"

Shit..." Baxter says just before his experiment explodes and sends him flying back into a nearby wall. Smoke filled the room, Baxter couldn't see much, but he didn't have to in order to know how badly he was hurt. His neck, his arms, his face, his legs. Despite the protection he wears whenever he messes with chemicals, it seems that this time the chemicals were a lot worse than he anticipated. It burned through his clothes, luckily those burns weren't nearly as bad as the ones where the chemicals just hit bare skin.

The smoke eventually cleared, allowing Baxter to see the state of his lab, and himself for that matter. Beakers were shattered, tools and chemicals covered the floor, a little bit of blood trickled down parts of his body from the glass and the burns were severe.

He sighed in annoyance and pushed himself up with shaky arms, about to begin his cleanup when his alarm went off. It was time to get Nifty and go home.

"Damnit..." He sighed, "I can clean up tomorrow."

Taking off his lab coat and other materials was agonizing, but he could deal with it. He didn't want to make Nifty wait long for him. He even had trouble in the car. His back must have been injured as well because he couldn't lean back against the seat. This wasn't good.

He pulled up to the hotel, parking the car and walking into the building. There were only two people in sight, Husker at the bar and Alastor at the front desk. Husker was the first to notice him. He sighed and tilted his head towards the direction of the kitchen.

"Nifty! Your boyfriends here and he looks like he's about to drop dead!" He called out before immediately turning back to his phone and taking another sip of alcohol. 

Nifty rushed out of the kitchen immediately, running over to Baxter when she noticed the state he was in. 

"Baxter! What happened? Are you okay?" She asked, grabbing his hand and leading him over to the couch. 

Baxter groaned as he sat down, "I'm fine..."

"No you're not! You're clearly in a lot of pain!" She noticed the anxious look on his face and sighed, "I'll be right back. Don't move." He nodded and watched as she rushed off.

He didn't move, scared that if he did then the pain would get worse. Was Nifty mad at him? Should he have stayed back at the lab? Should he have just called her and tell her that he was going to be late? Was there something different he could've done to prevent all of this?

Nifty didn't take long to come back. She had medical supplies with her, placing them to the side as she sat next to him. 

"I can take care of some of this now and deal with the rest of it when we get home," she said, gently grabbing his arms to observe some of his wounds.

"I-I can take care of it...let's just go home," he said. Nifty shook her head.

"I can do it, it's the least I can do. Now hold still. You have some glass shards stuck in there that I need to pull out." She grabbed the tweezers and held him still as she carefully removed the visible shards; she could do a more thorough search when they got home. 

She was gentle as she wiped away the blood from the cuts, placing small bandages over them before grabbing some burn cream and gently rubbing it against the burns. It was cool, very soothing. Nifty noticed how Baxter relaxed a bit, obviously feeling better already. She smiled, carefully wrapping his arms and neck in bandages. His face would have to wait for a bit.

Baxter smiled and gently kissed her forehead, "thank you."

Nifty giggled and kissed one of his bandages, "anytime." She stood up, picking up everything she brought with her. "Stay here, I'll finish cleaning up and then we can go home!" Baxter smiled at her and nodded, watching as she walked away.

He looked down at the bandages on his arms. Sure, he was still hurt and in excruciating pain, but he appreciated what Nifty did for him. She really was the best girlfriend ever.
