The hitmen soon arrive home as they have collected their money from their client,

 “Damn, they should have paid us more for this one after that shit show that happened.”

Enzo grunts bothersomely as Valentino seats himself next to him. 

“Meh, even if this kill was a bit messy, at least we can use the money our client gave us to get you some medicine for your arms.” He claimed,

 “Plus, you’ve done plenty. You already have my loveeee~” he purred teasingly, nudging his nose against Enzo’s cheek making him giggle. “How are your arms feeling so far? Tomorrow I’ll go get you some special ointment to keep your arms from getting infected. I remember my father having similar wounds, I know a thing or two about treating them.” 

 Enzo replies looking at his wounds covered in bandages, 

“Yeah I’m okay Val, and don’t worry. I think it acts as a good reminder of how amazing you were, fucking show-off hehe.”

“Awww shushhh~ but i'll still be sure to get some proper medicine for it ok?” 

 Valentino leaned in for a kiss then laid his head on Enzo’s shoulder gently, 

“Mhh…would you like to watch a movie tonight?” He said quietly, Enzo responded barely keeping his eyes opened,

“Hm? O-oh yeah sure!” Smiling as his eyes barely stood open and nearly shut, 

“Aw hehe, I’ll play something nice-“ Valentino picked up the remote and scrolled through the options of movies they could both watch. Eventually choosing one, he put the remote down and turned around, seeing a sleeping Enzo against his warm chest, unbothered. 

Valentino smiled,

“Awh..Enzo couldn’t stay up to watch the movie…” he whispered as he lifted his hand, gently removing his headband from his fuzzy hair.  “Goodnight Enzy..*smooch*” he slowly fell into a snooze with the fluffy haired male. 

A lab. 

A slow pacing of heavy boots clanking the white floors. 

“So, anything?” A deep mellowed voice spoke within the shadows of the darkened room, with only the city lights in the distance barely illuminating the walls. 

“No sir. I only caught them leaving the road with bloodied bodies.”

She spoke, but thought to herself, 

*”I was able to catch their faces this time, but I can’t tell him...”*

The shadowed figure opened its eyes, caressing its horns.

“You know as well as I that you are our best, right Es? And you know…”

The figure stood up,

 “That if you fail, you’ll end up like the rest of them. Just like the ones I let out to be killed by those two hitmen idiots. Understand?”

It’s eyes stared into the distance of the pit of darkness, making the creature nervous,

“Yes sir.” 

“Marvelous. Now go on, find more information we can use from them. Could be traces, DNA, anything. I’m not letting them away with this again.” The figure sat back down,

“Yes sir… I will let you know right away once I do.”

She claimed, leaving the room cautiously. Sighing.

Back at the hitmen home. 

It was daytime, afternoon. Enzo slowly opened his eyes, waking up holding a pillow against the couch only to see his partner in the kitchen from across, already having breakfast ready.

 “Oh, you’re awake!” Valentino shouts in excitement. Enzo gently sits up, rubbing his eyes,

“hnshg good morning Val~” he stretched his arms slowly rising from the couch, turning over to the clock in the living room up top, 

 “11:40 am already?” Enzo asks out of exhaustion, still tired along with a lot of soreness from waking up in an uncomfortable position. Valentino widens his look, 

“Well sweetie, uH... we had fun last night!~” placing a bowl on the counter gently, walking towards Enzo, gently sitting on his lap sideways, 

“And you did good~” he pulls on his tie teasingly, pulling him closer to his lips making Enzo huff a little,

“Do I have to remind you, Enzy?~” pulling out his knife and running it softly against Enzo’s throat,

 “H-hah~..I-I...” he groans, almost moaning, a small grin rising, allowing his neck to get closer to the sharp silver knife. Valentino then responds seductively,

 “You might not remember much, but y'know, we always get carried away, especially me~” Licking his knife moving closer. Enzo drools, trying to stay in stance, staring into his partner's blood red slit eyes, almost to where it looks like it’s glowing. Valentino then looks back up in a friendly face,

 “Hehe I’m kidding! Now come on and eat! ^^!” 

Valentino’s eyes revert dilated, standing up and walks back into the kitchen waiting for Enzo who’s smearing the drool off of his face,

 “uHh, oh right!” He stood up and he pulled back the stool seal in front of the counter. He sat half awake on the counter as his beloved continued to cook, with only the smell of the food's aroma keeping Enzo awake and not fall back into a deep slumber. Thankfully, the food was all ready. The sound of a plate clattering on the counter averted Enzo's eyes.

He looks at the food in awe, and takes a bite, 

“WOAH! This is delicious Val!” Valentino watches as he’s washing his hands,

“Hey hey take your time though hun. You know how tricky your eating disorder is still.” He kissed Enzo on his nose, making his beloved’s eyes close, making a big smile while eating his food. Enzo then finished his scrumptious food and scurried back to the couch and collapsed on the couch drifting back asleep. Valentino then finishes washing the dishes and catches his sleeping partner on the cozy couch,

 “D’awee Enzyy.”

Valentino pauses for a second and thinks to himself, 

“Ever since he was a kid, he was always awake, refused and just couldn’t sleep. I know it was because of his parents..but also because he wanted to hang out with me, since the night was the only time that we could see each other. And now,” he glared,

 “Now it’s like all of that missing rest for years caught up with him. Poor Enzo, such a tired big guy. The most I can do for him is just let him rest and help him with a small schedule. I wish I could’ve done more at the time..” Valentino sighs and picks his sleeping husband up, taking him into their room to let him rest,

“There you go big guy, sleep well. *smooch*” 

Valentino then changes Enzo into some comfortable clothes from the uniform he kept last night, 

“There. Now I should really go out to the pharmacy to see if I can buy him the ointment. I’d hate for his arms to get infected…it already seems to have grown some puss.”

Grabbing the keys, Valentino exits the house to go off and acquire said medicine. 

About an hour later, Valentino arrives back home. Holding  onto a small little brown bag, leaving it on the counter pulling out the bottle, 

“Hm, only about 3 drops on each arm it says…” he stared into the distance of the door of their bedroom,

“I might as well give it to him now while he’s asleep. I’ll let him know to take it everyday tomorrow after work.” 

Valentino quietly enters the room where his beloved slumbered,

“Alright Enzy, this will help you get better. I’d rather do something about it. Unlike when you first had your first accidental wounds from before…feeling hopeless and in pain, it wasn’t your fault tho. I just wish I really did do more to help you…If only I did, if only I was there sooner.” 

Unscrewing the bottle, he felt grief and guilt from his thoughts. Slowly he held and poured the medicine onto a cloth and gently rubbed it against Enzo’s limbs, hoping it’s enough. 

A few hours passed, it was 8pm.

He mumbled. He did mumble a lot to himself. Enzo didn’t have many people in his life and would spend most of his time alone. He would always play amongst himself, which of course he would talk to himself a lot, 

“Pew pew!! Oh noOOo blEHh” he silently shouts while playing with his cars and figures. Enzo then sighs, staring down onto his figures, and leans against his bed. After a while of pondering, he then whispers into a foreign language, Russian, 

“When will I ever get out of this…” he then heard a disturbing sound of loud shuffling in the bushes outside the window. Turning around, staying as silent as he could while walking towards his window, carefully listening, 

“BOO!” A child bursts out of the bushes, scaring Enzo,

 “WAHH!” Enzo shouts out of surprise falling on the floor.

The boy giggles falling on his back from Enzo’s fall. Enzo peeks out closer to the big window and opens it to where Valentino scared him, his heart still pacing, breathing heavily, 

“Gotchaaa!” Valentino teases. Enzo looks around and lifted the shaft of his window, peeking his head out,

“W-what are you doing here?!” shouting quietly, though Valentino couldn’t understand him out of his foreign language, but assumed by Enzo’s expression that he was asking him a question about his presence,

 “I’m Just bored *snorts* hehe. Come with me!” 

Lending his hand out, to indicate for Enzo to come along with him. Enzo backs up, shaking his head in disagreement, 

“I can’t.. my parents, they’ll—” Valentino quickly reaches his hand out, grabbing Enzo's hand and pulling him out of the window, “Come on!” 

Running out into the forest.

 “*gasp-*” 

Enzo wakes, in a bit of a heavy breath of disturbance. 

Enzo raises his head up quickly, heavily breathing, then hears a melody of humming. It felt comforting, his heart started to calm down from the disturbing memory. Enough to lie his head back down, and only left one eye open. Gently squinting as he listens to his beautiful husband's voice singing to himself as he does a little jig while adjusting his clothing and even making his way around the house in and out of the room. Enzo rolls onto his belly laying down rolled upward to see Valentino as he has his arms crossed and chin resting, watching and listening to his beloved, his eyes drooping.

Valentino walks back inside galloping in the room,

 “Enzyy~, wake uppp!” he gently shook him,

 “We gotta get ready, It’s already night time!” Valentino gets out and sees Enzo awake, watching and listening. Valentino pulled his arm as he fell on the floor with a thump, Picking him up and pats his back,

“Cmon. Off you go now big guy! *flailing his hand to go* here I’ll turn on the shower for ya”

Enzo sighed, 

“There, nice and warm just how you like it. C'mon now, into the shower you go-“ Valentino at least helped him take his shirt off as a starting point,

"Mhh..Val i'm not a kid---"

"Attaaa you weren't treated like a kid when you were supposed to be one now go, shoo mi amor."

Enzo finally entered the shower.

After a few minutes, Enzo walks out of the shower and puts on clean clothes. Valentino then walks up to him, 

“Your tie is a bit loose, let me fix that for ya~!” and organizes it as Enzo chuckled and nuzzles his face,

 “Thanks sweetie💖” 

Finally, both men are all ready for their next few targets. Out into the night. Enzo pulls up his sleeves and cocks his gun while Valentino licks his knife. Enzo yelled out in a smug and excited tone, 

“Hehe…let’s go get some blood on our hands~”
