Loopy Love

by NB_Fandom_Freak

Summary:

Marc got his wisdom teeth out and now he's high off anesthesia. Luckily, his boyfriend is very helpful.

Notes:

• For korkandtaro.

Me and korkandtaro did a collab (kinda) where we wrote the same oneshot idea ; Go check hers out!!

"M...c? Ma...rc? Maaaarc?..."

Marc slowly awoke to his boyfriend's voice, staring at the dentist ceiling. Followed by Nathaniel coming into view.

"nathh...?" Marc mumbled, his voice coming out all muffled and lisped.

The ravenette was slowly sat up, Nathaniel holding his hand. His eyes wouldn't focus on anything correctly, but he was okay... mostly.

"Okay, my love...stand up, but careful now, we don't want you falling.." Nathaniel spoke, gently holding his boyfriend's hands as he helped him stand. He was so very worried about his well-being... Marc had never had surgery of any form, so he had no idea how he'd react, especially when he was waking up after being under anesthesia.

Marc was okay, and then he wasn't, because he collapsed so hard that Nathaniel could barely catch him in time.

"Oookay!... You can't stand or walk...lovely..." The redhead sighed, holding Marc upright, before lifting him into his arms bridal style. "...I don't wanna deal with getting you in a wheelchair, so this is what we're doing now, I suppose."

As Nathaniel was driving them home, he kept looking over to the passenger seat, where Marc was staring off into space, the bloody gauze sticking out of his mouth on both sides.

"...Marc, honey? You okay?" Nathaniel asked.

"Mhmph!" Marc replied, "...sky looks p'etty..."

The redhead chuckled, "The sky looks pretty?"

"Mhm! P'etty!"

The pair sat there in silence for a while. Well, Nathaniel did. Marc was chatting his ear off, in his gibberish-like words.

"Now, darling, if you'd like, I can stop and get you a smoothie, or we can get to our apartment and have something at home." Nathaniel spoke. The black-haired boy practically lit up and quickly nodded.

Nathaniel laughed and gave a simple 'okay' nod. Apparently, Marc really wanted a smoothie. And Nathaniel was happy to oblige.

"...your 'da best boyf'end...I 'ove you..."

"I love you too, darling" Nathaniel smiled. He was just getting him a smoothie, wasn't necessarily a 'best boyfriend ever' thing, but he didn't want to upset Marc. And so, he just said 'I love you' back, as he always would.

Eventually, after a whole lot of traffic, because apparently everyone decided to leave their house at this time, Marc got his well-deserved smoothie. He wanted strawberry, but unfortunately they were out, and so raspberry would do. ...He was still sad about it though.

"So, how's the smoothie, was it worth the traffic?" Nathaniel asked, as he drove them home.

"...st'waberry woulda' been betta'..."

Nathaniel sighed, "I know, darling, I know; I'll get you a strawberry smoothie at some other time, okay?"

"...okay" Marc spoke, just sitting there in the passenger seat, sadly sipping his smoothie.

Once Marc and Nathaniel arrived to their apartment complex, Nathaniel carefully scooped Marc up into his arms bridal style and walked to the elevator and went up to their floor. Once they got to their apartment, it took a bit of fiddling, given he was holding a whole human, but he got the code in and walked into the apartment.

The redhead gently sat his boyfriend down on the couch, his smoothie still in hand.

"You stay there, okay? I'm going to... go get you an ice pack and medicine." Nathaniel spoke, before going to acquire the painkillers and ice pack.

However...he was interrupted by a loud yelp from Marc, to which he immediately turned around, to be greeted by a smoothie-covered Marc. ...Apparently, he went to stand up, wanting to be with his boyfriend, and spilt the remainder of his smoothie all over himself.

"Oh..honey..." Nathaniel spoke, quickly walking over to help his boyfriend. Marc was on the verge of tears.

"...j-just wan'ed to be wif' you..."

"No...no, no, don't cry, honey..." The artist consoled. The ravenette was so upset; He wasn't even upset about the smoothie though...he was upset because he had embarrassed himself in front of his boyfriend.

"It's okay...it's okay... let's get you cleaned up, okay?" Nathaniel said gently, holding Marc's hands. Marc just nodded.

It took, say, 20 to 30 minutes to get the smoothie completely cleaned off of Marc, and get him changed into new clothes. Mainly because Nathaniel wanted to go ahead and get Marc in pajamas, and Marc wanted day clothes, but Nathaniel managed. And after all that was over, it led to them being curled up together on the couch, after Nath had gotten the smoothie cleaned off the floor.

"love'y...? I'm so'wy..." The writer spoke, clinging to the other.

"It's okay...no need to apologize..."

The two sat in silence, before Marc yawned, wincing slightly.

"Tired, love?" Nathaniel asked. Marc nodded.

"mhmph..."

"Go to sleep, love..."

"mhm...I 'ove you..."

"I love you too, darling..."

The two sat there for a while, until they both fell into a deep sleep, intertwined together.
