Lick My Wounds

 
"Oh my God! LUCI" Elfo yelled again. 

"Luci," Bean sobbed. She cried an cried, soon joined by Elfo, who was also crying loudly.

"Hey guys, not so loud, my head is killing me."

The two sobbing friends looked up at the source of the noise. 

"LUCI!" they both yelled in relief. 

"God, we thought you were dead!" yelled Bean. Luci cringed at the volume, but quickly hid it, but Bean, being Bean, saw it anyway.

Luci grinned up at his friends and said, "Naw, it takes a lot more to kill me!" Suddenly, Luci began to feel tired, whether from his ordeal or blood loss he didn't know. 

"Hey guys, can we go home?" Luci asked.

"Yeah, yeah we should get going, I need to take a look at those cuts," Bean said. Carefully, ever so carefully, Bean picked him up, and mounted her horse, followed by Elfo on his. Soon the three friends were on their way home.

Bean couldn't help but notice how Luci cringed everytime the horse moved just a bit too much and prayed they were close to the castle.

Her prayers were soon answered as she saw the lights of the kingdom in the distance. The trio rode quickly to the castle, running through the gates and bringing the horses to a stop. Carefully dismounting, Bean took Luci's now worryingly unconcious and pale body and cradled it against her chest delecatly, like she was holding a newborn. She and Elfo made their way up to her room, where she layed Luci down on the bed gently and told Elfo to get the medical supplies.

As she sat on the bed she begain to gently stroke right in between Luci's little ears the way he liked and he began to purr, moving towards Bean's warm, soft, gentle hand. Luci began to wake up just as Elfo returned with the supplies. 

"Hey" he said.

"Hey Luci. How are you feeling?" Bean asked in a gentle voice.

"Like I got run over by a pack of obese rhinos." he said, making Bean chuckle.

"Honestly, you look it too." She said, making Luci give a small chuckle, which quickly turned into a groan of pain.

"Ok, Luci, I need to take a look at those wounds. I have to turn you on to your back, ok?" Bean asked, earning a small, almost unnoticeable, nod from the demon on the bed.

Luci nearly bit through his tongue trying to keep from screaming. Instead, he let out a pained whine, which was arguably more embarrassing than screaming. Bean gave him an apologetic look and Elfo winced in sympathy. Bean grabbed a cloth and dipped in water, getting to work with cleaning Luci's wounds.

At some point, Luci passed out.

When he came to, Bean and Elfo were standing over him, both with a couple bandages of their own. 

"Oh thank God! Luci when you passed out we thought you had died!" Elfo exclaimed. Luci felt bad for worrying Elfo, until he remembered their earlier argument.

"Really? Since when did you care? I thought you hated me! Do you know how much that hurts!? To have your fucking soulmates say they hate you? Huh? Do you!?" He said angrily, not realizing what information he had just let slip.
