be so bad to lay Finch down here, coil around him protectively, nose into the crook of his neck,
and breathe, and breathe, and breathe…
Hugh only snapped to when the elevator door began to slide shut. He intercepted it with his
foot and exited into the hallway, but while his head had come to its senses, his heart wouldn’t
stop racing. Where the devil had the floor idea come from? Finch needed a bed, not an
elevator. A cold, hard metal surface would never do.
Although, come to think of it, Finch did seem to be running a temperature. He was unusually

“Perhaps the stress is getting to me as well.” Hugh chuckled. “What a strange night this has
been so far, and it’s barely even started. Now, let’s get you settled before my daydreams get
any more bizarre.”

Hugh carried Finch to his room, where he laid him in bed on top of his sheets and loosened
the knot of Finch’s tie. Once it was out of the way, Hugh undid the buttons of his shirt and

to hold his hand. “While I’m no Everard,” he said, “I do have limited healing abilities. With some
luck, what I can offer will be enough to help you overcome the effects of… whatever it is that’s
left you in such a state.”
Finch only moaned, so Hugh went forward with channeling his magic into him.
“It may feel strange,” Hugh explained in a soft voice as his magic diffused through Finch’s
