Prompts by @icannotreadcursive @thepromptfoundry
“Dear Mother
I am sorry for not writing to you for such a long period of time, It was not my intention but I had a run in with some bad men who took me as their captive wishing to use my abilities as a witch to make them some quick money. Do not worry I am alright now, I was rescued and offered a home by my rescuer and his brother, a pair of princes.
They are very very strange but sincerely kind to me I believe I will be safe and happy here and wish to happily lend them my services; they really need it.
I do so hope you will come and visit as soon as you are able
Your Loving Daughter Rosalie”

OCs: Len and Jake
Len was shuffling through his mail as he stepped off the elevator. He paused when he found one with Jake’s full name on the label. It caused his lips to curl up at the corners. It was just a simple letter, but it made him wonder what it would be like to see Jake's mail shuffled in among his all the time. He felt giddy at the thought as he pulled his keys out of his pocket to unlock and open the door. That feeling vanished as soon as Len stepped past the door. He stopped at the sight of Jake’s clothes trailing towards the bedroom. The large frosted doors were halfway open, but it wasn’t that that had him quickly rushing for the room. The sight of blood smeared on the wall had his anxiety spiking and his draconic features becoming visible.
“Jake!”
“In the bathroom. I’m fine.” His voice was muffled and stuffy.
“There is blood!” He covered his nose. How did he miss it on his way into the penthouse? “What happened?” He made it through the door and found more clothes. The tee shirt with security across the back was ripped along the shoulder.
“It’s mostly from my nose. It stopped at the hospital but started up again on the way up here. Couldn’t stop the sneeze in time.”
That would explain the lack of blood smell till he had gotten closer to the bathroom. “Hospital!?”
“I’m fine.”
Len entered the bathroom only to freeze at the sight of Jake standing in only his underwear. Jake was standing over the bathroom sink, pinching his nose. His blonde hair was messy and matted. One of his eyes was almost swollen closed, but he could see the way blue-green eyes were watching him. His lip was split, and fair skin along his torso was mottled with quickly bruising skin. What made his anger burn hotter was the bruising around the front of his throat.
“What happened?” The rumble was deep in his chest.
Jake motioned to his body with a bandaged hand and wrist. “This?” When Len caught sight of it, Jake quickly dropped his hand. He gave a grin only to wince when his lip split open again. “It only looks bad. The doctor looked me over and gave me something for the pain and swelling.”
Len reached past Jake to turn on the water, letting it wash away the drops of blood in the sink. “Who hurt you?” His skin itched to go find out who did this to Jake.
“It's taken care of. They’re in police custody and can’t hurt anyone else.”
“But you got hurt.” Len reached out to brush his olive-brown fingers over Jake’s bruised forehead. “What about this?”
“No concussion. Everything is okay. I even brought a copy of the doctor’s notes if you want to take a look.” Jake pulled his hand from his nose, and when nothing started dripping again, he grinned. “See, I’ll be alright.”
Len cupped the back of his neck to pull him in close enough to press a kiss to his forehead. He gave his neck a gentle squeeze, causing Jake to shiver and press back into his hand. “What can I do to help?”
“I just want to soak in the bath or watch a movie until the medicine knocks me out.”
“How about soaking in the tub?”
“You just don’t want me to get dirt on the bed.”
“Maybe.”
Jake reached up to cup Len’s face so he could rub his thumbs over the freckles of deep green scales along his high cheekbones. He let his thumbs tuck under the lobes of pointed ears. His fingers dug into the shorter strands of Len’s dark brown hair to give a gentle scratch. “I absolutely love you, and I hate to break it to you. You’ve tracked more dirt into that bed than me.”
Len gave a grumble as he tipped his head into Jake’s scratching fingers, his narrow green brown eyes closing.
“Lies.” Len gently pulled Jake’s hands away from his head. “What about this?” He gently touched Jake’s injured wrist.
“A sprain.” Jake gave Len a grin. “I get two weeks of paid time off from my job. The boss called to let me know.”
Len dipped his head to bump his forehead against Jake’s gently. “I’ll get the water started.”
Jake gave a careful smile, trying not to pull on the cut on his lip. “Soak with me. Just in case I fall asleep.”
“Okay.”
Len watched as Jake undressed the rest of the way while he turned the water on to fill the large tub. He grabbed some epsin salt and poured some into the water. Glancing over his shoulder, he watched as Jake slowly made his way across the bathroom toward him. “Are you sure you’ll be fine?”
“Yes, just sore. I’ve been off worse.”
At the worried look Len shot him, Jake waved his hand in a way that felt like he was trying to brush off the worry. “Long before I met you. You saw where I was when we met. I went through worse beatings.” Jake tossed his arms over Len’s shoulders. Len, without any hesitation, grabbed onto Jake’s waist. “I wasn’t in a good place then.”
Jake slowly pulled Len’s shirt off to toss on the floor, and Len frowned at the mess of clothes. “I should go pick those up.”
“Later. Please.”
Len’s green eyes focused back on Jake. “Okay.” Jake smiled and slowly unbuttoned Len's pants. Len stood up from where he was sitting on the side of the large tub. His fingers tucked under Jake’s chin, and he lifted his head up so he could press a gentle kiss to Jake’s lips. Jake let out a shaky breath. “Get in the tub and relax, I’ll get in after I get undressed.”
Licking his lips, Jake winced and muttered as he pressed his fingers to the cut. He nodded as he turned to the tub, and slowly, he stripped his underwear off. His body protested the movement as Jake climbed into the tub. A low sigh slipped out of him as he sank into the water. Leaning his head back against the ledge of the tub while his injured hand rested on the cool ledge, he watched as Len puttered around the bathroom. Turning his gaze, he found himself looking out the large windows behind the tub. The city stretched out towards the mountains in the distance, the sun’s rays slowly sinking behind the mountains. Had he been in the ER that long? He frowned and let out a bone deep sigh.
Len’s fingers were gentle when he touched his shoulder. Jake looked up as Len asked. “Have you taken the medicine?”
“No. It’s on the counter in the bag. Should also be cream in there for the bruising.”
“I’ll help with the cream after you get out of the tub.”
“Okay.”
Len headed for the counter, and Jake watched as he walked away. His pants were gone, leaving him in his underwear that hugged him in just the right places. “You should just take your underwear off. It’s just us.”
The raised brow tossed in his direction had him answering with his own grin. Len was lean and tall. Jake wanted to touch every inch of him every day. The pills and a cup of water appeared in front of him, and Jake had to focus on that, or he would drop them. Jake set the cup of water on a shelf above the tub after swallowing his pills. Len caught his chin, turning his head to look at him. When Len went to smooth something over the cut on his lip, Jake tried to recoil from the smell. “What is that?”
“Family ointment for cuts.”
“It smells awful.”
Once Len was done, he added, “Tastes just as bad.”
Jake grumbled as he started to lean back when Len finally pulled off the last of his clothes. Len placed his hand on Jake’s shoulder to stop him from moving as he climbed in to settle behind him. Leaning back against Len, Jake sighed and let out a hum. “How long does it need to stay on?”
“Thirty minutes.”
Len ran a wet hand over Jake’s arm as Jake tipped his head against Len’s shoulder. “Fine.” He looked back out the window. “It still amazes me that you’re not used to me getting hurt from fights.”
Tipping his head back so Len could look at him. “I don’t like seeing you hurt. Besides, I’m annoyed someone thought they could put bruises on you.”
When Jake hummed and then let a grin appear, “Is that why you didn’t like me fighting in the Alley? You could barely keep your hands off me after every fight. Then again, that quickie against the lockers is still my favorite memory.” Len made a little growl as he gently shoved his head forward, causing Jake to snicker.
“Brat.”
Jake stretched his legs out and winced at a sore muscle twinge. Len gave a grumpy grumble, causing Jake to reach up to smooth a hand over his hair. “My grumbly dragon.” The coo had Len huffing and then biting down on the ball of his shoulder. Jake laughed as he leaned into Len further.
A sigh left Jake as Len rubbed a hand over one of the many bruises he had. His eyes slowly drooped as Len slowly just ran his fingers over him. Len bumped his nose against Jake’s ear. “Stay awake a little longer. We still need to take care of your bruises.”
Jake sighed and reached up to rub at his eyes. He let out a yawn as Len reached for a wash rag. Grabbing the cup of water, he poured the rest on the rag and tipped Jake’s head back. He slowly cleaned the ointment off Jake’s lip. Len pressed a kiss to the side of his forehead as sleepy eyes blinked up at him. Len smiled as each blink slowly became longer and longer.
At one point, Jake blinked, and Len went from being in the tub to standing outside the tub with the water almost gone. “Come on. Let’s dry you off.”
“Shit, they really gave me the good stuff.” The slur of his words had Len chuckling as he helped him out of the tub. He balanced Jake against his side as he grabbed a towel. Jake made a sound of protest as he forced himself to stand while Len started drying him off using the towel. Once he was done, he let out a surprised squawk as Len scooped him up. The shock woke him up enough to grab at Len as he carried him into the bedroom. Jake yawned as he was placed on the bed. He shuffled up on the bed to flop his head on the pillow so he could let the exhaustion hit him. It was as Jake was almost asleep that he felt the bed dip more than normal. An amused huff left him as clawed hands gently lifted him so he could lean against Len’s scaled side.
Cracking open an eye, he looked at the earthy green and brown dragon watching him. In this form, his horns looked more like branches curving out of his long, narrow skull. Sleepy eyes blinked up at Len. “pretty.”
Len huffed and nudged Jake’s leg with his large snout. Fingers rubbed over the patch of dark brown fur that lined the backs of Len’s forelegs. The long tail flopped closer to Jake so Len could rest his head on his tail. A low rumble started in Len’s chest as Jake pressed his forehead against the back of Len’s foreleg. “Love you,” Jack muttered into Len’s side as his eyes drifted shut. The pills finally pulled him under, and he let out a sigh.
