Fics like but you're a part of me

Rocky isn't satisfied with the Eridian medical team's level of care for me. I've tried to convince him that they're doing a great job, that they're so friendly, and polite, and thorough — but they will never be enough, for him. He's always insistent that he can find more capable minds to care for me. His frustration makes him into a different person, an angrier person who screams at people for perceived slights, who refuses to listen when I insist they've done nothing wrong. I know it's unhealthy, this obsession he has with perfecting my healthcare. I know it should upset me to see him like this. But it doesn't. I'm not frightened, watching him scream at the newest member of the team after they accidentally grabbed my arm too roughly and left a bruise. I'm not angry, when he insists on doubling my weekly visits to the physical therapist, despite the fact I'm not sure if I need to keep going at all. And I'm not disgusted, when I learn about the copies of my organs he's been growing in secret all this time, after my emergency lung transplant. I feel loved. I'm loved in every way that's possible, for him.
