in which your back is sore and colby helps you feel better?
inspired by my bff xplrtraphouseee
your back has been killing you lately. probably from sleeping funky and helping the boys move. you've just been pushing it off cause you thought it was nothing.
after work, you go to sam and colbys house to spend the night. you walk in and see the boys and kat playing cards on the table, colby immediately sees that something is wrong.
"come here" he says softly, scooting out his chair for you to sit on his lap
"no i'm good" you say kinda out of breath and holding your back
"how bad is it?" kat asks worriedly
"it's bad" you whisper
"baby, i told you to take it easy" colby says anxiously, getting up out his chair to help you stand straight
he puts a hand on your back and you kinda wince in pain "be careful" you whisper and colby's eyes fill with worry
"maybe you should take a bath? it helps my muscles after my runs" sam suggests
"good idea" colby says then turns to you "let's go" he whispers in your ear then tries to pick you up
"no stop" you stop him
"what, what's the matter?"
"don't touch me yet it hurts too bad"
"okay, sorry baby let's just take slow steps then alright?"
colby takes his hand in yours and rests his other hand on your lower back as he helps you walk up the stairs ever so slowly
you can hear sam and kat giggling in the kitchen "yall better not be too loud tonight" sam giggles "hahaha SO funny sam." colby says
you finally make it to the bathroom then colby runs some bath water. when you aren't looking he puts melatonin epsom salt and bubbles in the water then colby helps you undress before he undresses himself.
he gets in the tub first then holds out his hand for you. you grab his hand and he helps you sit down in between his legs then you lean back into him for support.
he wraps his arms around you and places kisses on the top of your head.
"it hurts colby, so bad" you mumble
"i'm sorry sweetheart, what else can i do to make you feel better?" he says before kissing your neck softly
"i don't know" you whine
"have you been taking any medicine?"
you don't reply.. which means you haven't been taking any
"baby, no wonder you're in so much pain."
"i took some ibuprofen but it's not helping" you argue back
colby stops to think for a second
"how bout this, i'll tell sam or kat to run to cvs to get a heating pad, medicine, whatever and i'll give you a massage before bed, how's that sound?"
"okay" you nod
"KATRINA!" colby yells "KATRINA COME HERE"
she comes to colby's room like 30 seconds later "NOT IN THE BATHROOM." colby yells
"okay got it. watcha need?" she says on the other side of the door
"can you go to cvs and get us a heating pad and medicine?"colby asks
"damnit guys i was just about to go to bed." she argues
"i'll venmo you, please?" colby begs
"yeah, what kind of medicine?"
"i don't know tylenol? maybe do some research on the way there?"
"damnit why can't you do the resear-"
"BECAUSE I DONT HAVE MY PHON-"
"okay okay anything else?"
"no" he says politely
"okay i'll be right back." she says
"thanks kat!" he says so innocently
a few minutes later you hear the garage door open and close and you sigh in relief because that means kat listened and actually went to cvs
you lay in colbys arms and you start to get a lil drowsy. you two just lay there in a comfortable silence until all the bubbles are gone
"come on baby, i think kats almost home" colby kinda taps you awake
he helps you sit up comfortably before he gets out the tub. he grabs your hands and helps you out as well.
he wraps you in a towel and leads you back to his room. "i'm gonna go get some snacks and a drink, do you need help changing?" colby asks
"no i should be fine thank you"
"k i'll be right back" he slips on some sweats and storms off downstairs
you walk slowly to colby's closet and realize you're too sore to put something over your head so you just throw on a pair of his boxers then lay face down on his bed, waiting for that massage he promised
eventually colby comes back to his room and sees your bare back facing upwards
"feeling any better baby?"
you grunt
"i'm sorry, sam and kat aren't back yet, i brought you a drink and some snacks" he says, leaving your stanley and the food on the nightstand beside you
he kneels down to your level as you turn your head to face him., he runs a hand through your hair "massage?" you pout
"oh yeah!" he replies
he sits below your booty with a leg on both sides of you. "let me know if it hurts k?" he murmured. you nodded, already feeling the tension melt away
colby looks at the boxer band "are these mine?" he pokes your lower back
"uh"
"it's okay, you look better in them than i do" he grins
out of no where, three knocks hit the door and kat barges in "here you go" kat walks to colby and hands him the bag
"you okay y/n?" kat rubs your shoulder"
"im dying"
"figured"
"thanks kat" colby says, trying to get her out the room
"of course, hope you feel better!"
kat leaves and colby gets the heating pad out and puts it over your back, you hum at the sensation as he began to knead your sore muscles. his fingers found every knot and tension spot. as his hands moved in such precision you felt yourself drifting off.
"feel good babe?"
"mhm" you mumble half asleep
colby kinda giggles because he knows the melatonin is the real reason why you're out.
after what felt like an eternity colby finishes the massage, throwing the heating pad somewhere on the floor then slipping in the covers next to you.
you suddenly wake up from the loos of contact and carefully roll on top of colby, your skin meeting with his as he rubs your bare back in slow circles
"feeling any better?" he whispers
"much." you whisper back.
"good i'm so glad" he moves his head down to kiss your shoulder
"thank you colby"
"of course baby, i just want you to be pain free, i love you"
"i love you" you mumble, leaving a sleepy kiss on his bare chest
"goodnight sweetheart" he gives your head one last kiss
and with that, you drift away in his embrace, feeling the steady rise and fall of his chest against you.
