Ayce blinked, then nodded. "Oh. Alright." He replied with a tiny smile. "Let's go." He hesitantly took Nolan's hand, lacing their fingers together.
The Only One // One on One // CLOSED
Nolan gripped his hand tightly. He led him down to where they were serving breakfast. He git them both something small and set their food down in a corner woth Ayce next to him
Ayce followed him quietly, sitting down near him and chewing on his lip a little. "We need to check my…my wounds…" He said softly, glancing at Nolan, then down at the ground.
Nolan looked down at him. "What's wrong? Did you reopen a wound?" He asked worridly
He shrugged a little. "One of them hurts." He replied softly, looking down at his hands.
"Eat your breakfast and then I'll take care of it." Nolan said, looking down at him
"Okay." He replied, and picked up a fork, eating a little bit. He wasn't very hungry, but…he forced himself to eat a bit.
Nolan smiled, encouraging him to eat more. "That's it. Good boy." When they were finished, he disposed of theor plates. "Come on. Lets go to a bathroom and take care of it." He offered a hand
Ayce took his hand, biting his lip a little as they walked. His hair hung into his face a little, and he closed his eyes for a moment.
Nolan led him to the nearest bathroom and locked the door. He picked Ayce up amd set him on the counter. "Where does it hurt darling?" He asked
"Uhm…my left arm and shoulder." Ayce replied, gesturing to that side of his body with his opposite hand.
Nolan nodded. He gently lifted the shirt over his head and took a look at Ayce's arm and shoulder
The long wound had torn open, blood leaking out of it a little. It wasn't terrible, but it was easy to see that each movement Ayce made would have aggravated the wound.
Nolan grabbed a bandage out of his bag and wrapped the wound up after cleaning it out. "There, all better." He kissed Ayce's cheek. "Try not to move your arm around too much."
Ayce nodded. "Okay. Thank you." He replied softly, leaning his forehead against Nolan's shoulder with a soft sigh.
Nolan smiled. He kissed his head softly. "You're welcome darling. Are you ready to head on our?""
Ayce put an arm around Nolan, closing his eyes. "I…guess so." He replied softly, standing up.
Nolan nodded. He circled his arm around Ayce, holding him close. "Alright darling. Do you want your own horse or do you want to ride with me?"
Ayce opened his eyes, looking up at Nolan. "I don't know…" He replied slowly. "Can I…can I stay with you?" He asked.
Nolan smiled at him. "Of course you can." He said. "May I kiss you darling?"
Ayce nodded. "You don't have to ask every time…" He said softly, arms still around Nolan.
Nolan smiled. "Okay darling." He bent his head and kissed him softly.
Ayce kissed him back, closing his eyes as his lips met Nolan's. He curled his arms tighter around the other male.
Nolan placed his hands on Ayce's hips. He started to deepen the kiss.
Ayce inhaled quickly, tipping his head a little. Can't it just stay like this? I don't want to go back I don't want to I just want to stay here like this. That would be perfect…
Nolan slowly pulled away though je didn't want to end the kiss. "Come on darling. We should get going before it gets too late."
Ayce nodded, opening his eyes and looking up at Nolan. "Okay…" he replied slowly, dropping his arms reluctantly.
Nolan took his hand and led him oitside to the stables. He purchased a horse for them and got it ready for their trip. "Ready darling?"
Ayce held his hand, and nodded. "Yeah." He replied, eyes wandering over the horse carefully.
Nolan helped Ayce on to the horse before mounting it. He gripped the reins and kicked the horse into a walk. "Hold on darling, I don't want you to fall."
