This is gross, ( he comments helpfully, but there's already a tingling heat rising across pierce's skin and localising around the break. it would be painful if it was anyone else, nick's particular brand of healing isn't an instant fix — it's knitting bone and tissue and flesh back together, willing it all back into place bit by bit, and that usually hurts.

but. it's pierce, so nick just makes a face at him as he goes. ) like I know it's not the worst you've done, but it's still pretty gross.
