Leon looked at Quinn as he heard him, nodding his head as he heard him. He blinked as he felt the hands on his face and he kissed him back. "I don't plan on dying tonight. I'm going to live to see this proposal." He replied as he watched Quinn step away. Any hurting he felt before was swept away by the fact that Quinn came out and saved him. When he was his hero. He heard the brick in the distance and the whistles as the three that were close to them raced off that way. He wrapped an arm around Quinn's neck as he was scooped up and curled close to his partner. He heard the whistles fading as they ran towards the stadium.​

This was perhaps not the best way to propose to someone. The whole chickening out when it was obvious what he was doing and then freaking out really badly and then running away and then angering the prospective significant other and then having to be bullied by a teenager to go after angered significant other and then have to save him from scars who shot him in the leg. As far as proposals went, this had to be the worst one. If Leon still married him after this, Quinn knew for sure that he found the perfect person. He ran as fast as he could away from the area, and finally they couldn’t hear the whistles anymore. “I’m so sorry,” he whispered as he ran to the gate. “I am so so sorry.” It was dark now, and he was lucky that they managed to get back before too much darkness overtook the world. When they got there, he told everyone that they needed to get to the medical tents. People moved out of his way for that. Finally they reached the medical tenets. “Okay, who is available to deal with an arrow to the leg?”​

Leon curled into Quinn as he ran with them, and sure this may have been a very.. eventful afternoon and weirdest proposal. He heard the whispered words and looked up, kissing Quinn's jaw gently. "It's okay." He whispered as he looked at the stadium as they drew closer to it. Once they got there and into the medical tents, Leon was getting so tired. Rita was there, the moment they had become a group, she worked under Jacob to learn everything she possibly could. In ten years she became a very good medic and she moved over to the table. "Set him down on the table." She said as she looked at her son and his partner.​

It was really not great when you had to bring your partner to his mother to be patched up from your own mistake. Quinn was at that table as soon as he could be. He gently laid Leon down, and he crouched down beside him, making sure that he was on the opposite side of the one Rita would need to work on that arrow. He gripped Leon’s hands. “I should have waited. I should have just talked to you. I should have gone back to the room with you. This is my fault.” He would continue to blame himself no matter what Leon told him. He hoped that Leon would blame him too like he deserved. ​

Leon felt the cool table under his back as he hissed at the motion. He looked at his mother who sighed and grabbed rags and packing before she looked at the two of them. “I don’t want to know what happened. But Quinn, you need to keep his attention on you. When I take this out, it’s going to hurt.” Rita said. Leon squeezed Quinn’s hands as he heard his words. “No. It’s not your fault. I shouldn’t have run off with how close scars have been getting.” He said as he looked at his mom. He heard her words and squeezed Quinn’s hands hard. Rita grabbed the arrow and fortunately it wasn’t as deep as it could’ve been. She grabbed the arrow in one hand and placed the other on his leg and sighed. “On the count of three. One.. two.. three..” and she pulled it out. Leon screamed in pain as she quickly packed the wound to stem the bleeding.​

Quinn looked over at what Rita was doing and tried not to stress about what she was going to need to do. He held his breath as Leon spoke. He leaned forward, and he held those hands as tight as he could while Leon screamed in pain. That hurt him too just hearing it. “Hey hey hey, baby, look at me.” He held both hands in one and placed a hand on his cheek. “Focus on me. Breathe and focus on me. Because I’ve got this plan, and it’s not follow after Luke and do this in his bedroom after we talked about it extensively during a patrol. I think we talked more than we patrolled. So listen to this plan. I need to know what you think. I’m going to have to get you that ring I don’t have yet, because I was too scared to even look. Did you know that? That’s what this was really about. I’ve never been afraid like I am with you. Isn’t that stupid? I guess that’s what happens when you love someone like I love you.”​

Tears streamed down his face like waterfalls as he sniffled. His gaze turned to Quinn, hearing him, feeling the hand on his cheek. He breathed in and out, rapid short breaths at first then more slower, even ones after that. Rita began sewing the wound shut after she cleaned it. His gaze never left Quinn as he let out a breathless chuckle. “You talked more than you p- patrolled? That d- doesn’t surprise me.” He managed to get out before he paused. “You were s- scared?” Leon asked as Rita continued to sew his wound up. That was a strange concept to him. He’d never seen Quinn scared before. Not like this. “I- I think that’s a good pl- plan. I love y- you too.” Leon said as Rita finished up and looked at Quinn. “It’ll be easier to carry him to your room. He really shouldn’t walk on this for a day or two.” She said, kissing Leon’s forehead. “I’ll leave you two alone.” She said as she walked off towards her office.​

“Yeah, I was so scared. Didn’t you see that? I couldn’t even say anything.” He occasionally looked over at Rita to check her progress. When she left, he nodded to her and leaned in even closer to Leon. He always felt weird being all over Leon when his mother was around. “But I’m not scared anymore. Mostly sorry. That was so stupid of me. I was so worried that I messed everything else. But I’m going to make it better.” He kissed his forehead. “Hold on tight. One more journey.” He wrapped his arms underneath him and picked him up again. At least there was no one to have to watch out for this time. He started walking out and into the main building to get them to their room. “Remind me to find Lilac later. Okay. She’s the one who told me where to look for you.”​

Leon shook his head as he looked at Quinn. “No. I was too busy being confused and mildly hurt. I’m sorry for making everything worse. I shouldn’t have pushed you into trying to talk to me.” He said softly. “It’s okay. I’m glad you aren’t scared anymore. And I forgive you my love.” He added softly as he nodded, feeling Quinn pick him up again. He wrapped an arm around Quinn’s neck and curled into his chest. As they moved, he heard his partner’s words. “I will. Let me guess, she threatened you as well as helped you know where to look for me?” Leon asked as he rested his head on his chest. “Because that certainly sounds like my cousin to me. She can be very scary.” He admitted with a soft chuckle. He’d been on the receiving end of her threats more than once in his lifetime.​

Quinn may have earned Leon’s forgiveness, though it still required earning. He had to save Leon’s life because of what he did. There was nothing that Leon could say to make him feel any differently. “Oh yes. She whipped that out like it was nothing. She is the scariest person I have ever met, and I have met scars who want to slice me open and watch my entrails become outrails.” He moved them to the stairs and started up them. It was late enough now that there were less people around to want to ask them questions. “She convinced me to go find you, because I was still wandering aimlessly in the scared stupor I have unceremoniously been in since we decided to do this.”​

Leon looked up at Quinn and chuckled softly. “She can be terrifying, I feel sorry for whoever falls in love with her.” He said with a smile. “Outrails? That’s not a word silly goose.” Leon added as he yawned, his eyes half open. “I’m not surprised she convinced you. She can be very convincing when she wants to be, especially when family is involved.” He said with a soft smile on his face. Another yawn slipped free as he felt his eyes closing. He was exhausted. “I’m also glad she convinced you. I didn’t know how I was going to make it back to the stadium in one piece if I’d been by myself, so thank you for being my hero and saving me from there.”​

Quinn laughed with him. “I can make up words all I want. Who’s going to stop me? Your sleepy self?” He shook his head as they made it to the floor and down the hall. He made his way quickly but still carefully. “You absolutely will not. And that’s okay too.” He finally made it to their room which he pushed open after skillfully unlocking it. He stepped inside and closed it behind them. He gently placed Leon down on the bed. “How about we sleep some of this off? And then tomorrow, I am going to go tell Jerry that they’re going to be down a man, because I am not leaving your side. Well, except to grab our food. We’ll be hungry otherwise.”​

Leon arched an eyebrow as he heard that and laughed softly. “Yes. I’m going to stop you from making up silly words.” He replied, as they made it to the hall. Leon smiled as he saw their door and the moment he felt the bed under his body, he sighed softly. “That sounds like a wonderful idea. And wait, you’re going to not patrol? But you have to.” He said as he looked at Quinn with a concerned expression. “You can’t stop doing what you do because I’m injured. Though, I’d appreciate bringing me food. That I’ll agree on.” He said with a soft sigh. Somehow he knew that no matter what he said, Quinn wasn’t going to leave his side and he was surprisingly okay with that.​

Quinn shook his head. “There are plenty of other people who can walk out there and shoot some scars. They don’t need me like you need me.” He crawled onto the bed beside Leon and wrapped his arms around him. “So, why don’t you close those eyes and stop trying to get me to go away. We already did that once today. It got you shot in the leg if you recall.” He snuggled around Leon, careful not to touch the leg and thought about what exactly he could do as a grand enough gesture to prove that this meant more to him than anything else.​

Leon didn’t agree on that but there wasn’t much he could do about it. He sighed and nodded as he felt those arms wrap around him. “Okay. Okay. You win.” He said before he curled as close as he could possibly get. “I don’t want you to go away.” He murmured softly as he felt Quinn snuggle around him. “I want you with me. Always. I love you Quinn.” Leon’s voice was whisper soft but they were so close, he could bet that Quinn heard him anyway. He closed his eyes and yawned again as he slowly began to drift. His mind went silent, his breathing slowed and he fell fast asleep in his partner’s arms.​

Quinn smiled even though Leon couldn’t see it. After everything that happened, Leon still loved him. That was all that mattered. He didn’t think that he could make that happen with how poorly everything had gone. It really did suck honestly. Like… a lot. He was going to make it right. He was going to make everything right. “I love you, Leon. Remember that in your dreams.” He held onto Leon for a little while longer, thinking about the day and everything that went wrong. It haunted him that he could make his love feel that way. Finally he too fell fast asleep, though he was up early in the morning. He slipped from the bed to do some mild tidying up around the room. He was a bit of a mess sometimes. He would have gone to grab Leon breakfast, but he was afraid that Leon would wake up while he was gone.​

Those words were prevalent through his dreams, and he slept peacefully. He had peaceful dreams, no nightmares plagued him. He didn’t move when Quinn left the bed, didn’t wake up. He shifted a little but what woke him up was when he rolled. He rolled to the side and laid on his wound. He gasped in pain as he quickly rolled away from it, laying flat on his back. A whistle cut through his memory as his eyes flew open, panting softly. The memory of being pierced with an arrow, of being trapped by a patrol of scars, all while still hurting emotionally from earlier that way, flew into his mind. He pushed himself to sit up, looking around with fearful eyes, tears slipping down his cheeks. “Quinn?” His voice was ragged as he bit his lip, looking for his partner though his vision was blurry from the tears so he couldn’t see him well.​

Quinn was actually doing the dishes he was avoiding before when he heard Leon move. He spun around, afraid from how desperate and miserable he sounded. He ran across the room and back to the bed where he was right there with Leon. “Hey hey, are you okay? I’m right here. Sorry, I was trying to clean up a little bit. I know that you won’t be able to so, I thought I would get a head start on the thing I will hate doing.” He placed his hands on either side of Leon’s face and smiled like everything was okay. That was because it was going to be okay. “I guess your leg hurts?” That was the worst. It was going to be terrible for days. He hated that. He wished that he could do more to help.​

Leon blinked back the tears as he looked up at Quinn, sniffling a little bit. He listened to him and took in the comforting tone of his voice. He felt the hands on either side of his face and nodded a little. “I’m okay. I just.. I rolled onto my wound. And all the memories of last night came popping up.” He admitted as he looked at Quinn. “My leg burns and hurts. Can.. can you grab some breakfast for me? I’m kind of hungry and you did say you’d make sure I don’t starve.” Leon said as his tone turned teasing near the end of his words. His smile started to grow as he slipped his arms around Quinn’s neck to hold him gently. He’d move when his partner moved though.​

Quinn pressed himself against Leon as he insisted on a morning hug. He was feeling kind of needy given what happened. “Well, you shouldn’t do that.” He kissed his cheek and his forehead and then his other cheek. “Give me a couple of minutes and I’ll have a delicious breakfast here for you, okay? Don’t move or get shot or anything.” He pulled away, as delicately as he could slid off the bed, and ran to the door. “I promise I’ll be back quickly!” The pushed forward and disappeared.​

Leon felt Quinn press against him and rolled his eyes with a laugh. "I'll try not to." He said, smiling at the kiss to his cheeks and forehead. "I won't move a muscle, and I won't even get shot. Again." He said as he watched Quinn slide off the bed and head to the door. His gaze followed him until he couldn't anymore and then he was alone. His hands rested in his lap as he thought about last night. About yesterday. If Quinn had proposed to him, what would Leon say? The obvious answer was yes. But, he also knew Quinn. What if this was just.. something he wanted on a whim and then one day decided to find someone else? Leon wasn't sure if he was ready to commit to that when the idea that Quinn could leave was still rolling around. In the room further down the hall from them, Luke finally started to stir, a soft hum slipping out as he opened his eyes. He looked over at his fiancé and couldn't keep the smile off his face. He wondered if Ravi was even awake.​

Ravi was mildly awake when Luke began to stir. He didn’t really feel like getting up, though he knew that he should. They should go check on the other two. He was worried about how everything was left the evening before. “No…” he whined. “Don’t move. Not yet.” He snuggled closer. Quinn practically ran down the halls to get the food. He grabbed his and Leon’s breakfasts. He let everyone know that they would be out of reach for a while. He also ran to find Jerry and let him know what was going on. He refused not to stay with Leon. Someone needed to make sure he was okay. Who better than Quinn? He ran back, hoping he didn’t take too long. When he closed the door, he asked, “Did you get shot while I was gone?”​

Luke heard the whined words from Ravi and felt him snuggle closer. He knew they had to get up and check on their friends but he also was quite content where he was. "I'm not moving until you're ready my love. Promise." He replied as he held Ravi as close as he possibly could. Leon had been swirling inside his own head as he stared at his hands in his lap. He looked at the wrapped up wound on his leg and didn't move when the door opened and shut. He twined his hands together and shook his head at the question. "No. I didn't get shot." He said softly, though he didn't lift his head up.

Alex woke up that morning the cave, holding Hannah close. He knew they had to get back to the village so the Elders could give them their new house. He had to move the small amount of stuff he had, mostly clothes and his bow, there. And he was going to help Hannah move her things as well. He didn't want to move though, as he glanced beside him at her. He had to make this work and this was the best thing he could do.​

Ravi was very much not wanting to get up and do anything today. Work was his favorite thing to do for the most part. He loved building things and figuring out something new. This morning, however, he was more than happy to stay in bed and think about what it meant for him to be engaged. He did know they needed to get up. He relished in it a moment longer, sighed, and stretched himself up to work out his arms from being so tight. Quinn held both breakfasts in his hands. “Good. I don’t want to have to fend off more…” Something about the way Leon looked made Quinn pause. He held his breath as he walked over to the bed and put the food down. “How do you feel?” Asking if he was okay seemed silly since he was recovering from an arrow to the leg.

Hannah was awake. She was tired. She was sore. And she was awake. Her mind let her fall asleep quickly after the day they’d had. It was long, and though not necessarily hard, it was all new to them. She floated between elation and devastation. There was no in between. She could never voice this aloud. Not to anyone. Especially not to Alex. Alex who held her close in a way she used to want. Did want? She wasn’t sure. This was all too much still. She wished that she could go patrol. She wanted to do something with her hands that could be useful. When he woke, she looked ever at him. Considered who they were now. “Good morning,” was all she could say.​

Luke didn't want to move either and he didn't, until he felt Ravi stretch. He yawned and adjusted before he sat up and stretched out himself. "We should go check on them." Luke murmured as he looked over at Ravi as he leaned over and kissed him gently. "Last night was kind of.. intense." Leon didn't look up when he heard the pause and he continued to fiddle with his hands. He finally looked up as he saw the food set down and heard the question. He shook his head once. "I don't feel great. Very sore. And the wound burns a lot."

Alex looked at her, yesterday had been a lot and he smiled at her softly. "Good morning. How do you feel?" He asked concerned, shifting away to sit up and looked at her. He wasn't sure what else to say. "We should get moving soon so the Elders can give us our new home." Alex said quietly as he watched her, his mind whirling with what happened.​
