"Xemas! Get your rear out of bed. I'm not calling you again. Next time I just come in there and dump a bucket of water on your head!" The incubus groaned, rolling over, culring in the sleeping bag. Finally, when Celrie could practically be heard grinding his teeth in the kitchen, Xemas slipped from bed, padding into the kitchen after using the restroom.
"What's the hurry Cel..? Visiting hours didn't even start yet and....What're you doing here," he barked to Eravan. the man looked up from his cup of coffe, raising a brow.
"Little boy, i don't think you want to know..." Xemas gagged adn Celrie flushed bright pink.
"S..sit," he ordered. "You have your job today. It starts soon and Eravan came to take you over there. Hot or cold?" He asked, bustling around the counters.
"Just some milk," Xemas sat down, rubbing his toe over the table leg. "I'm not...very hungry today." Actually, he was starving, but Cel didn't understand his need. "So when do we go old fart," he asked, looking up.
"Right now if you don't zip your lips Midget snot." Eravan shot back smoothly, taking another sip of coffee. For celrie's sake, and his own state of mind, Xemas refrained from hitting him.

Ssitris blinked up at the ceiling blearily.
"Awake now?" Ryle's soft voice asked with a smile. He waited for Ssitris to slowly turn his head to face him. "You look so much better already." He stood from his chair and moved over to take the oxygen mask off, turning off the machine as well and pushing it off to the side. "How do you feel?" He asked him, leaning over to put his palm to the blonde's forehead.
"....a ship hit me..." he croaked.
Ryle laughed gently. "As expected. Here, let me help you sit up, but be careful o your leg and stomache, okay?"
He nodded and Ryle readjusted the bed into a reclined sitting position.
"Are you hungry? Even a bit? I brought some pudding. I smuggled it in, just for you." He smiled pulling over his bag and taking out a large container of home-made orange pudding. He opened it and sat it on the bedside tray, placing the spoon next to it.
Ssitris stared at the sppon for a long while before his twitching arm finally obeyed and slowly moved up to allow him to grip the spoon and dip it into the pudding. It hurt, and his fingers threatened to let it go, but with some effort, he got a spoonful to his mouth. Ryle's treats always made him feel better. No matter what, and he was glad the gentle off-planeter was there. "M'lon...? Xemas...and...'vryone...?"
A soft smile as he sat. "M'lon's at home sleeping off his shift. He'll be back later tonight. Your friends should come visit by then. I actually think M'lon said something about the small one taking up a job down in the clinic too. If you feel better after your mother comes and bugs you, I'll see if I can't bring you for a walk down by there."
He nodded.

Thei rwalk to the hospital was, for the most part, quiet. Xemas had to gag a few times and walk ahead of the lovey dovey couple, but he survived. He carried M'lons clothes in a plastic bag, freshly washed last night when he's changed them in favor of pajamas. Actually, he'd taken the fuzzy socks and tucked them in the bag. Ssitris looked like he liked them. He didn't have any money to buy a get well gift so....
The incubus stared up at the hospital in the early morning light. Eravan led them inside and to the desk up front. He introduced Xemas and helped the teen find the right uniform to wear. He pulled it on over his t-shirt and jeans, moodily standing off to the side to await orders.
"We'll go up and visit Ssitris for awhile. Then we'll head home and you can come back when youre done, alright? Make sure you visit him when you're done.." Celrie nodded and tugged on his boyfriends hand, effectively moving the taller vampire. "Bye Xe!"
Xemas stuck out his tongue, clenchign hsi hands so he didn't make a very rude gesture and stood waiting for the nurse who was supposed to show him the ropes.

A Nurse finally went over to him and handed him a rag, rubber gloves, and sanatizing solution, before pointing to a cart. "Please go around to all of the used rooms marked with the orange tab next to the door and clean them. Make sure everything is stocked and use the sanitizer to wipe down the chairs and exam tables. When you're done, push the tab back and move on to the next room. Got it?"
---
Ssitris more or less ended up playing with the pudding, not really able to get it all the way to his mouth too many times for comfort. And he'd rather not have Ryle feed him. That was...embarrassing.
"So...M'lon tells me that short little one, Xemas I think it was, right?"
A nod.
"Well, your brother told me that he seems to like you."
Ssitris' cheeks flared red. "N---no! H--he doesn't!" He looked down at the pudding on his spoon, watching it drop back into the pudding with satisfying 'plops'. "Xemas probably hates me...."
Ryle's brow furrowed. "Why's that? Everyone loves you Ssitris."
He shook his head slowly. "I...because of me he lost his home...and...and I got him in so much trouble back at the---and..." He just sighed. He didn't want to cry anymore. He was tired of it, and his tears had all but run dry by now anyway.

Xemas looked down at the gloves and spray bottle in his hand, puzzling. He'd never done manual labor in his life. Okay, well...he had, just....this was a hospital and, he was supposed to be difficult, right? No, he'd better not... "Alright, i got it. Doesn't seem so bad.." He placed the cleaning bottle and rag on the rung of the cart, slipping the gloves on.
"All the used ones, right?" At the nurses nod he shrugged, and started off for the first orange tab.
///
"Right here," Celrie knocked gently on Ssitris' door, squzzed Eravans hand before he opened it. "Um....oh! You're awake. Good." He stepped inside followed by the bigger vampire.
"You look much better Ssitris!" He remarked, walking over.

Ssitris smiled tiredly. "Thanks....um...Celrie..."
Ryle smiled and gave a small wave before standing. "Well...I'd best get home before your brother wakes up and wants his food. He's like an infant, I swear. He lays in bed in the morning and throws a fit until I make him breakfast." He reached over and pet down the blonde's stubborn cowlick. "Rest up. I'll see you tonight. Good bye, it was nice seeing you two again." He offered another smile before he left.
Ssitris kept his gaze on the pudding, mostly because he didn't want to try and focus on the people who were bound to move in two seconds. "Um...you...two can sit if you...want..."

Celrie nodded and sat in the chair Xemas had, had yesterday. "Um...Xe will be up later. He's cleaning or something. Oh! This is Eravan, he got Xemas a job and a new apartment." The older vampire nodded his head politely, standing with his hands on the back of Celrie's chair.
"So..um.....how are you feeling Ssitris? We were really worried about you.."
///
The first room wasn't hard to do, nor was the second. It was basically just wash up and disinfect, then change sheets and make sure everythign was stocked. Xemas threw himself into his work, prefering not to think about what kind of germs or what not covered half the things he had to clean.

He slowly turned his gaze to the two, glad at least one was sitting and souldn't pace or move too quickly. It took him a minute to focus, but other than that it was fine. "I'm alright...I guess....It's hard to think...but they gave me stuff....a lot...so...it's okay. Um...Sorry...for ruining your shower..." he mumbled the last part, looking guilty and ashamed of himself.
---
When Xemas got to the third room, a little boy hopped out of the room, giggling. He looked up at the teen and grinned. "I went too-too all by mysewf!!!: He grinned before hurrying over to his mother who most likely had no idea his son had just...in a room....

Celrie shook his head. "You didn't ruin it, dont worry. It looks as good as new. Xemas was the one that found you. I smelt you, but I didn't trust myself enough to....not to....Anyways, he freaked out pretty bad. Beware, he might go off on one of his spiels when he gets up here...."
///
"You what..?" Xemas shrugged when the child went dancing off and pushed his cart into the room. Immediately his sense were assaulted and he gagged, dropping his rag. "No! This is unethical and wrong!" He glared, wanting to rip his hair out. There was no way he was cleaning that....and...ugh, just no! A nurse poked his head into the room, warning him to quiet down. Xemas clamped his mouth shut, staring at the mess. There was...there was.....Jeskara, Eravan was a dead vampire!
Hesitatingly, he moved, a scowl on his face as he started cleaning. Damn kid......

"A....spiel...?? You...smelt....oh...sorry...I forgot...." He stared at his pudding again and tried to lift the spoon but failed and finally gave up, just letting his hand flop down next to the container. He'd just ask the next nurse to check up on him to put it in his brother's office in the refrigerator. Hopefully M'lon's gluttonous personna when it came to the man's future mate's cooking wouldn't steal it.

"Don't worry. No more apologizing..." The vampire picked up on Ssitris' distress with the pudding and he smiled, leaning forward. "You know, you need to eat to get better. Want some help? I don't mind, and you're in among friends. I won't say anything...." He offered Eravan his chair and stood, moving to sit on the side of the bed.
"It's better than waiting so long for such a delicious treat, hm?"
///
Xemas finished with the mess and closed the room, dropping the soiled rag in the trash. He finished the rest of the rooms before anymore little tykes could make messes inside and resturned to the front desk, glaring, hands on his hips. "Done. What else?" He was barely resisting grinding his teeth together.

He blushed and looked at his lap for a long moment. Well....if Celrie swore to secracy...and Eravan seemed nice too...wait..."Friend...s...?" he asked meekly, at gave a tiny smile at the affirmative nod and finally nodded. "....okay....please.."
---
The nurse looked up at him and waved him off. "You're done, go on. The other janitor is here."

The vampire nodded with his own smile and reached for the pudding. He opened it back up and spooned some up, carefully easing it into Sssitris' mouth. "See? Not so bad. It'll make you feel better at the most." He spooned up another, waiting for Ssitris to finish with the first bite before offering another.
///
Xemas smirked and started taking off the uniform, balling it up. "Damn straight," he muttered under his breath and left the cart where he had gotten it, picking dust balls off his shirt. Stupid uniform lining..... He pressed the button for the elevator. Might as well go and see if Celrie was still here...and if Ssitris was alright.

Had Celrie not been so motherly and kind, Ssitris would have felt degraded as the man spoon fed him. Well, at least no one was making any remarks or anything. And they ever talked as if it were normal; well...Ssitris stayed out of the normal part, seeing as he was still drugged up and busy concentrating on trying to swallow.
After a few more spoonfuls, he shook his head when Celrie went to scoop up more. "Thank you..." he mumbled.

"No problem," Celrie hit the spoon against the side of the container, cleaning it off and closed it up, neatly setting it upon the tray. He wiped a tiny bit of the pudding that had dripped onto Ssitris' arm and scooted off the bed. "So...you like sweets? I'll have to make you something and come visit tomorrow, hm? Xemas is going to be working here every morning for a bit, so...."
He was cut off when the incubus in question walked through the door, muttering darkly, hands in his pockets. "You're a dead fucker," he growled at Eravan, glaring daggers. "Some little kid made one big mess in a room. I don't think that goes with the sanitation ordinance around here. God you're....oh....you're awake now, huh? About time."
He kicked another chair up beside the bed and threw himself down, slinking down. Now...to sit here and try to work up steam about why he should yell at Ssitris...
