Challenge: 100 Drabbles – Horatio Caine/Timothy Speedle

Horatio entered the dark house. He set his keys into the bowl, and removed his gun and badge sitting them in the drawer. Slipping off his shoes he picked them up and carried them upstairs to the bedroom, trying not to make any noise.

Horatio quickly changed out of his suit and into a pair of sleep pants. He sat down next to his lover on the bed, not surprised to see Speed’s migraine medicine on the nightstand.

The redhead could tell earlier that Speed was fighting one of his migraines. His lab had suddenly become darker and all music stopped. A clear sign that it must have been a bad one was when he left early and took a cab home instead of riding his bike.

“H?” Speed mumbled, blindly reaching for him. “Hold me.”

Horatio crawled into the bed and took Speed into his arms. The two drifted off into a comfortable sleep.
