(i'm speaking figuratively of course)
“Didn’t do either of those things. Probably. Pretty sure about one of ‘em, anyway.”
Kerry grins up at Fabian, all wide and dopey-eyed, to try and show him he’s fine.
“Little blood never hurt anyone. Kinda hot. And besides — hungry.”
Tilting his head now to try and lick at Fabian’s hand, if he can reach.
“Uh.”
It’s the vehicular manslaughter Kerry’s pretty sure he didn’t commit — this time — but he avoids answering just to be cheeky. Dopey smile still plastered on his face. He’s happy to see Fabian, okay? Despite the minor car accident.
“More bark than bite,” Kerry mumbles. The gash on his head isn’t terribly large, although the bleeding continues in a trickle. “The cut, I mean. Not me. I’m a biter.”
With that, he’ll nip at Fabian’s hand: dragging his teeth across his palm.
“I can multi-task. Real skilled that way.”
Oh, Kerry’s not at all normal about fingers in mouths. Got his eyes on Fabian’s lips as he sucks on his thumb. Kerry’s thumb soon? He nods to himself. Yeah, Kerry’s fuckin’ thumb soon.
“I got a brain. More interested in checking out your blood thing. You got a blood thing, babe?”
Pursing his lips against Fabian’s hand, now; mumbling an incoherent: “Yeah, I got you your pancakes.”
He puts one hand over Fabian’s — never gonna say no to fingers near his mouth, even if it’s to shut him up — while using the other to awkwardly reach for the food bag. Snapping his fingers like a crab. Catching the handle and tugging the bag up and onto the bed.
Probably spilling syrup inside, but that’s fine. More to lick when they make a mess.
Kerry cocks his head, but he’s still smiling real big. Licking a stripe along Fabian’s palm; tongue slipping between his fingers.
There’s a little more blood dripping down his forehead, into his hair. A slow trickle. Unlike Fabian, though, Kerry doesn’t care where his blood gets. Can always get new clothes. New sheets.
Then, mumbled against Fabian’s fingers: “Feed me.”
Hungry, sure, but his interest is more in the whole process. Imagining Fabian with whipped cream all over his fingers. Smearing it across Kerry’s lips. Other parts of him.
Kerry swears he has a brain.
“Hmm. Doctor Fabian.” Kerry’s imagination is getting away from him for about the hundredth time today as Fabian mops up his blood. “Takin’ real good care of me, Doc.”
No utensils allowed: Kerry probably would’ve batted them away.
“Real good care, huh?” Mumbled against Fabian’s fingers. But he won’t be difficult — not about this. Kerry accepts the small bite, lapping at the syrup. After swallowing, he says: “Gimme a bite with chocolate chips.”
Okay, he’ll be a little difficult.
“Now you’re just being cute. But I like it. Can return the favor.”
