captain mactavish hadn’t left your side since the injury— injuries, technically. he rode with you in the ambulance, and stayed with you when they wheeled you in. john refused to leave, and was forced to wait in the waiting room all night.

it was late. he was exhausted, but refused to sleep, eat or leave.
