Work Text:
It was a typical, calm tuesday evening. Asmodeus spent his morning at the factory, followed by getting things done at Ozzie’s for the rest of the day. Fizz had an afternoon rehersal, after which he joined his boyfriend at the club. Currently, both of them were home and The King of Lust was taking a quick look at emails and messages. After they arrived at the mansion both of them went to separate rooms to take care of their own stuff, so Ozz wasn’t really thinking about what Fizz could be doing. Probably binging another show, scrolling through sinstagram or maybe playing some video games, the usual he did to relax after work. The demon’s focus was broken with the sound of his office door opening.
„Hey, Ozzie?” Fizz peeked his head through the door.
„Yes Fizz? the sin responded, looking up from his work.
„I know you’re busy, a-and i don’t wanna bother you-“ „It’s alright, you’re not bothering me, this stuff is boring anyway” the jester got interrupted by his partner. „What is it, my love?”
„Okay… Please don’t be mad at me, but I, uh… I relapsed and i can’t stop the bleeding. I think I need your help…”
Ozzie’s heart sunk with worry. He quickly got up and rushed to scoop Fizzie into his arms. „I’m not mad, Froggie. I would never be mad over this. How long has it been since the bleeding started?”
„Uhh, 20-25 minutes i’d say? I tried putting pressure but it’s not working… I don’t know what to do, Ozzie…”
„Don’t worry, we’re gonna take care of it. You’re going to be okay, Froggie.” Asmodeus took his phone and called their personal medical team to send someone who could help Fizz. He then opened a portal to their bedroom and when they were there, he put Fizzie down on the bed.
„Okay, can I take a look Froggie?” The imp frowned at the question. „I need to see how it’s looking right now. I promise I’m going to be gentle”
„It’s not that, i know you will. I just… I don’t want you to get mad or upset.”
Ozzie really couldn’t understand why Fizz thought he was going to be mad. He wasn’t even sure he could get upset with his partner, let alone over something he had no control over. Sure, he was worried as hell, but that’s just because he cared so much for Fizzie and he didn’t want to see him get hurt. „Babe, I assure you I will not get mad or upset. I’m just worried, that’s all. I want to help you the best i can.” The sin put his hand on Fizzie’s cheek and kissed his forhead. „So, is it okay if I unwrap the bandage?”
The jester nodded and Asmodeus took off the bandage. The wound underneath it was quite deep and Ozz was sure it was going to need stitches. He knew it was going to stress his boyfriend, so he decided he’s not going to say anything about it for now.
When Fizz saw the way Ozzie looked at his cut, he started spiraling and feeling guilty. “Ozzie, I’m so sorry..! I didn’t mean to go this deep, it just happened I really don’t know how-“ “Froggie, calm down, love. I know you didn’t mean for this to happen. You don’t need to worry about this, okay?” “Yeah… okay…”
The sin made the bloody bandage disappear and a clean cloth fell into his palm instead. He put it against the cut and put pressure on it until the doctor arrived.
Fizz immediately tensed up and got fidgety as his boyfriend stood up and went to talk to the doctor. He got even more anxious when the physician started examining his wound. Ozzie sat on the bed next to him, held his hand and stroked his back in circles to calm down his racing heart.
“Do you feel lightheaded, or is anything else wrong at all?” the doctor asked.
“I feel a bit weak…” Fizzarolli said between the shallow breaths.
“That’s because of the blood loss. I’m afraid you need stitches. Please lay down, I’m going to prepare what I need.”
Fizz quickly turned to Ozzie, causing his vision to get blurry. He had support himself with his arms to not fall over. “Froggie, what’s wrong?” “It’s nothing, just dizzy…” the imp responded, his head still feeling fuzzy.
“Come on, lay down, don’t move too suddenly” Asmodeus said while preparing pillows for his partner.
Fizzarolli put his head on the pillow and Ozz moved himself closer. “Ozzie… I’m scared…” a tear fell down his cheek and The sin dried it with his hand. “I don’t want stitches..!”
“Love, I know you’re scared. But I’m right here okay? You can squeeze my hand when it hurts and here-“ Asmodeus reached over to get Fizzie a plushie. “You can hold this as well. It’s going to be alright” he said and gave Fizz a kiss on his cheek.
First, the doctor gave Fizzarolli a numbing shot. The sight of a needle made him very uncomfortable, but his boyfriend made sure to cover the view of it for him. After that the physician started stitching the wound.
It was extremely heartbreaking for Ozzie to watch his partner wince in pain and watch the tears fall down his face. With every squeeze he felt, he tried his best to comfort Fizz and make him feel at least a bit less scared. He hated moments like these, where his lover was in pain and there really wasn’t much he could do besides just being there for him. Of course, that was already a lot and he couldn’t imagine ever leaving Fizz alone in a situation like this, but he wished he could do more. Perhaps take his pain away or transfer it onto himself.
Soon, the doctor finished stitching up the cut and bandaged it. He advised Fizzarolli to rest and be careful for a couple of days, as to not tear the stitches.
When he left, Ozz took Fizzie into his arms and hugged him. “It’s okay now, Froggie. You’re so brave, my love” he said and gave the jester a few quick kisses. “Do you want to talk about what happened for you to relapse? If you don’t that’s alright too, but just know I’m wiling to listen.”
“Honestly… I guess my brain just got too loud again and I really wasn’t thinking clearly enough to come and talk to you. My thoughts were telling me not to, since you were working… but I know that wasn’t what i should do.”
“It’s okay, Froggie. Relapses happen, it’s a normal part of recovery. But please, don’t hesitate to talk to me anytime, you know i’d quit everything for you.”
“The thing is, I don’t want to be a burden to you, Oz…”
“And I promise you’re not. Seriously, I love you the most in the entire world, some paperwork or project development can wait a day if it means I get to help you. So, next time you’re not feeling well, remember I’m here.”
“Okay, I’ll remember.” Fizz smiled and yawned.
“It was a long day. Shall we go to sleep?” Ozzie asked while standing up with the jester still in his arms.
“Mhm. I’m soooo tired” Fizzie said and pouted.
His face made The sin smile and he chuckled, putting his lover back on the bed. He then lifted Fizzarolli’s shirt to help him get changed, when he noticed red marks on the imp’s lower stomach. He must have made a face that caught Fizz’ attention because he looked down at his own stomach as well.
“Oh shit… With the other cut I-I kind of forgot i did this…”
“It’s alright, love. Wait a second” Ozzie quickly went into the bathroom and returned with a gauze, a bottle of saline, wound ointment and a box of bandaids. “Let me play the doctor now”
“Are you really getting all horny now?” Fizz laughed.
“No, I wanted to make you laugh, and look, my evil plan worked!” Ozzie responded, putting all of the supplies on the bed.
“Sooo your definition of evil is just horny?” Fizzie teased.
“Well, I am the embodiment of lust, after all” Ozz teased him back.
The imp quieted down and observed while his boyfriend opened the saline bottle. “Is it going to hurt?” he asked, almost in a whisper.
“It’s going to sting a little, that’s all.”
Fizz nodded slightly and Asmodeus began cleaning the cuts. These were way more shallow and didn’t need much care, but Ozzie wanted to make sure everything was going to heal well. After that, he put a bit of the medicine on and grabbed two bandaids.
“Which one do you want, Froggie? The hearts or the dicks?”
“Hmm… Hearts!”
“As you wish, my love” Ozzie responded and put it on his skin. “Alright, let’s finish getting ready for bed now.”
Asmodeus helped Fizz change into his night gown and put his hat on one of the stands before taking off his clothes.
“Ozzie?”
“Yes, Froggie?”
“Thank you for being here for me.” Fizzie said and nuzzled his face into Ozzie’s chest.
“I will always be here for you, love” he responded and put his hand on his partner’s back. They fell asleep soon after, intertwined in a cozy hug.
