my powers are back

Despite wanting this to be a happy reunion, despite truly wanting nothing more than to let Rictor hold him, Jono shouted, aloud, squirmed out of his hold, the bloody snow smearing around the roof. He tried moving away from Rictor, but his back hit the corner of the roof, drawing a further hiss of pain. “Don’t… Don’t.” his voice, new and soft, was strained and obviously pained.

He frowned, worried, and backed away, holding his hands up in a gesture of peace. “Okay, okay, I’ll just-” He sat on the ledge, gesturing for Jono to sit as close to him as he liked. “We- what happened, amor?” Ric asked, trying to keep his voice steady, but at the sight of Jono, at his reaction- all he wanted to do was hold the other man, clean him up- but he looked like a startled animal, ready to bolt at anything unexpected.

“I c… I ca…” Jono shook, pressed far as he was into the corner, despite how it reopened the scabs on his back. It was likely just easier to show at this point. Carefully, jono un curled, and opened his jacket more, showing that under neath, he had no shirt, and his belly glistened wetly with blood.

"Oh, dios, permítanme-" He gasped, throwing himself to his feet, but catching himself and stepping back. "We need- we need to get you cleaned up, need to help you, please, amor." Ric said, eyes wide. "Come inside."

Ric threw his phone to the bed, sprinting up to the roof. “J?” He called out, looking around. He ran over to Jono, tugging the other man into his arms. “What- happened?”

“Yeah, I do. I’m R- Julio.”

“And you don’t hit me either, right? Shatterstar said that he didn’t, but i want to make sure. He was telling a fact, right?”

“Yeah. He was telling the truth, J. We both care about you a lot- we could never hurt you.”

"Jono. I'm promising you right here, right now, and if I have to I will every single day of my life- 'Star and I will never hurt you intentionally." He said, brow furrowed a little.

“Yeah, I do. I’m R- Julio.”

Wanna help me get you undressed enough for what I had in mind, chica?

*nods and nips her lip* What do ya want me ta do, Ric?

Lift up on your hands. *Toys with her waistband.*

*lifts them, smiling coyly*

Oh, sure, yeah.

I suppose she liked the way I talked about you. Jono could come too, if he liked, since things have changed since I last spoke to her.

Sure, whatever you want.

Mmmm. I’m all present and accounted for, though.

Glad to hear it.

How’re you, amor?

Very good, thank you. Oh! Alison wanted to talk to you, meet you in person. 

Oh, sure, yeah.

Mmmm. I’m all present and accounted for, though.

Glad to hear it.

How're you, amor?

I wouldn’t advise running in the shower.

… Didn’t mean it like that, amor.

That probably changes things.

Mmmm. I'm all present and accounted for, though.

I wouldn’t advise running in the shower.

... Didn't mean it like that, amor.

… You wouldn’t.

Please don't.

I think that's the closest thing I've ever had to a compliment from you.

… Seeing as I usually sleep in between Jono and ‘Star I don’t think that’s gonna happen, M.

... You wouldn't.
