Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Uh...Yeah," Riley quickly agreed,"Cold. Enough on me...how are you feeling?" He frowned and lightly leaned against Dom. He wanted to put his hand on Dom's shoulder but that would flash off his hand immediately. He also wanted to say he was worried but he didn't want to sound...so...weak. Instead he just said nothing.

Riley immediately looked horrified and pulled away his hand. "I'm sorry," He blurted and shook his head,"I'm so sorry. I just was worried and I guess...I guess I went overboared on the clean house bit..." He blushed and sighed. "I really am."

Riley sighed and hugged him back. When he pulled away he quickly showed Dom his hands, elbows, and knees which were caked in blood from rubbing against the floor as hard as he could possibly do so for an hour straight. Then he just sighed again and rested against Dom. He was glad that Dom hadn't gotten angry at him and that he hadn't done anything while he was out. He just wished he would have trusted Dom more. Why hadn't he? God he felt so stupid!

Riley gasped in suprise when he was pulled off the bed and dragged into the bathroom. He didn't even have time to register what Dom had said to him before he had pulled out the disinfectant. "It's really not that bad," he protested, but didn't didn't move from where he now sat on the tiled floor,"It looks worse than it really is."

He winced as sharp waves of pain shot up his arm. "That wouldn't be pleasant," he murmured through a slightly clenched jaw. However he couldn't help but smile when Dom kissed him. He didn't think he would ever get used to that. Still...he didn't understand why Dom cared so much. "Here I'll help," he added and grabbed a pad of his own. Then he clenched his jaw and rubbed it against his knee.

"Yeah," Riley murmured, his shoulders hunched slightly,"To bed." He slowly slid down from the counter and yawned. He had definately burned away his energy. He kissed Dom lightly and waited for him to leave so he could follow him out to bed. That way he could be certain if Dom wanted him to sleep in his own bed or not.

Riley grabbed a pare of sweats and pulled off his jeans. Sharp waves of pain shot up his legs as the material rubbed against his knees. It even hurt his hands just to apply any sort of pressure against anything. Then he slid into the sweats, ignored the urge to cut holes in the knees so it wouldn't be sticking to his skin like it was, and then went out to lay down next to Dom. He kissed Dom's cheek and then reached over so he could grab his covers from the floor where they had fallen when Dom had dragged him into the bathroom.
