Knight in Shining Armor

Beaten and Broken //Carrigan and Ethan//

"ooh I see," he teased.  "So it would amuse you to see me tortured."  He groaned but tugged Ethan down besides him.  "How about you just lay here with me for a few minutes.  Let a guy catch his breath first."

Ethan curled up to the other male's side, "It's not torture, clearly you've already had enough of that. I more prefer the word teasing." He leaned over and placed a quick kiss to the male's lips. "Why would I ever let you catch your breath? I prefer it so much more when you're breathless. I will lay with you though. Only because you're warm." 

Beaten and Broken //Carrigan and Ethan//

Carrigan couldn’t help smiling softly at Ethan.  He was exactly what he needed right now.  He was making him forget about the pain and the torture he went through.  HE caught Ethan’s hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.  ”you’re helping.  Just stay with me, please.”  Carrigan groaned.  ”DOn’t make me laugh it hurts.  But how do you want me to entertain you?”

"I think I can manage that much," Ethan said pulling his hand over and kissing his palm. "I'll stay with you as long as you need me. I don't have anywhere else to be. I'll try to keep you from laughing but I can't make any promises though. I'm a pretty funny guy, Carrigan," He smirked. "I don't know, maybe I can wear nothing but one of your shirts you like seeing me in while I take care of you. You can't really do much so it'd just be for my amusement to see how long you last before you can't stand it anymore."

Carrigan stiffled a wince as Ethan helped him sit up.  His ribs were killing him.  But he had survived.  He had been let go.  ”I think I can manage.  Although you can give me mouth to mouth any day of the week, hot stuff.”  He took the glass from Ethan and gulped down the water as if… well.. as if he were dying of thirst.  Some of the water dripped down his chin and chest in his haste.  He looked at Ethan, embarrassed as he wiped his mouth and jaw dry of the water.  ”Thanks..”  He noticed the male’s anger.  ”I’m okay, Ethan.”

Ethan leaned in and placed a kiss to the male's lips, "You're welcome Carrigan. I can't say I'm much help though. I'm not really the one people come to when they're hurt, that's usually Lacey." He wiped a drop of water from the male's chin, smiled. "This would be so much more fun if you didn't look like absolute shit. I'll keep that mouth to mouth and naughty nurse thing in mind however. You have to entertain me somehow while I take care of you," He smirked.

Carrigan smiled at Ethan as he winced and helped Ethan get him undressed.  “If only.  And unfortunately you’re not playing sexy nurse either.”  He groaned.   as he lay down in the bed and Ethan began to clean his injuries.  Carrigan looked at Ethan and sighed softly.  “It was my last fear test.  I had Jackson in it and I killed him.  So next thing I know, I’m being dragged into the basement by Victor for interrogation about the death of Jackson.  He really worked me over but decided I had nothing to do with Jackson’s death and he let me go.  But man, for a while there, I was sure I would never see you or anybody else, ever again.  I thought my time in dauntless was up.  Can.. can you get me some water?”  Carrigan’s throat was dry.  he hadn’t been given water or food while he’d been kept for interrogation, and his throat hurt from the screaming in pain.  If he hadn’t hated Victor before, he did now.  And yet, he knew there was nothing he could do about it.  Victor was a leader, the interrogation was sanctioned, and even if it wasn’t sanctioned by the other leaders, leader outranked scholar any day of the week. 

Ethan's fists stayed balled at his side as he got Carrigan a glass of water. Victor pissed him the hell off. The guy might not have done anything to him but he was a prick. No matter what weird relationship him and Roxy had, the guy had touch Tash and now Carrigan. He took a breath, filling the glass. He couldn't do anything though. He was seriously out ranked and Ethan had far too much to lose. Walking back he took his place beside Carrigan. "Let's sit you up so you can get some water." Putting the glass down momentarily, he helped the other male. He held out the glass to him. "Do you need help or can you do it yourself." A smirked pulled at kiss lips, "Maybe I should give you the water mouth to mouth if it's too much to drink on your own." No matter how much he couldn't stand Victor, now wasn't really the time. Carrigan looked like shit and Ethan had to take care of him. For now he could focus on just that and drop his anger. 

"You know I always have my eyes on everyone," He teased. "Ma'am I think you may be an alcoholic," He laughed. "Let's go to my apartment. I should have something for your head ache and I have alcohol."

Carrigan groaned but did his best to get up with Ethan’s help.  His lips were pressed tight with pain.  It wasn’t easy getting up and by the time he made it to his feet with Ethan’s help, there were beads of sweat on his forehead.  He closed his eyes, taking deep breaths and trying to just get past the pain.  ”I’m okay,” he said to Ethan.  ”just really sore.  Nothing’s broken.”

Ethan wrapped his arm around his waist , holding him tightly and letting the male lean on him. "I'll see if you are okay or not when we get you home." He walked slowly with him back to Carrigan's apartment. He got the male's door open and to his bed. Laying Carrigan down, he helped him out of his shirt, "If only you weren't hurt and I was stripping to have fun. Unfortunately though I have to play nurse and take care of you." Ethan went to get a wet rag from the male's bathroom. He started cleaning the blood from his face, smiling down at him, "Sould I even ask what happened."

Beaten and Broken //Carrigan and Ethan//

Ethan rolled his eyes, "You can have me naked once you're better. For now though let's get you home." The poor guy was in so much pain. Ethan wondered for a second what had happened but pushed the thought to the back of his mind. Right now he needed to worry about getting him up and taken care of. Ethan placed his arms on Carrigan, trying to pull him up. "You have to help me a bit here. The sooner I get you home the sooner I can take care of you." He knew the male should go to the infirmary but that just might make it worse. Something had happened to him and it was probably best to keep this off record. 

"Hi?"
