California-Smash

  After getting over the initial shock that Chizome felt the same about him David grabbed one of his hands and gave it a small squeeze before closing the gap between them again for another kiss. Pulling away after a few moments with a tiny smile. “Hopefully that shows you the answer you’re looking for.” He would be fine with being Chizome’s boyfriend as long as the other would have him.

Bold of Dave to assume that the kiss was allowed to end. Chizome leaned in, once again ignoring the pain, and took hold of his collar, pulling him back for yet another kiss. So maybe he was a little touch starved, sue him. "It sure does."

  All that Chizome would get for a response now was a muffled squeak of surprise when he was pulled in for another kiss by the collar, hands pressing on the bed to steady himself. That way he didn’t fall forward and land on the man to aggravate injuries, smiling into the kiss with a happy look in his eyes. 

He could kiss him all day... but probably shouldn't, if the pain going through most of his body was any indication. "...Kissing you is very nice, but I need to lay back down. Apparently being stabbed repeatedly is painful, who knew?"

  “Yeah seems like it would be a pain to be given ton of little holes in your body. I’d love to keep kissing you too but it’s probably best to lay back down. At least when your fully recovered then we can kiss all we want to without problems.” He has not been out on dates or in a romantic relationship in years so he was a bit rusty in that area but he was sure that he could handle it just fine.

  David sat himself down on the edge of the bed while turning himself to face Chizome with a raised eyebrow. “Alright I’m here Chizome what do you need? don’t worry I made sure to get rid of all the evidence that can tie us to anything that villain had to do with this whole thing.”

Instead of explaining, Chizome just took Dave's face in his hands and pulled him into a kiss, ignoring the pain this movement brought. He lingered for a few moments before pulling away again and letting go.

 Before David could even begin to ask what his friend was doing when putting his hands on his face the gap had been closed between them, feeling his heart stop for a moment and his eyes widen. His mind taking a moment to catch up to what was happening, that they were kissing right now. Once the kiss had been broken the brunette’s lips opened and closed, trying to find words but nothing would come out. David’s face quickly turned a dark red color while his heart was beating faster in his chest, the look of shock being noticeable in his eyes.

"...I know that was sudden, but... I, uh... I didn't know how else to do it... Uh... I heard what you said last night. And..." God, why was this so difficult? The last actual romantic relationship he'd been in was years ago, but he still should have remembered how this stuff worked. "...Yeah. I feel the same way."

  Oh god Chizome heard what he was saying last night, He could feel his face now turning into a dark crimson color from the embarrassment alone of being heard spilling his guts like that. Wait he.. Chizome felt the same way about him?    “W-wait really? You.. feel the same about me?” To be honest David didn’t see himself as someone that stood out a whole lot, yeah he had his accomplishments which were great but outside of that he didn’t think of himself as that great.

  Having left again to grab a few books to keep his mind occupied while letting Chizome sleep in peace, David got comfortable again and started reading. He knew it may be a while before his friend woke up but he felt better watching over him like this so he had no problem with staying by his bedside.

Almost a full twelve hours later, Stain finally woke up, not bothering to open his eyes yet. He could tell from the light breathing and turning of pages he could hear that Dave was here, and that meant he was safe and didn't have to move yet.

  The brunette had soon finished the last book he had brought with him to read while Chizome slept, putting it on top of the small stack before getting up to put them back where he got them. He would grab new ones and be right back to keep watch over his friend so that he felt more at ease while resting. Or at least he hoped that’s what he was doing when watching over him. 

He could hear more movement now, and the door must have signalled David leaving the room. With that, Chizome pushed himself up, eliciting a small groan of pain as his wounds made themselves known, and finally opened his eyes.

 Returning a few minutes later with some new books to read, setting them down and giving his friend a small smile once he had returned to the room. “Hey there Chizome looks like you’re finally awake. How are you doing there?”

  After the last of Chizome’s injuries were taken care of and wrapped up the brunette cleaned up the mess made before he sat down in a chair next to the bed, holding onto his friend’s hand. Now all he could do was wait and hope for the best. “Don’t worry Chizome I’m watching over you so you can rest easy.”

He didn't give a response, moving being too much for him right now. If it wasn't Dave, then he wouldn't feel as safe as he did now, and he was actively trying to sleep.

    David wasn’t sure what to do right now other than wait so he started talking. He started talking about how much he has been enjoying his friendship with Chizome, How he looked forward to when they would meet up again to spend time with one another. How he had recently begun feeling something more than friendship for him but he didn’t wish to make things weird between them so he had kept it to himself. That even if he didn’t feel the same just having him around as a friend was good enough for him, gently squeezing the seemingly unconscious man’s hand as he was getting what he wanted to say off of his chest.

...No, never mind about sleeping, he wanted to hear this. Surprised, Chizome listened as his friend detailed everything he felt, heart feeling like it was beating out of his chest. Holy shit, was his last thought before exhaustion finally got the best of him and sent him to sleep.

  David felt better actually now that he had got all of that off of his chest, having left to grab some food and drinks so that he didn’t have to go too far away from Chizome if he were to wake up and need anything. Even if his friend would most likely never hear those words anytime soon it still felt good getting it off of his chest.

  David had not expected to run into this while being out getting stocked up on medical supplies, maybe it was some guy feeling that told him he would need to cause it sure as hell looked like that they would be needed now. In matter of moments the brunette got the hood of his jacket up with his scarf being pulled tighter to hide his face. Dropping his bags down to the ground and grabbing the first thing that his hand got a hold of to strike the attacker in the knees to make them stop moving before bringing his hand down again on their head to knock them out.    “A-are you alright Chizome? Can you hear me?”

...There he was. His friend. Apparently beating the shit out of the attacker, if the noises of pain were any judge. "...I can... hear you," he confirmed through a mouthful of blood.

Once he was sure that the attacker was down for the count David was by his friend’s side in an instant, thankful that they were at least still conscious. “It’s alright i’m here now. Let’s get you back to my place and I’ll get you all fixed up ok?” lifting Chizome up into his arms after cleaning and disposing of the weapon, grabbing his bags and began the trip back to his home.

He trusted Dave to keep him safe, and his arms were a comfortable place to be. Chizome closed his eyes and let himself go limp, still just about conscious but not seeming so.

  David had Melissa go over to Chizome’s home to make sure that Chiaki was ok and that he’d let her know when she could come back, setting the injured man down on the guest bed. After getting out of his jacket and scarf david rolled up the sleeves of his shirt and began to patch Chizome up, doing his best to be quick about it but also gentle as to not aggravate any injuries the other may have that are unseen.

Can you hear me?”

“Will do Chizome.” Folding up his clothes into a neat stack and setting them off to the side before putting his glasses on top, crawling into the bed to burrow underneath the blanket. Oh he must’ve been more tired than he realized already he could feel himself starting to drift off to sleep.

  “Good night Chiaki.” Thanking her for forgiving him before turning out the lights and closing the door to her room behind him.  “Alright Chizome I got Chiaki in bed now so we can finally head to bed ourselves.” already feeling a yawn slip out of his mouth while stretching his body out. 

Having already changed into something more comfortable (have you ever tried sleeping in leather? It's painful), Chizome nodded, taking Dave's arm and showing him to where the bedroom was.

  Since David didn’t bring anything to sleep in as he didn’t expect to be spending the night the brunette was most likely just going to sleep in his boxers, Letting Chizome take him to the bedroom. Already feeling his eyelids begin to grow heavier David rubbed his eyes to stay awake for just a little longer.  

Stain was willing himself not to make this weird. He could sleep in the same bed as a guy he had feelings for without it being weird, right? Right? He'd better be able to. "Do you want anything to change into? My clothes are probably a bit big on you, but..."

 “I was actually planning on just sleeping in my boxers since I didn’t bring anything to sleep in and I didn’t think any of your clothes would fit me.” He wouldn’t be opposed to the idea though of wearing some of Chizome’s clothes for the night to sleep in if it was insisted. He didn’t want to make things weird after all.
