murphy, vegas
The nearest hospital to Adam Banks' place wasn't very close to Vegas' home, but he and his parents were on the next flight out, as well as Seth. Vegas was waiting anxiously in the waiting room, pacing back and forth while Seth stood off on his own by the window. The man looked haggard as hell, and nervous, and Vegas wondered what Murphy was going to think of Seth when he saw him. What he would think of all of them.

First his parents went back, and it felt like forever before they came out and his mother told him that it was his turn to go and see his brother. For a moment, he stood frozen to the floor, and he felt like he might be sick. What was he suppose to say to Murphy after all of this time?

But within seconds he was on his way down the hall, and the second he was in the room he just started to sob as he went to clutch a hold of his brother on the hospital bed. Murphy looked a little grey, thinner than he should have been, and Vegas could tell that he must have had an attack during the rescue because he had an oxygen tube up his nose.

"Oh my God," he muttered softly as he squeezed his eyes shut and held onto Murphy desperately, afraid he'd disappear if he didn't hold on tight enough.

"Can you take this?" he handed the small piece of paper that Parker had given him to Vegas. He'd had a death grip on it since the boy left with Callaway and even if he had no intention of calling Parker he wanted to make sure he didn't lose that in case he ever needed to. "It's Parker's phone number. Just keep it for me. I don't want to lose it and I am getting so tired." he didn't have pockets or anything in the scrubs he was wearing. "Are we driving home or flying home?" he didn't even know how long the drive would have been, he wasn't entirely sure where they were.

"Flying, a short flight," Vegas said softly as he took the piece of paper. He didn't need to ask who Parker was, he all ready knew that it had to be one of the other boys. He tucked the number away inside of his pocket and he brushed his fingers back and forth through Murphy's hair as they sat there together. "Would you like me to go get Seth?"

"All right." He said softly, nodding as he leaned back a little bit more. "Thank you." He knew that the number would be safe in Vegas' pocket and he was trying to make sure that he was ready to go home. With a soft sigh he rubbed his eyes again and he nodded. "Please. I need to see him." He just hoped that Seth still cared. Hoped that Seth actually still wanted to be with him. That he hadn't waited this long for nothing. "Can you come back right after?" he didn't want to be apart from Vegas for long.

"I'll come back with him and be right outside that door until you're both ready for me to come in," Vegas said as he dipped his head down and kissed Murphy's forehead. "I promise, Murph."

He gave his brother another long hug, resisting the urge to break down and cry again before he gently pulled back and got to his feet to head down the hall to where he'd left Seth waiting.

"Seth," he said waving his hand, "Come on. He'd like to see you."

The cheap cup of coffee in Seth's hand was his lifeline. He'd been staring down into it like it held all the answers, or like it at least held a shower. The call had been agonizing, heart stopping, and he was left to wonder if he could even handle Murphy's return. That's what he'd been thinking about on the flight over. In a deep dark section of his brain, he was so fucking ashamed of himself that he never wanted Murphy back just so he wouldn't have to face his own utter failure. Catching a glimpse of such a horrible thought in his mind only made Seth feel worse.

When Vegas called his name, Seth turned on his heel and held onto that cup of coffee for dear life. "Did he actually want to see me or am I just next in line?" He wasn't drunk right now, but it was easy to tell that he'd picked it back up again.

He followed Vegas back, finishing his coffee and chucking the styrofoam cup into the nearest garbage bin before he walked into Murphy's room and just stood in the door.

Murphy was sitting on the end of the bed, back to curling his hair with his fingers just to calm himself down while he waited for Seth. He had no idea if the boy was even going to want to be near him or if he would see him and change his mind. Hearing him come to the door, Murphy finally lifted his head up and looked over at him. Swallowing, he tugged on his hair and then dropped his hand into his lap. "Hi." He barely could even say it at all. In fact now he just wished that he had asked them to take the damn tube out of his nose and to let him comb his hair or god he didn't know. If he could have gotten up he would have run across the room and jumped into Seth's arms, but he was stuck sitting on the end of the bed.

He'd seen Murphy in the hospital before, but those times he'd brought the other in himself, or had ridden with him in the ambulance. Not to mention, those times Murphy hadn't been missing for three years. His feet were absolutely frozen to the ground and he glanced down at them briefly, willing them to move, but they refused.

"Hi," he said back, voice scratchy from perpetual dehydration. His arms dangled at his sides, hands fisting in on themselves before relaxing again, over and over as if he was trying to work blood back into them.

Murphy had seen the way Callaway was hanging all over Parker and he had seen Elijah and Shay all over one another and Reagan and Liam. And Murphy had thought maybe it would be like that but Seth was just standing in the doorway looking at him and he bit his bottom lip. This wasn't what he thought it would be like all the times he'd fantasized about being rescue. Lowering his head down he looked at his hands and then lifted one to start twirling his hair again. He'd done it before, when he was nervous or scared. He didn't even realize he was doing it, but Seth would know what it meant.

That made his feet move. That one little gesture broke the lock he'd so firmly placed on himself. He couldn't just stand there and watch Murphy be afraid. "Are you really here?" he asked with a shaky voice as he closed the distance between them. "I used to see you places. I saw you in the kitchen once. You were just standing there, leaning against the counter. I came home from work and you were there."

He took Murphy's hand and brought it up to his mouth, kissing his palm and then up to each fingertip. When he was done kissing all of them, he pulled Murphy into a hug.

"I didn't think you'd want me anymore." Murphy mumbled as he laid his head down against Seth's shoulder. He wrapped his arms around him and held onto him as tightly as he could manage. He'd already cried so hard and so long but there were tears in his eyes again. Murphy was trembling as he clung to his boyfriend and he curled his fingers into the fabric of Seth's jacket. "You were the only thing that could make me want to live sometimes." he whispered. "When it would get really bad and nothing made me want to live I just thought about you."

As he exhaled, Seth's body seemed to get even closer to Murphy's as if air had been the only thing holding them apart. "I don't deserve that. I've really messed up, Murph. I didn't keep a life for you to come back to and now you're back and I don't know what to do. I want you so much." There was nothing he wanted more, but he was scared he'd destroyed everything with the force of his mourning and now there was nothing left for his lover.

"This is where we started." he whispered to him, looking up at him so that they could look in one another's eyes. "We started right here and I helped you get through it once and I can do it again. I'll do it again." he wanted to be with him, needed to be with him. If Seth couldn't help him rebuild their life then he knew he was going to fall apart. There was no telling if he'd ever make it back.

Seth's promises were all well and good now. His aspirations were real, but his ability to make good on those desires the first time around may not have been up to par. It would be a hard road and right now all he wanted was to promise Murphy that it would be easy. Instead of saying anything, he pressed his mouth to Murphy's, quick at first, breaking away. But then he kissed him again, and again, and again until it melted into a long and needy gesture. The warmth of his tears mixed with it and he swore to himself that he wasn't going to fuck up--not even once.

Murphy wrapped his legs around Seth's hips and he kept his arms around his neck as they kissed. All of the little kisses had melted into the type of kiss that he had always dreamed about. Whenever Seth was in his dreams they had kissed like this and he had always woken up so lonely and so sad. Now he had it and he was sure that if he died right in that moment it would be just fine.

"I'm never going to get a cold again. I'll wash my hands so much that the skin will come off." He clearly felt bad that he'd not been able to see Murphy because of his illness. That was when Adam had had the chance to take him.

He pressed their foreheads together and stared into Murphy's eyes. When he'd been especially bad off, he'd gone to see Vegas play, just to pretend that it was Murphy. But it never worked and he only came out of it feeling worse because the looks in their eyes were so different. Now he was drinking in as much as he could of that.

"I'll just get sick with you and I'll spend some time with my breathing machine and it won't even matter." He had gotten better at dealing with his asthma attacks and getting himself under control because he hadn't had his breathing machine or his inhalers. At least not the strong kind. "I just want to go home, let's go home." he'd asked Vegas for the same thing but he had assumed that Seth wouldn't want to see him like this.

Seth winced at that. "I lost our apartment. I have this shitty little studio now." He bit his bottom lip and looked physically pained by having to admit that to Murphy. But he'd moved all of Murphy's stuff into that little studio. "Do you still want to come home? Please still want to come home." He wanted home to mean himself and not just the place, but he felt really fucking guilty for losing the apartment they'd had together. It had been the nicest little place and Seth had just stopped paying rent until he was kicked out.

"I don't care where it is as long as you are there." He kept his arms around Seth, not even caring that Seth had lost their place. "Vegas said that Mom and Dad want me to come home with them for a little while but if I go there then I want you to come to and then we can go to our studio. I don't even care, we could go to a hotel or a cardboard box, I don't care, I just want to be with you."

"It was pretty close to a cardboard box for awhile there," he noted. As he spent more and more time with him, it started to feel real and his body felt less like it would blow apart into a million confused little pieces. He squeezed more tightly, pressing his cheek down against Murphy's shoulder as if he thought he might be able to climb into him.

"I'll stay with you at your parents if you want. I know they missed you too."

Murphy kept his legs around Seth's waist and he kept his arms around his shoulders. There had come a time while he was with Adam that he thought this moment was never going to come and he was so fucking grateful that he was there that he coudln't even let him go. "You waited for me." he whispered. Even if Seth had gone back to drinking, he hadn't ever gotten with anyone else. "You waited for me for three years."

Not even when he was in the depth of his drunkeness did Seth go so far as to look at anyone else. They weren't Murphy, and touching someone would only have reminded him of the one he wanted. "You're impossible to replace, Murphy," he murmured with a sigh.

"When did they say you could leave?" He wanted him out of this place, and back where he belonged.

"Tonight. They let everyone else go already." They'd kept Murphy a little longer to make sure that he was all right but now that his family was there and they'd all been reunited he was certain that they were going to let him head out. "I really just want to take a shower and do my breathing treatment and curl up in bed." Preferably with Seth or maybe with Seth and Vegas together. "I haven't showered in private in forever." Sure the others couldn't see him when he was in there, but it just felt like he needed an entire bathroom. Maybe even to take a bath instead.
