Ruggie had just had top surgery. His boyfriend, Leona Kingscholar, was right by his side through his whole transition.

Who knew the prince of the Sunset Savannah was able to have this much patience.

That beastman adored Ruggie. He really did. He had helped Ruggie through his whole transition. The testosterone doses, the various appointments, etc, he was there through it all.

Now, as Ruggie stirred awake, the anesthesia still lingering in his system. Ruggie opened his eyes to the sight of Leona sitting beside Ruggie, holding his hand.

His eyes softened when he saw Ruggie wake up. "Hey, there you are.." Leona said as he reached over with his free hand, taking Ruggie's other hand in his ow . "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Mm.." Ruggie grumbled, leaning into the touch. " 'm fine..." Ruggie mumbled.

Leona raised a brow in amusement. "Yeah?" He asked, continuing to run his fingers over Ruggie's hands. "You finally got the surgery, and your only thought is that you're fine?" He asked sarcastically.

"What...?" Ruggie mumbled, feeling his chest. Then he realized... he was flat chested. "Where did my boobs go?" Ruggje asked suddenly.

Leona chuckled softly, his hand now lingering on Ruggie's cheek. "Oh, Ruggie." he said, his thumb grazing Ruggie's cheek.

God, this man loved Ruggie and Ruggie could tell even while doped up on painkillers.
