(Fluff to make up for the last chapter)
Lo'ak traced his finger over the stab wound, he felt disappointed he had been taken and almost killed so easily... now he felt hideous with all his stupid scars, he knew it would be a matter of time before Ao'nung realized how weak he was and left him for someone better. Yes his brother had a gunshot wound but he looked badass with it, but Lo'ak didn't.
"Hey, Ma'love." Ao'nung cheerfully greeted, placing a kiss on Lo'aks cheek. "Hello, Ao'nung," Lo'ak replied dryly. Ao'nungs ears flatten at the mention of his full name, Lo'ak never called him that? It was always Nung, Ma'Nung, or 'bro' but never Ao'nung unless it was serious... "Lo'ak, are you okay?" Ao'nung asked, grabbing his lover's hands in comfort. "Yeah, I'm ok." He replied, but Ao'nung didn't believe him for a second. His eyes seemed dead and numb and his expression said the same, Lo'ak was not ok. "Ma'love, you can tell me anything." Ao'nung gave him a loving smile, Lo'ak stayed quiet before he asked him a question.
"Do you still find me..uhm.." Lo'ak struggled to finish his sentence, he didn't want Ao'nung to think differently of him. "Do you still find me .. pleasant to look at?-..." Lo'ak whispered the last part but it was enough for Ao'nung to hear "pleasant to look at? You mean attractive?" Ao'nung chuckled "y-yeah I guess." Lo'aks ears twitched in embarrassment "of course I do, why wouldn't I?" He questioned, "because of my scars.." Lo'ak turned away so as to not face Ao'nung, he was ashamed.
Ao'nung put a hand on Lo'aks cheek and softly moved it back to face him, he smiled at him "Ma'love, I'll always love and adore you... no matter what scars or marks you may have or get." Lo'ak stared at Ao'nung with widened eyes, Ao'nung loved and cared for him so much that it felt surreal.
Ao'nung couldn't be happier, he couldn't ask for anything better. He wanted to do something he has held back for so long but he decided that fuck it. He leaned in and kissed Lo'ak. But Caught off guard, Lo'ak accidentally smacked him, but when he realized what he had done he immediately apologized "I didn't mean to I'm so sorry bro-" Lo'ak's ears perked down, but Ao'nung just laughed it off "I'm sorry, did I scare you?" Ao'nung felt a little ashamed and bad about it but tried to play it off, meanwhile, Lo'ak was panicking and feeling horrible about it but was also trying to play it off. "Whatttt, noooooo... you didn't scare me.. not at all!" He exaggerated, obliviously failing to act chill about it "good to know.." Ao'nung said he had learned his lesson to not try that shit again-
"I... uhm." Lo'ak stuttered, he was fiddling with his fingers while looking down "yes?" Ao'nung tilted his head. Lo'ak looked up, his cheeks were a darker shade of blue and he had an apologetic look on his face.
Without another word Lo'ak leaned into a proper kiss, Ao'nung was surprised at first but quickly melted into it. Ao'nung placed his hands on Lo'aks waist as he pushed him closer.
they separated for air, both boys panting as they lovingly looked at each-other.
