"You got something there," Kip said, gesturing to his own nose.
Blood had started coming out of Ilya's and was slowly dripping towards his upper lip. Ilya looked up from his phone, hand tentatively brushing a the blood with a wince. "It nothing," he said in his sexy accent.
"There is literal blood leaving your body, that isn't 'nothing'," Kip said sassily.
When Ilya didn't respond, bringing his attention back to his phone, Kip rolled his eyes, huffed out a breath and went to find some paper towel, Brawny brand.
By the time he returned, the blood on Ilya's face had made it to his lip. Kip said, "You should probably take your shirt off so it doesn't get stained."
Ilya looked up and dead panned "What?"
"I know how you like to be fastidious," Kip said. When Ilya didn't respond, Kip started "fastidious means -."
"I know what fastidious means," Ilya cut him off.
"Ok, fine, sorry," Kip put his hands up. "How about I take my shirt off too, would that make you more comfortable?" Met again with a blank stare, Kip started taking off his shirt.
"No, no that is not necessary," Ilya firmly said. Instinctively Ilya's tongue darted out to clean up the blood on his lip, wincing in disgust.
Kip folded his arms, "Now will you let me help you?" A momentary aversion of his eyes indicated assent and Kip moved in with the previously obtained paper towels. Putting his phone down, Ilya raised his head slightly to permit Kip's ministrations. After a moment of silent working, Kip said "Is this a thing or do I need to notify your team doctor?"
"Old injury," Ilya said shortly.
"I can't quite get it all. It's dark." Kip said looking into Ilya's dark nostrils. Looking around, Kip grabbed the dining table lamp that looked like a miniature street lamp. "I can't...quite..." Kip said trying to position it just right.
"Here," Ilya said, taking the lamp so Kip could stuff his nose with Brawny paper towel, slightly wincing at the discomfort. Their eyes met and neither could help but chuckle at the absurdity of it.
Just then Shane came in on his boyfriend and friend chuckling, paper towel coming out of his boyfriend's nose and asked "Babe, did you just get your nose period?"
