Heaven

Marton sighed exasperated as he waited for the doctors to disconnect all the machinery. He was getting out of here and not a moment to soon! Another two weeks here and he'd have gone insane! He was grateful that Orli was so persuasive and that Peter had hired a private nurse to give him his pills! In exactly one hour Orli would take him home! Well not to his home, he was going to live at Orli's until the doctors thought he was well enough to live alone. Marton smiled when Orli breezed into the room and picked up the small bag he'd brought.

"Ready to go home with me?" Orli winked playfully at him.

"I have been since I first laid eyes on you." Marton winked as he slowly got to his feet.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"No you can't and that's final!" Orli growled exasperated as he plumped the pillows under Marton's head.

"Yes mum." came the sarcastic reply.

Orli rolled his eyes and flopped down on the edge of the bed. Sighing he took Marton's hand and thouhow how to phrase his next words.

"Do you want to push yourself to the breaking point?" he snapped out.

"If needs be! Look Orli not that I don't appreciate all you've done for me but you have to quit nagging me like a mother hen!" Marton drew his hand away and looked away from Orli.

"You almost died. You were in a coma! And now you want to get up only three days after the fact and go back to work!" Orli blinked back tears as he stumbled to his feet. "Well fine! Go then. I'm sorry I ever cared!"

Orli took two steps toward the door before Marton reached out and stopped him.

"I'm sorry. It's just...damn it do you have any fucking clue how useless I feel just laying here?" Marton balled his hand up and punched the bed.

"Yes I do actually." Orli took off his shirt and turned around so Marton could see the scar on his back.

"Damn...what in the...?"

"I fell and broke my back. I was told I'd never walk again but then I had surgery and twelve days later I walked out of the hospital." Orli turned and sat next to Marton. "So I do understand what you're going through. Been there, done that." he quipped with a slight smirk. "Now I get to fuss over you."

Marton shook his head as he laughed. "Incorrigible minx."

"Damn straight. Now get some rest. The others will be over to visit soon." Orli smiled as Marton closed his eyes and was asleep almost instantly.

Shaking his head Orli descended the stairs and went into the kitchen to cook some lunch. Halfway through a knock sounded at the door and he reluctantly answered it.

"Yes?" Orli stared out the door as no one was there. A yellow vase of flowers was on the stoop. He picked them up and looked around. Frowning he slowly closed the door and went back into the kitchen. He placed them on the counter and stared at them. The card simply read To Marton From: An Admirer. Perplexed, Orli ate his lunch anen pen prepared a tray for Marton. He wanted to know who would send his Marton roses and what was their name?
