Taking a look around as they head out of the tattoo room, they instantly spot him sitting in the waiting room, arms crossed & eyebrows slightly frowning with worry. It only lasts for the blink of an eye, but Gee's heart skips a beat as Levi looks up at them, a tender glint in his grey gaze.
Rising swiftly from his chair, hastening to join them, Levi helps them put on their coat very carefully, then he gently wraps a scarf around Gee's neck.
'Better cover up to keep you warm,' he says in a low voice, 'it's fucking freezing out there!'
A little dizzy, Gee lets Levi take control as he leads them out, one hand delicately resting on their lower back.
'I was supposed to go home on my own' Gee says as they walk to the car side by side. 'I didn't want to bother you, Levi'.
'Tch, c'mon! Bother me, really?' he utters, 'you know I won't let you take care of this by yourself. I drive you home, period.'
Levi opens the passenger door for them, leaves a peck on the corner of their lips as he buckles up their seat belt, then sits behind the steering wheel.
As the car pulls out of the parking lot, Levi gently places his right hand on Gee's thigh, instantly spreading a soothing warmth.
'How are you feeling? Does it hurt?' he asks with concern.
'I've felt better than this before, but I'll be fine I guess', they mumble, tilting their head to rest it on the car window as they watch streets & buildings go by through the glass.
Levi takes a quick look at Gee, softly stroking their leg.
'I bought mild soap, antibacterial ointment & painkillers on the way,' he adds, 'also cooked some chicken soup we just have to reheat when we're home.'
Gee gently squeezes his hand in thanks, a small smile on their lips.
'You're always so kind, Levi' they say, looking at him with fondness.
Levi rolls his eyes & slightly blushes & looks away.
'How is PJ doing?' they ask.
Levi snorts first, but finally replies. 'Tch, your fucking cat won't stop meowing while you're away! I had to take him on my lap & cuddle him for a while. He messed up my shirt with his red hairs!''
He pauses.
Then, a little embarrassed: 'well, hearing him finally purr in my arms was worth the trouble I guess.'
He smirks.
'We'll be home soon.'
*****
As soon as they open the front door and walk in, PJ rushes to rub against Gee's legs, tail curved, meowing like crazy.
'Tch… I know he missed you, but does he have to be so loud?' Levi grumbles as he hangs Gee's coat & scarf on the coat rack. 'First things first, we must clean your tattoo. I put the kettle on for tea, wait for me in the bathroom.'
He hands them a paper bag with everything they need to take care of their arm.
'Be careful taking off your shirt,' he warns & lifting his head to kiss their cheek, 'I'll be right back in no time!'
*****
After placing the tattoo care products near the sink, Gee sits on the edge of the bathtub.
PJ -nothing new here of course- followed them in the bathroom. He looks up at them, slowly blinking in adoration, purring loudly, still rubbing against their legs from time to time.
Levi comes in a few moments after with a gentle smile softening his focused face & chases the cat out with a curt 'go the fuck away, furball!'
While the tea steeps, Levi puts on sterile gloves to take care of Gee's tattoo. He gently removes the protection film from the skin, revealing droplets of blood. The skin is a little swollen, the tattoo colors bright, the drawn kitty so cute.
'Ouch!' Gee lets out, 'it's more painful than I expected.'
'I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!' Levi apologizes.
Carefully, he washes the tattoo with mild soap and warm water & gently pats the skin dry. He applies a layer of antibacterial ointment with his softest touch.
Feeling Gee's gaze on his face, he rolls his eyes.
'What ? You're staring, Gee. Got some shit on my face ?' he blurts out rudely as he tries to hide his embarrassment & blushing violently to the tips of his ears.
Aware that he may have injured Gee unintentionally, he leans to them & kisses their forehead as an apology.
'C'mon, let's make you comfortable so you can rest and have some tea,' he says with a soft voice.
*****
Levi adjusts a few pillows around Gee as they settle on the couch as comfortably as possible. He hands them a glass of fresh water & a pill of painkillers, then covers them with a warm & soft blanket.
The cat jumps on Gee's lap, purring as he kneads on their thighs, then settles himself to nest & nap, enjoying their caresses on his red & white fur.
Levi lowers the lights.
Leaning over Gee, eyebrows furrowed in concern, his breath warm on their skin, his lips gently brush on their forehead.
'Is everything ok? Are you comfortable?' he asks, his voice so soft it gives Gee goosebumps.
'I'm fine, don't worry !' they reply with a sigh of satisfaction.
Reassured, Levi goes to the kitchen and comes back shortly after, carrying a tray with two cups & a pot of Gee's favorite tea.
He pours the fragrant hot beverage, hands one cup to Gee & sits next to them on the couch, his own cup in one hand. Carefully, he pulls them closer to his chest, put their head in the crook of his neck & kisses the top of their head.
'I'm here for you Gee. I love you!' Levi says.
Wrapped in Levi's warm love, smiling softly, Gee slowly falls asleep.
