The idea of facing Cornelius again seemed almost impossible. The man wasn't stupid. He was going to be even more heavily armed and heavily guarded than before. Getting close to him was going to take a lot of time and a lot of planning, that he wasn't entirely sure that they had. The man was on to him, both of them. If he knew that they were working together he would stop at nothing to ensure they never drew another single breath. Jakob didn't know how they could stop him. It would be like going up against an army. Not wanting to dwell on such matters, he continued to eat and drink as he pleased. He had just about finished off all his eggs and was making a fine dent into the fluffy goodness of his pancakes. Licking syrup from his lips he picked up his mug once more for another sip of coffee. He too knew that he needed to finish up and go bathe. He didn't care that he reeked of sex and his skin was still sticky with sweat. For the moment he couldn't be bothered as he was quite content with how things were going this morning.

Returning back to his breakfast, Abel knew defeating Cornelius would be a miracle. He hardly understood his annoyance with him. The only reason Cornelius was after him was because someone touched his wife. Word was that it was him but hardly. Abel had predilection but women were not involved in it. He had found it laughable.

As he ate, Abel was starting to get full. He moved to close his box of food and set it back in the bag. Abel leaned back against the headboard. He relaxed as he sat there. Abel glanced at Miguel who was still eating. He shifted in the bed to stand as he stretched. Abel couldn't sit in bed all day.

Crossing the room, he made his way to his bathroom. Abel flipped on the light as he walked in. He made his way toward his large glass shower enclosure. Abel opened the door as he reached inside to turn on the water. He adjusted it then went to grab towels and washcloths. Abel waited for the water to heat up. He went about removing his sweatpants and tossed them in the nearby hamper. Abel grabbed a washcloth and returned to the shower. He opened the door and slipped inside. Abel shut the shower door behind him and walked towards the spray of water. He tipped his head back allowing the water to wash away the feel of sweat against his body.

As Jakob continued eat he too was starting to feel a little full. Jakob could usually eat quite a bit when he was feeling hungry, but even this amount was a bit absurd. It made him wonder why Abel ordered so much, or if he simply always ate like this when Kieran wasn't around. It was a question he wanted to ask but was not entirely sure Abel would answer. It seemed that for now, their time for conversation was over. Jakob continued to eat his pancakes until they were completely gone.

Beside him, he felt the bed shift, and glanced to see Abel shoving his box into the paper bag and rising from the bed. He was surprised that he was already finished, but didn't question it. Instead, he watched Abel circle the bed and head into the bath. The idea of a bath sounded lovely right about now, but he didn't want to undo all of the man's work from earlier. He had nothing to cover the gauze and protect it from getting wet. He was going to have to take a bath in the sink once Abel was finished. It was probably for the best, less chance of him hurting himself. Still, he hoped he wouldn't be too long. He was starting to feel a bit sticky and gross. Jakob ate the rest of his fill before following Abel's example and placing his own box into the bag. He moved it aside and stretched out among the pillows and blankets. He hadn't spent that much time in Abel's room before, but he had to admit that his bed was quite comfortable.

Abel wouldn't have minded if Miguel joined him. At least then he could help him if need be. Finishing getting wet, he reached for the soap along with the washcloth. He didn't need to wash his hair, just his body. Abel poured some soap into the rag then set it back down. He went about washing himself off as he stood next to the spray of water. Once finished washing, he set the rag down and dipped beneath the water. Abel didn't need a full shower, just a rinse off. He washed himself off then turned off the water.

Stepping out of the shower, Abel grabbed his towel. He went about drying himself off then tucking the towel around his waist. Abel returned back to his bedroom to see Miguel lying on the bed. He didn't mind as he walked to his dresser. Abel pulled open the top drawer and grabbed out a pair of black basketball shorts. He removed his towel as he pulled on the shorts. Abel threw the towel in the hamper then turned his attention to Miguel.

Jakob wouldn’t have minded joining Abel, but he didn’t want to bother him anymore with his wound. While he waited for him to finish in the shower, he put away his leftovers and made himself comfortable in bed. He laid in bed feeling calm and relaxed. He picked up Abel’s phone and skimmed the local news, curious if there was anything interesting. The minutes ticked by while Abel bathed. It wasn’t long before he heard the water cut off and the man returned. He closed out the app he’d been using and set the phone back down on the nightstand. Jakob paid him little mind while he went about drying and dressing. When he felt eyes on him, he turned his gaze to meet his. ”Feeling better?” he asked.

As he finished dressing, Abel returned his attention to Miguel who lay amongst the pillows and blankets. He listened as Miguel questioned him as he walked toward the bed. "Yes, and you? Did you want to wash up or would you rather just sit there? Abel teased, figuring that lying with c** and sweat covering him would be uncomfortable eventually.

As he lay comfortably, he returned the male’s gaze. Jakob questioned him casually and watched him move closer. He smiled as Abel teased him lightly. ”Mm, as well as I can be for the moment. I did think about joining you, but I didn’t want this getting wet.” he replied, indicating towards his side. Indeed the idea of laying in fluids all day did not appeal to him. Laying around naked was fun but not when he was crusty and covered in filth. Besides, he was sure that at some point Abel was going to want to change his sheets.

Standing beside the bed, Abel questioned Miguel in return. He listened as he spoke. Abel watched as he directed his attention to his side. "Right, well then…Do you want me to assist you to the bathroom or would you rather I just leave you here?" He asked, knowing he couldn't lie in bed all day himself. Abel knew it was still early so he wanted to do a little working out to help his body get back in shape.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob answered him honestly, he did in fact want to be clean but he also didn’t want to be a burden. Indicating towards his side, he hoped to make clear his dilemma. He watched as Abel glanced over before posing his next question. ” I think I can manage the three steps, but thank you.” he replied. Sitting up, he moved his legs over the side. He appreciated Abel’s offer but if he had other things to do he wouldn’t hold him. He understood that not everyone could laze about all day. Often times, Jakob felt the same.

Abel wasn't bothered by Miguel. After all, if he had been then he would not have been so helpful. He could see Miguel was being stubborn. Abel listened as Miguel spoke then stepped back to give him space. "Fine then suit yourself." He wasn't going to force the help if it wasn't needed. Though he didn't need Miguel bleeding on his floor if he hurt himself.

 

[Pure Acid Dreamer]

Jakob appreciated that Abel was being so helpful, but he didn’t think he needed it for this. Sitting up, he assured him that he was fine. He smiled as the man stepped back and allowed him to stand. ”If I fall and hurt myself I promise to call you.” he said. Walking around him, he paused briefly to press a kiss to Abel’s cheek. ”By the way, do you mind if I borrow some of your clothes when I’m done?” he asked as he continued towards the bathroom.

Stepping out of the way, he stood nearby. Abel wasn't too sure how stable Miguel's body was. However he proved to be fine as he walked around him, stopping to kiss his cheek. He watched as Miguel started toward the bathroom. Abel had started toward the door when he heard Miguel question him. He stopped to look at him. "Borrow whatever you want." Abel responded simply before leaving the bedroom. He started toward the stairs and down toward the kitchen. Abel soon arrived at the stairs leading downstairs to the basement. He flicked on the lights as he descended them.

He knew he was being stubborn but he hated being treated like a patient. Jakob had been injured before when he did need and he loathed it all the same. He figured that so long as he was careful, he could manage on his own. After giving him a kiss, Jakob continued on to the bathroom before pausing about clothing. While he was sure Abel wouldn’t mind him lying in his bed naked all day, Jakob did. He soon heard the male’s response and nodded. ”Thank you.” he called after him. As Abel took his leave, so did Jakob. He walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind himself.

Walking towards the linen closet, Jakob pulled out a towel and wash cloth. He took the items over to the counter and set them aside. He looked himself over, eyeing the marks Abel had left upon his skin down to the large bandage on his side. Perhaps he should have allowed Abel to help him but it was too late. He was likely out of earshot by now anyway. Picking up the wash cloth, Jakob turned on the faucet to wet it and ran it down his arms and chest. He took his time washing his upper body, carefully keeping the dressing to his wound clean. He continued to wash what he could of the lower half of his body, grunting softly as he felt a bit of pain from his side. He figured it wouldn’t hurt him too much to skip below his knees and his feet. It wasn’t as though he’d been running around in the mud. Jakob took extra care to clean his a** and between his legs, washing away all fluids from this morning’s activity.

Jakob eventually emerged from the bathroom feeling cleaner than when he entered it and came out just as naked as before. He had already dried himself and moved to the man’s closet. He rifled through his clothes a bit before taking a plain black shirt and slipping it over his head. The shirt was a little big and hung just below his hips. He contemplated just wearing that but decided against it. After more rifling he found a pair of lounge pants and pulled them on as well. When he was dressed, he was feeling slightly winded and moved to sit down on the edge of the bed. He hated the limitations of the wound. How he wished that he could just regenerate and be done with it. Sighing, Jakob crawled back in to bed and made himself comfortable. He laid there, looking around the large room, wishing he had something to do to occupy his time until Abel came back.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, he started toward the punching bag. He had opted to use the bag after Kirean left. Abel preferred to spar with someone although he'd rather not go to the gym. He stood on the mat in position as he started out with a few hits to gauge his movements.

An hour had gone by, Abel felt sweat dripping over his eyes and lips slightly. He stopped punching the bag as it swung a little. Abel stopped it before stepping away. He walked toward a shelf grabbing a towel. Abel wiped his face off as he made his way across the room to the dumbbells. He took a seat on a bench where he had left a few fifty pound weights. Abel reached down grabbing them. He started on a few sets of arm curls as he sat there.

Lying in Abel’s bed he didn’t know how long he would be gone. Jakob assumed that he had better things to do than to entertain him all day. He sighed, wishing that he had something to do. He looked around the room in hopes to find a book or a magazine, anything really to pass the time. Sitting up again, he eased off the bed again and crept around the side to where his pants still laid on the floor. Bending down, he ignored the pain in his side and picked them up to fish his phone out of his pocket. Once it was free, he dropped the garment and tapped the screen. Nothing. The device had died sometime from when he last used it.

Moving about the room, Jakob searched until he found Abel’s charging cable and plugged it into his phone. He left the device to charge on the nightstand and decided to go see if there might be anything of interest in Kieran’s room. Jakob quietly stepped out into the hallway, noticing how quiet the house was. Abel must have gone down to the basement or outside as his office was empty. He glanced towards the stairs, not wanting Abel to see him. He crossed over to his ex-boyfriend’s bedroom and twisted the knob. The air was a bit stale as he flicked on the light. Jakob could see a thin layer of dust was starting to cling to the objects that had been left behind. Biting his lower lip, he crept further in and ran his fingers across the bedspread. How he missed sleeping in this bed. He moved towards his closet and picked up the sleeve to one of his shirts. He could still smell the heavy scent of his cologne, it brought tears to his eyes. Jakob sniffed and wiped the tears away. He needed to get out of here. Dropping the sleeve, Jakob moved back to the door and turned out the light. Closing the door he went back across the hall and climbed back into bed. He needed to calm down, Able could be back any minute and he didn’t want him to see him like this.
