I felt creative on a Sunday night:)
Care
"Here ya go..!"
Sulley wrapped a napkin around the wounded finger, and pressed it against the cut to stop the bleeding;
"Hold it like this until I get back with a band-aid!
"C`mon James..!" Randall sighed;
"It`s not deep..! I don`t need a band-aid."
He loosened his grip a little, but Sulley closed his hand around the finger again;
"If you plan to keep cooking tonight, you`re getting one; the wound can get infected..! Now, press it!"
And without another word, he left the room, leaving the lizard alone with his not-so-serious injury.
He had been cutting vegetables, when the knife had somehow slipped. The result was a cut on the middle finger on his upper left hand, and even though it wasn`t very deep, it still stung. But of course Randall wouldn`t admit that.
He glanced down at the napkin Sulley had given him to cover the wound, and noticed how blood was slowly starting to show through the thin paper. He shivered a little at the sight. He wasn`t fond of blood, and quickly moved his eyes somewhere else.
However, now that he knew he was bleeding, he couldn`t stop thinking about it. And with the sight of blood came the pain. It actually did sting. Quite a lot.
Where the hell was James with that band-aid?
James.
Randall had to smile; his boyfriend was always so worried. Even when there was nothing to worry about. If Randall forgot to return a phone call, he would worry. If Randall hurt his toe against the kitchen table, he would worry. If Randall started coughing while they were eating, he would worry.
The smile on the lizard`s face grew wider; someone who worried that much…had to care, too. A lot.
Eventually, Sulley made it back from the bathroom with a first aid kit;
"How`s it going?"
He still looked worried, and when he saw that the napkin was all covered up in blood, Randall could have sworn that his fur actually turned paler;
"Not deep, eh? Here, let me see -"
Randall gave him his hand and looked in another direction as the furry monster removed the napkin and cleaned the cut. It stung, but he was careful not to show it. He still had his pride.
After a little while, Sulley wrapped the finger up in a big band-aid;
"There ya go, good as new! Or at least it will be -" he added with a chuckle;
"Are you okay, Randall?"
"Why are you always so worried, James?" Randall grinned as he studied his finger.
"What do you mean?"
"You`re always so worried about me. Why`s that..?"
He knew the answer. He knew it very well. He just needed to hear it from the other. And when James said the words he longed to hear, Randall`s grin widened as he leaned closer to kiss him.
