Jaded Jim 1
Mr. Cynical
Jim had screwed up and almost lost his partner. He had almost lost Blair. God, what the fuck was he thinking of? Why the hell did he think he wanted Sandburg in this line of work? Well, now he would have plenty of time to think about it, while Sandburg was in the hospital.
He and Sandburg had walked right into a robbery attempt and both had gotten caught off guard. Blessed Protector, my ass, thought Jim. He felt as though he was world-wearier as time went on. What was going to finally cause him to break down and admit Blair needed to be somewhere else? Jim realized he was fucking selfish.
Sandburg, being Sandburg, felt the need to jump in front of a bullet. He thinks he's fucking Superman. Jim had made a move on the robbers and they tried to kill him. So, of course, Sandburg had to try to be the hero. Oh wait, mighty Sentinel, let me throw my body in front of yours. When he gets better, he's going to get his ass kicked. The doctor says that the bullet was easily removed but if it had been a little bit lower, they would have lost Sandburg.
When he went into the bullpen, everyone gathered around his desk to see how Sandburg was doing and Jim yelled at them and said, "If you want to know how he is, why not stop up there and see him? I'm not the only one capable of seeing how he is doing. I thought you were all his friends. Well as far as I know, friends go visit friends when they are in the hospital."
They all backed off, knowing full well, Jim was right. They would leave him alone and start making plans to call or visit with Sandburg. They all talked to each other about it as they went about their day.
Jim walked over to Simon's door and knocked, Simon said, "Come on in, Jim."
Jim said, "Sir, I want to put in for a transfer. Please just hear me out first. I'd really like to have Sandburg make it to his 31st birthday. He won't, if he hangs out with me much longer. Everyone I know or love ends up dead or leaving me. Either way, they are gone. I just think it would be better if I transferred to somewhere quiet and boring. Any ideas?
Simon looked at him and quietly said, "Jim, you're so full of shit. You're in love with your partner and you don't want to lose him. That's to be expected but transferring won't make things any better. You were both off duty when this happened. This could've happened even if you weren't cops at all. You're not talking about the main issue here. You're in love with a man. I would think maybe for the first time. I could be wrong. At any rate, it makes sense to me, to talk to Sandburg about it and then we can discuss what you should do. He is your partner and deserves to be discussing this with us. Think about it, Jim."
Jim just sank down into the sofa in the office and buried his face in his hands and said, "Simon, I don't know what to do. Does everyone know that I'm in love with Sandburg? I really thought I kept my feelings under wraps. I mean, he's like this major babe magnet and I wouldn't even know where to begin talking to him about it. What do you think I should do?"
Simon glared at him and said, "Okay, dumb shit. First of all, I was in the ambulance with you and Sandburg. I heard you say, I love you Chief. He heard it too, Jim. It's not like it's a big newsbreak now but I didn't know until then. I don't think the kid knew either. But I do think that Sandburg feels the same way. I could tell by the way he looked at you. Go and talk to him Jim. Things have a way of working out."
Jim started to get up and said, "Simon if I still want to leave, will you consider transferring me? I don't know what to do at this point. But I do know that I don't want Sandburg to have this type of life. I was being very selfish, as always. Only looking out for myself."
Simon answered, "Yes, Jim, I will consider it when the time comes. Now go and talk to your partner. And Jim, keep in mind that you have become very cynical lately. So, this has some bearing on this too. If you are discontented, then by all means, let's get you out. But if you are just tired, let's work on it. Sandburg will agree with me on this, I am sure."
"Thanks, Simon," Jim said, as he walked out of Simon's office.
Jim knew right then and there that he had to go and see his partner. See what was happening with them. Ask Blair how he felt about them together.
As he walked into the hospital room, Blair opened his eyes and had a big smile on his face. He was thrilled to see Jim. Blair figured that Jim would be running off by now.
Blair smiled as he said, "Hey Jim. How are you doing? I was just wondering where you were. Is everything all right at work? Is Simon mad?"
Jim smiled back at all of his partner's questions and answered, "Blair, I should be asking you how you are doing, not you asking me. But since you asked, I'm fine. Just a little down considering I wasn't much of a blessed protector on this one. As to where I was, I was busy doing all the paper work so that I could come up and sit the rest of the night and talk your ears off. And no, Simon is not mad. He is quite the opposite. He's very proud of you, Chief. Don't worry about this kind of nonsense. So how are you feeling? And when do you get out of here?"
Blair had a big smile on his face as he said, "Man, the doctor says I've got to stay here for like four days or something, but I asked him to talk to you about letting me go home. I don't want to stay here, Jim. Okay? Please let me come home. I know I screwed up, but I'll get better at this."
"Chief," Jim said, "I can't believe you are saying that. You didn't do a thing wrong. You were doing your job and we were off duty. They took us off guard. You did everything by the book. Don't second-guess anything you do. Everyone is really proud of you. Especially me. Now that that is said, can I ask you a question?"
Blair looked wearily at Jim and said, "You can ask me anything you want, man, and you know that."
Jim took a deep breath and asked, "Do you really want to be a cop, Chief, or did you do it just for me? I really need to know this. It's something I actually need to look at before I make some decisions. I asked Simon for a transfer and he told me not until I talked to you. I need to understand how you feel about the job and me. I'm not doing this very well, Chief. I wanted to tell you that I'm in love with you and I worry about you. I don't know if I want you in this line of work where there is a chance of me losing you daily. It scares the crap out of me."
"Take a breath, Jim," Blair laughed, "Don't worry about me, I love being a cop. I think I might be a good one, someday. I'm not too concerned about getting hurt. Hell I got hurt at Rainier more than I do on the new job. That is not a problem. I love you too, Jim. A lot. And I would like it very much if you kissed me right about now even if you are a big selfish prick."
"Hey, who said I was a prick?" Jim said smiling, "I do love you, Chief. I said I thought I might be selfish, not a prick." Jim walked right next to the bed and leaned over the rail and touched his lips to Blair's. The feeling was like being struck by an electrical charge. It felt really good, but yet scary at the same time. So then he decided to move it up a few notches. He started kissing him with a little more passion to let Blair know what was in store for him.
Blair pushed Jim away from him as he said, "Jim, give me a second, we are in a hospital room for Christ's sake. Give me a break. I have a boner from hell. Do you have any ideas on how to take care of that since we are stuck here? This would be one of those days I don't like you that much. You're such a cock tease."
Jim smiled and said, "I'll be back in a flash." He walked out the door and went to the nurse's station and asked to talk to the doctor and nurse in charge of Blair Sandburg. They both came over to him and asked if they could help Jim. He smiled and said, "I certainly hope so. My partner and I are partners in all ways, if you get my drift. You've told him he can't go home for a while and he needs some release if you get the gist. I'd like to give him that release but I need someone to watch the door for me. I wouldn't hurt him for anything. He will sleep better afterwards so this will help you out in the long run." Then Jim just stood back and let the two of them think.
The nurse said to the doctor, "Well, I don't see a problem. There is a lock on the door. They're both adults. They aren't going to hurt anyone. He didn't have to ask, but he did, hoping you and I would approve. Well, I do."
The doctor looked over at Jim and smiled as he said, "Did you know that those locks on the doors get stuck sometimes? And if you needed to get out of the room for some reason, we would just give you like four knocks to let you know we are checking into it. Keeping in mind that Mr. Sandburg is not to do anything to hurt that shoulder."
They both turned around and walked back to the desk and started laughing. Jim could hear them talking to each other. They thought that Jim and Blair were a cute couple. He would have to send them some flowers and candy. He headed back to the room. Walking in, he shut the door and locked it. He looked over at Blair and saw he was sound asleep.
He took down the bed rail, pulled off the covers and saw that Blair was naked under the dressing gown. He ran his hand across Blair's cock with such gentleness that it surprised even Jim. He saw that Blair was getting semi-hard without even being awake. His eyes flew open and Jim started kissing his nipples and sucking on them making them very hard. He moved his way down Blair's belly, kissing every single inch of skin he saw. Then he was where he wanted to be. He licked Blair's cock and Blair about flew out of the bed. Jim laughed when he watched Blair put the pillow over his face to keep the noise down. Jim then took Blair's cock into his mouth and began the slow process of driving his lover insane. Blair was trying to be so quiet but he was having a really hard time doing that. Suddenly, Jim felt Blair's cock grow harder and fuller. He knew Blair was there. He sucked a little harder and Blair made a moaning noise through the pillow and came down Jim's throat.
Blair, pulling the pillow from his face, said, "Holy Shit, Jim. What the hell was that? Not that I am complaining. I loved it. You just rocked my world, man. And you think you are cynical. A cynical man would never do what you just did. You want to be like Dirty Harry, but instead you are like a Jaded Jim. Mr. Distrustful you aren't. It doesn't seem fair that I can't do anything back."
Jim said, "Well, you have plenty of time to make up for it Chief. Don't worry about that now."
They both started laughing and Jim said, "So does this mean that you won't be dating anyone else besides your Jaded Jim or do I have to get more cynical? "
Blair laughed as he said, "Jim, I can't take you getting any more cynical than that. Thanks man, I really needed that. I love you. I really love you."
"I love you, back, babe," Jim said. "And speaking of Jaded Jim, the next thing I will show you is another Dirty Harry Movie. Instead of Magnum Force, it would Be Sentinel Force and it will involve you being in cuffs. Next will be Sudden Impact, except then we will call it Sandburg's Impact and last but not least The Enforcer, except we will just call that one, the Sentinel Enforces. I don't even want to go near the Dead Pool."
"Wait a minute," Blair said, "Jim we could do something with Dead Pool. We could call that our Live Fool. How does that sound? Guess who the live fool is?"
Blair was laughing his ass off when there was a knock at the door. Jim got Blair all covered up and settled and went and unlocked the door. Simon walked by Jim and headed right to Sandburg and said, "Sandburg, did you talk some sense into this man's thick head yet?"
Blair smiled and said, "Yes, sir, we have it all planned out. No worries."
Simon looked between the two of them and knew he was going to have his hands full of this damn Jaded Jim and his sidekick. He had heard them talking about it while he stood in the hallway waiting for the door to open. It was enough to make him want to laugh right now. Mr. Tough guy, Mr. Macho, evidentially hadn't shown up today. Which was fine with Simon.
End part one.
Part Two: Sentinel Force, instead of Magnum Force
Part Three: Sandburg's Impact, instead of Sudden Impact.
