Disclaimer: I don't own any of them I'm sad to say. BTW this is based more in the movie than the book because I loved the movie and came up with this after watching it and I'm sad to admit I still haven't finished the book. I know, I know, terrible me.
Back To Before.
Part 5. (Conclusion)
Prosper's room had had a bed added to it just for Scipio but only after Prosper promised that they wouldn't get up to anything that they shouldn't. That had been an embarrassing conversation and a half. Bo walked ahead of them eagerly as Prosper helped the still weak and medicated Scipio up the stairs of the house.
"Our window has a nice view," Prosper said quietly as they turned to the right at the top of the stairs. Bo ran the little length of corridor to throw open the door.
"All I care about right now is that my beds comfy and warm," Scipio said quietly, "I am so tired and I don't think I could handle another bed like those hard hospital ones."
"Well it should be, it was Bo who chose the mattress for you, claiming it was the comfiest one there," Prosper said with a chuckle. "It is very comfy I'll admit."
"Good good," Scipio nodded. Bo was bouncing up and down happily when they finally made to the room and Prosper lowered Scipio onto the bed on the right, nearest the window. "Ooh it is nice."
"I chose it," Bo said happily.
"So I heard, well you have excellent taste my little friend. Now I need to sleep so how about you go and play with your kittens?" Scipio suggested after ruffling Bo's blond hair, so different from Prosper's. The small boy giggled and ran from the room after giving Prosper a hug. "I might need um some help changing into my pyjama's." Scipio actually blushed as he looked at Prosper.
"That's alright, I'll help and be discreet about it," Prosper said with a knowing smile as he leaned over and started to undo Scipio's jacket. "Does it hurt to move your arms?" Scipio didn't answer so Prosper took it as a yes and was even more careful than he already had been. Soon Scipio was shirtless, his bandaged chest slightly thinner than Prosper remembered it to be.
"Thanks for this Prop," Scipio mumbled as his blue cotton pyjama top was eased on. "It would have been so embarrassing if Ida had to help me…"
"I know," Scipio kissed his lips gently. "Stand up and I'll change your trousers and don't say you can do that bit, I've seen you wince when you bend over too much and when you were climbing the stairs."
"Alright you got me, it does hurt quite a lot. The gun shots I mean, well them and my back and stuff," Scipio admitted quietly while standing slowly. "Please ignore the cartoon boxers, my nurse picked them out for me." Prosper obediently didn't say anything about the cartoon bunny rabbit boxers and simply quickly pulled up the loose pyjama pants.
"Ok, into bed with you," Prosper pulled the covers down on the bed and helped Scipio to lie down comfortably then tucked him in. "Sweet dreams."
"Prosper…" Scipio called suddenly just as his boyfriend reached the door. "When you come back will you sleep beside me?" Prosper smiled lovingly at him.
"Of course I will Scipio, when I come up to sleep I'll sleep beside you and nowhere else," was his happy answer. Then he was gone, heading downstairs and Scipio drifted off to sleep with a happy smile on his face.
When Ida did her usual round of checking on her many adopted children before going to sleep she smiled fondly at what she found in Prosper's room. The two boys in Scipio's bed had their arms wrapped around each other, Scipio's head resting on Prosper's shoulder. Both of them had huge smile on their faces, smiles that Ida hadn't seen them wear in a long while. Quietly she left them alone, her own smile large enough to rival theirs.
A/N There we go, THE END! Want more, you might have ask me nicely to do a sequel then.
