Blame It On Pride

Y/n's POV:

Doctor announced that we could go home rather soon, they just require to provide essential checking...

It's evening, outside is murky, dark, the artificial lanterns that plaster down the road is the sole source of light, however they begin to gradually fade themselves,

I am pressed closely against Rafe,

Once the doctors leave, I glance at Rafe, I do want to know on where he got that scar,

I was relentlessly budging him with these questions, however he always sidetracked or simply said that it's nothing of a high importance,

Well it is to me...

I gather this final throng of courage,

'Rafe, where did you get that scar?' I inquire, he sighs and cocks his head aside, revealing his jawline that was clenched, possibly due to my constant inquisition,

'I said, it's nothing important-'

'Rafe, please, I am worried, I was worried so-so much, you know how many times I thought my heart would just flee out? I understand that there is certain elements that we don't want to talk about...,but, communication is in fact key.' I say, gliding my fingers on his knuckles ,

'Fine...when I dealt with those cowards...'

I know what he meant by 'dealt'...

Inclining on when I was injured...

'Each and everyone was capitulated entirely, I made sure of that, but once I got inside the car, there was n particular one that was hiding all this time...pussy...
He tried to do something, he was in fact shit, had only a flaky penknife on him, so I finished him as well...'

'Why didn't you tell me earlier-why didn't you go to the hospital?'

'Because I did not want to worry you.' He admits,

'Rafe...it is your health that we are talking about, I will have to embark those words...I do utterly love you Rafe, and knowing that you were injured, it did crash me, we can't hide those things, please...' I insist as he smirks and kisses the top of my head,

'Whatever you want...I'll have to agree.' He says as I smile...

—-

Doctor announces that we are essentially free to go, he prescribed a list of medicine, Rafe was once again refusing to take it, however, we did negotiate something in order for him to take it...

Wheezie was informed and she fell into a frenzy,

Once we got home, she ran towards us, almost slipping,

'Rafe-Y/n, how are you-?' She asks frantically, looking at his bandaged torso as we walk inside,

Rafe chuckles and proceeds to just...turn on the kettle?

'Love, I'll make you some tea, you go rest-'

'I'm alright babe-'

'Rafe-'

'Y/n.' He says, creasing his eyebrow and lowering his head as I sigh and simply stand beside him,

'Wheeze, he's alright, well, ailing-'

'I am not ailing.' He firmly proclaims,

'He has some medicine to take, a list, no vigorous exercise-'

After saying he last words, he smirks and looks at me, licking his bottom lip as his eyes visibly linger down my body,

I shift in my stance,

His back is facing Wheeze so I'm assured that she can't see him...I reckon.

'We will have to scribble the 'no vigorous exercise' column.' He says, grinning zealously at me,

'And erm, yeah, that's-that sums it up.' I say to Wheeze who sceptically looks at me, nodding,

'Sure, if you need anything from me, let me know, my anything, I don't mean anything.' She says as my eyes widen momentarily as Rafe chuckles, pouring the boiling water inside the mug,

Wheezie leaves, Rafe's fingers begin to trace up my thigh whilst twirling the spoon in between his fingers, he pushes me closer by my waist as he places his head in the crook of my neck, planting a soft kiss,

'Do you know on how long I've been waiting for this...?' He asks as I gulp, I then see the way his index and middle finger trace down-in circular motions on the top surface of the cup, going over and over again, he smiles against my skin once his lips manage to reach my shoulder,

'We-can't, your wound-'

'Oh please, yes we can, I'll be gentle...maybe.' He smirks,

I can't hide the fact that I am in fact longing for him, but it might be dangerous,

'Rafe...'

'Hm?' He hums whilst plastering his lips on every inch of my body...

Rafe's POV:

I want to press my lips on every core, every inch, every part of her body, I've been waiting for this for so cursed long,

I want to feel her, to hear her scream those pretty sounds that get me into a frenzy,

To feel her skin even closer, brushing against mine,

To please her and only her,

I cannot wait anymore...I've waited enough...
