October 16th: Scar

Nova watched as Rodney took a seat at the top of the water slide, climbing on behind him and wrapping his arms around Rodney's waist feeling a small bubble on his hip but before he could mention anything they were spiraling down the clear tubing before suddenly freefalling, hitting a bubble that bounced them forwards and they began spiraling again before getting launched out into a huge pool.

The two rose to the surface kicking their legs, Nova's arms still around Rodney as he pressed a kiss to the other man's cheek.

"Hey what's that scar from on your hip?" Nova mumbled into Rodney's ear as he released his arms allowing Rodney to turn and face him before Nova tightened his arms again. Rodney leaned into Nova as a leaned back propelling the two slowly through the water.

"Our first fight." Rodney just hummed as Nova moved his right hand down and rubbed his thumb across it. "It wasn't your fault if that's what you're worried about. It was a shard from one of the ruby crabs I blasted in the ruins of cancer." Rodney added and he could feel Nova's tension fade away as the grip around him got tighter.

"I could heal it for you if you wanted." Nova offered.

"No, scars are memories. And while that one was quite scary it led to this so it isn't all bad." Rodney said and leaned his head down onto Nova's chest as Nova continued swimming them in circles. They stayed in the pool until the temperature began to drop and the sun began to set, Rodney asleep on Nova's chest.
