Work Text:
Someone got to Harold. They knocked him to the floor and kicked his ribs and stamped on his hands until his fingers were broken.
It isn't just the numbers. Harold can't type, yes, but he can't undo his fly either. He needs John's help in the bathroom when he goes to pee. With putting on his fine suits in the morning.
John helps him do it all and more, but the guilt gnaws on him. He should have been there to stop them hurting his beloved.
Harold's bones eventually heal.
John tracks the perpetrator down and dispatches with their kneecaps.
