12 Jaded Jealousy

Dandy had rolled down the window, his arm on the car door as he drove.

"Huh? The list?" Dandy glanced over at JP when they were at a red light. "I thought you had it?" He asked, lowering his sunglasses. "Didn't ya, like, rewrite it or whatever in that chicken scratch?" He raised his glasses back up his nose as the light turned green. Dandy kept his eyes on the road, thinking a bit on the list.

Lube. Condoms. And... clothes...

"I think we needed clothes? OH! And a pillow for ya," Dandy remembered. "And that's all I know, baby."

"Its not chicken scratch. It's a proper written language." JP insisted, "What do you write in then?" He looked and poked around in the car to turn on the radio and find a decent radio station. "- and a blanket! You know something soft? A nice change to the leather I wear all the time."

He bounced his right leg as Dandy drove. He wasn't aware of it and he wasn't thinking about how he was biting his lip. "So.....will we fuck in the car sometime? We have to."

"I write in space common," Dandy explained. "I sign in it too. I got a couple other things I can write in, but it sure the hell doesn't look like your language," he commented. While JP mentioned the other things on the list, Dandy nodded. Different clothes was a must. He needed to replace his date night shirt. It was probably best to get a different outfit. Wearing the same thing he wore with Scarlet was a bit awkward, looking back...

When JP mentioned the idea of having sex in the car, Dandy nearly slammed on the brakes. Thankfully, they were at another stop before they reached their destination. Dandy looked over at JP.

"Oh, you know that's why I got this one~" Dandy grinned, thumbing at the back. It was nice and roomy, perfect for two people. He then gripped the steering wheel. "Those asshole sales people shoulda put 'car is a no bone zone' in the fine print!" Dandy laughed and then put his foot on the gas again, driving ahead and then pulled into the parking lot.

It was a basic store, nothing too flashy. It seemed that there were a lot of cars and people in the lot. When Dandy drove up, he looked for a spot to park.

"I wonder if the press is gonna be here," Dandy asked. He kept his eyes out. "I look fine as hell and I wanna make sure they get a picture.."

JP was going to say something but he closed his mouth. "Ok so Space Common. I don't...I just write Gastonian and in Jaicro and that's it." He would have to learn Space Common if he was going to live with Dandy and join races in other galaxies. He felt his back come off the backrest when Dandy hit the brakes. He looked into the mirror on his side to see that there was no one behind them. "Whoa hey, don't do that! I don't want to get rear ended again so soon."

"You really think the press is going to be at a store like this? Pssh." JP climbed out of the car once Dandy found a spot. "Lets get our stuff and if you want something tell me. I'll get you something nice too." He joined Dandy so they could walk together but secretly he still kind of thought about the owner of the rental place.

"Yeah, good point," Dandy agreed and walked over to JP, making sure he was out of the car alright. With Dandy, he wasn't really thinking of anything until he looked back at their rental.

"Man those people were real piece of work, eh?" Dandy shoved his hands into his pockets as the doors slid open. He could see aisles in the distance, the lights inside almost blinding. Dandy stepped in, already trying to remember the list again. "What kinda couple wears matching outfits like that anyways? Mobster stripes? Get outta here," he sighed as he grabbed a cart and started to push it.

"Yea...the outfit look nice.." He tried not to think about Frisbee and how he always wore business suits. Something he had grown accustomed to seeing and feeling. "The pinstripes..." The mobster look.

Once inside the shop he looked up at the signs to try and figure out where to go first. "We should probably over there. We can get some first aid stuff so stuff up my nose."

Dandy thought about how JP talked about the couple, complimenting their outfits. There was a shot of jealously hit him without even realizing it.

He had to snap out of it once he heard JP mention getting first aid supplies.

"Yeah that's right," Dandy said with a sigh. "I guess we need to what, get cotton balls or somethin'?" Not very hot, he thought to himself, but whatever helped with the blood. He leaned his arms on the car's handlebar, pushing it as he leaned over it.

"So... you really liked those outfits, huh?" he looked aloof as he spoke, keeping an eye on the signs as well. Then, the found the section and walked down the aisle.

"Maybe there's something else i can do besides shove cotton up my nose. We should ask the counter and maybe they can sell us a bunch of condoms there too. Like you know enough to not come back? For a while."

"I did." JP admitted, "Frisbee always wore those kinds of clothes. Silk scarves. Neck ties. Sometimes he had a vest. He had nice watches and real neat shoes. I guess I saw them so much that I got used to them." He looked up to where he was going instead of the floor. He picked out some more toothpaste since it'd be a good idea to just grab another tube instead of depending on his travel one. He picked up some cotton balls and then went to the counter where they recommended some vaseline or saline gel to keep his nose from drying out. If not, then a humidifier. He looked at Dandy and then asked to get the gel since it seemed more like it was meant for the purpose of shoving up his nose.

He asked about some condoms too. But like a bunch of them. Not just like 6 and then felt a little embarrassed when they were asked for their sizes.

While JP spoke, Dandy heard that name and what he wore.

Frisbee. Wearing those fancy-ass clothes and nice shoes. Dandy started to picture a man that looked fantastic, wearing some of the best outfits money could buy. Then, he started to think. If Frisbee was a mechanic then why the hell did he wear such nice clothes? Just to flaunt?

Dandy was now too deep in his thoughts as JP grabbed the supplies. When JP asked him about the gel, Dandy didn't respond. He was looking off in the distance, not really at anything. As JP continued to talk to the person at the counter, Dandy walked off from the cart, his attention turned to the clothing section of the store.

"Psst. Dandy. Hey. What's your size? You need some too....hm.." Dandy was too far and distracted. "Uh we wear the same size? Look just give me the whole thing of those." JP pointed at one of the larger sizes which he had personally used in the past and had felt comfortable. He placed the box into the cart and waved a good bye and picked up two bottles of lube as well. Just incase one was misplaced. He pushed the cart in the direction Dandy had headed with a bit of trouble but he managed. "Dandy! I got the stuff. We still need the pillow and the blanket..so can you take care of the cart while I find something?"

Dandy was looking at the clothes, trying to find something nice. Dress pants? A buttoned up shirt?

"God this store doesn't have shit," he swore under his breath. Then, he heard JP's voice and looked back. Dandy walked over to the cart, seeing the condoms and the lube. His eyes then went back up to JP. "Sure thing," he walked behind the cart, taking it off JP's hands. He was pretty quiet, his thought still clouded with jealousy.

Was JP's first time really with some rich prick? A freakin' mobster? So he's got good clothes and apparently has money. The only thing Dandy didn't have was the money aspect. And maybe the rich clothes.

"I'll follow you around the store," Dandy sighed, looking back at the clothing racks. There was nothing flashy there. No nice suits. Sure the hell no pinstripes. "Hey, where did your ex get his clothes from?" Dandy asked, his arms resting on the cart again. "It was a fancier place like this, I bet."

"Heh. I think this is a basics kind of store" He went down a aisle of bedding and picked up a nice soft pillow. He put it in the cart along with a pillow case. He touched some throw blankets and picked out a teal one. "Hmm? He used to go to a store named Abitto. There was another called Pilveke too." JP shrugged and looked into the cart. They had nearly everything but he still needed underwear and some shirts. but the shirts were easy, it was simply some muscle shirts for lounging and tees to wear under his jacket. "Help me get some black shirts. Only black ones. So i can wash them together."

Dandy was quiet, watching JP tossing everything into the cart. His eyes went back and forth like a pendulum as JP spoke. Dandy had never heard of those stores. They sounded so high-end. Definitely not a place he could afford, even after a good hunt. Boo.

"Oh sure yeah. Black works," he then started to drive the cart towards the clothing section again. Then, he spoke up again.

"What colors did he wear? Like, did they look good on him or somethin'?" Dandy asked. The thoughts of this man started to flood his mind. Did he have a better taste in fashion? Or in colors? There was no way that mechanic was going to win best-dressed while Space Dandy was banging his ex. He felt himself getting even more heated at the thoughts.

Once they were at the clothing section, Dandy's eyes scanned the racks. Something. Anything. Dandy had to out-dress Frisbee. He still had no idea what he looked like, but god he knew he needed to look so damn good.

"He wore all sorts of colors..." JP didn't know if they looked good but, "not all the colors looked good against his skin color, I have to admit. But maybe he liked them?" He rubbed the back of his neck.

When they were at the clothes racks, JP took some shirts and tossed them into the cart. He also took some black socks and boxerbriefs. He seemed to really love black but it made sense if he was around cars and grease. The stains wouldn't be noticeable. "I think we have everything don't we? Its not like they sell the type of pants I wear here, so I light have to lounge

in a shirt and underwear around the ship."

Dandy was squinting, looking at the clothes on the rack. Thumbing through them, JP asked if they had everything they needed. The alien hunter pulled a shirt off clothing carousel. It was a white buttoned-up shirt, plain and simple. He felt his heart sank. There was no way this would even compare to the suits they saw today. Defeated, he put the shirt back on the rack.

"Yeah, yeah I'm ready," Dandy pouted, practically dragging his heels as he grabbed the cart. As he drove it out of the aisle, Dandy looked at JP. Was Dandy really his type? He could rock a suit, but the one he had wasn't the kind that probably interest JP.

"So, like," Dandy stopped the cart, rubbing his thumb along the plastic grip. He looked away, seeing down one of the main aisle that lead outside. Then, he looked to JP. "If I got a suit like his, would you like me more or?" He could feel a tugging at his heart. "I mean I'll wear whatever you want!" Dandy squeaked. This man was a people pleaser and he really wanted to please JP. He had to find out what JP wanted in order for him to feel better than his boyfriend's ex. "If you want me to wear a suit, I'll go get one, baby! If you want me to dress just like that cars guy then I'll totally do that too!"

Please just don't leave me, Dandy thought. His eyes stayed on JP. Please don't go.

"Hmm?" JP kept walking beside Dandy, "I already like you silly." He responded with a smile. He really liked Dandy and he especially liked the bounty hunter when he was undressed. However he noticed the uncertainty in Dandy's voice when he kept asking. He stopped walking. "Hey, you don't have to dress like them for me to like you. Yes my ex dressed in expensive clothes but...its not the same. I like you more. Its not about the clothes. B-besides.....the suits remind me of my ex and i rather not think about him you know?"

He frowned, "I want to forget about him and its tough you know? Things still make me think about him but I'm gettin better." He smiled again, "and I'd hate to think of him while I'm fuckin' with you, Dandy."

Dandy's jealousy subsided when JP spoke to him, letting him know how he truly felt about those suits. They would trigger thoughts about Frisbee. He looked down at the cart, feeling stupid for assuming that JP loved those outfits.

He felt ashamed. Of course JP liked him. Why did Dandy show this desperate side in front of JP? And in a store, none the less!

"Yeah please don't think about him durin' that," Dandy said with a little awkward laugh. This man was insecure too, but for his own reasons. The boys were right about Dandy getting jealous over a man he thought was cooler than him. He then continued to walk. "What do ya think about when you're doin' it with me?" Dandy found his grin again. "When I'm doin' it with you, I'm thinkin' about how cute your ass is~" He teased, giving JP's ass a little smack.

He laughed at the smack and looked around to see if anyone was around, "Come on its obvious" JP looked down as he walked, mostly in thought. "I think about how good you make me feel. You know also how you breathe and make those sounds..." His face started getting red. "I think about your chest rising and falling and knowing that it's me making you feel that way." He moved his hands up to flip up his jacket's collar but then remembered that he was wearing Dandy's.

Dandy was in awe as JP spoke. He didn't expect a serious answer and when he got one, he felt a tugging at his heart. This boy was really called Sweet JP for a reason and this.

This was really selling it. That red face, the way his hand moved and fidgeted.

"That's... that's what I think of too." Dandy smiled warmly. He moved his hand to JP, pulling him over by the arm. Dandy looked around, seeing no one looking at them, and leaned his cheek against JP's. His soft sideburns, rubbed against the racer's cheek.

"You are so damn cute," he whispered, his head resting against JP's. "Don't ever change, soda pop." Dandy then moved his hand to JP's back, giving it a little rub. "And once you start walkin' around my ship half naked, ya better not stop doin' that either!" He grinned, pinching JP's ass. "Let's get goin'! I wanna try out what we got at some point tonight!" Dandy beamed.

This man's libido was horrifying. As a man that ran on, just, horny energy: it was going to be a challenge for most to keep up. Judging by how JP was talking, it seemed like they really were a perfect match.

Both fueled with the desire to bang. It was too perfect.

"Thanks and I won't change. I don't plan to at least." JP never really thought about being sweet. It just sort of happened. He didn't even really know what he did that was sweet. He liked the nickname but at the same time thought it was stupid. Kind of how he thought soda pop was stupid but also cute. He smacked Dandy's hand away from his ass, "Yo. They're going to see you doing that!" He laughed.

"You know I'll stop if it gets too cold-" He smirked, "I'll have to cover up to keep warm. I'm used to being all nice n toasty be it in my leathers or in my ride." He walked a little faster, a little better than that first time they met.

"Cold? On my ship?" Dandy shook his head. "Never. I usually walk around in my boxerbriefs around the place. My baby always feels amazing," they finally made it to the checkout. Dandy glanced over, seeing the magazine rack.

"Ooh! Hey JP, look at this!" He grabbed one of the covers, showing it off to JP. Dandy read off the title.

"Reckless Racer kisses a the man from beyond the Stars," he actually felt his heart flutter a bit. And the picture?

The picture was beautiful. JP was holding Dandy in his arms, giving him that dipped-kiss. Dandy grabbed four copies of the same magazine, nearly buying them out.

"I didn't ask for a damn thing so I want all of these," Dandy explained. He then looked at the candy set on display. He grabbed a pack of gum, a little tin container of mints and then a bottle of coffee from the cooler. "And these too," he said as he set them in the cart. "Please."

JP turned to look at what Dandy was talking about. He looked closer to see that the image had come out better than he had hoped. "and the title is great too. Look at that Mr.Man Beyond The Stars." JP took a soda bottle without thinking and then laughed, " Its going to be like this always from now on isn't it?" He set it on the pay counter along with some of the things he was buying. Dandy could place the rest.

"Sure you can get those thing but are you sure you don't want all those coffees?" He pointed at the rest that were in the cooler. They could just store them in the fridge in Dandy's ship.

Dandy blinked and looked back at the cooler. He looked at his single coffee and then at JP.

"Why would I want all of them? I just wanted this one," he lightly shook it, showing off the bottle to JP. Dandy placed his things on the pay counter as well, the black belt littered with clothes, condoms and whatever else JP grabbed. He pulled the cart ahead, handing it off to the woman checking out the items.

Then, the clever spaceman spoke up to the cashier, flashing a big grin as he rested his hand on the bag carousel.

"Ya know, I got another thing you can check out, baby~" he grinned, giving her a little wink. The woman looked at him and then moved the carousel around, making Dandy topple over and nearly fall on the floor. "Hey! It's a joke!" He whined. The woman started bagging up the purchases, and then looked at the magazine. She noticed the amount of them and then looked up at JP.

"You look much hotter in person," the woman smiled at the racer. Dandy shot her a look, glaring.

"You should see him in bed. He's way hotter in there too," Dandy gave her a big grin, mocking her. The woman looked disgusted with Dandy and continued to check out the items.

JP shook his head. He thought that Dandy might have taken the hint but it seemed like that had been lost. "Nevermind." He moved over to stand and watch as the lady scanned things. He hated when Dandy did that. The...hitting on people in front of him. But karma was quickly delivered. When he was complimented on his looks he bowed his head, "Thank you. You're very kind."

His face ran a little pale when Dandy crudely remarked about their private time together. "Don't listen to him. I'm sorry." He shot a similar glare at Dandy. "He's got things to put in the cart, doesn't he?" He bumped his fist to pay and signed with the stylus.

Dandy puckered up his lips at JP, making a silly scrunched up face at the racer.

"Yeah , yeah," he sighed and grabbed the bags. Dandy watched JP pay for the items and then started his way towards the exit. He was quiet and then spoke up. "You know I was only teasing, right?" Dandy said, looking over at JP. "You know, the whole bed thing?"

He rubbed the back of his neck as he steered the cart towards the car.

"I mean you are hot during that, but like," Dandy stopped at the trunk and pushed the button on the back. "I was just firing back at that lady. She saw the magazine. She knows that we're dating."

JP apologized again to the cashier and then left with Dandy. "I was embarrassed. That and she didn't need to hear that. She knows we kissed, its in the news." He chuckled, "and she knows we are fucking. I bought five boxes of condoms, Dandy. Come on, five." He looked into one of the bags to pull out his soda bottle and climbed into the car. There he opened up his drink with his belt buckle and wet his mouth. "Refreshing."

Dandy giggled at that, a big smile on his face. He sat down in the drivers seat, buckled in like JP, and drove out of the parking lot.

"So you really went and got five boxes," he opened his coffee bottle with his hands as he drove. "Do ya plan to use all five boxes within two weeks or?" Dandy took a sip and then placed it in the cup holder. "If so, I'd be down for that challenge. But we gotta change it up. Like, we can't bang in the same room twice, ya got it?"

Dandy continued to drive, not really sure where to go. Should they go back to the ship? He did have a surprise for JP there once they got back.

When Dandy whispered to QT a couple hours earlier, he was giving the little robot a request. Dandy had hoped that the robot didn't forget this simple thing. This one little task.

"Maybe I don't want to come to the store that often? I thought it was a good a idea." He took a swig of his soda and nearly spit it out when Dandy pretty much suggested they fuck six times a day. "DANDY, MY ASS CAN ONLY TAKE SO MUCH."

Dandy was laughing hysterically at the red light. He was nearly in tears as he gripped the wheel. Placing his hand on JP's shoulder, he looked over at the racer. Dandy's face was red from blushing and smiling so much.

"Who said you would be the one takin' it," Dandy said from the corner of his mouth and then let out another howl of laughter, slapping the wheel with this hand. He then heard a honk behind him, telling him to drive on. Dandy fanned himself, gasping for air as he made a right. He started to drive them towards the junkyard.

JP sunk in his seat. "I just assumed...." He closed his eyes, "Okay look! I- I don't know why I said that!" God he wanted to open the car door and just roll out. But he would rather not do that and he placed his hand over Dandys and pushed his off his shoulder. Instead he held that hand and squeezed it. "What do you want to eat later?"

They were approaching the Aloha 'Oe, the yellow ship in their sites. Dandy felt that hand holding his. He lifted it up, giving it a little kiss without looking away from the road.

"Eat?" Dandy puckered his lips as he thought. "You know... I never thought about that!" He gave JP a little cute shrug.

He pulled the car in right next to the broken-down Little Aloha and got out. Stuffing the key card into his pocket, Dandy walked over to JP's side of the car and opened the door for him.

"I got some more ramen on the ship," Dandy commented, his arm resting on the door just as before. He saw the lift down for them, a little smile on his face. "Ramen and beer. A perfect night."

As JP got out of the car. He used both his hands to pull himself out. He took his crutch and looked towards the trunk. "Don't forget the stuff in there." He pointed with his bottle.

"I only thought about it because we already have drinks." He thought about the noodles they had eaten from those cups and smiled. "That does sound nice. I'm in." He started walking toward the lift. "What does Meow eat? He's like a cat right? Cat food?"

Once the lift was down he stepped onto it and went to the center but he stopped and lifted up his left leg to hold it. "FUCK" he let go of it and quickly sat down to hold his leg out. Then he laid on his side. He didn't scream but his face said it all. It hurt like a bitch.

Dandy was grabbing the stuff out of the trunk when he heard the shout. His eyes when wide as he saw JP move to the ground. The alien hunter nearly dropped the things he had bought on to the ground and ran as fast as he could to the lift.

"What happened??" Dandy dropped to his knees and looked JP over. This wasn't good and it wasn't part of his plan. He looked around and then looked up. Dandy could see the light shining down from the inside of the ship. He didn't want to lift the platform up just yet. There was still so much stuff he had to bring on board.

Then, he noticed the leg JP was holding. The injured one.

"Hold on! Lemme find something!" Dandy was a bit panicked as he ran towards the junkpile next to the ship.

JP didn't know why it hurt just that it did. "Sometime it just start to hurt like a bitch and I don't know why." He shook his head and let out an exasperated yell. "- and i don't know how long it'll hurt for! Sometimes it goes away quick and other times it feels like it lasts forever!" He saw Dandy leaving his field of vision and he held up an arm, "Wait where are you going!?"

Dandy was climbing on the pile of junk, sifting through it and looking for something, anything that he could use. Then, he found it.

Sliding down the mountain for thrown out scrap, Dandy tumbled a bit on his feet. Which was dangerous for sure, especially with what he hand in his hands.

"Stay down," Dandy ordered as he came closer. Once he was in view, JP would see a rusty, shape, sheet of metal. One side of it was jagged like a saw blade, but it clearly looked like it had been part of some sort of vehicle at one point.

JP tried rubbing his leg through the cast with no avail and Dandy had left him there. On the floor! He held on alright.

When Dandy came back, he saw the piece of metal and he saw the rust. His eyes widedned and as he spoke his voice cracked, "Dandy wait! What is that!? What are you going to do?" He sat up and started scooting back.

"Stay still! I can't have ya movin' around!" Dandy stepped onto the platform, his boots clanking on the metal. "It's some sharp chunk of metal, what else does it look like?" He squatted down, showing off the sheet to JP.

"I need a use it on you, that leg-thing is causin' you so much pain," he looked JP in the eyes. Dandy couldn't think of the words at the moment. All he was thinking about was how miserable JP was probably feeling in that moment. All that pain. All the suffering.

"Hahaha, as if?" JP instinctively moved his legs together. Somehow he was afraid that the blade would slice his dick and balls right off, "Be careful with that thing!" He held out a hand as if it would stop the alien hunter, "Wait my leg!? No no , I need it! Please, Don't cut off my leg!!" He screamed in a high pitch, "DAAAAAAANDYYYYYYYY, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

Dandy moved to JP's left leg, despite his boyfriend's screaming and sat on his thigh.

"You gotta! Quit movin! If ya wanna keep your leg!!" Dandy said through his teeth. He moved his left hand to steady JP's leg. "I need ta cut your damn cast off! It's not suppose ta hurt you like this!" Why did they even send JP out with casts on? What were those people thinking! If they weren't going to take them off JP then Dandy would.

JP struggled a bit but with him thinking his left arm as also hurt, he wasn't able to struggle as much as he would like "They said my leg still needed a long time to heal!!" He looked up at the opening in the Aloha 'Oe's belly. "Meow! QT! HEEEEELP!!" He flailed about at least until he had to catch his breath. When he felt the vibration and pressure of the metal on his cast JP felt his balls try to pull up hard to retreat and he shuddered.

"Just calm down!" Dandy snapped and continued to slowly cut the cast. "They can't hear you anyways. They should be in the lobby of the ship..." he gritted his teeth, watching the metal cut through the cast.

"They can give you an new one but right now: this one needs ta come off," Dandy was surprisingly careful with the cutting, a little bit of sweat from stress dripped down his brow.

It took about ten minutes, but he did it.

Dandy got off JP's leg and moved his hand to the cast. Slowly, he pried the case off and revealed the leg. He sat back, finally taking a breath after holding his for so long. Then, Dandy spoke up.

"I panicked."

JP frowned and looked away from Dandy. He rested both his hands over his crotch. All he could do was lay there on the metal of the lift and wait for Dandy to get off of his leg. He felt the cast being pried off and then all of a sudden he felt lighter and free.

"You panicked? Huh, I wonder what I felt!" He sat up and looked at his leg when he was allowed to. It looked...fine. He ran his hand over it and then looked up at Dandy. "How did you know it wasn't broken..?" He moved his ankle. It felt sore. Sore from being unable to move it for so long.

"You'd been in the hospital for weeks, right?" He asked as he tossed the metal off the lift. "I assumed it was fine," he watched JP move his ankle, a soft smile on his face. Dandy then got to his feet and looked back at the car.

"Keep moving that ankle," Dandy said as he walked over to JP. He placed a kiss on the side of his partner's head and then continued his path over to the car. "I'll grab the stuff from the trunk. It looks like you're not the only one gettin' a surprise tonight," Dandy hinted.

Dandy grabbed the plastic bags, holding onto the little loops and carried all of the supplies in one go. It wasn't easy, but he wasn't one for making multiple trips.

Stepping back onto the platform, he hit the button on his wrist communicator and let the lift rise back up into the Aloha 'Oe.

"A surprise? What are you talkin' about?" JP stayed sitting and then looked at his arm in that cast. If his leg was fine when his arm would be too wouldn't it? He poked his finger into the top of the cast and then through the bottom. He crawled over to the edge of the lift and picked up the metal piece once more and started to try and cut that cast off as well.

He stopped when Dandy came back but he was keeping that metal piece with him until he got through the cast.

Dandy saw JP with the metal piece and squatted down next to him.

"Here, let me help," he said softly. Dandy steadied JP's left arm, giving them a chance to cut. The left was finally back in its resting place, giving the men better lighting an less of a scent of fumes from the junk that dominated the world below.

"The boys are gonna think we had the docs take these off of you," Dandy commented, seeing the cuts making it through with ease. His eyes then focused on JP's. "Probably for the best for them to assume that."

"Yea you're right. We don't need QT to worry. I mean you heard him when he saw the blood. I thought he was going to explode or something." JP wriggled his fingers and once the cast was off, he turned and twisted his forearm. GOD it felt so good to use those muscles again. "Whoa i can finally move again. If you hadn't pinned me down and started cutting then who knows how long I would have been in those casts." He glanced around and slowly got onto his feet. He was a little lopsided due to the sole on his boot but soon enough he'd have his other boot on and he'd be as right as rain.

Dandy moved to keep JP steady, a big smile on his face.

"I knew that if I didn't, you'd probably either gotten cut or, ya know, wouldn't let me do it at all," he leaned over, picking up JP's crutch. "You'll still need this," Dandy commented and then picked the bags back up. He lead JP out of the lift room, keeping an eye on him as they headed towards the hallway.

Dandy moved out of the way as they stood in the long hall, his eyes on the door that lead into the lobby.

"Hey. Before we go in there," he looked back to JP. "I want you to know that. I love you," Dandy's face looked soft as he said those words. Those eyes were dreamy, full of love as he kept his focus on JP.

"I don't know if I could have fought off an alien hunter. I mean I just drive. You? You probably wrestle all kinds of stuff." JP laughed a little. Truth be told he didn't really like to fight. He might instigate things by talking back but he never intended to get into fist fights. He would only throw punches back in self defense.

"Right." JP took the crutch to use as he had been at least for now to keep his foot off the floor. He stopped when Dandy did and he knew the man was going to say something. It was the look in Dandy's brown eyes and the way they just had a brightness in them. He lowered his voice to a hush and stepped in closer to Dandy. "I love you too Dandy." He hugged Dandy and squeezed him. "A lot."
