Rolling his eyes at that, he arched a brow at him. "When you make me spontaneously combust one day, I want it on my tombstone that it was your damn fault." It was more teasing than anything else. He hated being flustered all the damn time, but he wouldn't trade it for the world. Especially since he only remembered bein' that way for a short while at the beginning of his and Joce's relationship. Didn't last long. Jim on the other hand, even as just friends, could get him to turn red with the right words. Curse or blessing, he wasn't so sure, but he had a feelin' it was permanent with Jim.
"Damn right." Leonard snorted at that, his attention back on the food. "If I don't have heart problems cause of you, it's gonna be stress and mental breakdown." Pointing his fork at him, he leveled a look at him. "You do know the human heart can break and kill a person, right?" Cause much as Jim might find it cute to make the doctor a mess, he just wondered if he knew just how much it wore him down as well. "Not sayin' I want you to stop bein' you, but you could take into consideration that you're gonna be my death at the rate you're goin'."
He'd laugh at Jim's words, but he rolled his eyes instead. "Don't be such an infant, Jim. I only get rough with you cause you ended up pissin' me off somehow. You know damn well that I can be careful with them when I'm not in a mood." Which... tended to be often with Jim cause he either ran from him or got hurt in some damn fool way that made Jim need the hypospray to begin with. And honestly, he was tryin' not to be vaguely hurt about that last comment. "Sure none of them are nearly as skittish as you. And honestly, if you hate it that much, when we get back I could just put M'Benga as your primary care physician." Which.. would make him even more of a nervous wreck, but if Jim disliked it that much, maybe that option shouldn't be overlooked.
