Johnny was not in the mood for whatever joke Gyro had planned but in his current state, he couldn't object to it either, in a weird way he liked to hear what gyro had to say even if it wasn't funny in the slightest. Seeing such ignorance to one's self was funny enough to Johnny so it was why each time he would cheer him on.

He had finally finished his food and not even a second had passed when gyro suddenly sprung into action getting ready to tell his joke, he'd been saving this all day, he had gone through this many times in his head rehearsing this.

"Hey, Johnny !" Grinned gyro.

"Yeah? "

" Once there were two brothers, they didn't like each other. So they got a dog. And to spite the other the elder threw the dog in a furnace. Guess that's what you Americans call a hot dog !"

Johnny looked confused as to if gyro was being serious that was the joke however the tanned tall man was grinning from ear to ear so as always it was his time to chime in and boost his friends ego a little.

"That was amazing Gyro, I think this is your best joke yet. I loved the fact that the joke was so random and violent especially to animals, American love this !" he cheered, the joke was horrendous but seeing him so happy helped the pain a little.

He wasn't too sure why this was his response every time, the jokes seem to be getting worse after all; but he did feel full from the food Gyro made, it had hit the spot so maybe in his way Johnny was saying thanks, he couldn't figure it out however he knew that if they were to set off in the morning it would be best to rest soon.

Gyro was always happy when Johnny responded in such an excited fashion, it fueled him with a desire to keep learning new material just to make Johnny happy. Speaking of which Johnny still looked rough and they were supposed to set off by the morning. He had to help him, he was a doctor after all he should have some string or something to patch him up if there were injuries.

In hindsight, he never even checked to see if Johnny had injuries; he just made sure he and Slow Dancer were safe in the makeshift camp sight he made when Johnny fainted. 'Well now was a good enough time to inspect Johnny for anything fatal.' Thought Gyro as he approached Johnny.

"What the fuck, do you think you're doing ?" Retorted the small boy, glaring into Gyro's eyes, just what was he planning if it was that he was injured shouldn't he have checked this already? On second thoughts the camp was set up pretty nicely considering this was all Gyro's doing, perhaps it was an oversight?

"What does it look like Johnny? I'm checking if you're injured you seemed fine initially but I could've overlooked something." Expressed Gyro with a soft tone he wasn't trying to annoy his friend like this but he didn't want to have the awkward conversation where Johnny can't feel his legs so wouldn't know if they were injured. " Just let me check, you'll be thankful if I don't find anything right ? " The taller man grinned.

"I guess, but try anything and I will gladly shoot you where you stand." Johnny stated in annoyance, he wasn't in the mood for this but Gyro seemed persistent, to help and in the same way he couldn't tell him his jokes were bad , he just couldn't tell him to fuck off. The italian was a kind man who only had his best intentions.

"Thought you might say something like that johnny but if there is an injury I think conversing isn't helping anyone right now, is there anywhere, in particular, that is hurting for you?"

"My arms, I imagine it's because any pain I would feel anywhere else is just focused on the parts I can still feel though I'm sure it's not bad, you don't need to check." Spoke Johnny defensively, he knew gyro wanted to check his legs to see but he couldn't feel them so what would be the point, infection? Possibly but why didn't Gyro say that from the beginning.

The more he tried to figure him out the more confusing it got. Before he was able to finish the rest of his thoughts Gyro had already been trying to take off his pants to inspect his legs. He wanted to punch him and tell him to do one but he had no energy to waste on speaking, Gyro was just checking for injuries' Maybe they are just this friendly in Italy?' thought Johnny although he had suspicions whether he was just trying to comfort himself with that lie or if it was possibly true, he doubted it was.

Gyros touch seemed to be gentle and he was doing what he set out to do, to check for injuries. He felt embarrassed being exposed like this, he wasn't completely naked but he wondered if it made a difference, this was so awkward yet he didn't ask him to stop, he knew he could but watching Gyro from this distance was nice, he seemed more relaxed and comforting compared to when he was racing.

"You seem fine as far as I can see on your legs, should I check your arms now too ? " asked Gyro, he wasn't asking, he should check there anyway since Johnny can feel pain there would be best to see if it was surface level or worse.

"Yeah that's fine, do I have to, you know ? " the blue hat boy asked anxiously

"Have, to what?, take your shirt off, well yeah so I can check since you said you're in pain I need to make sure it's not serious. You can put your bottoms on first if you want. "

"No it's fine I'll sort it after you've checked." Johnny replied bluntly.

"As you wish Johnny boy " Chuckled the long haired man.

"Don't call me that "
