Home at last
Hero swung open the door lazily, they were instantly greeted by the smell of their partner's cooking embracing their surroundings.
"Home at last." The hero exasperated as they stumbled into the kitchen.
Hero leaned against the kitchen counter and watched as villain carefully chopped a few vegetables into precise slices. Villain was quite skilled with a knife, due to their occupation of choice.
"Welcome home dear!" Villain chimed with concentration, not taking their eyes off of the tomato in front of them. Hero glanced over toward the stovetop and noticed the frying pan quietly sizzling beside villain.
"What's this?" Inquired the hero excitedly, despite already knowing the answer. The villain looked up at Hero with a smile as they slid the tomato slices to the side using the knife.
"I'm making burgers!" Villain grinned, gesturing towards the frying pan. It's contents were 4 medium sized patties.
"Ah how wonderful!" Hero exclaimed, attempting to take a step forward before wincing in pain. Immediately, Hero fell back into their original spot.
Villain's eyes widened as they lowered the heat on the stovetop and hastily made their way to Hero. "Goodness me, what happened?" Asked villain as they kneeled down to inspect the hero's leg.
Hero and Villain shared a fairly small apartment with one another, two bedrooms and one bathroom. With a touch of eachother's personalities it created for quite the cozy atmosphere. Pillows were featured in every corner of the home, allowing for either one to collapse safely just about anywhere.
"I'm fine, it's just a.." Hero looked down at their leg with a puzzled expression. "Actually I'm not quite sure." Mumbled the hero sheepishly. Their uniform covered their entire body quite well, and Hero hadn't really put any thought into checking out the injury.
The villain carefully rolled up Hero's tights to their knee, carefully studying the hero's calf. "Well, there are certainly bruises." Villain mumbled before looking back up at the hero.
"I think it's a sprain. I'm not sure though. How does it feel when you walk?" the villain inquired, meeting eyes with the hero.
"Uhm.. It hurts I guess." Hero shrugged, not knowing how else to explain it. It was a good thing that the hero wasn't a healer, for they had never paid attention in health class when they were younger.
"I'm going to assume it's a sprain then." Villain sighed before returning the hero's suit to how it was and rising to their feet. "I'll go get you an ice pack, stay put so I can help you to the couch." Announced the villain as they turned to open the freezer door.
"No, no, I can walk there myself. Please don't burden yourself with my own troubles." Hero replied, using the countertops as a support as they attempted to exit the kitchen.
Villain turned around and gently placed a calloused hand on Hero's shoulder. "It would be no burden, my love. I just want to see you happy and healthy." Expressed the villain, watching as the worry in Hero's face morphed into a sense of reassurance.
Villain ushered Hero to the couch with care in each step, making sure not to hurt the hero any more. As Hero slowly allowed themselves to fall into the cushions, Villain pulled up the footrest for them.
"I'll finish dinner and grab that ice for you, you need to rest." Villain whispered as they carefully planted a soft kiss on their partner's cheek. Hero looked at the villain with loving eyes and a warm smile.
"I appreciate you." Hero declared as Villain stepped away from them.
"Anything for you." The villain replied, looking at the hero as they started towards the kitchen.
Shortly after this, the villain returned with an ice pack and a spare blanket. The care that the hero's former nemesis was now giving them melted the hero's heart. They felt so safe and cared for, which wasn't a feeling the hero was very used to. It was refreshing, and a beautiful feeling to finally be able to feel.
As soon as the villain finished cooking and constructing the burgers, they stepped out of the kitchen with two plates. One plate was in each hand, and Villain was managing it quite well. The villain was always proud of their balance, and the hero always admired it.
"Are you feeling any better?" Asked the villain with a warm smile. Villain slid a plate onto the hero's lap and gingerly took a seat beside them.
"You always make me feel better." Hero hummed with a goofy grin as they rested their head on their partner's shoulder.
"Of course I do." The villain teased as they allowed their own head to sit on top of the hero's.
The pair proceeded to spend the rest of the night surfing the TV channels for any sort of news that didn't seem to involve either of them. In the end they finally decided to settle for an old action movie that brought back nostalgia for each of them.
It was a pleasant night.
