magicmomentsWho: Merlin Blake, Olympia Duvall and Beau Watson (with Brandon Blake)
What: Heavy Burdens
Where: Oncology Unit, Mount Sinai
When: After this
It was Olympia who found a unique way for Merlin to interact with people beyond the glass walls of the isolation hospital room Brandon had to stay in until the bone marrow engraftment took and his immune system began to recover. He would be lying if he didn’t admit he was going stir crazy. He adored his husband so much and he was in agony with how sick Brandon was but it was proving to be the hardest thing in the world stuck in a room with him and being unable to communicate with him at all. Merlin tried talking to him. He tried reading to him. He definitely tried bawling all over him in a sobbing snotty mess so many times he lost count. But other than the doctors and nurses, even though they were familiar faces, it was hard not being able to spend time with his family and friends.
There had been some FaceTiming. His parents checked in daily but Merlin didn’t always feel like talking. He chatted a bit to Jesse and Damien. He had a long talk with Jaxson, trying to reassure him it was okay to be feeling fucked up with fear that Brandon might die and he couldn’t get close to him to say goodbye if the time came. Merlin asked Tara about that, what might happen if Brandon lost the fight. She told him that the first thing they might notice is Brandon’s skin would feel cool and maybe begin to get a slight blueish tinge as his circulation slowed and his blood pressure would drop significantly. There could be organ failure.
( It would be quick but they would have signs... )
