"Great news," Scott said. "It's been a week and a half since the surgery you are healing great. I think it might be time to let you go home."
"What? You're not teasing me are you because that would just be cruel."
He handed Drew his freshly signed discharge paper. "You still need to take it easy but everything should be fine. You have an appointment with Ortho next week and they will be able to give you a time line to return to work."
Rick couldn't help but laugh as Drew bounced up and down in the passenger seat of the truck. "Do you think you can behave long enough for me to run into the store? We haven't been home in a while and Lynn probably wiped out most of the food while she was staying there."
He rolled down his window and took a deep breath. "Are you kidding? I'm out side in fresh air! I'll be fine," he laughed.
He pulled into the store parking lot and shut the truck off. "Good because I'd hate to have to duct tape you to the seat."
He frowned at him, "you wouldn't dare."
"Ooh I so would," he nodded as he got out of the truck and started to the entrance.
"Wow I think he really would," he said to himself.
It had only taken him a few minutes to pick up some supplies. He saw Drew leaning forward in the seat as he put the bags in the back of the truck. Drew jumped when he opened the door. "What are you doing," he laughed. There were papers strewn all over the cab of the truck and he was trying frantically to shove them back into a folder.
"I, uh," he pointed to the glove box. "It just exploded."
"You just better be happy you're so damn cute," he leaned over and kissed him.
"I am aren't I?" he smirked.
Rick rolled his eyes and playfully shoved his head to the side. "You are so cleaning all of this up."
Once they got home Rick was putting the groceries away when he felt Drew press against him from behind and wrap his arms around him. "Mmm."He reached back and ran his fingers through Drew's hair pulling him down for a kiss. He turned around wrapping his arms around drew and grabbing his ass with both hands.
Drew moaned as their bodies ground together his hips bucking involuntarily in need. He reached up and started to unbutton Rick's shirt. Rick took Drew's hands into his own stepping back from the kiss. "What's wrong?" he reached for him again and Rick stepped back. Doubt started flooding him again. Now that they were at home and they could be together there was no reason to stop unless he just didn't want to be with him after the rape.
Rick tugged his hand and led him down the hall to the bathroom. He fixed the shower starting the hot water then turned back to Drew and he could see the uncertainty there so he kissed him until he was slumped boneless against the sink. "You look so beautiful right now."
He looked down at his shoes still uncomfortable with compliments. "I'm definitely am not the beautiful one in this relationship," he said kissing him again.
Rick put his arms back at his sides. "Let me take care of you." He kissed him softly and started undressing him. He paid special attention to every inch of flesh as it was revealed. He quickly undressed himself then pulled him into the shower.
Picking up the wash cloth and soap and began to wash him taking care to massage each tense muscle until it relaxed and he was he was laying bodily against him. "You still with me?" he smiled kissing the soft spot between his neck and his shoulder.
"Never been more with you then I am right now," he almost purred.
"Are you sure you're up for this? I understand if it's too soon."
"Make love to me Rick."
Rick was fixing dinner when Drew walked in to the kitchen. His eyes were barely open and he had on a pair of jeans that were riding low on his hips with a shirt tossed over his shoulder. "Hey," he kissed him. "Did you sleep well babe?"
He pulled Rick back and kissed him again. "Better than I have in a year." It had been an entire year since they had made love.
"Sit," he grabbed a cold beer from the fridge and handed it to Drew.
"Thanks. Something smells great."
"I'm making your favorite; pasta with red sauce." He dipped some of the sauce out on a spoon for him to taste.
"Mmm perfect. Can I do anything to help?"
"You can set the table if you feel up to it."
They moved around the kitchen with ease and soon had dinner on the table. "This is amazing. You've out done yourself."
"Thanks," Rick smiled. He loved they times when they could be domestic together. "God I've missed this."
"Me too," he reached across the table and squeezed his hand. "You're spoiling me."
"You bet I am and I don't intend to stop anytime soon."
They talked and laughed all though dinner and Drew insisted on taking care of all the clean up since Rick had cooked and now they were snuggled on the couch watching T.V. "I've missed a lot of movies being in Iraq," Rick laughed as he flipped through the guide.
"Wait!" Drew jumped up and went to the bookshelf where they kept their movies. "You'll love this one," he smiled as he put the Blu-ray in the player.
"What is it?" He leaned back and pulled Drew to sit between his legs and lean back against him.
"You will have to wait and see," he teased.
The opening credits started on the movie and he saw the Marvel logo followed by the Avenger's logo. "I've been dying to see this! They played it for a week in the pit but were on a mission so I missed it."
