To say Matt is sensitive to pain meds would be an understatement. Pain meds without a doubt fuck with Matt - relieving his pain and skewing his logic. Hence, one broken leg and a few cracked ribs later he is out of it. Throwing an empty tissue box at the nurse, he shouts "his name is James. With an S. It means there are two of them. Don't come back unless you bring the Jameses!!" (aka I read a tweet that made me think of jatt LMAO)
❝ Sorry to disappoint you Mattie, but the nurses could only find ONE of me. ❞ James teases as he enters the room, having gotten a detailed description of Matt’s acting out as well as his injuries. Truthfully it was hard to be cracking jokes knowing Matt was hurt and his worry had yet to cease but doting over Matt in this state felt POINTLESS.
He might not retain a single word of it.
❝ Heard you’ve been giving these poor nurses a hard time, too. ❞ He continues, approaching the bed and reaching out slowly to gently run his fingers through Matt’s hair and push his bangs aside. Hospital visits would always be BITTERSWEET at best but at least Matt was alive and for that he could be grateful. ❝ I’ll tell my suspicious twin that couldn’t make it that you’re okay though. He sure was worried. ❞
