Mac Taylor/Adam Ross (CSI:NY)

Adam was almost falling asleep by the time they were done with him and the pain was dulled and his injuries cleaned and taken care of. He hadn’t noticed Mac entering his hospital room at first, and when he realized that he wasn’t alone anymore, Mac had already stepped up to his bed and there was no need to be scared.

Mac had changed clothes since Adam had seen him last – and had it really been just a few hours? It seemed longer – and he moved carefully, like someone who didn’t want to show much pain they were in.

Mac didn’t say anything, and neither did Adam, who just had opened his eyes a small crack to make sure that he really wasn’t in any danger, and then he had closed them again. He didn’t want to look at Mac for too long. He was sure that Mac was disappointed in him, again.

Mac was probably just here to check that Danny was okay, anyways – Adam had asked the nurse, and she’d just smiled and told him not to worry about Danny, and Adam was too tired to follow up on that particular line of questioning, although he promised himself that he would do so once he was feeling a bit more like himself.

Mac was just standing next to him for what felt like hours, and Adam grew more and more uncomfortable. He was thinking about opening his eyes and saying something, but he didn’t know what, and before he could come to a decision, Mac was leaning down, over the bed, over him, and brushed his lips against Adam’s cheek. It was so unexpected that Adam just stayed frozen in shock and didn’t dare moving a single muscle.

He stayed like that long after Mac had straightened and walked out.

Later, when he was sitting next to Danny, his hand protectively cradled against his chest, with Detective Flack, Lindsay and Hawkes in the room as well, he found out that Mac had taken a few days off and had gone to London with Dr Driscoll.
