Even from your sleeping state you could hear the creaking of the door from the couch that you fell asleep on waiting for Rene to come home. You stirred, gently pushing your self up and straining your eyes to see in the dark room that was only being illuminated by the TV that was still on in the background.
"Rene?" you croak, your throat dry and voice cracked from sleeping with your mouth open.
"Babe? What're you still doing up?" he asked pulling his hood further down to shield his face from you.
"I was waiting for you." You stand from the couch and gently push Rene's hood from his face, letting out a mortified gasp.
His face was littered with bruises and cuts, some of which were definitely going to need stitches.
"What happened?" your eyes watered at the thought of someone doing this to your boyfriend.
"Don't worry about it, I'm fine," Rene reassured then with a slight chuckle he added, "You should see the other guy,"
You snort at that and wrap your arms tightly around his neck, pulling him down to make his lip meet yours in a passionate kiss.
"I love you," you pant as you pull apart, walking away to find the first aid kit so you could patch him up.
