Pointless, Un-beta'd, Wimpy-type Angst by ShrinkingViolet
Blair Sandburg sat guard at the bedside of his partner, Jim Elision, staring at the pink, healing scar peaking out from beneath the bandages wrapped around the detective's head, like a lopsided turban. And he talked.
"Hey, Jim," he said, clutching at the larger man's hand, the one without the IV, but holding it gently. "I'm sorry I was late today. Simon wanted me to help him with something or other at the station, well, I think he was just checking up on me.
"Jim, you should see the place. It's so quiet, it's like a funeral. No one really seems to believe you're going to wake up soon, but I know you are. I'm your Shaman, right? I know."
Blair shifted a little in the hard, uncomfortable hospital chair. "But, then again, it'd help if you'd hurry and wake up. I miss you."
And Blair waited.
