"Does this hurt?" Sally stopped for a moment and glanced at her patient. He shook his head, but she noticed his lips were set tight and she reached again for the syringe. "Are you sure I can't give you a shot?"
He shook his head. "Can't. Once you're finished I have to go back-" Before he could say more, the door to Sally's examining room burst open. Her patient started a bit, but Sally had been expecting a visit.
"Maxwell, haven't you heard of knocking?"
"Is he okay?"
"I'm sitting right here," Heero said dryly. "You could just ask me."
"I don't trust you to tell me the truth."
"He'll be fine. I'm just putting in a few stitches." Sally picked up her needle and nodded to the place beside her. "Come here and do something useful."
"What do you need?" Sally could practically feel the tension radiating off of him.
"Let him hold your hand. He won't let me medicate him and I don't have anything for him to bite down on."
"It's not that bad," Heero protested, but Duo was already reaching out.
"All right," he said as he slipped his hand into Heero's. "Squeeze down if you need to."
"Just don't break his hand," Sally smirked and went back to her stitching. Out of the corner of her eye should could see that Heero's grip wasn't even close to tight- but the lines of strain around his mouth had vanished. He had his eyes closed- was he in pain? Or avoiding looking at his partner? Duo wasn't looking at Heero either- his gaze was deliberately focused out the window- but he was much less tense than he had been a few moments before.
Sally finished and bit down on a smile as their hands slid reluctantly apart. Men. So clueless.
She hoped they figured it out soon.
