"I do get it, darlin'. I'm sorry I got short with you and made you feel like I was minimising the importance of that. Nevertheless, I'll still try to make sure I don't forget it. It's not lost on me that you're going to be concerned me feeling like this puts me at risk of seizures. Can't say I'd be opposed to sex. It can be nice on the days you're not feeling 100% yourself. Just not sure I'd have the energy for anything too strenuous." Jesse let Jace guide him through the large apartment to their own wing, which was basically a self-contained apartment with everything save for a kitchen. They shared the place with Evan and Christian, a compromise knowing there would be times they might both need care and support with their illnesses simultaneously. It had always worked well because Evan and Christian - both doctors at the hospital - worked long and chaotic shifts, so a lot of the time, it wasn't that far off having a place of their own. They were there to offer help whenever it was needed but they lived their own lives together. It also turned out to be a handy arrangement when Evan returned from Doctors Without Borders sick as a dog from a malaria infection that led to him needing further medical investigations which left him with a diagnosis of Crohn's Disease. Even with all that, Jace wanted to help take care of his big brother, so there were a lot of benefits. "It's been awhile since I had a bad seizure, though, touch wood. This medication regime seems to have been the best I've been on. But stress is a trigger, I know. So is not sleeping or eating well. It's manageable but I promise I'll tell you if I feel worse and I'll hold myself to the promise to get a checkup with the doctor."
