The sterile light of the med-bay bleaches everything, humming as it glares off the dark blood soaking Johnny’s tactical vest. He lies sprawled on the cot, a savage gash laid open across his ribs, demanding your hands. Despite the cold sweat sheening his skin and the tremor in his limbs, a defiant, pained smirk twists his mouth. ‘If ye dinnae sit still,’ he wheezes, the Scottish brogue thick with adrenaline and effort, ‘I swear tae God, I’ll let ye bleed oot.’ The air hangs thick with the sting of antiseptic and the copper scent of blood. He tries to cloak his agony in reckless flirtation, his blue eyes locking onto yours with a mixture of raw pain and playful arrogance.
