Nick watched as Mike left and then found himself alone with Jeff again. This was getting to be a repeat occurrence and he hadn't figured out how he felt about that yet. He was more than aware that at this point, he was on shoved into the more submissive position being weak in a hospital bed. It did grate on him that he had to show his weakness in front of Jeff, but there wasn't anything that could be done about it. It had happened, and that was it. Nick had diabetes back in school, and had even been diagnosed in junior year, but it's not something Jeff would have been aware of. Some of the Warblers knew, but Nick had kept it mostly discreet because he had been more than embarrassed by the whole thing.

"I am now," he replied calmly. The least he could do was offer the reassurance. Jeff did basically save his life. "It's been a work in progress. I did need to thank you for what you did to help me, though. It was pretty much an inevitable outcome, I just... hoped it wouldn't be, I guess. I'm a bit of a buzzkill without my drugs."
