"It's nothing."
"Don't tell me it's nothing, I saw you wince!" Hunter put his hands on his hips. "Come on Shawn, let me see."
Shawn pouted. "You're not gonna see anything Hunter, it didn't break the skin and it's too new to have a bruise yet!"
"I'm not going to just look at it, I'm going to inspect it. Now off with the pants already, I won't have you sitting here complaining one minute longer!"
Shawn hesitated for a moment, then stood and unbuckled his jeans. "You're not gonna give up, are you?"
"I never do," Hunter told him, his hands resting on his hips.
"Fine." Shawn slid the pants off his hips, leaving him in only his plain gray boxers. "Go ahead and inspect it then, but it's not gonna do either of us any good!."
"You never know," Hunter chided, sliding down onto his knees and patting the couch in front of him. Shawn reluctantly sat, stretching out his leg so Hunter could inspect his knee.
"How hard did you bang it?" Hunter questioned, running his fingers gently around the knee cap.
"Pretty hard," Shawn sighed. "It'll be fine, Hunter, really. With my back, believe me, I've felt worse! Ow ow ow! Stop!"
Hunter moved his hand away, glancing up at his friend. "I'm guessing that's where it hurts?"
"Yes that's where it hurts!" Shawn snapped. "Do you think I'm just sitting here screaming for fun?"
Hunter smirked, putting his hands back on Shawn's leg. "Sounds like something you'd do, if you thought someone would pay attention."
Shawn snorted, frowning down at the tall blonde. "If you do that again, I'm gonna be out of here in a flash."
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle this time." Hunter glanced up at Shawn, grinning wickedly, then lowered his mouth onto the patch of flesh just below his injured knee.
Shawn gasped as Hunter's hot mouth closed over his leg. "Hunter, what are you doing?" he gasped.
"Making you feel better," Hunter murmured, raising his mouth momentarily, then lowering it again on a slightly different spot.
"Oh Hunter," Shawn moaned, his fingers twining in the blonde's hair. "That feels great. So much better than a hot water bottle!"
"Glad to be of service," Hunter murmured,
letting his mouth slide further up Shawn's leg, up past his knee.
