Author Note- Thanks for reading chapter 2! We will be learning more about what happened to Reno and finding out how sick he really is getting. Listen to the song Pompeii by Bastille to get an idea of what I was feeling for the mood of this chapter. Thanks again and please review! :D

Later that afternoon the two lovers were sitting on the couch enjoying a quiet moment alone. Alone other than the massive black form that lay sprawled out on the floor at their feet. Reno looked down at the Guard Hound and smirked. Whoever the crazy scientist was who named this beast must have been so scared out their minds they couldn’t see straight, because it was painfully obvious that this was a cat- in every sense of the word both in appearance and behaviors. The redhead looked over at the other man sitting next to him and leaned his head on his chest. Rufus gently ruffled the messy red hair and smiled as he heard Dark Nation purring in her sleep.
“I’m glad the two of you have finally learned to get along” he said with a chuckle.
“Yo, wasn’t my fault” Reno said with mock pain in his voice. “The beast had it in for me from the first day I saw her!”
The two smiled at each other as they remember that day fondly. Reno was still fairly new to the Turks, having only been part of the team for about a month or so. He had been trying to find Rufus to deliver some important papers to him to sign. In his rush to complete the task the redhead had failed to knock on the office door and without thinking straight had opened the door and just walked in. An instant later he was staring into the snarling face of the Guard Hound. Like a flash, Dark Nation lunged at the intruder, sending Reno scrambling onto the desk in the Vice President’s office. A massive hole in the pant leg of his suite and shreds of black material hanging from Dark Nation’s mouth, Reno perched on the desk as the Guard Hound circled the desk menacingly. It wasn’t until Rufus got back to his office after what felt like an eternity that the young Turk was rescued. The two would go on to remember that day and Rufus would often take the opportunity to tease his love about that first encounter with his pet.
“You can’t really blame her though” Rufus said as he leaned over and scratched the great cat behind the ears, earning a deep purr of gratitude. “For all she knew you were an assassin come to get me. She was just doing her job. Weren’t you Dark Nation?”
Reno stuck is tongue out and leaned over and pet the great beast on the back fondly.
“I am glad she doesn’t attack me anymore though” he said in a serious tone. “I don’t think I’ve been that scared in my life before.”
Rufus laughed and pulled his lover closer and gently wrapped his arms around him, taking care to avoid the shoulder with the ugly black marks as much as he could. The redhead hardly wore a shirt anymore due to how painful and sensitive the Stigma mark was. On a bad day, even his own hair brushing against it felt like razors slicing at his skin. So, he opted to go shirtless most of the time. Reno leaned closer and snuggled against the older man’s chest and closed his eyes. One arm dangled off the couch and Dark Nation gave is a gentle loving lick before laying down and drifting to sleep. Soon the former Turk was sound asleep, safe and comfortable in his lovers’ strong and protective arms.
For several hours they stayed like that, Rufus unable and unwilling to disturb the redhead as it was getting harder and harder for Reno to sleep well due to the pain the Stigma was causing him. Rufus felt his own eyes start to go heavy and he began to nod off as well, one arm folded behind his head, the other nestled in the red tangle of hair that was tickling his chest. Some time later Rufus felt something warm and wet on his hand. As he began to stir, he realized Dark Nation was licking his hand which had slid down off the couch. He gave her a gentle pet as he began to wake up. Suddenly he realized Dark Nation was growling slightly and kept nudging and licking at his hand as if she was trying to tell him something was wrong.
Rufus pushed himself up slightly against the arm of the couch as he became aware of Reno laying against him. They redhead was hot with a fever and he was moaning in his sleep. The blonde cursed himself under his breath for falling asleep and letting his guard down. Reno had been doing fairly good for the most part until this morning, he had let his guard down. After struggling for a few minutes to get himself upright, Rufus held the smaller man close and laid a hand on his head and muttered a few choice swear words under his breath again. Shifting the redhead in his arms he stood, scooping Reno up into his arms and carried him back into the bedroom, Dark Nation following at his heels.
Rufus laid him on the bed gently and went to the bathroom, returning a few minutes later with a bowl of cool water and several clean washcloths. When he walked back into the bedroom, he couldn’t help but smile slightly as he saw Dark Nation laying on the bed next to Reno, his body dwarfed by the massive black form that was trying to lay as close to him as possible without squishing him. Rufus gently rubbed the cat behind the ears and sat on the edge of the bed and wet one of the washcloths and wrung it out.
As he placed it on the redhead’s forehead he began to stir, his eyes opening slowly, his face etched with pain as his breath caught in his throat as he tried to speak.
“It’s alright, Reno…I’m right here” he whispered as he gently wet Reno’s face. “You’re running another fever” he said a grim look on his face as the redhead shuddered and closed his eyes. They both knew what that meant.
Ever since the Stigma had lingered after most people were cured three years ago, Reno would suffer from random flares. He would spike a high fever, his pain levels would shoot through the roof, and if it was a particularly bad flare, he would end up with convulsions and full-blown seizures before the fever would start to subside. There was no rhyme or reason to the flares and no indication that one was about to come on other than the sudden onset of a fever. Rufus prayed this wouldn’t be a bad one, though he knew in his heart it likely would be since his lover had not had a bad flare in over a month. Reno broke through his thoughts as he spoke, his voice hoarse and cracking in his throat.
“Rufus… remember… remember I love… you” he said as his deep green eyes, shadowed with the pain he was already feeling, looked up into the bright blue eyes of his lover.
“And I love you” Rufus said softly as he wet the cloth and placed it back on Reno’s forehead.
For what felt like an eternity Rufus sat there, trying to keep his lover as comfortable as he could. He hated feeling so useless and helpless. He could face a firing squad or a horde of assassins and he would not feel the faintest flicker of fear. When Reno was having a bad day and when the Geostigma flared he felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest. He would rather endure any type of pain himself then be forced to watch the man he loved suffer and know that there was little he could do to help him.
Dark Nation seemed to feel the same as she lay beside the former Turk and nuzzled him gently as the redhead lay on the bed groaning in pain. As the big cat gently licked at Reno’s cheek the redhead opened his eyes weakly and looked at Dark Nation then at Rufus.
“What is…” he groaned as another wave of pain washed over him, stealing even the very breath from his lungs.
“She wants you to hold her if you need to” Rufus said simply, his sad eyes looking down at the two living beings that meant all the world to him. “Dark Nation would lay beside me when the Geostigma would take hold of me to the point I could do nothing but cry from the pain. She never moved from my side and she would stay with me through the worst of the flares. I think she wants to do the same for you now” he said simply, surprised to find that his vision was blurring slightly with tears.
Reno looked up at his love and then shifted in the bed so he was on his side a bit more and wrapped his arms around the mass of black fur that lay beside him. Dark Nation moved closer so her body was pressed firmly yet gently against Reno’s and purred softly as the red head began to tremble, his arms tightening their hold on the feline and a painful moan escaping his lips.
