Jim lay in the hospital bed, thrashing about like crazy. His fever was still sitting at 102.2 and the doctors said it was finally starting to drop. <\/p>\n
\nBlair knew there was nothing he could do, but he kept trying to talk to Jim anyhow. The doctor had told him he was hallucinating and he probably didn\u2019t hear a word Blair was saying. But Blair wouldn\u2019t give up. He baked some of Jim\u2019s favorite cookies and brought them up to the hospital, hoping that the smell alone would start to help him get better. <\/p>\n
\nJim looked at Blair and said, \u201cYou look good enough to eat.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSimon cleared his throat and said, \u201cDo you want me to leave?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNo\u2026He doesn\u2019t know what he\u2019s saying.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou\u2019re one of my favorite things in the world,\u201d Jim said happily. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhat is he talking about Sandburg?\u201d Simon wanted to know. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cHell if I know,\u201d Blair replied. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou smell good too,\u201d Jim whispered to Blair. <\/p>\n
\nBlair blushed and said, \u201cMaybe it\u2019s the cookies. He loves Gingerbread cookies, so I made him some.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSimon asked, \u201cDo you want a cookie, Ellison?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cI didn\u2019t realize that you guys came that big,\u201d Jim said. <\/p>\n
\nBlair burst out laughing and said, \u201cHe thinks we\u2019re cookies.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOh for crying out loud, he doesn\u2019t either,\u201d Simon grumbled. <\/p>\n
\nBlair got a cookie for Simon and said, \u201cEat one.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSimon took a bite out of the cookie and Jim almost sat up in bed, in shock. \u201cYou eat your own?\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSimon burst out laughing and so did Blair. Blair pushed Jim back down on the bed and said, \u201cHe\u2019s a bad<\/b> Gingerbread Man.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSimon glared at Blair and then said, \u201cHe looks like he\u2019s sleeping finally. And look, his temperature is coming down a little bit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThank God, I would hate to have him go after you all hooked up on IVs and stuff. He was pretty upset with you,\u201d Blair teased. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cYou did that on purpose. You knew he was going to say that didn\u2019t you?\u201d <\/p>\n
\n\u201cOf course I didn\u2019t know that. How would I know what a man with a high fever is going to say,\u201d Blair stated simply. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cJust remember what he said to you at first. It\u2019s going to be going all around the bullpen.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhat? What are you talking about?\u201d Blair asked feigning innocence. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cHe said you looked good enough to eat. He was looking at you, not a cookie,\u201d Simon commented, \u201cis there anything you need to get off your chest?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cOh fine. Upset the poor sick man while he\u2019s under medication and fevers. He\u2019ll probably dump me now,\u201d Blair said. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cWhy in the world would he dump you?\u201d<\/p>\n
\n\u201cBecause I hang around with Gingerbread Men that eat their own. He\u2019s got his standards,\u201d Blair kidded. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cOkay, you win. Neither of us brings this up to him. But you owe me a batch of these cookies. They are really good.\u201d Simon ate another one and smiled. <\/p>\n
