“Right yeah, sorry um, yeah, we should go back to one of ours… preferably yours…” Kyle rubbed at the back of his neck.

Arthur put a hand on the other's shoulder, "Are you ok?" He asked gently.

Kyle nodded and offered a small smile, “Yeah, I’m okay, don’t worry.”

Arthur pulled him close as they walked, arm around the other's shoulders.

Kyle leaned against Arthur, an arm around his waist. He was still slightly skittish but on the whole, fine.

"Love you " said Arthur, turning onto the path to head home.

“W-Wait what?” Kyle asked, red faced.

"You heard me" said Arthur calmly.

“But…” Kyle frowned a little, “A-Are you sure?”

"Yes" he said firmly, squeezing the other's shoulders.

Kyle was quiet for a moment before he said very quietly, “I-I love you too…”

Arthur smiled, leading them up to his apartment, letting go when they got inside. As soon as he had his boots off he headed straight for the kitchen sink, grabbing the vinegar and mixing up a glass, drinking it whole. gagging a little he got more water.

Kyle slipped his shoes off as Arthur went to the kitchen. He quickly headed to the bathroom to clean his cut of. He did so swiftly and soon headed back into the kitchen.

Arthur coughed, "Downfalls of using fangs in a fight…." he groaned, "You ok? That cut wasn't too deep was it?"

Kyle shook his head, “No, it wasn’t.” The fabric on his jumper but had ripped due to the cut and it’s was clearly seen on the upper part of his arm. It looked deeper then he was letting on.

Arthur saw it and sighed, "That is pretty deep for just a cut." He said, ignoring the foul taste in his mouth. pulling out his amulet he summoned a sliver of fire red aura, laying his fingers near the cut it began to heal quite quickly. Though Arthur could already feel strength leaving him.

Arthur watched him carefully, biting his lip softly, “Thanks, Arthur but it was fine, really.”

Arthur let the aura fade when he was finished, leaning on the counter, "That's the kind of cut that can get infected all too easily." he said flatly, "I'm not gonna let that happen."

Kyle waved a hand idly in dismissal, “I would have been fine, you’re just worrying too much.”

"Whatever" said Arthur focusing on the other to stay awake.

“We need to get you to bed.” Kyle muttered, wrapping an arm around Arthur’s waist.

"I'm fine!" Protested Arthur pulling away as his knees buckled under him, forcing him to catch himself on the counter.

“No. You’re not fine.” Kyle sighed and hoisted him up again with a little grunt.

"I'm fine" insisted Arthur, letting himself sink to the floor, clearly tired.

Kyle helped Arthur up then helped him to his room. Once he got Arthur in his bed and placed a light kiss to his forehead, he sighed, “I should go home, school would have ended by now.”
