Kevin Pov

I jumped as a scream cut through the quiet of the house. I was out of the bathroom and halfway down the hallway before the scream was cut off.

"Edd what happened?! Why are you out of bed?!" He was curled into a ball on the floor. His fingers were pressing hard into the stitches on the side of his forehead. I gently moved his hand away and examined his head. His temple was throbbing and there was blood on part of the wound.

I got up and grabbed the pills I had set out for him and placed them in his mouth.
"Here."
"K-Kevin... My head..." His voice was just above a whisper.
"I know, Babe. Drink this." He weakly took a sip of water.
"It hurts..." He pressed his small body into my chest.
"It'll be alright."
I held him close as his choked sobs filled the room.

A few minutes passed before his body relaxed. I brushed his dark hair out of his face and looked at his injury again. It looked like he had scratched his stitches and broke the skin.
"Let's get you cleaned up Dork." I shifted him around so that I could carry him. He groaned and let out a soft whimper.
"No." He wrapped his good arm around my neck and snuggled even closer to me.
I chuckled as I leaned back against the bed.
"Fine. I guess we can lay here for a little while longer."

"What happened?"
It took me a moment to realize that I was on the floor. Kevin's warm arms held me close to an equally warm body..... A shirtless body.... A.......
"Oh dear...."
"Oh, you're awake?"
I stared at him with my mouth agape. I felt my face becoming progressively warmer.
"What's wrong Babe?" I winced as he ran his hand across my forehead.
"What do you mean 'what's wrong'?! Where are your clothes?!"
"What's the problem? You've seen me shirtless before."
"Shirtless, yes. But never...." My face burned in embarrassment at the thought of a naked Kevin was holding me.
"Calm down, I'll go put something on."

Kevin Pov

I moved him off of me and walked towards the door.
"Good Lord, Kevin! Have you no decency?!"
"What? It's not like you haven't seen one before."
"To think you would find it acceptable to parade around my home in the nude! And then to assume that just because I have 'one' that I want to see yours! I swear, I cannot believe your actions sometimes!"
I grinned as I walked into the hallway. It finally felt like my boyfriend was back.

"I'm sorry I was too concerned about my injured boyfriend to finish dressing." I jokingly called back.
"You had enough time to grab a towel before checking on me!" I could hear him begin shuffling around and mumbling about the floor being filthy.
I laughed as I listened to him complain. "God, I love you Edd!"

"Why don't you ever call me when all the excitement happens?!"
Nat carried in four large bags of groceries.
"You're having a lot of fun with my wallet, huh?"
"Don't change the subject! You should have called me!"
"You said to call you if I needed help. I didn't need help so I didn't call you."
"Aww! Why are you so mean Kevie?"
I rolled my eyes. "Kiss my ass."

He wrapped his arms around me "I told you to stop soliciting me for a good time. I'm sure Double D won't like that now that he remembers everything that happened."
"I'm really gonna kick your ass one of these days, Nathan."

"While I do enjoy our sexy conversations, there is a different matter I wanted to discuss."
"And what's that?"

Author's Note: So I ended up rewriting this chapter 3 times because I had no idea how to make it connect it to the rest of the story. So... Filler chapter with a slight cliffhanger! Yay! I'll work on making the next chapter better.
