Why the hell are you bleeding!? - Royality

Patton gets hurt, Roman tries to help. They love each other very much. For the prompt: "Why the hell are you bleeding!?"

---------------------------------

"Oh shhhhhhhhhh sugar plum fairies!" Roman heard Patton yell from the kitchen, within seconds he was standing in the doorway looking in on the other. "Patton? Are you okay?" Roman asks, observing the other as Patton clutches his hand to his chest and that's when he realises the blood. Blood was everywhere; the floor, Patton's hands, his shirt, the kitchen worktops.

"Why the hell are you bleeding?" Roman practically shouts, rushing over to his boyfriend, grabbing a tea towel off of the counter and cups Patton's hands to stop the blood running anywhere else. "Dear god Pat, what happened?" Roman gasps, prying Patton's hands apart to inspect the damage.

"I- the knife, I slipped a-and- I'm sorry," Patton whispers, tears collecting in his eyes. "Hey, love, don't apologise. I just want to help you, I need you to be okay," Roman responds, hastily checking his hands and finds a large cut across Patton's left thumb and bottom of his palm. "Come here." Roman gestures with his head towards the sink, he and Patton shuffle over to it; Roman holds their joined hands over the sink and turns the tap on.

Setting the towel aside, Roman moves their hands under the luke warm water flinches slightly when Patton hisses at the contact. "Sorry," Roman apologises weakly, knowing it's good for Patton in the long run but the momentary pain on his boyfriend's face makes Roman feel bad. Patton whimpers slightly and attempts to pull his hands away but Roman holds them still, his own hands caressing Patton's to wipe away the blood quicker, he stays far from the cut though.

A few moments pass, Patton's heavy breathing and the trickling of running water are the only sounds echoing in the kitchen. "Are you okay?" Roman asks, voice thick with concern, and Patton responds with a noncommittal noise. "Stay here," Roman tells Patton, who complies, as he grabs another towel and rushes back. He takes Patton's non-injured hand and dries it, Patton stays pretty lax and allows Roman to do what he pleases.

Roman shuts off the water and takes Patton's other hand, turning it gently in his own hands. He dries the excess water off, carefully concentrating on not hurting Patton further. Roman looks back up at his boyfriend, taking in the small frown and the furrowed eyebrows. "Pat?" Roman asks hesitantly, concerned by the quietness of his boyfriend, shuffling away cautiously to reach the first aid kit but not moving his eyes off of Patton.

"Yeah?" Patton response after a moment of silence, Roman places the kit on the side and opens it, pulling out the plasters. "Are you alright now, love?" Roman questions, peeling the back off the plaster and placing it as softly as he can against Patton's cut, he grabs another and repeats it so the whole cut is covered. "I guess," Patton responds quietly, attempting to conceal the obvious hurt he's experiencing but Roman is not fooled.

He's suddenly, yet cautiously, pulled into a hug, Roman's arms wrapping around his midsection tightly, not wanting to let go. "Ro, I'm fine, really. Just a bit in shock." Patton smiles again, using his good hand to push Roman's hair out of his face where it has fallen across his eyes. "You sure?" Roman asks, not sure if Patton's smile is real or not; Patton nods in response, smiling further at his boyfriend's worry. "Come on, I'll go change, can you clean up? Then we can watch a movie," Patton proposes and Roman nods in agreement. The pain in Patton's hand lessens as they watch more movies, Roman knows it could have been worse, plus it gets them out of cooking dinner later that night.
