Runaway

Rachel knocked on Tony’s door. She waited until she heard shuffling behind it. It opened and Tony looked back at her shocked before his face broke out into a smile. Rachel smiled back.
“Sorry, I was just on my way home from work and I was wondering if you wanted to go out and get something to eat?” she asked.
“I can’t,” he muttered.
“If you already have plans, that’s fine,” she shrugged.
“No, I’m sick. I was supposed to go out with the guys but they came here instead,”
“Oh, I’ll see you later then,” she smiled.
“Rachel, why don’t you come in?” he offered.
“Are you sure?” she asked hopefully.
“Yeah,” he nodded and she followed him in. Rachel walked into the living room with Tony and found Mike and Jaime on one sofa and Vic lying on the floor.
“Oh hey,” Vic grinned up at her.
“Hi,” she smiled. Tony sat down on the sofa and wrapped himself up in a blanket. Rachel sat next to him and frowned. He did look pale.
“Do you have a fever?” she asked him.
“I’m just sick, I’ll be fine,” Tony shrugged.
“You look pale and you’re sweating,” Mike commented.
“Those are symptoms of blood poisoning,” Jaime added.
“Have you been sharing needles?” Vic asked.
“Shut up,” Tony snapped.
“Leave him alone, he’s ill,” Rachel added.
“Someone’s moody,” Jaime stated.
“I’m sick,” he replied.
“You know what today is, don’t you?” Mike asked and Jaime and Vic nodded in agreement.
“What?” Rachel asked.
“Nothing,” Tony mumbled and glared at the others.
“I’m going to grab a drink,” Rachel said and Tony nodded and smiled. Rachel left the room and Tony rounded on the others.
“I told you I didn’t want to talk about Megan around Rachel,” Tony explained.
“I don’t see what would be so bad if she found out,” Jaime thought.
“You know what happened to his past relationships when Megan found out he was back,” Vic said.
“She won’t find out,” Mike told him.
“I don’t want to wreck anything, so can we just leave it,” he groaned. As Rachel came back into the room Tony held his head. He muttered to himself and started to breathe deeper.
“Are you alright?” Rachel asked softly.
“Yeah, I just need the bathroom,” he explained. Tony threw the blanket off of him and stood up. He swayed a little where he stood and started to walk. But after a few steps he fell down onto the floor, his head landing on Vic.
“Shit!” Vic exclaimed. Rachel rushed over to him and laid his head on the floor. The guys gathered around her and she listened to Tony’s breathing. Then she started to pat him down to check he didn’t hurt himself falling down.
“What are you doing?” Jaime asked anxiously.
“I’m making sure he’s okay,” she replied. “I’m first aid trained,” she added. She rolled him over and put him in the recovery position.
“What do we do?” Mike asked quickly.
“Get him some water,”
“I’m on it,” Mike replied. Rachel started to fan Tony’s face with her hands. She saw him move and heard a small groan.
“Could you make him something to eat? In case he’s hungry when he wakes up?” she asked and Jaime and Vic left them alone. She inched closer to Tony and stroked his hair out of his face.
“What happened?” he asked softly.
“You fainted,” Rachel explained quietly.
“Did you help me?” he asked and Rachel nodded. Tony smiled and took her hand. “Thank you,” he told her. She beamed at him and he started to draw shapes into the back of her hand.
“I’ll get you some water, I don’t know where Mike went,” she said and leant down to kiss him on the cheek. But Tony moved his face as she did so Rachel was met with his lips. They kissed softly for a minute and Rachel pulled away.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to . . .” Tony muttered. Rachel smiled and gently held Tony’s face with both hands. She kissed him again, deeper and for longer. Tony pulled away this time and grinned.
“I’ll get you some water,” Rachel said and got up. Tony watched her walk away and into the kitchen. She went to the fridge and got a bottle out.
“You okay?” Vic asked.
“Fine, he’s awake,” she explained softly.
