King let out a soft humming sound at the warmth now surrounding him. He kept flitting in and out of consciousness throughout the journey and when he was semi-awake his entire body was aflame with pain. From the burns mainly on his arms and legs, to the large bloody gashes literring his torso, and the one nasty cut marring his face.
Angela worked quietly to heal the major injuries on the other, making sure that his wounds wouldn't get infected as her magic worked through him. Once the majority of his injuries were taken care of Angela moved to the guest room so she could rest. Colby was beside King the moment she left, rubbing medicine along the minor wounds, as well as placing herbs to help with the burns. He gently touched beside the now most healed scar along his face. He kissed King's forehead. "You were so brave…" He whispers.
King was unconscious for most of the healing process. And remained that way even afterward recovering the energy he lost during the fight. Though that didn't stop his body from relaxing at the light kiss.
Colby stayed beside him, never even moving his side. He wouldn't let go of King's bandaged hand. He had cried silently for the first hour or so, but after that he rested against the bed and kept a steady eye on his boyfriend. "I love you so much…" He'd whisper that many, many times.
King eventually woke up a few hours later. He let out a slight grunt as he slowly opened his eyes. He was still drained, but he definitely felt better than earlier. The first thing he saw was Colby by his side, "…Hey."
Colby looked like a mess. He was tired, but he forced himself to stay up for when King woke up. He smiled at the other, "Hey, baby." He whispered, moving closer. "God… You scared me." He whispers. "You did so well. You were so brave…" He murmured quietly.
"Sorry," King murmured, well slurred, back. His body was still in some pain, but it hadn't really set in yet. He moved one of his hands to touch Colby's face, "I don't think I was very brave. Just doing my duty."
Colby shook his head and smiled a little, holding King's hand to his cheek gently. "Don't be sorry my love… And you did it anyways…" He murmured quietly. "You don't have to work… But you go in anyways…" He pressed a kiss to King's palm. "I'll go get some pain meds, okay?"
"Mmkay," King hummed as he watched Colby. The moment the other had mentioned pain, King's body had so wonderfully reminded himself about how injured he was. He squeezed his eyes shut trying to block it out.
Colby left quietly and quickly. He returned holding some water and some pills. He helps King sit up slowly, and gazes at him. "Here. I have the water and the pills. Once you take them you can rest as much as you need." He murmured softly.
King's body protested being sat up, but he tried to keep upright none the less. He took the pills and popped them into his mouth before swallowing them down with water, "Thanks, love."
He ran a hand through King's hair as he drank and smiled a little. "Of course. I'm always going to be here for you." He murmured quietly. He sighed deeply and kissed his hand gently.
King leaned into Colby's hand before taking another sip of water. He let out a hum of acknowledgment before looking at Colby. He was so used to having to patch himself up on his own, but he didn't have to do that now.
Colby smiled gently as he gazed down at his boyfriend. He slowly settled beside King, kissing his forehead. "I love you so much." He murmured. His voice cracked slightly and he paused his eyes shutting tightly.
King frowned at the voice crack and leaned against Colby slightly, "I'm sorry for worrying you. I, I love you. A lot."
Colby shook his head. "I love you too darling. You don't have apologize…" He murmured quietly. He was just worried about how injured King was. He presses a soft kiss to King's forehead. "I adore you. You were so brave."
King gave another happy hum still a little out of it from the pain he was in. He was starting to think he may have a concussion of some type, "I don't think I was very brave. I was just doing what I had to do."
He gazed at the other. He had no doubt the other had some sort of concussion. "Well… I think you were brave. You fought so well." He whispers quietly. He smiles down at his boyfriend and kisses his forehead. "Do you need anything, my love?"
"Mmmm cuddles?" King asked looking up at Colby for a moment before letting his head fall back into a more neutral position. God, even moving his head hurt and it only made everything throb worse.
"Of course baby." He gently settles into the bed beside his boyfriend, pressing a sweet and soft kiss to his lips before gently wrapping himself around King. He rubbed gently along his chest, making sure to avoid any wounds. "I love you." He whispers quietly.
King nuzzled up against Colby enjoying his embrace. He hummed a little as his eyes closed again, "Love you too."
He smiled and pressed a soft kiss to his uninjured cheek. "You need to rest for a few weeks." He murmured quietly, holding King's hand. "Okay?"
"I, I shouldn't though," King began to argue. The last time he took a break, well, look at him now. That's what happened.
"No. We'll train together. We'll make sure that you're stronger. But you have to rest. You understand me? You must rest." He gazed at the other pleadingly.
King hesitated for a moment before he finally agreed, "Fine. Now cuddles and quiet okay?"
