Chapter 10

Dick heard William clinking dishes and silverware in the kitchen. They had slept in, cuddled, then William decided he wanted to shower and make blueberry pancakes for breakfast.

Though Dick had plentiful financial funding, he’d never considered domestic help. Yes, they did have someone who came in once a week and cleaned the serious dirt, but as far as the daily chores, he wasn’t an invalid. Well, at least not this week.

His family attorney, the same one who had worked with his father, had fought every greedy grab for his inheritance, and kept the tabloids to a tolerable irritation level, also kept nagging Dick to name an executor. All his money was already allocated to various charities, but who would pull the plug if he needed a plug puller?

He and William had crossed the two year threshold on their relationship. Never in Dick’s life did he expect to last that long with one man. He didn’t consider assigning a ‘plug-puller’ because he figured if he got that bad he’d simply pull his own plug. That wonderful morphine drip he had already sampled after the femur fracture could be used in many different ways.

Why do I have such morbid thoughts? He rubbed his eyes and face, knowing he should get the hell out of bed, shower, and help William in the kitchen.

Truth was, he couldn’t move. Everything ached. As he aged, his back and legs were so painful in the morning, the urge to never get out of bed was constant. Once he was up, on painkillers and moving, he was okay. But first thing in the morning? He knew agony.

Though some people may assume he had a high pain tolerance, in reality, he had a low tolerance. That’s why he took pills to alleviate it.

The scent of bacon and coffee managed to find him. The kitchen wasn’t in the next room, but he thought maybe the ventilation system brought him the tantalizing aromas.

He couldn’t lie in bed forever. William would call him to eat any minute. Closing his eyes, Dick imagined sitting up before he actually did it. He cringed at the pain. There was a reason he either got up before William or stayed in bed until he left. It was rare that he would allow William to see what shape he really was in. Before Dick could manage to actually move, he heard William’s footfalls in the hall so he lay still.

William poked his head in. “Any minute. Should I bring you a cup of coffee?”

“No. I’ll meet you in the kitchen.” Dick forced a smile through his discomfort.

William threw him a kiss and the footsteps receded.

Visions of the vial and the meds within became his driving force. Dick took a deep inhale and sat up, holding his chest and moving his legs to drop over the side of the bed. He used the nightstand to help him to his feet, feeling like a feeble old man.

Once he was upright, he managed slightly better. He walked slowly to the bathroom, opened the medicine chest and dumped three pills into his hand.
