Rivet's P.O.V

We had been walking for about twenty minutes before I had spotted Clank and Kit running up to check on us. Clank had used my metal shoulder to get to Ratchet which I wasn't too fond of though I couldn't be mad. Ratchet and Clank had a very unique bond so it made sense he would be concerned and Kit had gently tapped my hand before asking what had happened. As I explained it for the second time so the two would understand they had both nodded before moving ahead to get fresh bandages to switch out the makeshift ones we had used.

Soon enough we had gotten home before we went inside as Alister and I went to the bathroom to clean Ratchet's leg. Ratchet's ears went down as the disinfectant had hit his leg making him hiss loudly making my ears go down while my dad's stayed up though I could tell he wasn't enjoying causing Ratchet pain and remembered why though I decided not to say anything as clank didn't want me to. Shortly after talwyn had came in with the medical wrap and guaze that Clank and Kit had rounded up as well as a towel to allow us to dab Ratchet's leg dry. After we wrapped his leg better it was obvious that he had gotten sand burn from skidding to a stop and so we applied ointment as well to help sooth them.

After everything was said and done everyone was ready to eat some food which Clank had already made. It was chicken alfredo and everyone was actually really excited about it. I didn't miss that Alister had grabbed a full plate of it tail wagging. I smiled before going to grab the ladal though I soon felt my hand had been touched by Ratchet's as he had been going to grab his own portion causing us both to blush before he let go letting me go first. After I had gotten my food I had purposely brushed my tail on his uninjured leg which made Ratchet shiver slightly before he had grabbed his own food though he had a light blush which was barely noticeable however everyone in the room didn't miss his reaction and smiled gently including my dad who's eyes portrayed happiness as he ate his food as to not say something to embarrass us which I appreciated.

After dinner had been finished everyone did their own thing though Ratchet had approached me with a desert flower in hand and handed it to me which I took before hugging him. We had stayed like that for about three minutes as his tail wrapped around mine before we broke the hug though I didn't pull my tail away and took a risk before kissing his cheek. Soon enough Ratchet returned the gesture by kissing my cheek back and tried unwinding his tail from mine not wanting to overdo it though I didn't mind having him near and kept him close. Ratchet soon smiled getting the message and then led us to the couch. For the rest of the night we had stayed next to each other and had fallen asleep together on the couch comfortable in each other's hold.
