When we finish the both of us head back to Sean's apartment to clean up the mess. His cute apartment was no longer as nice as it looked when I first arrived, but it can be restored.
Sean correctly arranged the furniture while I worked on the kitchen, I watch him absent mindedly washing the glass cup as he tries desperately to move his sofa, it was like watching a baby kitten trying so hard to move something twice it's weight.
He wipes his forehead after moving that ton and I can't help but laugh at his weakness, I place the glass on the counter next to me, but hear the smash of it. My eyes are ripped from the sight of Sean to focus on the small poodle of broken glass next to me, Sean runs in the kitchen to me almost falling.

"Mark, are you okay!"

"I'm fine, it's alright, babe."

I said trying to figure out how the glass fell over, I could of swore I placed the glass cup far from the edge, guess not, maybe I'm still a little drunk.
I quickly find the broom to clean up the glass and Sean goes back to the living room. I grab it and walk back to the area freezing in horror when I see blood. Sean didn't come into the kitchen at all to make these prints so it has to be my blood, placing my hand to my foot I'm praying and hoping Sean doesn't see.

"Mark!"

I quickly react grabbing hold of the injured foot.

"Shit. Ow."

It sounded so fake and forced, but it seemed to work. I pull the shard from my foot seeing a stream of blood escaping, I can't let him find out about my secret so I faked the pain the best way I knew, wincing and groaning which wasn't very convincing either.

"Wait here!"

I spat in the hand of his request and follow the green haired Irish to the bathroom leaving smeared bloody foot prints in my wake. Sean is acting as if I was shot in the neck when it's only a small hole that a roll of gauze can fix.
He looks terrified searching his bathroom for whatever and I stand in the doorway leaning against the frame calm and collected while there is a hole size of a penny in my foot, so I wince and groan to sell the in pain act.

"I'm trying right now just hold on."

Is it that believable? My wincing quiets down and I'm only groaning keeping the distance from them measured so he doesn't notice how off I am acting.

"Found it."

He sits me down and kneels in front of me taking my injured foot in his lap, he cleans the blood with a cotton ball before taking another with a strange liquid and gently dabbing the cut. I scream out in pain and I wasn't acting this time it actually hurt like hell, for the first time in years I've felt actual pain, what the hell is that he's using!?
Sean's careful hands tightly wrap the gauze around my foot concealing the bandages and I'm mesmerized watching him tend to me. This is what I want for someone like Sean, someone so caring and funny to love me. Its what I always wanted and now that I have this beautiful man I'm never letting him go.

"You do know you're stuck with me, right?"

He looks up and quickly back to wrapping my foot, his eyes shinned like Christmas lights in the small glimpse I caught of them.

"I'm well aware of that."

"Are you?"

Sean stops and cuts the line of bandage and sets it to the side. I hope this doesn't end in him having a temper tantrum again, I'm all out of cute ideas.

"Yes. What are you trying to say?"

"I'm not saying anything I'm just asking do you really want to be with someone who is never serious, extremely goofy, and ridiculously handsome as me. On the second thought that last thing isn't so bad."

Sean smiles and rest his head on my lap while I still sit on the edge of the bathtub. I twirl his hair in my fingers and he looks up at me smiling.

"Of course, if I didn't want to be with you I would of never gave you my number. And besides I like a guy who can make me laugh and I have a huge thing for "ridiculously hot" guys."

I lean down and kiss him, he's so sweet. Sean helps me up throwing my arm over his shoulder letting him carry my weight which wasn't a good idea judging by his size, but he seemed to hold me up. The bedroom was all I could think about and not in a sexual way, I just wanted to relax with Sean and not care about the rest of the mess until we wake up.
