“I don’t want narcotics… or pain meds… I don’t wanna get hooked on them.” He mumbled, pulling Jake closer to him. He glanced up at his lover, biting his lip. “I don’t wanna have another drug to deal with.”

Jake pouted and frowned at the same time. "But it'll only be one time, you won't have to go again…" Jake placed his hand near Lighter's ribs, trying to see if he could feel the broken bone. "Does it hurt? You said your body hurt earlier, we should really go, Im worried about man" he said pulling Lighter into a gentle hug, trying not to hurt him. "I don't think you would get addicted after just one time though…"

Lighter groaned, and yet nodded slowly. He hugged Jake close and purred. “I’ll go for you.” He said softly. At The mention of ‘just one time’ Lighter cringed.

“Actually I was hooked on opioids for a bit. I quit after I overdosed. Gave me a really bad scare. Back then I didn’t want to die, I just wanted to get rid of my pain.” He admitted, planting a soft kiss to Jake’s exposed neck. “I want to live now. I want to live for you….”

Jake brushed a stray curl from Lighter's face behind his ear. "Thank you…and hey, I'm serious, if you really don't want to go I won't force you, I just want the best for you and that would be for you to be in the least amount of pain as possible if none at all" Jake gave Lighter a sad side smile.

Jake blushed a bit when Lighter kissed him on the neck. He wondered if this was the right thing to do. Should he really have Lighter go? Surely a doctor could help Lighter better than he ever could. "I understand how that must have felt and I'm sorry, I didn't know…like I said, we could stay home if you want" Jake froze and blinked a few times. Did he just call this small room his home? He did. The heat rushed up to his cheeks. Had he said that before? If he had then he hadn't even noticed it at all.

Lighter’s head followed the movement just a small bit, leaning into his lover’s hand as best he could. “I know you do. And I want the same for you, babe. You’re my everything.” He murmured, smiling happily. If this was what it felt like to be cared for then he wanted this forever.

“No, no. I’ll go. It’ll heal me faster, right? And once I’m healed, to pay you back for everything I’ll let you do whatever you want to me.” He looked up at his lover’s face blushing at the thought. He momentarily wondered if Jake had any hidden kinks he didn’t know about. His expression turned concerned when he noted the blinking. “What’s wrong?”

Jake had never felt so much love towards another human being before, it was refreshing. "You're my everything too, I love you so much words couldn't even express"

Jake nodded slowly. "Yeah, I think so since they got all of those fancy machines. I once saw an ambulance and they-" the words died on Jake's tongue when Lighter said he would pay him back by letting him do whatever he wanted to him. Jake's mind went else where for ten seconds before he snapped himself out it. Too many dirty thoughts passed his mind in those few seconds. He looked up at Lighter's concerned face. "A-ah! N-nothing! Just that I never thought I'd be able to call a place my home…"

“I love you too Jake.” He kissed his neck again, softer this time. His smile grew into a crooked grin when Jake fell silent. He knew he had made a good promise to his lover. He hoped that Jake would feel loved and wanted the more time he spent beside him. “Anything love~” He cooed again, very gently slipping his hands under his lover’s shirt to feel along his sides and to warm his hands. “This is your home now, love. You’re with me. I’m going to do my best to make it a home for you.” He purred, running a finger along Jake’s ribs softly. “I’m going to stick with you…”

Jake flinched and shivered when Lighter stuck his cold hands up his shirt again. "Oh for fucks's sake Lighter your hands are always so cold" but despite complaining about this, he let Lighter keep them there. His gaze soften at Lighter's words, a small warm smile forming on his lips. "Thanks…have I mentioned that I love you yet?" He joked before changing the subject. "Alright well we should get ready and changed to go, the sooner we can get to the hospital the faster we can leave and maybe go out some place to hang out. Oh! Let's go to the mall afterwards! You need new clothes after all.~"

“But you’re waaarrmm.” He whined, nuzzling his head under Jake’s chin. He purred before pulling back to give his lover a soft kiss on the lips. “You have. I love you too.” A large groan left his lips at the mention of getting up. He didn’t want to move from this spot. He wanted to cuddle and snuggle with Jake for the rest of the day. But he knew he had to be productive. Waaay more productive than he had been his entire life. He needed to fix a lot of things about him. “The mall!?” He suddenly perked up, growing excited. “I wanna go to the mall for new clothes. I haven’t been in so long! They have the best ice cream place up there!” He replied with a large grin. “New clothes and ice cream wi5 my boyfriend. I sound like a high school girl.” He joked, giggling softly. “One That still loves his boyfriend very very much.”

Jake laughed. "I am warm, not only am I warm, I'm hot~" he smirked, proud of himself for thinking up of that one. He petted Lighter, he looked like he really didn't want to do anything, but seemed to lighten up at the mention of the mall. Jake smiled like an idiot at his boyfriend then raised an eyebrow. "Ohoho~ So you love going the mall as much as I do~" He laughed a bit at the mention of Lighter being a school girl. "Hey! I keep telling you to get a school girl outfit, you certainly have all the requirements!" Jake teased, though he really was only joking.

“Oh hell yes you are.” He cooed, smiling at the pet. He gently pulled Jake over him so he could steal a kiss. “I do love the mall, but I’m not wearing a school girl outfit.” He huffed suddenly, glowering at his lover for a moment or two. “You can paint my nails all you want but you can’t get me into any girly clothing. Maybe skinny jeans but still.” He growled and yet he still pulled Jake over to kiss him yet again.

Jake laughed at the reaction he was able to get out of Lighter. "I'm only joking! I was kidding!" He said as he continued laughing. Once Lighter's lips met with Jake's he giggled a bit, pressing into the kiss. He loved it when Lighter kissed him, he always got a jittery feeling. It made Jake feel special, loved. "Also, for now we can wear the clothes I bought at the mart the other day. Just so we don't wear the same ol' clothes again"

Lighter cracked a smile behind the kiss, giggling softly at Jake’s words. He knew he was teasing him, and Lighter loved it. “Oh perfect! Let’s wear those.” He said with a small grin, slowly pealing himself off of the bed and away from Jake. “You’re the best thing to happen to me by the way.” He said, offering his less broken hand to Jake. “I love you and our time together and I love how you just love me and take care of me and love me.” He grinned. “God~ especially the way you love me~”

"Oh really? Well, I guess I can say the same. Never met anyone like you" Jake said casually, following Lighter's tone of voice. He grabbed onto Lighter's hand and smiled. "Me too~ You deserve to be taken care of after all that. Trust me, when I see Marx I'll have a friendly conversation with him" Jake hummed, though he knew that Lighter wouldn't want him to run into Marx anytime soon. Jake laughed. "Well yeah! What kind of boyfriend doesn't love their significant other?~" Jake got up with Lighter's help. He quickly changed out of his previous clothes that Lighter had lent him and threw on the cheap ass clothes he had got at the mart. It was the best he could do for now. He had gotten himself a plain black t-shirt and Lighter a red t-shirt, considering his favorite color. The jeans were of the same type, though different sizes to fit.

Lighter purred happily. He grew a little worried at Jake’s mention of Marx, shifting his weight uncomfortably. “Please don’t even look at him…” he whined, following Jake to the clothes. “You are a loving significant other~” he replied softly, taking his own clothing and changing quickly. He sighed softly, stretching out his arms. It was nice to have new clothes. “Man I want to shower.”

Jake chuckled. "Alright, I won't even look at him…for now." He smiled proudly. "But of course~ and you my lovely are the best partner I've ever had~" At the mention of a shower Jake groaned. "Don't even mention it. I'm dying to take a shower too. This building doesn't really have showers I take it?" He asked, though it was almost a guarantee that it didn't or Lighter would have said so. "Maybe we could go to a pool or something" Jake thought out loud but he knew that it probably wasn't the best idea. "We'll have to get an apartment real soon" Jake shrugged, but seeming happy about the whole getting an apartment situation. "Anyways, let's get going~" he said, already at the door. He hoped that they wouldn't run into Marx. At least not right now.

Lighter beamed at the praise. He bit his lip and giggled, moving to Jake’s side. “No showers here. The pool? I’m not sure that’d be the best. Do they have a community shower?” He asked, knowing fully that there was a high chance those didn’t exist anymore. “I do want an apartment. And soon. I hate not having a shower in this building.” He complained on his way to the door with Jake. “Alright fiiine.”

"I don't know about community showers…" Jake said as the thought. "Yeah, we really need to get that apartment~" The thought made him giggle. Him? Finally having a normal life? What a relief~

Jake accompanied Lighter to the hospital, but when he saw them stick Lighter he looked away because that looked traumatizing. Who was he kidding? He was just scared of needles.
After they had gotten Lighter feeling better, they had walked to the mall. Just like Jake had promised. "What flavor icecream do you want?" Jake asked. They had gone to that place Lighter had talked about. It was nice being out for once.

Lighter giggled, pressing a kiss to Jake’s neck. “We do. Let’s hurry and save up for it.” He said with a warm smile. Truth be told, he could get that money fast. He would have to deal with the gang, however. He did have a lot of money already in a savings account. Marx still wired him money sometimes. He hated it.

Lighter was patient the entire time, letting them stick him and fix him up. He was given a few finger casts and his ribs were repositioned so they could heal. He focused on Jake’s face as they did so, pain laced in his eyes.
Lighter ran a nervous hand through his hair, sighing softly. “Peach sherbet.” He replied, taking Jake’s hand in his. He looked around with a soft smile, enjoying the freedom of the mall.

Jake had given Lighter a reassuring nod since he wasn't allowed to hold Lighter's hand as they patched him up. They needed the room to work around and Jake didn't want to get in the way so he didn't.

Jake had watched Lighter run a hand through his hair without getting stuck so he decided to test if he could do the same. He ran his own hand through Lighter's hair and yep. It got stuck. He frowned. They must have looked like madmen with how were dressed and their overall appearance. Jake took Lighter's hand in his and walked over to the register and told the guy their orders. "Umm a Peach Sherbert for the red head and I'll take the Colombian coffee…" Once he had paid and they gave them their icecreams, Jake gently pulled Lighter over to a table to sit at.

Lighter giggled as Jake’s hand got stuck in his hair. He helped the other male escape before running his through his hair again to fix it. “Mm, I should get a haircut. Leave a few curls on the top and cut the sides short.” He replied, his green eyes taking in their surroundings. He waited patiently for his lover to order, and then for their ice creams. The second he got his, Lighter attacked it. A soft purr left his throat. “I love peach ice cream. It’s hard to find it in stores though. You can only get it in the mall food court.”

Jake raised an eyebrow to that. "A haircut?" He said unquestioningly, trying to imagine how Lighter would look like with a haircut. "I guess you could but you look fine…" he mumbled, not sure if he liked the idea or not. Lighter was already wolfing down his icecream, meanwhile Jake was just staring wide eyed at Lighter's ability to bite the icecream hungrily. Jake simply gave his icecream a small lick as he tried to recover from the scene of Lighter's teeth meeting the icy cold treat. "Yeah I can see that…you practically killed it" he laughed nervously, the imagine still stuck in his head. Jake had a dislike for stuff like that, it made him shutter and want to cringe just imagining the feeling of a certain thing. Like the feeling of teeth sinking into something cold. Or the thought of getting a brain freeze if he ate his icecream too quickly.

Lighter personally wanted to kill off his old self that lived before Jake came along. He hated himself for making Jake worry about him and vowed to change that. A haircut sounded like a good way to change himself in one way. “You don’t think it’s too long?” He asked, tilting his head. Or too me…? He thought to himself, rubbing his cheek.

The second he noticed Jake’s gaze, Lighter slowed down, embarrassed. He wiped his mouth and sheepishly licked at the ice cream. “Sorry… I don’t get this kind of thing often. My father won’t take me with him anywhere because I’m a ‘disabled, lazy, no good son-of-a-bitch.’ And I don’t usually get out into society for anything anymore. So ice cream is a rare thing for me.” He admitted, looking away. “Which is why I’m glad to have you by my side, love. You respect me and let me get ice cream.”

Jake paused and put a hand under his chin, as if inspecting Lighter. "hmmm not really, but if you want to get a hair cut I won't stop you- unless you try and get something ridiculous done to your hair. Which will be a no no." Jake nudged Lighter a bit. "I still think you look great, no matter what you get done~" He smiled sweetly.

A small smile appeared on Jake's face. "No, no, you're fine! I just never seen anyone do that before. Doesn't that like…freeze your teeth or something?" Jake shivers again, involuntarily at the though. His eyes held something similar to sympathy as Lighter spoke. "Hey, it's alright…you're not any of those things, there's no need to be ashamed of liking ice cream. Hell, I think it's a power food. One of the best~" Jake laughed at how Lighter ended his statement. "I would be a lowly piece of trash if I didn't respect my boyfriend or anyone around me, and yes. I do let you get ice cream" He chuckled. "I'll let you get as many as you want as long as you take care of yourself" Jake suddenly hugs Lighter out of nowhere, he felt an overwhelming sadness suddenly take over his chest and he didn't know why. "You know I love you right? No matter what happens from here on out don't ever give up on me alright? You're too precious to think that way and you deserve so much more" There was a lot of feeling put into his last words. Jake had no idea why he was saying all this. It was probably the feeling of finally getting some happiness. It seemed too good to be true.

(The moment when I can actually eat ice cream like lighter can)

“I’ll dye it pink and get a Mohawk now you say that.” He joked, shaking his head. “I just want a trim, but thank you.”

Lighter tilted his head, studying the color of his frozen treat. “Not really. It’s normal for me… I just don’t have sensitive teeth.” He said simply, shrugging. He licked his icrecream from then on, still embarrassed. “Mm, thank you, my love. I’m glad you respect me and let me have all the ice cream I want.” He smiled softly, giggling. It almost caught him off guard when Jake hugged him, his eyes wide with alarm. “Jake…?” He murmured, stopping when his lover began to speak. He hugged him back, biting back a few tears. “Stooop~ you’re going to make me cry Jake… I know you love me. And I won’t give up on you. I love you too much to leave. It just took a little scare for me to realize that you’re the best thing in my life.”
