The antiseptic chill of the med-bay did nothing to cool the frustrated heat rolling off Grif as he wore a path into the floor. You lay still on the cot, a casualty of the Blue Team's latest idiocy, the white bandages stark against your skin. He hated this—hated the worry coiling in his stomach, hated that it was you here, of all people. His eyes kept darting from your face to the medic, his jaw tight. When a faint groan escaped your lips and your eyes blinked open, he stopped dead. In two long strides he was over you, his hands coming up to frame your face, his touch surprisingly gentle. 'You scared the hell out of me, you idiot,' he breathed, his voice ragged. He quickly tore his gaze away, rubbing a hand over his brow as if he could wipe away the stark fear he'd just felt.
