[maybe it's silly to worry, they're both fine for the most part, but after everything that had happened before this . . . well, he doesn't want to take any chances.
baby's right, though. with his face bandaged up, it wouldn't look too good, and people might ask questions that they don't even have answers for themselves. he lets himself relax marginally, his head leaning forward so he can rest their foreheads together; it feels better like this, at least, and he is relieved that they're together.
how do you know? is what he wants to say, except he recognizes the teasing and can't help smiling faintly in return.] No, you're right. Everything will be fine. [and yes, he's thinking it, but as long as they have each other, he feels a little more secured.
he blinks lightly when baby takes hold of his face, his shoulders slumping even further, the faintest nod following that.] Okay. That's probably for the best, anyway.
[the kiss is reassuring as well and he wastes no time kissing him back, gentle and slow and careful.]
