He took a slow breath in, the cold air filling his lungs, he cracked an eye open, finally opening them after 10000 years of being in cryo, probably a little bit more in cryo. white lights from above poured into his vision as his senses slowly came back to him.
he blinked heavily this time, sitting up slowly his muscles protesting slightly in a slight twing of pain, but gave up trying to stop him from getting up, his cartilage popping loudly.
"good to see you up jayce" said the doctor "just going to run some tests, to make sure everything okay after cryo"
jayce nodded letting the doctors test his reflexes, memory and general health.
"welp, everything seems to be good, your free to leave but any concerns, come see anyone of them medical team."
"will do doc" jayce said smiling, swinging his legs off the side of the bed, his bare feet touching the ground, he pulled his boots on walking out of medical bay, he looked around ARK 5, he found a window looking out into the uncharted space, he couldn't help but smile, his eyes focused on his reflection, his hair blond and slightly curled, plus messy damn he needs a shower, his deep ocean eyes and his pale skin etched with scars of war, his eyes narrowed to the dog tags where a silver ring hung with the tags.
cecil.
jayce walked to the corridor finding himself at the chief medical officers...office, he smirked the door opened with a swoosh and jay stepped in, seeing a tanned man leant on the desk, tapping the notes into the PDA, dark hair pulled into a messy bun, some strands snaking there way into cecils face, jayce smiled, still as handsome when they first left Earth.
"what?" said cecil, not turning around.
"wow, thought you'll be more upbeat that your husband isn't a jayce ice pop, anymore"
the smaller man stopped, spinning around slowly in his chair, hazel eyes wide
"defiantly didn't miss your humour love" that made the blond chuckle
"you missed me though right?" jayce responded a smirk on his lips
cecil chuckled standing, walking over to jayce kissing his scar-ed chin
"maybe, come on you've been in cryo and we both need food" cecil walked out of the office, jayce smirked following after cecil
They got into the canteen, sitting down jayce got a few slices of toast so his stomach wouldn't reject food after so long with going with out it, jayce sighed softly taking a bite of toast "so what did i miss?"
cecil sipped his tea
"been out of cryo for two days, important people were needed the most, and I am one of those important people"
"mmmmm" jayce agreeing with a mouth full
"helped with patience suffering from loss of senses, ice burns memory loss and so on, read through the ARK logs in my free time, ARK 5 is on route, 1s reached its destination and now is unloading and creating homes, the others we haven't heard from yet."
"ah, that's A-no signal because of nebula B-we reached a no signal zone C-the transmitter dish has become damaged during cryo, OR D- worst case scenario" jayce said sipping a glass of water
cecil nodded "pretty much, we also got a cabin together, oh and your B'n'S transplant needs to be tested plus your exo suit"
jayce sipped his water again "the transplant that just regulation or the B'N'S pick something up while in cryo?"
"just standard reg, all pilots will have to go through it"
jayce scowled
"I know, but ill be their"
jayce nodded, relaxing slightly, cecil moved his hand to jayces and held it
"love you jams"
jayce chuckled
"love you to, seasoning"
jayces wrist com went off and jayce scowled at it "trying to e a loving husband here." but clicked answer, a slight chuckle from cecil
"thorn" miller voice rasped
"general, you woke up from cryo?"
"just, everything good, your way?"
"doc said I'm tip top condition, met ces and having something to eat, while ces fills me on what's happened."
"excellent, take it easy, both of you and thorn make sure your exo suit and you B'n'S transplant is tested"
"will do miller, take care"
"will do, see you both at briefing, tomorrow"
the com switched off and jayce sighed, cecil finished their tea, as jayce finished his food and drink standing "guess its owie, that stings, yelling curses time"
"you'll be fine jams"
Jayce laid on his stomach, on the medical bed wincing as the needed were pressed deeper into his transplant in his spine, Cecil sat in front of him holding his hand, trying to keep Jayce mind off the needles in his spine.
"we'll be passing a current through, seeing how your studs reacts and the B'N'S picks it up" the genetic chief said calmly, a little too calmly for Jayce's likings. he just winced in acknowledgement.
the electrical current passed through the needles and jayces body locked up, accidently triggering is cloaking ability, tears sprung to his eyes hearing his rapid heart rate
"jams, breath i got you, breath" cecils hand finding his face, jayce did his best to relax, he de cloaked breathing harshly between gritted teeth "that's it love"
after a few long seconds the studs reacted, drastically reducing the current passing through jay and a few longer minuets the tests were finished
jayce was too sore to move as the medic chief talked about the implant, all that jayce heard was his implants were all good and nothing else, he barley remembered getting to his and cecils room, before passing out
jayce blinked heavily, his brain finally computing, he sat up wincing
"take it easy" hands gentle on his chest, he blinked at cecils hazel eyes, relaxing
"why do they have to hurt to much?" jayce croaked, cecil sighed handing jayce a glass of water
"as its a test to see if you and your transplants are working to the best of their capacity"
jayce sipped his water
"doc said everything's working, knew you were out of it before the doctor even begun talking, sometimes i also wish that the tests were better as it fries your brain and make you hard to carry when your space"
jayce smirked "hey, I'm not that-"
cecil stared at him
"okay maybe"
"also new on your exo, marks ran tests, on your exo your spring boot on the left side is slightly loose so he's sorting it, he also says hi, and I'm saying as the chief medical officer to stay in bed with me. as its been 10000 years plus 2 days to hug and hold you"
jayce chuckled "missed you too seasoning" they kissed gently relaxing cecil kicked off hid boots, rolling up his jeans showing his cybernetic leg, pulling it off, rolling into bed with jayce, jayce wrapped his arms around cecil
"love you"
"love you too"
cecil started to nod off falling asleep in cecils chest, jayce lay their in darkness listing to cecils breathing smiling softly, he's waited 10000 years for this cuddle he fell asleep snoring quietly
