Appreciation

As Roy walked into the cave he looked to see the team sitting on the couch. He doesn't see Kaldur though.

"Where's Kaldur?" Roy asked worriedly.

"Medical bay." Wally said.

"What!?" Roy asked with a shout.

"He's fine. He just got cut a little. Relax. He'll be fine." Artemis said to calm Roy down.

Roy ran to the medical bay. He saw Kaldur laying in one of the medical bay beds. He looked worse than the last time he stopped by Roy's place. Kaldur looked tired, hungry, and sick. He rushed to the bed as the team pilled in the room.

"What happened to you?" Roy asked as Kaldur looked up at him.

"Savage threw a knife at Robin but I pushed him out of the way. I did not even feel the cut at first." Kaldur explained tiredly.

"Are you fucking serious?! Let me see it!" Roy ordered.

Kaldur moved the sheet to see a bloody bandage covering his upper torso. Roy placed his hand over it making Kaldur wince.

"Sorry precious." Roy muttered to him as he turned to glare at the team.

"How the hell did you let this happen!? He always saves everybody else asses but you can't take a fuckng bulltet for him! Last time it was him being stuck in a damn cave for hours because you "accidentally" took off without him then he gets locked in a cage with knifes were being thrown at him and now this shit! You will get him killed and watch it happen!" Roy yelled at them.

Kaldur had his head down trying not to cry. He heard all of this before. The team is the only thing that they have ever fought about.

"Dude it's not our," Wally tried to say as he stepped to him.

"Shut up!" Roy shouted at him. "When was the last time you have ever thanked him for anything! When was the last time you took a bullet for him! Do you even care what happens to him!? Do you?!" Roy continued shouting at them.

He took a deep breath and started to calm down. He sat down next to Kaldur and saw a new bloody stain near his upper thigh. He pulled the sheets to see Kaldur's thigh bleeding along with his arm. He sewed that up a week ago. He took the gaze next to him and slowly wrapped the arm up. He placed a temporally bandage on his thigh. Kaldur looked up slowly to see what he was doing. He eyes were red, his cheeks were bruised and puffy with spots of blood and tear stains covered his face. Roy handed him a tissue and kissed his forehead.

"Come with me for the week. Please. Get away from them for a week. Please." Roy begged to him as he kisses his wet cheek.

Kaldur gave up crying softly and started to cry a little louder. Not from pain, because he knew that Roy was right.

"I can not leave them." Kaldur whispered to Roy softly.

"Kaldur please. I can't lose you. Please. They will let you die. I need you ok. Please. Just one week. Please." Roy begged him as he tried to hold his own tears.

Roy kissed Kaldur slowly as his tears made Kaldur's cheek more damp. He wiped his tears than Kaldur's. Kaldur was so tired and hungry. He knew that Roy would take care of him. He leaned back on the bed and nodded slowly.

"Ok." Kaldur said as he reached for Roy.

"Thank you." Roy whispered in Kaldur's hair as he hugged him loosely.

He helped Kaldur out of bed and into some loose clothes. He pushed past the Team and walked Kaldur to his place.

When the lovers arrived to Roy's place, Kaldur's body relaxed. He loved being in his apartment. It's so comfortable and relaxing. Roy place Kaldur on the couch and went into the kitchen. He called Kaldur's favorite Chinese shop for something to eat. He ordered the food then made Kaldur some tea.
