Summary:

Ray has a migraine and Benton wants to help him





Sometimes Benton worried about Ray. Not only was Ray brave and fearless but also reckless; the time he drove a motorcycle through a window came to mind. As Benton saw the GTO sitting in front of Ray’s apartment his worry heightened. Ray had not shown up to work and when he tried to call Ray all he got was a message from Ray’s answering machine.

He and Dief walked up to Ray’s apartment and he used the spare key Ray had given him to open the door.

‘Ray, are you here?’ He called out and heard a load groan from Ray’s bedroom.

He walked to Ray’s bedroom and noticed several things. First, he saw that Ray was laying on his bed with his head under his pillow. Second the stench of vomit hit his nose and he saw a pool of vomit on the floor next to the bed.

‘Are you all right?’

‘Nah…gotta migraine. Close the blinds. Light hurts.’

‘Of course,’ He said as he went over to the window and closed the blinds. The light dimmed and he was reminded of his Grandmother who had also suffered from migraines. She often said that they were more painful than childbirth.

‘Is there anything I can do for you?’

Ray weakly lifted the pillow from his head. ‘Yeah, will you lay down with me?’

‘Of course,’ Benton said as he took off his boots and hat and laid down next to Ray. Maybe it was the defused light or that he was lying next to Ray but it felt strangely intimate. He remembered something his Grandfather used to do for his Grandmother when she had a migraine and decided to try it. He rolled over onto his side and placed his fingers onto Ray’s forehead.

‘Feels good. So cold’ Ray said as they laid there.

After several minutes Benton must have fallen asleep because he woke up and the bed was empty.

He walked out of Ray’s room and noticed that Ray must have cleaned up his vomit because the floor was clean and smelled like a lemon scented cleaning product.

Ray was sitting on his couch. Dief was resting his head on Ray lap and Ray was petting him.

Ray seemed to be feeling better and Benton was grateful that he could help. If partnership was a marriage, he would take care of Ray as long as he could.
