Javier Esposito looked down at the small man in his arms his eyes tracing the angular shape of the man's body. The warm water from the bath was enveloping the both of them but Kevin looked less than content. It had been a rough case, one that had ended with more injuries for Kev than Javi wanted to ever see again, but he couldn't stop thinking about it as he looked down at his hurt partner. Kev was paler than normal with a splattering of dark bruises around his neck and collar bone, extending out to encircle his left arm, which had been painfully dislocated only hours earlier. Kev's face was sporting painful but miniscule cuts and abrasions courtesy of a glass window. As though he could feel Javi's intense gaze Kev tried to reposition himself in a more comfortable way, before giving up and just leaning back into Javi's chest again. "Uncomfortable?" Javi's gruff voice broke the heavy silence. The younger of the two was never one to complain, always hating when too much attention was aimed his way. He nodded his pale head and that's when Javi started to become much a little more worried. "Kev… babe" at this the pale Irish-American turned his torso to bury his head into Javi's tanned shoulder and began to quietly whimper and slowly sobs wracked his thin frame. There was really nothing that the older man could do but hold his shaking partner as the water became cold. Javier and Kevin had only been together for three months and were still not quite at the point of talking about their feelings. Their time together usually consisted of watching football games and eating pizza on the couch in Esposito's apartment. There was bedroom time of course, but this was their first attempt at something a little more intimate. Javi needed Kev to know that he was safe after the ordeal he had endured during this case, and a warm bath had seemed appropriate. Now holding Kev in his arms he knew just how much he loved the smaller man. So they sat well into the night, till darkness turned to a new morning and Kevin fell asleep in Javi's arms. Javi stared at the heavy head of dark hair on his chest, bending down to kiss the brown mop that he cared about so dearly. "Love you Kev, tomorrow will be better, I promise."
