Hex - Hospital
After Eliot left, Nyx mostly slept. It was really all he could do. Even with the painkillers, he ached all over. He knew he'd heal, and fast, but right now it was all misery. It didn't help that they had him on iron, making his magic sluggish. He wasn't with it enough to make up some lie about being allergic or whatever he had to say to get off it.
He wasn't sure what time it was when the lights came back on, another nurse coming through to check his vitals. Morning, maybe? He knew they'd kicked Eliot out last night, since it was already well past visiting hours when he'd been brought in, but he had no idea how long he'd been here.
His phone had been chiming all night, but a nurse had plugged it in to charge across the room, encouraging him to rest.

Hex had no answer so he simply shrugged before crawling on top of Nyx to kiss him all the way down to the pillow.
no subject
Nyx laughed, nearly dropping the bottle, then putting it aside to return the kiss as best he could. He winced when Hex moved a bit, letting out a quiet gasp of pain. It didn't seem to bother him too much though as he kissed him again.
"You're so good to me."
But Nyx couldn't help but wonder what of worth he had to offer Hex. Couldn't help but wonder why he stuck around.
no subject
"I like being good to you," he said, nuzzling into Nyx's neck for a moment before giving him his space.
no subject
"Sometimes I think you're too good to me. I don't deserve it," Nyx said quietly.
no subject
Hex lifted up enough to look at him.
He looked...baffled.
"Love isn't a deserve sort of thing, Nyx," he told him.
no subject
"Everything is earned," Nyx replied. "It has to be balanced, or it all falls apart."
no subject
Hex was silent for a long moment, his eyes inquisitive and thoughtful.
Abruptly, he lunged in and licked Nyx, jaw to cheekbone. He might not think Nyx needed to do anything, but the wolf was aware.
Aware enough to make him lick Nyx and then look utterly shocked at his own behaviour.
no subject
Nyx also looked shocked.
"Um..."
no subject
Hex blinked a few times and seemed to come back to his senses.
"I...think we're balanced," he said, reaching up to wipe Nyx's cheek dry.
"Normally when that happens, I come round with blood on me..." he admitted quietly. "It really loves you, yeah? The wolf? I can tell."
no subject
Nyx offered a soft smile, then sat up to kiss Hex properly.
no subject
Hex smiled before melting into it, gently falling to the bed and kissing Nyx deeply.
no subject
"I wish I wasn't so tired," Nyx complained between kisses.
no subject
"You're tired because you're healing," Hex told him. "It takes a toll on you. Snuggle up, we can have a rest."
no subject
"I don't want to rest," Nyx huffed, though he did move to curl up with Hex a little.
no subject
"You might not want to, but I do," Hex told him, trying to hide his grin against his shoulder.
no subject
Nyx huffed again, but only seemed to get more comfortable, yawning a little as he settled in.
"I guess I could have a nap."
no subject
"Just a little one," Hex agreed.
The curry was out sitting on the mat, but Hex had forgotten. The wolf was content to hold Nyx close and doze.
