Lorenzo's POV
I woke up to Gio gently groaning as he tried turning in my arms. I imagine he was hurting horribly. I sat up and gently rolled him on his back.
"Good morning, baby." I said as I bent down to kiss him on his forehead. "Are you okay?" I spoke once more whilst gently helping him sit up.
"I'm okay. It just hurts a little. Can we take a bath?" He said as he combed his fingers through my hair. God, how I have missed that.
"Of course, baby boy." I said as I lifted him off the bed and carried him to the washroom. I sat him on the makeshift couch that was placed in the washroom and went to start the water.
I turned back around to see Gio trying to get his shirt off but struggling. I softly smiled before helping him take it off right before coming to a haul after I saw the damage scattered across his body.
He seemed to noticed after he took his pants off and looked at me for help to stand up so he could take his briefs off.
He gave me a frown and put his hands down. "Lo, I'm okay. I'm here now. I'll get better. Please don't give me that look. Just please help me take the rest of my clothes off and get in the tub with me so you can hold me like old times. That's all I want right now." He pleaded so I gave him a nod and helped him take everything else off.
I picked him up and stepped into the bath with him sitting in my lap. He rested his head on my chest as I gently began massaging shampoo into his hair.
He was drawing patterns on my back as I continued cleaning him. "Sit up so I can clean the front baby." I told him whilst trying to be move him with ease as he helped with slowly leaning back.
I gave him a small smile, too afraid to really touch him since he was really beaten up.
"You don't have to be so gently Lorenzo. I'm okay." He said whilst placing his hands on my cheeks.
"You haven't even kissed me since you got me back." He whispered as he laid his forehead on mine. I let out a deep breathe and closed my eyes.
I was being foolish. "I'm afraid of losing you again. Everything can be taken away from me, from us, again." I shamefully told him as I grabbed the back of his head. I began silently crying at this point.
"He's dead, Lo. He can't hurt me anymore. From this point forward all we can do is be with each other. Please, baby. Just kiss me." He explained and then pleaded.
I grip his hair before smashing my lips into his. It was like the first time all over again.
We couldn't kiss for long since his jaw was fractured and he couldn't move it much. I pulled back and gave him a kiss on the forehead instead.

We were sitting in the living room, watching a movie, Monsters Inc to be exact. I found out that Gio loves this movie.
He was laying on my chest, whilst lowly giggling at the movie. I smiled profoundly at the moment. This was all I wanted. All I wanted to do was hold him and now I am.
I started rubbing his back in attempt to make him feel less sore, which I was told only helped if I put the heating pad on his back. So I opted out on that and played with his hair instead.
The movie ended after about 15 minutes later and neither one of us moved as the credits rolled. Neither one of us wanted too. It had been such a long time since we had each other in our arms and we wanted this moment to last.
I grabbed the remote and turned the television off. Gio sat up slightly to look up at me. "I love you, Lo. Thank you so much for everything you've done."
"I love you, Gio. I would do anything to make sure you were safe." I smiled then gave him a quick kiss.
"Come on, let me feed you." I told him as I sat us up and walked us to the kitchen.

Gio's POV
He made me a huge lunch. I ate the most I could considering I couldn't consume much without wanting to throw up since I've been deprived from food for two months.
We sat in the backyard and ate, like a nice little picnic. It was so nice to be back. All I had to do was heal and we could get back to the life we had before. Well almost. I know I'll never be the same but I think everything will be okay now.
"I want your father to know how grateful I am for all he has done." I told him out of no where. He turned to me with a small smile.
"Of course, baby. You can tell him when you get better." I nodded my head, knowing he didn't want either one of us to leave the house until I was 100% better.
"You've given me such an amazing life and I can't believe it. I never would've thought this would of happened but I'm so glad we met in that park that night." I told him whilst giving him a passionate kiss. He responded with pulling me closer and pulling me into his lap.
"I'm more than glad we met that night. Ever since then my life has been so much better." He told me. I smiled and gave him a gently hug.
"My Lorenzo." I whispered, drawing patterns on his back, just like I always do.
"My Gio." He whispered back as he played with my hair, just like old times.
