Squirming under the thick wad of bandages, Ty was incredibly uncomfortable and itchy. He had refused against being healed, insisting that he wasn't weak and didn't need it. The healers had told him that they would only close up the wound, to keep the blood in, and Ty had consented to that. Ty knew he had already lost enough blood, and wasn't dumb enough to refuse the bare minimum.
That didn't stop him from wanting nothing more than to rip the awful things off his stomach, and to go do activities again, though. He hated having to lay around and be bored. Tentatively touching the soft fabric of the white bandages, he pressed down, wondering if it would hurt any. Pressing too hard in one motion, Ty whimpered, managing to turn it into a cough. It was those girls fault, if they hadn't thrown that stupid pretzel, none of this would have happened. Which also reminded him, he never got that pretzel ...

"Leeevi," Whining had become his new hobby, and despite not being able to move around much, he found new and funner ways to irritate his roommate. "We never got pretzels. Why didn't you bring pretzels with us when we left?" His tone accusing, Ty's face scrunched up, starting to seriously wish that he had some kind of food in his possession.

<div align=center>Levi was essentially playing nurse with Tyberius at the moment, not intentionally, of course. He appreciated his room mate was in a state right now, but why didn't he just let them heal him? It would have been a lot quicker and far less painful, but here they were. "What?" The incubus turned his head and lifted an eyebrow, "... You nearly got stabbed to death and you're whining about pretzels?" He wasn't sure whether to laugh or not. He did feel a little sorry for Ty, however. Levi was trying to ignore that little niggling feeling in the back of his head that was trying to pin this whole situation on himself.

"At least that means you're okay if you wanna eat." Levi ran a hand through his hair and crossed the room to sit down cross legged on his own bed. "I'll go out and get you some later, if you want." He finally said, his guilt getting the better of him. The walk to town wasn't all that far, besides, though he didn't know if he'd be able to find the stall again. And if I see those goblins again I can make sure they won't be able to use their legs again. </div>

"I did not almost get stabbed to death, you're being overdramatic." It wasn't really that bad. If he could be taken down by a pair of tiny demon spawns, then he would have had to spent the rest of his life in shame. Of course, with his incredible bravery, he managed to take down the both of them. Singlehandedly. Plucking at the bandage now, Ty began to methodically tear at it, trying very hard to get it off so he could stare at his gross wound and relieve the itching. It stayed stuck firmly, however, the nurses being practiced at their jobs. With a low growl, Tyberius sat himself up, biting his lip at the feel of freshly knitted skin being pulled taut. Scissors surely had to be somewhere in the room. He would settle for even a sharp stick at this point, as long as he could make the feeling go away. "Nooo, I wanna come with. I need to pick the perfect pretzel."

He really didn't want Levi to leave him here alone. He would have died before admitting it, but he was still a little worried that the one goblin would return to finish what she started. He was sure that he could take care of himself should it come to a fight, but having someone else there with him just made him feel a little happier. Weakly, he held out his arm, slumping down a little for effect as a faint whimper escaped his lips."I'm dying, child, why are you so far away? Come closer."

<div align=center>Levi glanced up to see the older boy scrabbling at his bandages, he practically leaped across the room to stop him. Grabbing Ty's wrist and pulling it away from him, Levi frowned. "Leave those alone," he scolded, though not in a harsh manner. "I don't know why you didn't just let the doctor heal it for you, it itches, doesn't it?" He let go of Ty's hand and shifted his own to press to the man's forehead, at least he wasn't running a fever, there would have been a cause for concern if he was. The incubus sighed, I hope I don't end up having to tape mittens to his hands.

"Well I'm afraid you can't come with me until you're better and until you don't have a hole in your stomach." An eyebrow went up as Ty spoke again. Levi nearly laughed, but he knew better than that, he didn't want to make Tyberius feel any worse than he already did. "Aren't we being just a little bit overdramatic?" Levi asked, crouching down and propping his elbows up on the side of the mattress so that he was more or less leven with his room mate. "And hey I'm not a child."</div>

Irritated, Tyberius slowly inched his hand back onto his bandage once e was released, just to show that he did what he wanted. He didn't resume trying to pick at them, and was content to just let his hand rest on the fabric. "Because I'm fine, getting healed is for weak nerds. Like you." He suffered through the hand pressed to his forehead, curious despite himself. He remembered his frown finally, and it reappeared swiftly. He wasn't used to being denied his desires. Even if he wasn't better--which he was-- he should still be able to go anywhere he pleased.

"You're the one being over dramatic. I'm fine, all better. And you are too a child, you're tiny." His forehead smoothed out, and he looked almost pensive for a second. He almost thought he enjoyed exchanging insults with Levi. Patting the top of Levi's head affectionately, grabbing a horn quickly. Tugging gently towards him, Ty scooted backwards to give himself more leverage. "Come sleep with me, child. I'm lonely and I'll take off my bandage without supervision. " His face lit up with wicked humour; he was a bit lonely, and it seemed that Levi was currently the only one he could force into staying with him. If he couldn't even go out to find a pretzel, he didn't think the battle to find a body would go very well.

<div align=center>Levi's face went blank, he let out a soft sigh and shook his head. Ty was making it his mission to irritate him at the moment, though the little incubus had decided to ignore all attempts, mainly because all he knew how to do was insult him back. He didn't feel like being mean right now, Levi had come out unscathed, after all. He didn't need to make it even worse by making snide comments back at him. "Tiny." He mumbled, a hint of distaste in his voice. He didn't like being short. Everyone else was taller than him and it made him feel altogether very vulnerable at times.

"I... What?" Levi blinked, did I mishear that? He wondered if Ty was joking or not. Is he teasing me? Levi wasn't all that sure. He was so used to being mocked by Ty that he more or less expected it. After a couple of moments consideration, the boy pushed himself up and clambered awkwardly up onto the mattress next to his room mate. He took a moment or two to settle himself, a single bed wasn't really enough space for two people. At least Levi was only little. It perhaps would have been far more of a struggle if Levi had been a big man. </div>

Releasing his grasp on Levi's horn, Ty pushed himself backwards, wriggling to make more room for Levi. He had never slept with anyone like this before, and was a little excited at the prospect. He expected Levi to hesitate or even refuse him, and his interest and curiosity mounted when the request was accepted. A funny little smile graced his features, and he hesitated for a moment. He wasn't sure where to go next, not expecting to have been able to get this far. Deciding to get the most out of the experience, Ty wriggled in close, almost close enough to kiss his roommate.

Burying his face in Levi's hair, his arm wrapped around the other boys back, pressing him closer. Deciding quickly that this was a good idea, Ty relaxed quickly, comforted somewhat by Levi's warmth. It struck him that his roommate was probably going to use this as blackmail, and Ty stiffened back up. His hand snaked out from it's position, curling around to rest on Levi's throat. "If you tell anyone about this, I'll kill you. You can see what those goblins saw. And this time, I won't stop. " With that, Ty's fingers gave a gentle squeeze as a final reminder before returning to their spot on Levi's back.

<div align=center>It was a strange feeling, merely cuddling with someone. Sure, Levi had slept with people before, but he usually left when he was done with them, there was never any time to cuddle. Tyberius was warm though, and Levi liked the warmth. It made him sleepy. Levi settled for a moment, at least until he felt a hand wrap around his throat. His eyes snapped open, locking to the pale blue ones of the other boy. "What the hell are you doing?" He hissed, bristling just a little. "Don't you threaten me," he growled, "who would I tell anyway?" His voice softened a little as he spoke again. "I'm not gonna tell anybody." He reassured. That was cute, he thought. Even if he did just threaten to kill me.

The hands on his back made Levi purr though. He liked being close to someone, even if that someone could have very likely crushed him without even thinking about it. Pfft. He couldn't do that. Levi wasn't going to tell anyone about this, it'd hurt his reputation as much as Tyberius' anyway. "Promise? Okay? I'm not going to tell anyone." He murmured, "I like my life, thank you very much." The boy let his eyes flicker shut again.</div>

Grunting, Ty managed to relax once more. He was still a bit on edge, not fully trusting Levi to keep it a secret, but if he wanted his way he would have to suck it up and deal with the issue if it came along later. "... Okay." He didn't trust Levi a single bit, even if he did enjoy being alive. However, his roommate didn't seem too concerned about this, and Ty stared fiercely at the boy even though his eyes were shut. He would have to promise himself to not make this a bad habit; Levi looked far too comfortable like this.

His own eyes shut, and he nestled back down, his hand gliding up to stroke through Levi's hair twice before moving to his stomach to press on his bandage. The wound was starting to become itchy again, and he could feel the uncomfortable tautness each time he inhaled. Moving slowly, Ty carefully tried to find the end of the bandage, wanting to remove it without stirring too much. He didn't need to alert his companion, especially since he was stopped the last time. His eyes remained shut, hoping to at least give off the illusion of sleeping while his hand wandered around his abdomen.

<div align=center>Ty's distrust of Levi was probably the wrong judgement, although he was mischievous and unlikely to keep promises, he didn't feel like this was embarrassing enough to use against Tyberius. Besides, who even knew who he was? Levi didn't think Ty had interacted with anyone but himself, and now of course those hideous little goblins that had caused all this trouble. Levi couldn't help but feel guilty, was this his fault? Probably. He'd only wanted someone to come out with him, it was funner going out with someone else rather than just being alone, even if that person had the temperament of a honey badger. I don't think he's all just bark, either.

A single, cerulean eye snapped open again, and Levi's hand darted to grab Ty's wrist. "Leave them alone!" He hissed, frowning and reaching for his other hand, holding onto the older man's wrists and frowning at him. "It's for your own good, y'know." He murmured, his tone of voice softening. "If you pull the bandage off it'll get infected." There must have been a way to stop him from scratching at it, or at least a way to distract him from trying to pull the bandage off for a little while. "If you don't stop trying to pull the bandage off I'm gonna have to tape mittens to your hands."</div>
