After Eddie showed up out of the blue and they chatted over tea and Oreos, Jace had asked if Eddie wanted to come back to the hospital with him to meet Jesse. He needed to take a shower and shave, but then he was going to head back to take Jesse some clean pyjamas, underwear, and his iPad so he wasn't bored. He knew it wouldn't be an ideal meeting or anything, because Jesse was recovering from surgery and he wasn't feeling good overall, but no one needed to put up airs and graces for any of this. They weren't that sort of people. Eddie was family, and Jace wanted him to meet Jesse. It was as simple as that.

They had arrived after the patients' meal time, but Jesse tray of jello, apple juice and chicken broth was untouched and pushed to the side. After giving Jesse a soft kiss, Jace had sat down close beside him, taking his hand, and asked him if he was feeling sick because he hadn't touched his meal... as unexciting as it was. Jesse had just given a 'Hn' sort of response and nodded before he saw Jace had company. They were just in the process of introductions when Ethan arrived, with Jace fussing over Jesse because he wasn't feeling much better and still had that pale 'green around the gills' look to him. He glanced over just in time to see Eddie and Ethan scoping each other out, which lasted all of a moment or two before he witnessed what could only be described as eye-fucking. That was eyesex! And he looked at Jesse to see if he noticed too, but his poor boyfriend just had his head rested back on his pillow quietly taking in the fact he had three visitors. "No, it's not a bad time. Come in, dude. You're one of Jesse's favourites, you can stay," he teased and strategically gestured to the two seats next to each other for visitors. "Take a seat... both of you."
