Pence came in, then said,\n\"he's still unconscious but they're bringing him to the room, they had to\ndo a blood transfusion, pump his stomach and flushed his digestive track, it seems\nhe had toxic levels of a drug not meant for his metabolism, and we believe\nthere was an interaction with the drug Samantha told the doctors about, I can't\nsay more but I didn't want you all to have to wait for the doctor.\"Mrs. Miller gave Pence a big hug.\"Thank you, will we be able to wait with him?\"\nShe asked.\"Visiting hours aren't over, so yes, if you need\nthings for the night, I'll call Ken, he should be finishing up work soon then\ncoming over,\" Pence said, \"I'll go see if the rooms ready.\"Oliver felt no relief at Pence's words, he thought,\n\"Sean nearly died because of you.\"Paul hugged Xander tight but watched Oliver closely.Paul whispered something to Xander he nodded and then\nthey joined Oliver in his corner.\"Are you ok?\" Paul asked reaching out to grab\nhis paw.Oliver turned away making his pocket rattle with his\nshame, \"No... No I'm not, Paul, I was a coward and now Sean's here, he could\nhave died, he still might!\"Oliver fought back tears that had been on the edge of\nbrimming over, since he found his meds bottle with the tattered label on Sean's\ncounter.\"Boots what do you mean?\" Paul asked.Oliver covertly took the bottle out of his pocket,\n\"I told the doctor but Sean took my meds, I must have grabbed his bottle\nwhen he showered at my place, I'm such an idiot.\"\"Your meds?\" Xander asked.\"I have a health problem let's just leave it at that\nfor now,\" Oliver said, \"I wasn't ready to tell Sean and I thought\nhe'd find them and know what it was for.\"\"You didn't mean for this to happen,\" Paul\nwhispered.\"What's your health problem?\" Xander asked.\"Later Xander, Oliver you seemed to know a little\nabout what Sean was talking about, do you know what all that was, he sounded...\ncrazy?\" Paul asked.\"Err... yeah I do, he kinda developed a rape and\npain fetish after he was you know, where he was now in control of the situation\nand I don't know for sure, but I think he had you, Paul, in a fantasy, well he said\nhe wouldn't think of Xander or me that way,\" Oliver said.\"He always used to tell me that he didn't like pups\nor kits but never explained why,\" Xander said.\"Well that explains why he smelled sad and afraid\naround me,\" Paul said, \"I mean I don't want to be in his dark\nfantasies but it seems like it was eating him up inside.\"\"Wait what was that canids stuff, he said it doesn't\nwork?\" Xander asked.\"Well, he said that it was being raped by a wolf and\naversion therapy but he can't get hard from canids,\" Oliver said.\"Oh, yeah Tanner, he hit on Sean and Said it was\nlike Sean didn't even notice,\" Paul said.\"But he was always flirting with me and being naked\nwith me, he even said he wanted to see if my arousal for him would ever go\naway,\" Xander said, \"Fuck this is my fault. If I hadn't told his mom\nnone of this would have happened.\" \"You didn't know, hell, remember a guy called his\nhouse, you can't blame yourself,\" Paul said.Pence came back into the waiting room, \"we have him\nin an observation room, because of his allergy felines have to wait outside,\nand those who interacted with felines need to wash your faces and wear an\nallergen suit.\"\"A what?\" Neal asked.\"It's basically a sterile onesie,\" Pence said,\n\"but you'd have to where a canid one Neal we don't have otter ones your\nsize.\"\"Of course not,\" Neal said sighing, as everyone\nstarted to follow Pence.Xander held Paul and Oliver back for a second, \"I\nwant to thank you both real quick, Oliver, Sean has opened up and it's because\nof you, he'll pull through and he'll be better off because of you, and Paul-\"Oliver pounced on Xander giving him a big hug,\n\"thank you for saying that.\"\"Paul help,\" Xander gasped.\"He's a words of affirmation guy he's your problem\nnow,\" Paul said.Oliver was purring and crying all at once.\"There... there. Paul!\" Xander gasped, his back\npopped.Oliver felt a single sharp stab in his butt which made\nhim jump and release Xander.Paul examined his claw and wiped excess Oliver off of it.\"What was that for,\" Oliver growled rubbing his\nass.\"Stop killing my boyfriend with hugs, I just got him\nand I'm not done with him yet,\" Paul said primly.\"Now, I'm going to have to wear one of those\nonesie's,\" Xander said then he popped his back again.\"Xander you are important to Sean so you're\nimportant to me,\" Oliver said holding his paws.\"That's great, 'now we can all be friends,' hurry\nup,\" Paul said from the door, \"onesie's await.\"\"They should call them sterile jumpsuits, onesie is\na horrible branding name,\" Xander said following Paul.Oliver pointed to the drinking fountain and they went on\nwithout him. He prayed, \"Prime was this a punishment or was it meant to\nbe?\"He popped the bottles top and looked at the pink pill\nmeant to give him life, he thought, \"The pain is it worth it? If Sean\nstays for me I'll stay for him.\"He took the pill and lapped at the water.Oliver got a tad lost finding everyone again, but when he\nsaw a wet and rather unhappy Xander in a hospital gown, he was relieved.\"Stay back Momma Miller made me use a hospital\nshower and that Tabby nurse was too scared of her to say no,\" Xander\nsnapped as Oliver walked up.\"Why are you still wet?\" Oliver asked.\"There out of towels, or the Tabby is a\nsadist,\" Xander grumbled.Emily the Tabby Oliver met before, was cowering under Mrs.\nMillers glare.\"What's the problem?\" Oliver asked.\"Doctor Kelner is having a conference call with,\nSam, and Doctor Hanson,\" Xander said, \"Pence is hiding in the room\nwith the doctor.\"\"Hmm, not the best choice she'll know he hid,\" Oliver\nsaid, \"where did Paul go?\"\"He is getting me a towel and you food, said\nsomething about your meds needing it,\" Xander said.\"Oh yeah I had a crazy dream the last time I took\nthem on an empty stomach,\" Oliver said, \"Well it was the first time I\ntook them.\"\"Your sick day?\" Xander asked shivering.\"Yeah it was,\" Oliver said.\"When will you be better,\" Xander asked.\"Not one of those things you get better from,\" Oliver\nsaid.\"Kinda like Sean's allergy?\" Xander asked.\"Yeah, something like that,\" Oliver said.\"Oh well, I'm glad Sean got meds, he seems more like\nhe was, when we were kids before everything, and it's because of you,\" Xander\nsaid, \"No more hugs!\"Oliver stop, his advance on Xander, \"Thank you. But it's\nnot just me.\"\"Yeah?\"\"Yeah, Xander I wish you could be with Sean too, he\nloves you and I wish he could love you the way you deserve it,\" Oliver said.Xander asked, \"Why would you want me to take Sean\nfrom you?\"\"He isn't mine and I care for him enough that I want\nhim to be happy,\" Oliver said, watching the huddle outside the room.\"I don't understand that man,\" Xander said.\"You see them, they could all be doing other things\nbut they want to be here even though they can't really do anything for Sean, only\nthe doctors can,\" Oliver said, \"You and I are Sean's doctors, he is\nstill broken and he needs you just as much as me. When you got angry and left\nit was like his life fell apart.\"\"I... I think your right, but are you always so...\nphilosophical?\" Xander asked.\"No I'm getting loopy from my meds,\" Oliver said,\n\"Sorry.\"\"What are they for?\" Xander said.Oliver warred inside for a bit, then said \"I got FIV\nin my first and only penetrative sexual experience.\"Xander stepped back with the same fear Oliver saw in his friend's\neyes before they cut their trip short. Xander realized what he had done, \"Sorry, I'm a\nsixteenth lion, and I can get FIV, just wasn't expecting that, are you\nok?\"Oliver felt a catch in his throat, \"No, I'm not, it's\na scar that never seems to go away.\"A soggy arm wrapped around him, soaking into is shirt. Oliver\npictured his three angels and sighed in relief, \"I was lucky to cut my\nfoot on that glass, and meet you two.\"\"Xander! Now you need to shower again!\" Mrs.\nMiller scolded across the hall.Xander tensed again Oliver, then said \"Sean and I\nwere lucky too, see you in a minute.Xander trudged his way back through his own puddles to a nearby\nroom.Oliver waited wondering what was taking the doctors so\nlong.He heard steps coming up behind him and moved to the edge\nof the hallway.\"Why are you wet?\" Paul asked behind him.\"Xander got me all wet,\" Oliver said smelling a\nsausage sandwich.\"Yeah he has that effect on me too,\" Paul said,\n\"Where is he?\" A nurse with a bundle of towels stood pretending she\nhadn't heard or understood the innuendos. \"He's showering again back in the room you can\nfollow the puddles,\" Oliver said.\"I told him about my health and he gave me a\nhug.\"\"That explains Mrs. Miller's glares,\" Paul said\nthe nurse wandered to the room Xander was in.There was a knocking at the door behind them. \"So Xander took my health well, not as good as you\nbut pretty good,\" Oliver said.\"Yeah he is a good guy,\" Paul said.\"So he's part lion...\" Oliver said.\"I know that's why he smells so interesting for a\ndog I think,\" Paul said.\"Yeah he does smell good, but so does, Sean,\" Oliver\nsaid.Paul said, \"Well you do-\"\"Aaaaaaaah!!!!\"\"So sorry sir, you said Hello and I assumed! Excuse\nme!\" The nurse who had had the towels darted down the hallway.Everyone in the hall looked at the door where Xander was peeking\nout, he snatched the towels scattered on the floor and slammed the door a click\nof the lock was distinctive in the following silence.Mrs. Miller sighed, \"That boy!\"Paul and Oliver walked over and knocked at the door.\"Go away the rooms occupied,\" Xander snapped.\"Hey why did you invite that nice Stoat in?\" Paul\nasked, \"If you needed a helping paw Oliver's already damp for you.\"\"I didn't... go away,\" Xander growled.\"Oh come on I know you didn't mean to scar her but\nyou are kinda big and intimidating,\" Paul said happily checking his claws.\"I didn't invite her in, she knocked and I said\nhello, there isn't a curtain or anything,\" Xander said.\"And you didn't lock the door?\" Oliver asked.\"Apparently not,\" Xander said.Neal came over and said, \"The doctors are letting us\nin now.\"\"I'll be right out,\" Xander said then there was\na clatter, \"Stupid tongue depressors.\"\"I see why you like him, he's very\ninteresting,\" Oliver said to Paul their tails darting around.\"Neal are you still there?\" Xander asked.\"Yeah what's up?\"\"Make them get away from the door,\" Xander said.\"Huh, Xander just come out,\" Neal said.\"No, they have that 'I found a new toy' tone, make\nthem go away,\" Xander said.Oliver shared a look with Paul, \"He understands\ncats?\"\"I know I think it's the part cat thing or being\nraised by wolves he's very cross-cultural,\" Paul said.\"And I'm not deaf, go away,\" Xander said.\"Fine,\" Oliver said stepping across the hall\nand opening the sandwich container. Paul followed.\"It safe, you cowardly dog,\" Neal said then\nheaded to Sean's room.Xander poked his head out the door.\"You know you should play it cool like Sean then we\nwouldn't react,\" Oliver said.Paul nudged Oliver, \"Hey stop trying to make him\nboring.\"Xander left the room in a new hospital gown.Oliver and Paul followed, Oliver couldn't help but notice\nXander's ass as his swishing tail fanned the gown open.\"Nice, isn't it,\" Paul said.\"It is at that, I can tell he does squats,\" Oliver\nsaid.Xander tucked his tail and bunched up the fabric,\ngrowling something Oliver couldn't make out.When they entered the observation room, they saw Sean\nstill unconscious, where and why there were here was again unavoidable.Doctor Kelner was speaking, \"we'll have to worry if\nhe doesn't wake tomorrow.\"The guilt and self-hatred returned at the sight of Sean,\nhe leaned against the wall and everyone except for him, Paul and the Tabby\nNurse filed in.\n\"It will be ok Oliver,\" Paul said,\n\"It'll be ok.\"","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1108727-untouchable-chapter-36-confessional-sean.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/1109497-untouchable-chapter-38-the-journey-xander.json"}
