Chapter 11 Care Package

It is just past 8pm when Leo returns from the set, wincing with every other step and fighting the urge to hold his breath as he makes his way to the elevator once the doors close he lets his head fall back and sighs. "I wonder how Zayn is going to respond to this..." he had injured himself once on one of the bands early tours, spraining the same ankle, and Jason wqs pissed. Leo was was beginning to think that this particular ankle might be defective somehow... it has been with him through countless dances and yet fails him today while just walking to his trailer to grab a sports drink from his fridge.

Walking through the hallway towards their rooms he found himself pausing at the turn that would take him to his room. He had to take a moment, and sort out his mind. He grabbed his wallet from his bag and pulled out the keycard Zayn had left for him. He presses it to his nose, the faint smell of Zayn's cologne lingered on the plastic card and he smiled as he limped on towards the room it would open.

He did his best to enter the room quietly, making sure to open and close the door slowly, removing his sandals at the door. He immediately noticed that the room was colder than how Zayn had it last time he was here. One of the lamps is on in the room and as he approaches he finds Zayn stirring in the bed, shirtless. Leo's heart starts to race as Zayn sits up, the sheets and blankets falling to his waste as he yawns and rubs his eyes. "Aren't you cold?" Leo asks as he leans a little on a near by wall.

Zayn blushes and looks down at himself looking entirely too adorable for a grown man. "Yes…" His eyes are pleading. "You were so warm last night… So I thought you would be enough tonight."

Leo drops his head and pinches his nose. "Zaynie… you keep saying stuff like that…"

Zayn's smile is still a bit sleepy, but flirtatious. "I'll break your resolve and you won't hold back?"

Leo groans. "I'm going to eat something… before coming to bed." As he steps towards the mini fridge to get the food he knew Zayn got for him earlier, he heard Zayn's quiet gasp and the sheets rustling as he climbed out of bed, wearing a pair of black pajama pants.

"You're limping. Sit down." Zayn forces Leo to sit down on the bed. He brought the turkey wrap and gatorade out of the fridge and handed it to Leo before sitting down next to him. "What happened?"

Leo rolls his eyes as the blush of embarrassment fills his cheeks. "Nothing. I tripped on the set today. It's just a minor sprain. As long as I take it easy it should be back to normal in a day or so."

Zayn isn't even aware of how cold his own body feels, too distracted by Leo's discomfort. "Does it hurt now that you aren't standing on it?"

Leo shrugs and swallows his most resent bite. "Only a little."

"Have you taken any painkillers?" Zayn asks and Leo nods. "Okay. When you're finished eating I have some instant ice packs and compression bandages. It's not too late, we can watch a show or something while we ice it and eleva—" Leo dropped the the wrap on the bed and pulled Zayn into a kiss.

When Leo pulled away he was smiling. "Thank you."

Zayn's brows knit. "You're welcome?"

Leo chuckles. "I don't really know how to explain it properly… I — like the way it feels to be taken care of by you… it makes me want to take care of you in return…"

Zayn's confused expression melts to something tender. "I see." He kisses Leo's cheek. "Are you very tired?"

"Mmm not really..." He gently pushes Zayn back on to the bed the uninjured giggles.

"Slow down. Slow down." Zayn laughs as he tries to push Leo off him, failing miserably as Leo sprinkles little kisses across his collarbone. "You need to eat and we need to finish taking care of your ankle!"

Leo raises his head and looks enamored. "Okay. But once I'm all taken care of, I'm going to return the favor." He sits back up, grabs the wrap and begins scarfing it down while Zayn stares at the ceiling for a moment, excited and nervous about what kind of care he was going to receive.

While Leo finishes his meal Zayn grabs the items needed to care for his boyfriend's injury and when he returns he finds Leo already in the bed, unsure if he is wearing anything under the covers. "So… first I'll put the compression bandages on… I need your foot…" Leo smiles and slides his foot out the side of the bed and gently places is on top of the blankets, revealing that he is definitely not wearing underwear this time. Zayn blushes and swallows at the sight of Leo's bare leg all the way up to his exposed hip. He sits on the bed and gently lifts Leo's leg, cringing when he sees Leo wince, leans down and kisses the inside of the ankle. Leo lightly gasps at the soft touch and Zayn smiles. Zayn speaks softly as he begins wrapping the injured joint. "Didn't any of your past boyfriends care for you?"

Leo huffs a laugh. "In high school, I never gave them a chance to..." Memories of Jason's anger and rejections when he had sprained his ankle before flash in his mind. "The last time this happened he was just mad and refused to touch me until I was completely healed and could dance again… Like I was a broken ladder for his climb to fame…"

Zayn finished wrapping Leo's ankle, kissed it again (deeply enjoying the response from Leo), rests the foot on a pillow and wraps the icepack in a bowl before placing it on his patient's ankle. "There. Lets ice it for at least fifteen minutes. Do you have any preferences on what you would like to watch?"

Leo smirks after swallowing some of the sports drink and sets in the night stand as he speaks flirtatiously. "You."

Zayn, "Pfft." He grabs the remote from the side table and starts clicking through the channels until he lands on a channel playing reruns of Inuyasha. He turns back to Leo with a grin. "I have stumbled upon gold."

Leo groans. "Seriously. So cheesy!"

Zayn smirks as he Rawls on to the bed. "Just give it a chance."

At first they sat beside each other, but seeing how cold Zayn was from being shirtless, Leo slowly brought an arm around him and encouraged Zayn to lean in and snuggle on his chest. When the first commercial break started Zayn looked up. "See, it's good, even if it's—" Leo brought his lips to Zayn's, unable to resist the adorably innocent look on his face. Leo pulls away from the kiss, but keeps their noses touching. "I don't care what we watch, as long as you're with me."

Zayn presses himself up to reach Leo's lips. When the show returns from commercials Zayn has made his way on Leo's lap, over the covers. Leo's hands grip Zayn's hips as he grinds on top of him. Leo's words are groans as Zayn kisses and nips at his neck and clavicle. "Zaynie— let me take care of you." At the finish of his statement he managed to flip Zayn on to his back and was now on top of him, kissing his way down his neck and chest.

Zayn's mind goes hazy at first. When Leo's lips and tongue roach his belly button he nearly snaps up into a seated position again and almost yells. "Elevation!"

Leo looks up and curls his fingers into Zayn's pants while smirking. "Yes, that's what I'm going to take care of, your elevation." He starts to pull Zayn's pants down.As the cool air from the room reaches Zayn's groin and Leo's almost unnatural body heat radiated from his chest Zayn lost focus again and his head falls back with a breathy "ah." As Leo grips his firm need Zayn covers his face with one of his arms and bites his lip before speaking in a strained tone. "Elev—ah— ate your foot."

Leo stops his hand movements and smiles up at Zayn, waiting until he looks back at him. He bent at the knee to raise his injured ankle, smiling. "… even now… you're still trying to take care of me… Would you just let me…" He kisses the top before dragging his tongue from base to apex and taking a few inches into his mouth.

Zayn's mind is racing along with his heart. He's touched himself, Leo's touched him, but this is new; this is warm and wet and overwhelming. He doesn't even realize he's been moaning and panting since the first drag of Leo's tongue and the more he bobs his mouth around him the more noise spills out of him. "Leo— ah— I'm going to— you should— pull away—hah! Ah— ah—" His hips start to instinctually buck. Leo hums with his mouth full, swirling and gliding his tongue wherever he can, and as Zayn releases into his mouth he smiles a little before he almost chokes and pulls away.

"I told you!" Zayn covers his face again, with both of his arms this time. Leo smiles softly as he pulls Zayn's arms away and waits from him to see him swallow and lick his lips. "Yummy."

Zayn's entire face is red with embarrassment as Leo scoots up next to him and plants a kiss on his lips. "You… what about you?"

Leo jokingly groans. "I just blew you and you're still concerned about me?! What I have to do to get you to be selfish?"

Zayn scowls. "There's nothing you can do to make me forget about wanting to take care of you…" He leans over for a kiss and glides a hand down until he reaches Leo and begins to kiss him harder, and be kissed fiercer, as his hand pumps Leo the way he did before. "Is this right? You like it like this?" He manages to ask between kisses.

Leo only nods before Pulling Zayn into more passionate kisses until he can no longer focus on lips and has to rest his head back. "You're a fast learner." He almost laughs as he fights back moans and closes his eyes.

Zayn smirks before leaning down and kissing Leo's tip. His continues to pump with his hand while swirling his tongue around the tip until Leo begins to spill into his mouth in somewhat violent ribbons. As Zayn wipes some of Leo off of his cheek and lick it off his fingers he smiles, humored. "You taste good too…"

Leos eyes are half lidded and dazed as he speaks breathlessly. "Come here and kiss me."
