bedside to get to work on the restraints, noting the moment he opened his eyes.
Unrestrained sobs erupted throughout the room as JJ began fighting in the bindings, attempting to reach out to Methas. Jumbled words escaped his mouth as he did, language evading his every word.
“I know, baby, let me get these off of you really quick, okay?” Methas could feel the tears forming in his own eyes as he watched JJ shake with every breath. How someone could do something like that to him was beyond Methas's imagination, but he trusted Oab and Plawan's judgement. After they'd been together for a while and the two opened up more to each other, he learned JJ could become emotional, so Methas knew he might have freaked out to such an extent that restraint was necessary.
The second the restraints were off, JJ eagerly and with utmost urgency reached his arms out towards Methas, sobbing into his husband’s chest the moment they connected.
“It’s okay. I’m here now. It’s okay,” He repeated every affirmation he could think of in a desperate attempt to calm him. “You’re okay. I’m here.” Methas slowly climbed into the bed, stilling himself to allow JJ to adjust himself and get as comfortable as he wanted.
“We’ll let the nurses know he’ll continue his treatment, then head home. Call us if you guys need anything, okay?” Oab placed a reassuring hand on Methas’s shoulder before walking Wan and himself out at Methas's confirmation.
𓈒⟡₊⋆∘-∘⋆₊⟡𓈒
Ever since he’d been poisoned and gone through a week-and-a-half-long hospital stay full of needles, multiple different tests, and treatment plans, he had difficulty eating foods that weren't prepared by Methas, Wan, Oab, or himself. The idea of someone else having access to anything he put in his body would make him nauseous. Even pre-prepped food and drinks from the store made him nervous. Smoothies and fruits were an obvious cut from his diet, entirely.
He still had some anxiety with his follow-up visits regarding his mild liver damage due to the poisoning.
Methas had been great through the entire process, being very understanding with JJ regarding his food and medical anxiety after the whole ordeal with Beer. He’d made it a point to take days off to ensure he could be with JJ for his therapy appointments and other care that he needed.
JJ would often laugh at the complete 180 Methas had taken in terms of his relationship with Oab and Wan. The three used to be at odds, often arguing for no reason, but hatchets had been buried, and friendship grew like a spring garden between them. He was always on the phone with them, thinking JJ didn't know, discussing ways to help him in any possible capacity.
Oab and Wan frequently prepped meals for JJ to eat throughout the week so he had safe foods, and it never went unappreciated. Especially by Methas. It could be seen through his insistence on eliminating their need to pay rent for the restaurant for a year. He promised two years if they'd continue to help him look after JJ in the way they had.
For JJ to be able to worry about one less thing in his road to recovery, it made Methas happy beyond words.
“Hey, I brought some pastries from work! A rep brought them in from her favorite bakery. Wanna try some?” Methas knew what JJ’s answer would be, but he asked anyway, likely hoping there would be some progress in his food anxiety.
JJ shook his head, staring at the bag of pastries in his boyfriend’s hands as he pulled the bedsheets further up towards his chest. “Thank you, though.”
“It’s okay. Oab texted me earlier that he made some, so don’t worry. You have sweet treats on their way.”
JJ wanted to be comforted by Methas’s smile. He wanted to be more grateful for Oab making him pastries on top of the meals that the chef couple had been providing, but the weight in his chest from burdening those around him often became so much to bear.
“Don’t do that.” Methas set the bag of pastries on the nightstand next to JJ before climbing into bed next to his husband. “First, I'm sorry I'm getting into bed in my work clothes. I'll shower and change in just a second. But I can tell when you’re worried. I know you feel like everyone’s doing too much to look after you, but that’s what friends and family are for. You taught me that. We all know you’d do the same for us. You have done the same for us. It’s okay, JJ.”
It was then that JJ put his phone down onto his wireless charger, wiggling in the bed to get closer to Methas, wrapping his arms around his stomach as he lay his head in Methas’s arm.
"Stay in your clothes. I wanna nap like this." JJ closed his eyes, feeling Methas's loving gaze over him. It was right where he wanted to be.
