Yeah. And I'm never gonna let you go.

[Lying next to him, getting as close as he can without moving his body at all.]

[Oh-- He sits up suddenly like he's just remembered something.]

Ah-- I have something to show you.

[Then he opens his palm - just like he'd shown him all that time ago, in the cave - a small flare of that familiar Burnish fire comes to life in his hand.]

Ah!

[He tries to sit up when he sees the fire and then says 'ow!']

Lio! Wow! You got it back?

[He snuffs it out, waving a hand. But it's a practiced, easy motion. Some of his confidence back, with the fire.]

. . . Only some of it. It isn't as strong.

Guess you won't be needing that flamethrower, now.

[He's a little wary of Lio and his fire, but he's glad Lio is happy and feels safer and more confident.]

[Making sure that Galo is comfortable again, pushing him back down by the shoulders, before he settles back down himself.]

Tch-- I wouldn't go that far.

[Going ow! He's going to keep moving around and hurting himself, because he's dumb.]

You gonna keep starting fires on me, even when I'm laid up in bed?

[Shushing him, pressing on his arm until he lays still and stops trying to move like a dumbass.]

I suppose I can take a few days off.

[Fine, laying still. But he wants to kiss? Looking at him like he wants to kiss.]

. . . Has everybody been being nice to you?

[It's only been a couple hours, Galo, and he's been in here.]

[He would like to kiss too, but is it a good idea!!! He had glass in his face a few hours ago.]

Ah-- I haven't really spoken to anyone yet. I've been with you.

[Oh, good thinking, Lio might get cut with the glass!! No, that's not the issue at all!]

Oh. Well, if anyone's mean to you, tell me. I'll beat them up.

I won't tell you, then.

[Jus' keeping it real. But, also, fine, he would like to kiss like. Just a little. One kiss, as a treat. Moving to lean over him extremely carefully, so Galo doesn't have to move - giving him one (1) smooch.]

[Starting to move his arm to cup his face, and then oof! That hurts. This dweebus can't even just lie still and be kissed for five minutes. Also, objecting to that.]

No! Tell me!

[Pushing the arm back down!! Which also probably hurts.]

Just don't move, and I'll kiss you, idiot.

[Yes, that also hurts, but lying still for his hero kisses. Thank you, nurse.]

[This is the part of nursing he is good at. The sexy part. Giving him his hero kisses, for being a hero, but the instant he whines or says "ow," Lio's stopping!!!]

[He'll kiss for a little bit, and then eventually gets too into it and tries to move again and says ow. What a loser.]

[Holding his face so he stays very still and pulling back!!! He's irritated now, partially because kissing seems to be . . . kind of difficult like that, and he'd very much like to kiss him.]

You should rest.

Aww. I don't wanna.

[He is pretty tired and sore, though. He can't deny it, but he just wants to lie here and bask in his gay feelings and hero kisses instead of sleep.]

[Okay, okay, fine, what if he does both. At least the bask in gay feelings and rest part. Maybe the hero kissing needs to wait a few days. Lio is moving to try and prop himself between Galo and the pillows, so he can cradle his head and force him to lay still at least. ]

I'm not going anywhere.

You better not.

[Leaning into his touch the most that he can, looking up at him.]

I almost lost you, and I never want to do that again. So you have to stick close, so I can keep protecting you.

[He's . . . pretty tired himself. It isn't as if he's really slept for days either. Maybe dying counts as a brief rest, but he wasn't even dead that long. Kissing the top of his head.]

I think perhaps it is my turn now.

[He's quiet for a long minute, taking that in. He knows Lio is right, and if he's being fair, if he's treating Lio like an equal, like the badass and incredible person he knows Lio is, he has to let it be Lio's turn now. He laughs a little.]

Aww, man. Okay, but head's up that I'm not sure I know how to do that.
