Disclaimer: I think we all know that I don’t own them, cause if I did…. Anyway. Various executives, producers, studios, and writers who have more lawyers on retainer than I want to mess with – own them. I’m not making any money, just borrowing them. I promise to return them to the lab when I’m done with them

Challenge: 100 Drabbles – Horatio Caine/Timothy Speedle

Speed shifted in the bed easing the pressure on his shoulder. The wound was beginning to heal. He had been lucky, the bullet missed his lung by millimeters. Though at times he didn’t feel lucky, instead he wished the bullet had killed him. That way it would have been over.

“Why do you want to die?” Horatio asked suddenly.

Speed looked at him. “Why do you say that?”

“I know you Speed. You’re not that careless.” The redhead leaned forward, taking the wounded man’s hand.

Speed looked at him. “I’m tired.”

“I’ll watch over you while you sleep.” Horatio reached over and cupped his cheek. “When you wake up, I’ll be here.”

Speed closed his eyes drifting off to sleep. Just maybe his soul could heal too.
