Alex was still having trouble speaking. Having his throat stepped on had done some nasty damage, and the doctors informed him he was very lucky to have survived.
He hadn't seen Luka since he was admitted, and that might actually have been worse than his injuries. It had been a couple of days, and he was starting to wonder if his boyfriend was only coming by when he was asleep.

Luka had hoped to slip into the room quietly, but when he found Alex sitting up and awake the greenette made a choked noise of surprise and instantly rushed over to the bed. "You're awake." Luka sighed as he sat on the edge of the bed. He wanted to hug Alex. To kiss him, run his hands through the bluenette's hair. But the younger boy looked like s**t, and Luka was honestly afraid to even touch him.

Seeing Luka so relieved swept all of Alex's worries away. Of course he was here, and given the amount of time Alex had been sleeping, it wasn't that much of a surprise that they had missed each other. He lifted up his hand to slide it into Luka's, a smile on his face. "Yeah, I'm awake. Sorry for scaring you."

"No... You're fine. Don't apologize for that." Luka's fingers twitched when Alex moved, and he let out a slow breathe as he wrapped his fingers around Alex's. "Should you be sitting up? Should you even be talking?"

Alex squeezed Luka's hand gently. "I've gotta start talking again eventually," he pointed out. His voice was definitely scratchy, and his throat still hurt, but ******** that, Luka was finally here. "I'm fine, I promise, I'll get better."

"Yeah but.. What if you make something worse?" It wasn't exactly that Luka was calling Alex danger or accident prone but... Lately the smaller boy had been coming home with all manner of cuts and bruises. And this time, coming home to find Alex passed out in their living room only hit the nail on the head for Luka.

"I won't," Alex insisted. "The doctors have made sure I'm as okay as possible. It's just time, now." And no more picking fights as Kerberos, particularly not with people that much stronger than him. "I'm talking, not doing parkour."

Luka just sighed and ran his free hand through his bangs. There was no arguing with Alex. "Just... don't over do it alright? They may have made sure you're okay but that doesn't mean something can't happen..."

Alex gave Luka a half-smile. "I won't. I'm confined to bedrest anyway, at least for another week or so." Ideally he would power up and try to make it go faster, but that wasn't viable given that he spent a lot of time asleep and generally, if he was awake, there was someone there.

"Hmm... but we both know you don't like staying in one place to long." Alex was almost always moving about the apartment. Not to mention the bluenette's almost constant boredom if he couldn't do anything.

"I'm gonna have to, I have a laundry list of hurts that we're not gonna talk too much about because I don't want you to worry." Alex said, and then he ruined it by coughing. "I love you, you know that?"
He tried to say it as much as he could, because he was well aware of what Luka thought he was doing when he was out as Kerberos. Perhaps naively, he hoped that the more he said it, the more he showed it, the less Luka would think he was cheating.

"Little late for that isn't it?" Alex had been coming home with bruises and all manner of injuries for weeks now. There where times where he'd come staggering through the door, barely able to walk, and sleep all through the next day. Other's, Luka didn't notice anything. "I know..." He mumbled, running his hands through his hair, the odd bang that hung in his face was pushed back over and over again.

Alex sighed heavily, and then started coughing violently, and a sheepish smile appeared on his face. "Yeah, I guess the 'don't worry about me' ship has sort of sailed, hasn't it?" He leaned back into the pillows on his bed, a slight frown on his face. "I'm not cheating on you." He said, his voice soft. It was the first time he'd denied it out loud. "I know you think I am, and -- I don't blame you for thinking that way, but I'm...I'm not, I wouldn't do that to you."

Luka just made a tired noise of agreement as he nodded listlessly, letting his hair fall back into place. He seemed to stare off into space for a moment before Alex's words dragged him back. "Huh? Oh.. Oh.. I know Alex. Don't even worry about that alright??? It's... It's fine."

Alex exhaled heavily and set off another coughing fit, but still squeezed Luka's hand. "Too late," he said, between coughs, "I'm worrying." Especially since that was the least convincing brush-off possible. But maybe he shouldn't work so hard to deny it - even if it hurt, it was enough of a cover that Luka wasn't asking questions.
Of course the most direct route, he supposed, would be to ask Avalon to corrupt Luka so that he could tell him the Whole Truth and Nothing But the Truth - but the idea of his boyfriend being in danger, especially the kind that had landed him in a hospital bed, was too much.
