Grayson blinked and glanced up at Seth, smiling softly. He curled up under the blanket, letting the smile fade. "That's what we thought last time.." He murmured, wrapping an arm around Seth's middle. "How do you know they're really not coming back?"
Seth ran his hand through the other's hair, kissing his forehead gently. "I know… but this time I'm certain. I know this because my brothers know better to come after me when I've turned angry." He sighs and rubs Grayson's arm gently. "There's also the fact that the spell I cast blocks all possible deities from seeing us. We're safe." He whispers. He was relieved to be away from his brothers. He knew that they would stay away. They knew that he would kill them on sight if they came after him or Grayson.
Grayson nodded and sat up on his elbow. "Does this mean we can finally live a normal life?" He asked with a smile, brushing his fingers through Seth's hair. He glanced down, surveying the various cuts and bruises all over Seth's body and making sure none of them were infected.
He nods and leans into the others touch. "Yes, we can have a normal life. No more of dad's minions coming after us." He hummed, kissing his cheek. "No more running." He whispers, nuzzling into the other, shutting his eyes. He pulls Grayson closer and kisses his forehead. "I love you." He whispers quietly.
"Mm..I love you more." Grayson pressed a few kisses to his cheek. "How are you feeling? Does anything hurt very bad?" He asked quietly, stifling a yawn.
Seth smiled and leaned into the other, smiling at the kisses. He hummed and shook his head. "No, I'm alright. My side hurt a little, but I can handle it." He whispers quietly. He holds the other close, his eyes shutting.
"Okay. I can make us some breakfast if you're hungry while you get some more sleep." He offered, stroking Seth's cheek.
Seth leaned into the touch before shaking his head again. "No… I wanna help make food." He mumbles, his eyes shutting as he relaxed. He didn't want to leave Grayson's side either.
“Baby..you need to rest. You can come and lay on the couch if you want but I don’t want you moving around too much.” Grayson replied gently. “We’ve had a long night. You need something in you besides medicine.”
Seth inhaled shakily before nodding. "Okay… Okay…" He whispers, not wanting to leave the others side, not wanting to seperate, even if it was for only a few minutes or a few feet. He was still so nervous that his brothers would find them, or worse, hurt Grayson. "I'll stay on the couch." he mutters, squeezing his hand gently.
“It’ll only be a couple minutes, I promise.” Grayson kissed his cheek and helped him stand up and go downstairs. “You’re lucky to have me. I’m the best nurse you could ask for.” He flashed a grin at Seth, trying to boost his spirits.
Seth smiled weakly before nodding slowly, leaning into the kiss. He stood up slowly, wincing at the sharp pains in his body before chuckling quietly. "Indeed. You are the best nurse I could ask for." He coos sweetly, kissing his cheek gently, holding his hand tightly.
Grayson helped him to the couch and kissed him before walking to the kitchen to start making them some food. “Is there anything you’re hungry for?” He asked, checking to see what they had.
Seth relaxed into the couch, sitting down and sighing quietly. He shook his head slowly, "Whatever you feel like sounds good, angel. Are you sure you don't want my help?"
Grayson walked to the kitchen and began making a simple breakfast of toast with peanut butter and bananas. “Nope. I want you to get all better first.” He said cheerfully.
Seth nods slowly and smiles at his boyfriend, his eyes shutting for a moment so that he could ease his aching body. He wanted to go back to the bed, but at the same time he wanted to stay by Grayson. What had happened scared him shitless so he was going to stay by the other at all costs.
Grayson finished making breakfast, walking over to Seth and kissing his cheek. “You don’t have to eat right now if you’re too tired.” He reassured softly, sitting down beside him carefully.
He glances up at the other and smiled, leaning into the kiss a little bit before kissing his cheek in reply. He slowly sat up, grunting softly in pain before smiling over at the other. "To tired for food? Never." he chuckles quietly, inhaling shakily as he tried his hardest to keep himself from throwing up because of the amount of pain he was in.
Grayson watched him with concern. "Are you sure we can't take you to the hospital? A doctor maybe? I could have my brother come over. He's a nurse." He suggested, hearing his voice tremble slightly. "I'm not a professional. I don't know how to help you..I'm really worried Seth…"
He shook his head, "No. No doctors. Grayson, love. I'm not human. Even if I went to the hospital, I have no way of hiding my scars, my wing bumps, the burns or anything else. I can't hide my tail. It's lucky I can hide my horns, but that's only if I keep them trimmed and small." He grunts and smiles a little. "I'll be healed soon. I have a healing factor after all." He murmured, pressing a soft kiss to Grayson's forehead.
"Okay..sorry for worrying so much." Grayson said quietly, forcing a quick smile and picking up his own empty plate. "I'll let you eat." He added, getting up and walking back into the kitchen, biting his lip to try and stop the tears welling up in his eyes.
He shook his head, smiling a little bit. "It's alright. I'd worry just as much if I were in your position." He nods and eats his food, at points trying to force the food down even if he felt sick. He knew he was hungry so he ate. He set his empty plate down after a little while and opened his arms to Grayson. "Can… can I hold you, please?" He asks quietly.
Grayson set his plate down in the sink and glanced up as Seth spoke. He nodded quickly and padded softly back over, placing himself gently in Seth's arms. "Please.." He whispered, a couple tears rolling down his cheeks when he blinked.
He held the other close, kissing his forehead as he absently ran his hand through Grayson's hair. "I love you, I hope you know that. I mean it with all my heart." He whispers, his eyes shutting. He sighed and nuzzled into the other. He wiped away the others tear, "What's wrong, love?" He asks softly.
"I love you too." Grayson replied, leaning carefully against Seth while trying not to hurt him. "It's nothing..I just don't like seeing you in so much pain." He sniffed and wiped the tears from his eyes. "You don't deserve what they did to you."
He held the other close and kisses his cheek. "All of it is worth it if I have you." He whispers, his eyes shutting. "I adore you. All the pain in the world will never compare the the amount of love I have for you." He nuzzles into the other and rubbing a hand through his hair.
"I know. I feel the same." Grayson murmured in reply, gently running his fingers along Seth's scalp. "I want to stay with you for as long as I can." He added softly, shutting his eyes as well.
He chuckles and leans into the other as much as he could, just wanting to be close to the one he loves most. "You are the most wonderful and amazing person I could ask for. I'm lucky you love me." He chuckles quietly before kissing his nose. He fell silent, just leaning into Grayson's hands. They were safe now.
Grayson hummed, blinking sleepily as he lay on Seth’s shoulder, trying not to dose off. “I’ll always love you..” he mumbled, squeezing Seth’s hand gently.
"And I will always love you, my darling angel. But for now, I want you to sleep." He kisses the others forehead and squeezes his hand a little. "Sweet dreams, darling."
