Levi woke up feeling incredibly hungry and lethargic. He then noticed someone holding his hand but according to the quiet snoring sounds the person seemed to be asleep. While being as careful as possible he tried touching the person with his other hand. Levi carefully ruffled through his soft hair. Obviously, he was aware that it was Lorenzo, no one else knew about his accident and no one else would care enough to visit him. Although he didn't really count Lorenzo as the type of person to go out of his way and wait for him to wake up.
It's almost like he actually likes me, Levi thought while smiling. Levi chose to further explore Lorenzo's features as he began gently tracing over his eyes, nose and lips with his fingers. After feeling his strong jaw line and getting a clearer image of his face he wondered why such a beautiful man would be even the slightest bit interested in him?
"Having fun", Levi heard a rough and tired voice say. Embarrassed, he pulled back his hand but Lorenzo was quick to grasp it and asked concerned: "How are you feeling?".
Levi was surprised by how fast Lorenzo changed his attitude from playful to worried "I'm starving. If I don't get something to eat right now, I might really die".
"Don't joke around about that. But it's good to see you so lively. I'll go buy you some food" Lorenzo said sounding like a concerned mother.
After Lorenzo left, Levi thought a bit longer about what he said. Only now he became aware that he actually could have died and much worse someone was trying to kill him. This realisation sent shivers down his spine but not enough to make him panic though. Levi has been through some pretty rough times in his life. Always having to deal with bullies and a family that curses his existence made him dull to many things including being stabbed. There were times he wished for something like this to happen maybe then his family would start caring about him. He knew they never would though.
Hunger tends to make Levi have those depressing thoughts which was why he suddenly grew anxious as to why Lorenzo hadn't returned yet. Levi decided not to wait any longer and get himself something to eat. As he got off from the uncomfortable hospital bed, he felt an excruciating pain in his lower abdomen which made him crouch down on the floor. "God, I'm such a fuck*ng idiot", cursed Levi not being able to move from his crouched down position.
"What the hell are you doing!" Lorenzo said angrily dropping the bags on the floor to carry him back to his bed.
"What took you so long?" in this moment Levi sounded like a desperate wife wondering why her husband returned later from work than usual. This image would have normally made Lorenzo laugh but somehow it felt like Levi was seriously angry so he decided it would be better not to.
"I've been gone for only like ten minutes. Anyway, lift up your shirt"
At this Levi's face reddened "And why the f*ck would I do that?".
"You jumping around like an idiot might have caused your wound to open up. I just want to make sure it didn't.
I'm such a whimp, Levi thought embarrassed about his irrational behaviour towards Lorenzo. So instead of making things worse he decided to just lift up his shirt. Levi felt very self-conscious as he felt Lorenzo's warm fingers on his skin.
"Luckily it didn't. So how about some food. I bought you soup" Lorenzo suggested.
"Thanks" Levi said feeling much better now after filling his stomach a bit "and I'm sorry about acting out on you like that. I just get these like very bad mood swings when I'm hungry" he explained sheepishly while scratching his nape. Before Lorenzo could answer him one of the nurses bursted through the door.
She told Levi that he could go home after another day in the hospital and how often he needed to change the bandages and apply the medicine. "You should definitely avoid moving around too much as the wound could open up and get infected. But I bet your boyfriend here would be glad to help you" she said in a chirpy voice which reminded him of Sally.
"He's not my-" she interrupted him.
"Honestly, I am so jealous. I wish my boyfriend was all caring like that and also so handsome. Good luck to you two and I'd recommend not having any sex during the first week." was what she said after she left.
"Wipe that stupid grin of your face" Levi told him.
"How would you know I am smiling?" Lorenzo asked surprised. "It just felt like something a self-absorbed person like you would do after being complimented like that" Levi huffed annoyed.
"What, are you jealous?"
Levi just wanted to kick him right now "Of course not. What's there to be jealous of beside you being perfect in like every aspect. Ahem...Appearance-wise I mean". Levi wondered how this was supposed to convince Lorenzo that he wasn't jealous of him which he, according to him, really wasn't.
"Wow that coming from a blind person is a compliment on a whole other level."
Levi already regretted boosting up his ego like that "Jackass", he mumbled.
"How long are you planning to stay here anyway. I'm fine" it is not like Levi didn't enjoy being with Lorenzo on the contrary. But he hated being a burden and he had enough of Lorenzo pretending to like spending time with him too "You have no reason to take care of me, right?".
"Obviously I do, what kind of man would I be if I left my boyfriend all alone in such a miserable state?", Lorenzo said in a surprisingly serious voice.
"When did I agree to be your boyfriend? I'd rather not be with someone who probably changes his partner more often than his underwear." Levi sassed back.
"What if I said I would change for you" Lorenzo said sitting down next to him on the bed.
"I wouldn't believe you" Levi felt Lorenzo inching closer to him his hand now on his thigh.
"You want to though, don't you?" he whispered alluringly.
Levi knew what Lorenzo wanted and he himself couldn't keep on denying that he wanted it too "Yes" he whispered before Lorenzo's lips where on his. They kissed intensely quickly synchronising with one another. This time no one tried to dominate the other as tongues were gently swirling around trying to explore this new taste. Lorenzo's hand disappeared under Levi's shirt feeling the soft and warm skin underneath while being careful not to touch his wound. Levi was clinging onto Lorenzo who was now hovering above him and tried to suppress a moan as he softly squeezed his nipple.
Before things got too heated though Lorenzo moved back to lay beside Levi "You remember what the nurse said, right" he teased him.
"You are awful" Levi said turning away for him.
Lorenzo was basically spooning him now as he decided to pull him closer to his chest and wrap his arm around his waist. "Move in with me" Lorenzo suddenly said.
"Why, already can't live without me?" Levi mocked him not thinking he was being serious.
"You live alone, right? At least for the first week you need someone to take care of you" Lorenzo stated.
"I can't ask you to do that." Levi said as he is used to dealing with everything on his own.
"I want to...no, I insist on it. The person that stabbed you is still running around and could always come back. I am not going to let this happen again"
Levi too felt unsure about returning to his apartment but one question kept on bothering him "Why do you care so much?" which was followed by a long silence.
"I can't help longing for you"
