Parallel lives [COMPLETE] [BXB]

Chapter 69

#PAIN 

Numa felt someone shaking him gently and opened his eyes, it was Leon. He let out a moan, the stabbing pain was still in his left hand. He looked out the window, they were at Leon's house, Leon got out first, opened the door, helped him with the seat belt and went out.

Numa smiled at the unusual kindness he showed that day, and realized he was worried, after all, he loved him. However he never thought he'd speak to him again after what he said to him. He knew perfectly well that his father was the person Leon hated the most, he knew it since the day they met for the first time. However, despite having hurt him in that way, there he was helping him when he needed it most. For a moment his thoughts went back to Lucas, to that night when he came to rescue him, although his physical state was worse back then, in that moment his emotional aspect was shattered.

They were at the entrance of his apartment. Leon disappeared into his bedroom leaving him alone in the living room. He returned holding a couple of things.

"I left you some towels in the bathroom, you'd better take a shower. Here are some clothes for later. Do you need anything else?"

"No"he barely whispered, he lacked the strength to do anything, he grabbed the clothes with his right hand and went to the bathroom.

"Hey Numa"

"Yes?"

"If you need help, anything, don't hesitate, I mean it."

"Thanks."

Leon went to the kitchen, looked for some things but after a while he got cold feet and retraced his steps back to the bathroom, Numa was very stubborn and if he needed help he wouldn't tell him. He knocked on the door but Numa didn't answer, he heard some strange sounds, and figured he was vomiting. He opened the door and his face was tinged with concern, Numa was naked in front of the toilet, just throwing up water. He saw that the bloodstained shirt was on one side and his hand was uncovered, he had a very ugly cut on the palm of his hand that even managed to impress him, a very deep cut from which a thin strand of blood was emanating.

"I'm coming!" he said and rushed to his room, he had a first aid kit his mother gave him a while ago. He opened it, took out gauze and tape and went back to the bathroom. He grabbed Numa's hand and he turned to complain and then Leon saw the disgusted expression on Numa's face.

"Don't look," he said.

Leon wrapped his whole hand in gauze, he knew he was going a little overboard but it was better to have too much than too little. He tightened it with the white adhesive tape.

"Once you're done with the shower, we gonna have to go to the hospital. That needs to saturate. Shall I make you some tea?"

Numa looked at him and tears began to roll down his cheeks.

"No, I'm sorry. It's just I got quite impressed by the blood and the flesh" Leon wiped his tears with the back of his right hand.

"Are you sure you don't want anything to drink?"

"No, thank you."

Leon was about to sit up when Numa grabbed him by his clothes.

"Leon, really, thank you very much."

"Don't be silly, take a shower now! If you stay like this for too long..." he added, giving him a good look, "you're going to catch a virus called Leon."

Numa laughed softly as he closed the door behind him. Numa got into the shower, thoughts ran over in his mind but he discarded them all, he didn't want to think about the fight or anything else, although he was afraid. Giovanni was surely going to report him and that would only get him in trouble, his grandmother would give him something, the worst thing was that he had fought with him in a public place, when it was not as he had planned.
