"Even though I love you madly, it seems I love you more."
Who: Billy and Ajay Willis
What: Christmassing with a sick person
Where: Home, NYC
When: Friday evening
Billy came up behind the sofa where Ajay was lying, holding a sprig of mistletoe over his head with a smile. "I'd offer to kiss it better, baby, but I know that work. This is the next best thing," he said and leaned in close to give Ajay a tender kiss. Billy had known as soon as Ajay relented at work the other day and asked Billy to come and get him that Ajay really needed to come home and be heaped with TLC. At that point, Billy hadn't known exactly what was wrong. Ajay's health could yo-yo, and it could well be that he wasn't feeling well because he was having a slip with his bulimia - which did happen sometimes - or because he was in pain from the Crohn's he had to deal with, like it or not.
Turned out, it was the latter. Ajay had terrible stomach pain, but he had been putting up a professional and friendly facade for a girl that had wanted to meet with Gen. Billy understood the importance of FABULOUS business, having been Gen's PA for awhile, but Ajay needed to listen to his body. He had this chronic illness that could be crippling for him sometime. It was Billy's job as his husband to step in and care for him. That afternoon, Ajay had been really sick. He ended up being stuck in the bathroom for ages, lamenting in misery how he could have been stuck at work like that... likely ending up completely mortified. Ajay was such a private and self-conscious person with his mental illness. He was better at home, where it was okay to be sick and fragile around your other half.
Billy had it all in hand. Though, after managing to finally get out of the bathroom, Ajay had just needed to go to bed and sleep. Which is exactly what he did. Billy kept checking on him frequently in between watching the Queen concert at Wembley Stadium. Ajay had to really be watched closely when he got sick like this because the condition could mean he got internal bleeds, which were a medical emergency. So far, it hadn't seem to have gotten to that point, touch wood.
Billy then offered a hot water bottle in a fluffy purple cover for Ajay's stomach that he had tucked under his arm, and came around to plant his butt on the edge of the sofa in against Ajay's hip. He was waiting on the pot of peppermint tea to brew, the only thing Ajay was managing to keep down at the moment. Even just the thought of having a Christmas meal was making Ajay retch. If they needed ti dial back Christmas to peppermint tea, Pepto and hot water bottles, that was exactly what they would do. He touched Ajay's forehead with the back of his fingers. "You've still got a fever. Are you sure we shouldn't take you to the hospital to get checked out?"
