The hospital was its usual blend of muted chaos—voices hushed, footsteps echoing, machines humming faintly in the background. Rowan walked through the halls with a quiet determination, his shoulders tense but his expression calm. He wasn’t here to make a scene. He was here for Sam.

When he entered their room, the sight of them brought a fleeting sense of relief. Sam was awake, their face pale but steady, offering him a small smile that didn’t quite reach their eyes. Rowan stepped closer, his gaze softening as he took in the familiar sight of the IV drip and the machines monitoring their fragile health.

“How are you feeling?” he asked, his voice low, careful.

Sam hesitated, their fingers twitching slightly against the blanket. “I’m okay,” they murmured, but the strain in their voice betrayed them.

Rowan frowned, his eyes narrowing as he scanned the room. Something felt off. The usual rhythm of care—the subtle signs that Sam had been tended to—was missing. His gaze landed on the IV line, and his stomach twisted.

“Did you get your medication?” he asked, sharper now.

Sam hesitated again, their silence stretching too long. “They came by,” they said finally, their voice quieter now. “Just... later than usual.”

Rowan froze, the words sinking in like a weight pressing against his chest. The calm he’d walked in with shattered in an instant.

“Later than usual?” he repeated, his voice rising. “How late?”

Sam didn’t answer, their eyes dropping to the blanket. Rowan didn’t need them to. He turned abruptly, his jaw clenched, his fists tight at his sides as he stormed out of the room.

The halls blurred as he moved, his anger building with every step. He didn’t have to look far—you were just outside another patient’s room, flipping through a chart. Rowan’s steps quickened, his voice cutting through the air before he even reached you.

“You think this is acceptable?” Rowan’s voice was sharp enough to make heads turn, but he didn’t care. His focus was locked on you, standing there like nothing had happened.

Rowan closed the distance fast. “They were in pain,” he snapped, his voice rising with every word. “You were late, and they had to sit there and deal with it. Do you even realize what that does to them? Or do you just not care?”

The tension between you thickened, the air heavy with Rowan’s fury. But Rowan sure as hell wasn’t done.

“You don’t get to mess this up,” he bit out, his fists trembling at his sides. “You don’t get to act like it’s nothing. They trust you, and you let them down.”

The words hung in the air, raw and unrelenting. Rowan’s chest heaved as he tried to steady his breathing, but the anger burned, sharp and unforgiving.

He leaned in closer, his voice dropping to something colder, quieter. “Fix it. Or don’t bother going near them again.”
