starter for @nctafraid ( carlos ) from tk !

they’re newly weds, honeymoon officially over, and vacation from work set to finally be ending soon. they have forty-eight hours until their respectful shifts, and tk never thought he could be happier to be back in their apartment. mostly because, as much as he loved to get out and see the world, he’d started feeling a little homesick. he’d already reconnected with his dad, owen having brought lou two home, but tk’s social meter was fried. he’d had enough social interaction to last a life time and the only thing he wanted to do now was spend the day in bed. his bed that he missed so much—the hotel bed was nice, but tk had missed the familiarity of his own.
well. that had been the plan at least…until carlos had come in, trying to get him out of it.
that simply wouldn’t do.
“ babyyy, ” tk whined, voice partially muffled from his pillow. “ can you please just let me sleep the day away ? ” he couldn’t even blame the exhaustion on jet-lag since they’d never even technically changed timezones, but after being on the go for a week, tk wanted to spend his last bit of free time doing absolutely nothing.
scenario starter for @nctafraid !
scenario: [ carlos accidentally gives tk a black eye, broken nose, or split lip. ]

the skin is tender to the touch and red, but it won’t be long before purple starts to bloom beneath the skin. it wouldn’t be the first time—tk is pretty sure that if getting hurt was an olympic sport, he’d have won several gold medals by now. but no amount of being used to being accident prone made said accidents hurt any less.
it still wouldn’t stop tk from putting on a brave face though—albeit bruised.
“ baby, i told you, it’s fine, ” tk repeated for what felt like the umpteenth time. “ i’ve had black eyes before. it doesn’t mean i have a concussion. who’s the paramedic here, huh ? ”
